Thanks. I'm surprised by that 5 core.

And I just realized I mis-marked 12 and 18. 12 should be B and 18 A. I don't know if that'll change anything though.

[Jeremy8419]

5w6, 9w1, 4w5.

594

Neato. Now, post my altered answers to be 9w1, 2w3, 5w6 (925) and then one for 9w8, 3w2, 6w5 (936).

 

[Brains]

1. B
2. B
3. B
4. X. Completely depends on if it's eg. business or not. Sabotaging others' effort for petty stubbornness is not okay. If you can leave, do.
5. B
6. Both, but B I guess
7. This question should really be split. Like meeting people, less formality. Would say B.
8. B
9. B
10. X
11. X
12. B
13. B
14. B
15. Both heavily, more A. Theory has to get rather detached for me to grow disinterested with it.
16. A
17. B
18. A
19. B
20. B
21. B
22. The larger the org, the more rules are simply a necessity. Don't mind breaking them if it doesn't hurt others.
23. B
24. Not an iceman but generally don't worry about things overmuch.
25. B
26. A
27. A
28. B
29. B
30. B, don't mind losing.
31. A
32. A

Overall good choices, but I'd definitely break some or most of the double/multiple statements into separate items. Some of the things lumped together are not necessarily things which people have the same attitude to.

 

[Punderstorm]

What do the spaces mean?

The spaces mean nothing, they were just to organise it.

 

[Mal12345]

i should probably provide full disclosure too since i no longer have my type listed and senza did it. very close. i type as 6w7/9w1 (both are very strong) 4w3

You just stated on another thread that you identify as 9 sp.

 

[Mal12345]

And I just realized I mis-marked 12 and 18. 12 should be B and 18 A. I don't know if that'll change anything though.

I already have 12 as B and 18 as A for you. Am I psychic?

 

[Mal12345]

When I omit the spaces you only answered 30 out of 32.

Ughhhhh I can't believe I made the same mistake TWICE. I meant 12 A and 18 B.

 

[Punderstorm]

When I omit the spaces you only answered 30 out of 32.

Whoops, sorry! Fixed it.

 

[Mal12345]

Ughhhhh I can't believe I made the same mistake TWICE. I meant 12 A and 18 B.

You still came out as 514.

 

[Mal12345]

Whoops, sorry! Fixed it.

Where?

 

[Punderstorm]

Where?

I edited the original answers under the spoiler, sorry about that.

Here's the score sheet.

View attachment 16062

You probably already know this but the scoring as it stands right now is overestimating some types while underestimating others. For example, from a preliminary scan, there's a possible total of 117 points available for type 8 and only 69 for type 2.

Similarly, there's a total of 23 responses (most of them worth 5 points) that contribute to the type 5 score and only 19 responses that contribute to the type 4 score (most of them worth 4 points).

Why did you set it up that way?
