Cipolla Human Temperament Test (IDRLABS)

[Kephalos]

I'll at least skim through the book on which this test is based, The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity (1976) by the economist Carlo Cipolla:

Human beings fall into four basic categories: the helpless, the intelligent, the bandits and the stupid...If Tom takes an action and suffers a loss while producing a gain to Dick, Tom's mark will fall in field H: Tom acted helplessly. If Tom takes an action by which he makes a gain while yielding a gain also to Dick, Tom's mark will fall in area I: Tom acted intelligently. If Tom takes an action by which he makes a gain causing Dick a loss, Tom's mark will fall in area B: Tom acted as a bandit. Stupidity is related to area S and to all positions on axis Y below point O.

Cipolla Temperament Test: I like the terminology that they use better than the original.

I took the test, but I will not tell my results, as I feel I would be bragging .

Put the MBTI functions on it.

that was a great way to make something truly bad even worse -- so congrats!

Thanks. That was very kind of you to say.

 

[Totenkindly]

Thanks. That was very kind of you to say.

I just want you to feel great even when I'm frustrated!

(or was I supposed to say, "Thanks, that was very stupid of you to say" lol)

That wouldn't be very kind either coming from someone who thinks they are very very kind and moral according to their test result, don't you think? What would you call such a person?

Carlo Cipolla, I guess?

 

[yeghor]

Carlo Cipolla, I guess?

Well the thing is you are not Carlo Cipallo, are you?

You are this very very kind hearted person with such good morals, who would not have any qualms calling people stupid because some other guy categorized them so, are you?

 

[Totenkindly]

Well the thing is you are not Carlo Cipallo, are you?

I found it amusing that this test came with a warning reminiscent of what Disney+ puts up for some of their content.

I did like this part:

Stupid People: Do bad to others while simultaneously doing bad to themselves (lose-lose). Non-stupid people always underestimate the damage these people can do.

Well, that's not at all relevant to our current situation.

This test assumes way too much, and is too one dimensional in its questions.

 

[Morpeko]

very true

In the original test, the stupid component is actually defined as Naivete btw.

Thus, results can be associated to MBTI S, N, T and F as show quoted, to cross-check typing.
