Months ago I got hooked on Emode.com and took a bunch of personality tests. Yes, yes, very lame. Too bad, I had fun with it anyway. Hell, why do you think I have a Surveys section here, if not to point out how hopelessly addicted I can be?

Anyway, long posting short, I’m a “Secret Agent.” It says so right here:

Karel, you’re a Secret Agent!

Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types ó your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Secret Agent which means you are a Thinker / Seeker. Your primary sub-type is defined by “Thinker” characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by “Seeker” characteristics.

That means you’re basically a smart, shrewd loner. Chances are although you prefer solitude, you’re a deeply caring person full of energy and ideas. On a personal level, you’re sensitive. You may worry too much about how you compare to others, and your mood suffers under such intense personal scrutiny.

How do we know all this? How do we know that you like to work in a cubicle and eat lunch at your desk? How could we have divined that you possess a critical eye that assures your final product is always top rate?

Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions ó questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance ó the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Secret Agent.

Sure, why not. It’s as accurate as any of the other multiple-choice quiz assessment tests, anyway. If you have a few spare minutes you can take the test yourself. If you’re really bored you can email me via the link on this page so we can compare notes. Wouldn’t that be fun? Wouldn’t it? Huh?
