The test didn't like my answers to the first page of questions and refused to let me proceed.

I guess I'm unsuited for employment :(

Did you pick one on least and one on perfectly as I suggested?

To be fair, it'd be nice if survey told you that instruction from the start rather than showing up in small red font as an error message.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

One more try:

Ruler

QuoteThe Ruler archetype is about creating (and ruling) the perfect kingdom. A focus on rules and process as well as status and prestige are indicators of a strong Ruler presence.

Strengths   Rulers are natural leaders. You may have a knack for process and systems, and this allows you to handle complex tasks well. Leading with vision is the Ruler's greatest gift.

Traps to avoid   The dark side of the Ruler archetype is a tendency to be over controlling. Rulers also have a propensity to focus too much on status and hierarchy.

Heh.

If you're not having fun, try harder.
The Jester archetype indicates someone with an irreverent playfulness that values fun and humor. Jesters may have a hard time taking things seriously, which can be
Strengths    The Jester doesn't get caught up in the details or worry too much about problems.

You tend to see the world in a little bit different light, which allows you to excel at brainstorming new ideas.

Traps to avoid    The Jester archetype tends to be irresponsible and undisciplined. Routine tasks may fall to the wayside in search of fun and levity.

Interesting recommendations as to careers, though.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

QuoteMagician (81%)
Making dreams come true.


Strengths    A strong Magician archetype means you have a strong belief in your own ability to change the world. Often the Magician can change a negative situation into a positive one just by redefining the issues or changing goals to meet the new situation.
Traps to avoid    Too often a Magician will spend time waiting for the miracle to happen, rather than putting in the effort to make it happen. Procrastination and over complication of simple solutions can be traps for the Magician.
