Friday Filler
Nothing interesting going on at the ranch. I've been working at the store the last several nights, with a 9-5 shift tomorrow. D is working on the wedding video we shot last weekend. Took monster and a friend to see "Flushed Away". I didn't stay to watch it, but the boys thought it was pretty hysterical. I would have rather it been Wallace and Gromit.
Yahoo! must have a slow news day... the main news story was a "who are you" personality test. It said Star Trek, so of course I had to follow the link. It's more of a read than you'd think, so plan accordingly:
Star Trek Personality Test Results: INTJ
This test says you are an INTJ (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker, Judger).* In Star Trek, you share a basic personality configuration with the characters of Jean-Luc Picard, Seven of Nine, and T'Pol.
"Things are only impossible until they're not." - Picard
Qualities
People like you are generally autonomous, reserved (perceived by others as "aloof"), and intellectual. You sometimes give the impression you have no need of others, but you're intensely curious and driven to learn. You're cautious with others socially and respond best to people who don't push you to be friendly or affectionate. You appreciate when others follow your lead and accept your advice in the helpful spirit in which it is intended. You're calm by nature and feel off-balance when confronted by highly emotional people.
You're highly organized and expect the same of others. You analyze automatically and enjoy seeing patterns and trends. When your mind is made up, that's it, which means that while you're definitive and strong, you can be stubborn and arrogant. You live in a world of ideas.
You respond best to other people's needs when they tell you about them clearly. You value honesty greatly and you're excellent at employing constructive criticism. You prize people who listen to you and respect your ideals. You are somewhat contemptuous of those who don't pay attention to what you say and extremely contemptuous of those who can't do their jobs well.
Goals
Your primary goal in life is achieving independence and being able to live according to your own standards. Your reward is continual expansion of your competence and knowledge.
Work
You are almost completely project-driven. Though you won't work against your fundamental principles, the current job before you can consume pretty much all other considerations. You will perform all-out for a superior you respect, but you have a sometimes unfortunate tendency to let bosses know when they've lost your admiration, or when you disagree with them.
You lead and follow equally well, as long as you believe that what you're doing will work. Perceived futility can make you shut down, and you will suffer intense feelings of failure if your end product is not "perfect." A good supervisor will give you praise for all successes. A bad one will only add to your stress by pointing out problems you already know about for which you are probably already punishing yourself. When stressed, you may deny blame out of self-preservation.
Make sure you market yourself and your ideas at work, or you may be taken for granted. All too often, the logic of your strategy can be lost on others, so don't resent it when asked to explain your actions.
Relationships
Social skills may be your undoing, especially making small talk at parties or flirting with strangers. You feel everything very deeply, so you've learned to keep what you feel to yourself. This combination can alienate people instantly and even make stubborn suitors give up in frustration.
On the flip side, you can learn to interpret others' visual and vocal signals with expertise if you're willing to make the effort. You're better at understanding people than you may think, and you work hard at relationships you care about. But beware answering someone's request for emotional support with advice and solutions.
Jobs
Good careers for your type include being a starship captain, intellectual property attorney, news analyst, design engineer, software developer, inventor, Webmaster, architect, and ex-Borg
They missed the mark a bit with the "can't socialize well". Otherwise, I'm happy with the results. And I look good in tight jumpsuits, score!
You can read about other personality types here. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and they'll give you several other acronym links.
There is also a Star Wars personality test, but I haven't tried it yet. I don't care as much for quizzes where to you have to tally points/answers. Guess I've been spoiled by Blogthings and their button clicks.
PS: Hug a veteran. Even if you don't have a uniform thing like *some* people I know. They're special.

Kindred souls - I was also an INTJ when I took it a few years ago. Although I've felt more positive about the other descriptions of the type that I've read. The quick summary blurb from the "official" Myers-Briggs we took, for instance:
INTJ have original minds and a great drive for implementing their ideas and achieving their goals. Quickly see patterns in external events and develop long-range explanatory perspectives. When committed, organize a job and carry it through. Skeptical and independent, have high standards of competence and performance--for themselves and others.
I'll have to take this Star Trek one soon to see if I still score the same.
Actually, now that I read it again, I really see myself in that description. It just focuses a bit less on the positives than some I've seen.
True, they indicate weaknesses as well as strengths. I was just happy to come up as Picard. He's my favorite.
I like the M-S description. There probably is something to the notion we think a like. Must have been a reason I tripped across the Goblin!
