I’m a Mastermind

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on April 25, 2001). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

At the recommendation of Jaime, I just took The Spark‘s personality test — and according to them, I’m an S.I.A.T. Mastermind (Submissive Introvert Abstract Thinker). Pretty nifty, huh? Here’s what that means: according to them…

Like just 9% of the population you are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this “scheming.” Don’t learn German.

Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader — you’ve definitely got the “vision” thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.

Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Montgomery Burns.

Those of you who know me at all can make your own judgements as to how accurate they are — as for me, I’m pretty amused.
