Are you a Talant, a Lifer, or a Mandarin?

Take the test.

I'm a Lifer:

Quote:

You are a Lifer!

To you, a job is what pays the bills. You put in your hours, follow the rules, and then go home. Occasionally, you consider quitting, but then you think of how bad the job market is and you reconsider. Whatever happiness you get, you get from your life outside the workplace. Relationships, family, hobbies, and outside creative pursuits are what really matter to you. You're probably taking this test at work because you don't have anything better to do.

So I am also a lifer as well as a Mazda RX-8.

Not Afraid

You are a Talent!

You're a risk-taker, and you follow your passions. You're determined to take on the world and succeed on your own terms. Whether in the arts, science, engineering, business, or politics, you fearlessly express your own vision of the world. You're not afraid of a fight, and you're not afraid to bet your future on your own abilities. If you find a job boring or stifling, you're already preparing your resume. You believe in doing what you love, and you're not willing to settle for an ordinary life.

Your scores:

Talent: 67%
Lifer: 31%
Mandarin: 41%

41/64/41 - Big time lifer, apparently.

And I would agree with the written assessment at the end in terms of how it applies to me. I work to pay the bills. i'm not ambitious in my career, and my happiness comes from outside my job, and those thing are primarily family and coaching basketball.

I'm a Mandarin. I'm not sure if I know what that means. But a lot of this description is true.

Quote:

You're an intellectual, and you've worked hard to get where you are now. You're a strong believer in education, and you think many of the world's problems could be solved if people were more informed and more rational.

Especially the following.

Quote:

You have no tolerance for sloppy or lazy thinking. It frustrates you when people who are ignorant or dishonest rise to positions of power.

I'm not so sure about this part.

Quote:

You believe that people can make a difference in the world, and you're determined to try.

Talent: 38% Lifer: 51% Mandarin: 54%

I'm surprised Talent edged out Lifer. I'm a a Talent at heart and a Lifer in fact. I thought my answers betrayed my Lifer status, but apparently my soul won out by a slim margin!

I'm a talented Mercedes - but this is what I aspire to be:

What Would Nietzsche Drive?

Answer: Nietzsche would drive a black Lamborghini Murcielago, and he would drive it hard.

The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!

-- Friedrich Nietzsche

The true man wants two things: danger and play.

-- Friedrich Nietzsche

I get to ride home from work occasionally in a Murcielago Roadster :D

It's pretty awesome that the engine noise is loud enough to disrupt conversation with the person next to you, and pretty cool to get stared at.
