I spent Monday and Tuesday on an offsite with my team, and one of the things we talked about was Myers-Briggs Personality Types. In case anyone is interested, I am an ENTP.
I stumbled across a Programmer's Personality Type test this morning, and thought it would be fun to share. Just as in Myers-Briggs, there are 4 scales:
- Doer - Planner (D-P)
- Low Level - High Level (L-H)
- Solo Situation - Team (S-T)
- Conservative Programmer - liBeral Programmer (C-B)
I took the test and came out as a DHTC.
You're a Doer. - You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better. After all, time is money.
You like coding at a High level. - The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs in the same way.
You work best in a Team. - A good group is better than the sum of it's parts. The only thing better than a genius programmer is a cohesive group of genius programmers.
You are a Conservative programmer. - The less code you write, the less chance there is of it containing a bug. You write short and to the point code that gets the job done efficiently.
What's your Programmer Personality Type?
