I did the test again and it spat out my old result. Clever buggers, you need to pay the second time.
Pay? There is something wrong, there.

^ In other words, it's telling me that my specialties are basic things that literally everyone can do, things that don't require any sort of skill, intelligence, or ability.ORDER is the mindframe of rules. It enables you to:
Name, define and classify things
Record facts and data
Inspect for compliance with standards
Proofread text for errors
Put something in its proper place
Comply with laws, policies and regulations
Remember someone's name, address or phone number
Read and follow instructions
Study maps, blueprints and diagrams
Specify a requirement
Calculate how much money is available
Determine how much time is needed
Operate machinery and precision tools
Measure something accurately
Use gauges and meters
Troubleshoot technical problems
I'm a little frightened of anyone with a lead mind frame of order. *shudder*
Considering the test results can easily change, I wouldn't take it too seriously.
Don't people say this about MBTI as well?
omg there is SO much bias in this!!

Thinking critically? Pshaw. Thinking at ALL? Whatever. Having any legitimately special talent? Nope! But at least I can measure things accurately.

It's correlated to Si.
And not everyone's good at those things...
It just happens to be the most common function...
Got something against SJs?
What's new...
That's true, about a lot of them. I could see "Proofread text for errors" and "Determine how much time is needed" as being things that not everyone is naturally good at -- especially if they're concept people and not detail people. But honest to god -- "Measure something accurately"? "Operate machinery and precision tools"???It's correlated to Si.

Don't think of it as enjoying rules and regulations -- think of it as being comfortable with the familiar and the proven effective. SJs and "Order" people don't follow rules because they're rules, but they're more likely than other types to see those rules as valid, because they have faith in what has been proven to be effective. And if the rule has been proven to be ineffective, a minority of SJs/"Order" people would respect it as equal to "just" rules.I'm not particularly good at typing people so I'm not sure maybe the people I tend to find frustrating are SJs? It would seem compared to all the other possible mindframes a person could receive as their lead on the test, Order, would be the one most likely to mean difficulties between the person and I. Do I think people that are comfortable and enjoy rules, regulations, and bureaucracy should be lined up against a wall and shot? No. I just don't want to be around them because I find them annoying.

I won't bite! Really!
(although I did LOL when I found out that my top two are Order and Control, just because that sounds so terrifying!)
Eh. Anyone who knows me at all could tell you that I'm not like that.Well, it sounds like you have a promising career as a dominatrix. I hear they make pretty good money.

I can do 3/4 out of them. I'm very good at proofreading texts, measuring and operating tools.That's true, about a lot of them.

Like I said before, it has to do with what laws make sense. Therefore, I, and lots of "order" people/SJs would agree with you. The stop light laws make no sense when there's no one around and you're in a hurry. It definitely is situational -- and that's what I was talking about in my previous post.I think the issue is I don't often agree that the rules being enforced are valid or relevant. If it is 3am and there is no traffic I don't find anything wrong with crossing the street against the light. Rules and regulations are meant to serve a certain function or purpose. At 3am there is no traffic so why would I take note of a traffic light? My interaction with the world is similarly fluid because I think life is situational.
I'd argue to give them a second chance, just because people like that are not nearly as closed-minded as you think. I say this because I'm one of them.Maybe it wasn't the healthiest reaction but I just decided to almost write those people off.
It's not scary if you prove them wrong.I think what frightens me about some people like this is that while they can exist in my world (just preferably somewhere else and far away from me) my orientation in life and that I've been able to find success in my wacky adventures and on my own terms seems to threaten the way they think things work.
Dude, in all seriousness, some people totally suck at those things too...
Tbh, I considered the measuring one as one of the more relevant ones to my point.
Some people are precise about shit like that; some people absolutely suck at it.
It seems to have to do with a certain anal-retentiveness associated with Si.
(Based on my ISTJ father and his ridiculously meticulous measuring habits.)
You guys are right and I'm wrong. I guess I'm naive to the point that I haven't really encountered people like that before. I had been under the impression that anyone could be naturally talented at any of those things as long as they had enough practice (or, e.g., "Anyone can use this machine as long as they read the instruction manual first").I never take a test which asks me to register at the website. But I was intrigued by this one...
I can do 3/4 out of them. I'm very good at proofreading texts, measuring and operating tools.
But you'd be surprised at how many folks can't measure anything. I've seen strange things at the lab. They just can't keep their attention on it. "Add water till 10 ml in a flask; use a pipette" -> they use a measuring cylinder instead of a flask, which is less accurate; they just add water from the bottle, which means they get easily too much...
And as for operating precision tools: don't ask my hubby to do that. He calls himself clumsy, but I think he lacks experience (because everybody called him clumsy and didn't let him try enough) and patience (if a repairing task doesn't go well from the first go, he is frustrated, while I somehow already calculate "several tries" in the time such a task would take).
