Psycho-Geometrics. Fun stuff.
Yeah, it's a little linear and traditional in its thinking, but for me, it was right on.

(22,038 posts)In the first test, I was told that I was a squiggle/triangle and something else. Yes, three different things.
Today, I took it and was told I was rectangle.
I don't think this test has much validity

(29,135 posts)As a 'box,' I'm a 'perfectionist loner,' who would not be suited for upper management. So, yeah, it was just kind of for fun.

THE CIRCLE/SQUIGGLE COMBINATION
You are a rare person who is equally comfortable working alone and participating in teamwork projects.
Your role on a team is twofold: you are the catalyst who encourages others to participate, and you are the idea person who loves to brainstorm. If a team is lucky enough to include you, they will both enjoy the experience and develop creative solutions to their problems.
Since you are primarily a right-brained thinker, you see the "big picture" and are more interested in "Why" than in "How". You are not detail-oriented; you are conceptual, creative, and intuitive. You are a change agent, not a maintainer. You get bored doing repetitive, routine work. You need variety in your work that allows you to "switch gears" often.
Your natural tendency is to be friendly and caring toward others, and you will always give others a second chance. However, when someone lets you down enough times, you finally will "write them off." You have particular difficulty with slow thinkers and those who will not make decisions without thorough analysis. (You must curb your natural dislike of Box people.) This is because you are bright, a quick-thinker and a very spontaneous person. When you see a solution, you want to run with it. Others seem to slow you down.
You are often disappointed in colleagues, but you try your best to disguise your feelings. You are an excellent communicator and you have the ability to motivate others to do their best. You are a natural born teacher and mentor. Under your tutelage, students will flower.
Talking straight...
At work: You bring sunshine into any workplace! You are well liked, positive, and have an almost childlike need for play and fun. However, you are very disorganized and have difficulty with deadlines and details. Your follow-up skills are non-existent. Your office looks like a hurricane hit it; papers are strewn all over the floor. You abhor paperwork, rules, and regulations. You are a knowledge worker, not an administrator.
You will have difficulty in a traditional management position and are best suited to high-level project team leadership. You are more a leader, than a manager. You like to make a mess and have someone else clean it up. You would thrive in an academic setting with bright colleagues and little administrative responsibility. You need to work on self-discipline and financial management.
At leisure: You need loving friends around you. You have strong social needs and enjoy being the "Life of the Party." You are the first one up on the stage at the Karaoke Bar. You are a born entertainer. Your sense of humour is excellent, but tends to the "weird" side. You sometimes embarrass your friends. In an ideal world, you would not have to work at all...you would just play all day.
Your hobbies are numerous, diverse, and constantly changing. You are not athletic (somewhat clumsy, in fact) and prefer group activities and mind games. You enjoy science fiction and your musical tastes run to the unusual, offbeat counter-culture groups. You love the theatre. Your personal style is eccentric; you often wear clothing that doesn't match. You prefer large patterns and t-shirts with political commentary on the front. You like to make a statement.
Today's TIP!...
Set a personal goal to GET ORGANIZED! You're driving everyone crazy! Clean up your office, meet at least one deadline, and, then, invite everyone to party after work to celebrate what you accomplished today!

(29,414 posts)Although I really wish questionnaires like this had a "middle" answer. Too many of them for me were "Well, it could go both ways" or "sometimes, not always." Also, I was clicking through the questions fast, and I know I clicked on at least two with answers I didn't mean, so I have no idea what my results might have been now...

(2,211 posts)The first time I took it the other day I was a squiggle. I took it first thing in the morning.
Just took it again and the first time I came up with squiggle, rectangle, and triangle and it told me to take it again.
When I took it again, I was a circle and box.
So, I think it makes a big difference on when you take it and then what questions get posed. Each time I took it there were a few of the same questions and ones I'd not seen before.
Definitely fun to do!
