Pretty cool. They have different tracks depending on where you are in your career progression. And the photoshopped graphics are funny. :D

My result:

Apparently I "know nothing", if memes are to be believed.

You are Jon Snow. You are honorable, strong-willed and trustworthy. Your subordinates, other than a few more experienced hands, mostly look up to you, but you can be short-sighted and naïve, and your tenacious loyalty can prevent you from moving up the corporate ladder.

You are Tyrion Lannister. You are strategic, knowledgeable and gregarious. You’re the boss everyone wants to report to since you’re always expensing catered lunches and after-work drinks. You’re also fair and compassionate. Your fresh perspective often goes against the grain, which doesn’t always win the respect of your peers or bosses at more traditional companies.

Wow, what a shocker.

Well, he's still alive even if he's across the Narrow Sea.

Jaime Lannister
You are Jaime Lannister. You are arrogant and aloof, and you possess a cutting wit. While you prefer to focus on your own contributions rather than lead, you step up when the situation calls for it and have your own unique code of honor that sometimes deprives you of companywide respect and praise.

Tyrion's cool, so I'll take it. :)

LMAO. I had the EXACT same reaction when I got him, too.

I got Tyrion Lannister when I told the truth and said I was a junior employee:

"You are Tyrion Lannister. You are strategic, knowledgeable and gregarious. You’re the boss everyone wants to report to since you’re always expensing catered lunches and after-work drinks. You’re also fair and compassionate. Your fresh perspective often goes against the grain, which doesn’t always win the respect of your peers or bosses at more traditional companies."

I got Jon Snow when I lied and said I was a mid-level manager, AND when I lied and said I was a senior executive.

"You are Jon Snow. You are honorable, strong-willed and trustworthy. Your subordinates, other than a few more experienced hands, mostly look up to you, but you can be short-sighted and naïve, and your tenacious loyalty can prevent you from moving up the corporate ladder."

Tyrion sounds more like me IMO.

You are Daenerys Targaryen. You are inclusive, caring and compassionate, but you are not afraid to punish subordinates if need be. You can be a bit stubborn and attracted to risky situations, however, and that leads some of your subordinates to doubt you.

Pretty cool test! Like how the different tracks sort of diverged.

Did they include any of the (many) dead characters on this test at all? I guess WSJ doesn't think people want to take a test where they get a result that tells them that they are likely to get bumped off.

Looks to me like two of the character outcomes are dead, yes.

Of course, it wasn't necessarily their fault they died. Stuff happens. I suppose if they had been even more bloodthirsty and tyrannical, they might have lived.

Ha. Well, I think it's pretty obvious that Ramsey Bolton is going to end up being the one sitting the Iron Throne at the series end. Everything is pointing in that direction.

You are Petyr Baelish, aka Littlefinger. You are strategic, slippery and good with finance. There isn’t a thing going on in the company you don’t know about, and you find ways to profit from all of them. Nobody really likes or trusts you, and you treat your subordinates as disposable pawns in your quest for executive power.


it's not my fault that I know everything that happens in my workplace... people just tell me things :doh:
