| | A while back, I made some reference to the Myers-Briggs test (or "type indicator" as they call it). At the time, I couldn't find a site that provided the test for free, but... Wikipedia to the rescue!
(Okay, technically these are "inspired by" the Myers-Briggs. Whatever. They're good enough. The point is that they will categorize you into one of 16 groups. Doesn't that sound appealing?)
Humanmetrics
If you take the test and get a four-letter code, let me know what you think about your results. Accurate? Of course, there are problems inherent in self-administered personality tests, which is why these are just for fun.
By the way, I recently read a Wikipedia article about artificial humans and how our feelings toward them change as they become more and more life-like. It's a theory called The Uncanny Valley. I thought it was very interesting, especially where it talks about computer-generated people in movies. Helps me understand why I like some computer animated movies and not others.
(And as a final note -- does the phrase "the uncanny valley" make anyone else remember childhood commercials for the X-Men cartoon? They would always call them "the uncanny X-Men". As a child, I had no idea what that meant, although it sounded cool. I asked one of my older brothers what "uncanny" meant and he told me "not canny". Good one.) |
