- If you answered mostly As, you’re a pragmatic collector (loser)
You’re a very pragmatic type of person. You like to count things and are probably into collecting all sorts of stuff, like imaginary friends. It’s okay, tech people are weird, but life isn’t always about counting and owning things. Step back, distance yourself from the world you’re living in and try to see the global picture. Contextualize the data you’re so keen to collect and make it useful.
- If you answered mostly Bs, you’re a perfectionist living in the moment (chicken)
Wow, we’ve got quite the analytical mindset here! Well done. You can’t be tricked by vanity metrics. Too smart. BUT you’re also a perfectionist living in the moment. You’re never completely satisfied and always looking for the little mistake you’ve made. Don’t be so harsh on yourself, and accept that the risky road to success is paved with irregular rocks. Allow yourself to Dream Big! YEAH!
- If you answered mostly Cs, you’re Steve Jobs’ and James Bond’s unborn lovechild (tech-God)
You’ve stepped onto the stage and into the evil villain’s lair. You got the teeming masses of fans excited and you’re ready to drive your Aston Martin off a cliff with your supermodel co-spy in the passenger seat. From there, not only do you have a panoramic view of the situation but you’re also taking the necessary risks to achieve your mission no matter what. You analyse the past, make informed decisions in the present and are not afraid to consider what goes into an uncertain, yet supremely inspirational future.
