QuoteSage (68%)

The truth will set you free

The Sage never stops learning and has a desire to understand everything. This understanding doesn't necessarily mean a desire to act on that truth, which can sometimes keep the Sage a dispassionate observer in his or her own life.

Though oddly I got both Creator and Revolutionary with the exact same score. :hmm:

75% Sage

56% Everyperson
QuoteThe Everyperson archetype is deeply concerned with fairness, equality and teamwork. These people often have a down to earth and unpretentious outlook and have little patience for people who put on airs.

50% Jester
QuoteThe 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 helpful when it is time to come up with new ways of looking at problems.

Jester doesn't sound a lot like me, though.

Creator 93%
The Creator is concerned with growth, beauty and self-expression. A strong presence of Creator indicates a constant pursuit of an internal vision, which may be physical beauty or elegant simplicity in everyday tasks.

Strengths--Individuals with a strong Creator archetype tend to be influenced by a deeper inspiration. This internal vision can give rise to new ideas and new ways of expressing old ideas.
Traps to avoid--Creators may find themselves constantly striving to change things that don't need fixing. It can also lead to a single-minded focus that can detract from other important activities.

Ideal Career for a Creator
Advertising
Architecture
Arts and Entertainment
Graphic Arts
Internet and New Media
Marketing
Media -- Print
Media -- Broadcast
Printing and Publishing
Public Relations
Science and Research
IT -- Computers, Software
Environment
Construction and Installation

An organization that allows the freedom to express your own vision will make the Creator comfortable at work. Look for employers that have good communication systems in place to allow your ideas to be heard and acted upon.

Magician (75%)
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.

Ideal Career for a Magician
Executive and Management
IT -- Executive, Consulting
Real Estate
Advertising
Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing
Graphic Arts
Internet and New Media
IT -- All
IT -- Networking
Logistics
Planning
Telecommunications

It also gave me 75% for jester, though.

87% Everyperson.
75% Sage.
75% Jester.

I'm not sure the Everyperson thing fits me that well. The fact that I value teamwork doesn't mean I want consensus or everyone having their say. It means that I value co-workers that don't make things harder for their comrades. For example there was this one guy at my last job that worked very hard, but tended to do things the fast and dirty way, without taking into account how that would impact others in the team (bugs, time-consuming procedures and so on). There were a couple others that would, however, think beforehand and sit with each other to discuss the project. This invariably led to more time designing the project but much less start-up times and especially very few incidences during post-sale support periods.

QuoteYou scored highest in Revolutionary (68%) 
 
Dare to be different. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revolutionaries are unconventional risk takers with a tendency to do things differently just to be different. Revolutionaries are rarely content with the status quo and will create new ways of doing things, even when the old ways are working just fine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Strengths  Revolutionaries are innovators. The innovation applies not just to products and process, but also culture and thought. If you are a Revolutionary you are comfortable taking risks and usually don't care what other people think about you. 

Traps to avoid  The Revolutionary needs to avoid change for change's sake. Anarchy and chaos can overtake the reasonable order and discipline it takes to get everyday tasks accomplished.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
