This is a HeadGum Original. Welcome! Welcome! Yeah, let's just, um... Welcome to testing! Testing! Nice. We, uh, we should just get into the exam.

Because, like, a lot of the times we dilly-daddle, say, oh, how's it going? Oh, this is crazy. We're in the same room. I sang the intro and I was about to start. I was about to start. I was about to go right into it. Namaste. You're nasty. You're acting nasty. I'm nervous because I won't do well at the test if it's a weird subject.

Yeah, you're actually, I think this is one test that you could very legitimately fail. I'm giving you a free personality test. Excuse me? It's a personality test. Is this like the Myers-Briggs? It spits out what I am at the end of it? Precisely. Oh, it is the Myers-Briggs.

I don't know. Precisely that. It's like, I don't know. It gives you your Myers-Briggs. I don't know. Precisely that. It's like, I don't know. No, it gives you your Myers-Briggs score. Okay. But I don't know if it's the official Myers-Briggs test. I just know that I took it. This is a test I can't fail because I just have to answer it to the truest ability.

You might fucking unlock the fact that you don't have a personality. You'd love that. i wouldn't love it i would be confirmed in my belief that you're not quite human everybody can have a personality you're not even if your personality is boring that's a personality you can't not have one we'll see what happens with the test holy shit i failed that you are not. This guy isn't. Yeah. Okay, so this is the personality test. It's on a website called 16 Personalities, which I actually really liked.

So shout out to them. Each of these has kind of like a sliding scale. Okay. There's like the strongest agree and the strong disagree. But in between that, there's actually like 5,000 little notches. There's a medium, a light agree, a neutral, a light disagree, a stronger disagree, and then the max disagree. Wow. So you have basically three on the disagree, three on the agree, or completely neutral.

One in the middle. Yeah. A menorah of options. Precisely. And you are the shamest. The sh you are the shamest and you will be ashamed of this nice thank you you let's take a break really you regularly make new friends oh that is not the strongest disagree because i have made some new friends, but generally disagree. So let's go light and medium. Let's go medium disagree.

Yeah. Smash cut to everyone kicking you out of the mafia game. Yeah. None of those people were my friends. Right. To be sure. You spend a lot of your free time exploring various random topics that pique your interest. That's pretty good.

I think I do. I think I find myself diving deep into hobbies and jobbies as it were. Does it count if it's always basketball, NFTs, or crypto? I would hope so

just because those are things that I'm interested in. Yeah, and stuff like NFTs I didn't really know about last year and now I'm into them. That's true. So I'll say, yeah. Strong agree? Strong agree.

Strong agree, nice. Seeing other people cry. Wait, I'm sorry. You don't believe my answer. I saw you notch a medium agree. I don't think you actually do that deep of a dive. It's very surface level yeah okay um seeing other people cry can easily make you feel like you want to cry too strong disagree yeah strong

yeah i don't watch movies and cry for example example. Right. Okay. You often make a backup plan for a backup plan. No, that's a strong disagreement. You don't even, I've never seen you make a plan. I don't like to plan things. I'm just like, take me where to go and we'll figure it out on the day. That's right. That's right. You usually stay calm, even under a lot of pressure.

Hmm. usually stay calm even under a lot of pressure not the most because i've been known to get frazzled occasionally but i will say a medium agree what is something that frazzled you like when family's involved and like i have to like make sure that my parents are comfortable and also i have to go here and i feel bad it's like oh i have to yeah i want to play poker with my friends but my mom wants to see me for dinner and so now i feel guilty leaving early and it's just like a lot of internal turmoil even your internal your turmoil is internal it's internal turmoil oh my god in turmoil yeah an intermoil i feel like even you losing your cool people would be like he's pretty calm yeah that's why i'm not gonna that's why i'm gonna put you on strong agree

uh yeah like i said it's a medium okay let's say neutral that's worse i feel like we're waffled now you're starting to piss me off all right nice all right media yeah strong medium agree yeah medium agree not light agree that's the idea yeah okay at social events you rarely try to introduce yourself to new people and mostly talk to the ones you already know strongest agree yeah strongest you don't make a lot of new friends okay do you want to hear your results no no that's it thanks for listening everybody we'll be back next week i'll answer some more kobe questions um you prefer to completely finish one project before starting another i'm trying to like zoom out and see like what they're trying to say about me

and see if I can answer it that way. But I wouldn't, you know, got reaction. I don't even think about starting or finishing things. So I'm just always doing neutral. Yeah. Let's go neutral.

But I guess, yeah, I don't, you're indifferent. You're indifferent. So you don't prefer. I'm thinking about it now that I'm like, no,

I just don't know which way I would go on this one. Do you happen to have any inclination? I mean, I just feel like by the nature of what we do, we never finish projects, right? It feels like there's lots of hanging or I'll just do this and then we'll do this and we have to do this.

Yeah. But let's go neutral i don't feel strongly one way or another yeah okay you are very sentimental see that's different than like being sensitive right am i sentimental do you reflect on things and appreciate them maybe a little bit i don't think I'm anti-sentimental. Like, I don't throw away childhood photos of my family and friends. I'm like, oh, I don't need this right now.

Right, yeah. I'm like, oh, it's a picture of me and my high school friends. I'll keep it. Yeah, okay. The lightest agree. Light agree, all right. I might agree with that light agree.

You like to use organizing tools. What's that supposed to mean? Schedules. Oh, I see. Yeah. Now I'm like really pissed off. Right. You actually are pretty quick to fly off the handle.

I'm going to go back. Do I like to be organized? What were we talking about? Sorry, I'm starting a new project slash podcast. I like to be organized, basically. Use tools to help me organize. Tools, schedules, lists. Yeah, sure.

I mean, I have a Google Calendar. That's a thing. You're so disorganized. This is fucking... You don't have an organizing tool. No. I guess a calendar is all I need. Yeah, but I invite you to the google

calendar events yes so i don't even know if you're i don't know if you can say that you use that i use it i don't create it yeah but i you but i do often check it like i'm not like yeah i i'm often like texting people back and like on top of that world where it's not like yeah i texted him i invited him and he i just didn't hear back right you're on top of your stuff yeah but are you on top of yourself because you have a good memory or because you use organizing tools like schedules and lists lists i don't use schedules i do light agree medium agree or like i'm not like a completely all over the place where i'm like i don't know where my passport is and i think my wallet is a deck of cards somewhere okay strong agree let's go light light okay good even a small mistake can cause you to doubt your overall

abilities and knowledge strong disagree strong i'm very i'm very um confident in who I am. That's nice. Yeah. I don't doubt myself, regardless of the many, many failures and setbacks. Speaking of feeling confident in who you are, are you comfortable just walking up to someone you find interesting and striking up a conversation? I'm not.

Thank you for asking. I would never do that. Strong disagree. Strong, strong disagree. Wow. Unless I'm drunk, which I rarely thank you for asking i would never do that strong disagree strong strong disagree wow like i'm not like unless i'm drunk which i rarely am at a party i'm not going up to somebody like your hair is so cool pink that's so funny like what made you want to do that right i wouldn't do that yeah okay that's good you're not too interested in discussing various interpretations and analyses of creative works. I would say that's pretty true. Whenever we finish a movie, Avital's like, I got to see, like, reviews of it and what people thought.

Yeah. I'm like, I don't care what other people thought. The same thing happens when Jill and I see a movie. She, like, wants to talk about it and dissect it, like, compare it to other work. And she'll, like, watch the credits. I'm like, i already forgot that happened i was on my phone for half of it i watched it i liked it now it's gone yeah uh i don't mind talking about it sure but like i don't need to know what the rotten tomato score was yeah

so would you say this is discussing various interpretations and analysis. But then again, with sports, I do. I do a deep dive, like basketball. This is of creative works. Yeah, so this is, so yeah. Medium disagree. Medium disagree. Okay. You are more inclined to follow your head than your heart.

Yeah, strongest disagree. I'm mostly head, very little very little heart wait so you're strong agree yeah strong agree that's an interesting one yeah more logical weighing pros and cons what will the monetary output be and then follow that path okay you usually prefer just doing what you feel like at any given moment instead of planning a particular daily routine. Sorry, I thought that was my result. So, okay, great. Now I know that about myself.

You kind of aren't, according to this quiz. I prefer, what was that last one? Doing what you feel like at any given moment instead of planning a particular daily routine. No, I got a good routine, so I disagree with that. Disagree, strong, medium, light? Medium, disagree. routine no i got a i got a good routine so i disagree with that yeah disagree strong medium light medium disagree you rarely worry about whether you make a good impression on people you meet that's a strong agree that is very strong yeah you don't i do find myself like not being and it is to a fault like i'm not very effusive and nice. Avital is much better at that. Like, Oh,

saying hi and saying goodbye. And like when somebody leaves being like, bye, this person's name, nice to meet you. I never like say that person's name. I never say bye. You take a long time to warm up to people, but when you do,

you really stick your, your like steady friend. Maybe that's what it is. I think that I'm friendlier up top and in the long run less friendly you're less friendly up top but in the long run more friendly as long as the relationship lasts a long time but then i also hear people like tell avital like oh he's so nice i really liked him and then she's like why like he didn't do anything that exciting when he met like i give off maybe my lack of caring or falseness of like politeness and manners makes some people like

that yeah you don't or they're so nice in a way that i'm not that they say stuff like that right like i'll never meet someone's boyfriend and text that person later be like i had an awesome time your friends are awesome whereas like that's a fun good thing that somebody else yeah definitely i do a follow-up text yeah um that is that's interesting that's interesting yeah i remember you like one time uh we had like hired interns at college humor and you just like ripped ass in front of them at one point yeah and i was like i would never fart in front of new people but you don't care yeah and did that make them like me more they loved you that was a legend for that. Holy shit.

The legend of Farter Vance. Farter Vance. Nice. You enjoy participating in group activities. I strongly agree. I do like group activities. Okay, nice. You like books and movies that make you come up with your own interpretation of the ending.

That was like a real rollercoaster. You like books. No. And movies. Okay. That make you come up with your own interpretation of the ending. Oh, it's like a real rollercoaster. You like books? No. And movies? Okay. That make you come up with your own interpretation. That end open ended. So it lets you fill in the blank, as they say. I guess light disagree.

I like a nice story that wraps itself up in a way that makes sense. Not like, yeah, they don't say whether he lives or dies because it's sort of open to you right it's like all right so they did a cop out i never liked that before but as i've gotten older i've started to because i just hate sad endings now so you could just interpret it as joy yeah so i just like happy ending just like how weak is it at like the end of that like lost

in translation where it's like he walks up to her and whispers something that we can't hear it's like okay so you didn't come up with something interesting and now you just did that? That's so fucking lame. I actually never saw that movie, but that sounds awful. Yeah. Okay. Your happiness comes more from helping others accomplish things than your own accomplishments. My happiness comes from helping others versus my own?

Yeah. Probably. I mean, a lot, this is where me being truthful and honest is high because a lot of people would say yes to this. Nobody wants to be like, yes, I prefer my joy to other people or my accomplishments to others. But I do. I get happier when I do something good than when somebody else does.

I'm sorry. Well, even the way I would think about that like i don't think i would agree to this for like most people it's not like i'm at work trying to like help everyone before me but i think that like i put my family first or something like having helping my my brother or a loved one come up like accomplish something or jill i would be happier i think but like you can still be like i'm happy for my friends when they succeed. But I'd rather me succeed. You never told me good job.

If I had to choose between me and a friend succeeding, you'd have to think you would choose you. Well, that's, but that's, so that's more like survival. What's, where does your happiness come more from? You succeeding. I feel, I guess I feel more joy with me succeeding, but it's not like I don't feel joy with them.

It's like, for me, I feel 100 and with them, I feel 95. All right. So it sounds like a light agree. Yeah. It's like if I- Or light disagree. If you, here's a good example. You were at Vegas and you put $1,000 on red and you hit it.

You're fucking jumping up for joy. That was amazing. And what a great hit for you. Right. If I tell you I came back from Vegas and I put $1,000 on red and I hit it, you wouldn't be like, yeah, woo, yes, fuck yeah. But you didn't help me in that case. Imagine. Oh, it's specifically that I helped you?

Helping others, yeah. Oh, okay. That's a little different. Right. Your happiness comes from helping others. Because then it's still coming from you. It's like I helped him and that person. It's like, oh, I got a job that you put me up for and put in a good word for me.

So that's almost better because it's your accomplishment and theirs in one. Yes. Or. We would celebrate more if we both put in 500 bucks than if only. Yes, to put in your Vegas example. So I'll say. It's like you told me what to put it on. You're like, put it on you're like put it on red in that case you would be an

asshole if you're like i prefer only me and not them to both of us together so i'll say strong agree but not the strongest okay medium agree yeah that was a real fucking roller coaster it really was you're interested in so many things that you find it difficult to choose what to try next. Strong disagree. I don't have so many hobbies that I can't focus on one. But are you prone to worrying that things will take a turn for the worst? I'm pretty nihilistic and like generally baseline things are bad and will get awful. But I'm not like, oh my God, what if I get hit by a bus?

I'm just like, it seems like the world is heading to a bad place and an unsustainable level of global warming is that worrying or is it being fine with it okay yeah that seems more like it's your you have a pessimistic attitude about the world not like um think oh something's going well like uh it's time for the other shoe to drop right exactly yeah yeah i'm on vacation well i guess now it's time for it to rain the right so i'll say medium disagree okay you avoid leadership roles in group settings do we have another test or is this the whole episode is this this is the whole episode i'm going to pause us on 50 right now we're 33 done with this test okay okay uh so what's the question you avoid leadership roles in group settings

um yes that's true i do strong strong especially on a zoom like i'll let you talk because sometimes two people are talking at the same time or Or like if it's a four person zoo, I'm like, I really don't have to say anything here. Like three people talking is more than enough. Totally. And when I, when that's happening to me,

I'm like, well, I guess no one's going to talk and I have to do it. Yeah. But I wonder what would happen if I just don't. But I, I often like just quickly assume responsibility. All right.

You were definitely not an artistic type of person. Agree. Not really. I find myself to be very creative. Comedy. Not really. Yes, really. Really.

I have several outlets of my social media that I use vociferously and prolifically. I'm an absolute maven slash Svenjali of myself since 2006 okay we haven't missed a week strong agree episodes of the show podcasts zero breaks 15 years never that's art yeah i'm adding a fucking second one now for some reason people take two weeks off we never have months off sabbatical vacation no that can't happen with us. You work hard before and after. No respite. That's what it takes to be an artist. You think the world would be a better place

if people relied more on rationality and less on their feelings. Oh, huge. That's a good tattoo for me. Yeah, big agree. That's my life moniker, I guess. And do you prefer to do your chores before allowing yourself to relax?

I like to say agree, but probably not. Like, there are days where I'm like, I really should fold the laundry and then I can chill. And then it's like, I'll just take a bath and fall asleep. I'll do that tomorrow. Wild. Yeah. So that's, would you say that's a strong disagree

or a medium disagree? Let's go light disagree. I'd like to live like that, but I don't see okay uh you enjoy watching people argue you think real like real arguments like my parents yelling at each other or like reality i think this is like it depends on the like nature of the argument like sometimes friends are joking arguments and it's very funny if you i guess like it's like if you saw a couple fighting at a bar would you watch uh i would like to yes okay so is that medium agree let's go let's go medium agree you tend to avoid drawing attention to yourself. Ooh, good question. I think so.

Right. Yeah. But like when you're around your friends, you like it. Yeah. I'm a class clown amongst friends, but like at a party, it's never about me. You're talking to just the friends. Yeah. So would you say strong agree, light agree, medium agree?

Let's go medium agree. Your mood can change very quickly. No, strong disagree. I'm pretty even-keeled. I agree with that, yeah. You lose patience with people who are not as efficient as you. Lose patience? If someone's not doing something right because there's a better way to do it are you like you suck you know yeah or do i at least think that but not act on it because

i don't want to be right you don't lose patience yeah um i don't know it's hard because like patience you could fake patience and that's still patient like if somebody's first day at the job and they're like not doing well i'm like don't worry about it but i'm inside i'm like what the fuck are you doing right am i patient or not i think that's patience because i'm able to suppress how angry i actually am right that's all i think that's all that patience is it's not actually asking you to be calm is it yeah showing patience you can't tell me to alter my thoughts can you like it's all about who can mask it the most i mean what you can the max you can do for yourself is probably better but the max you can do for society that's all that anyone

could ask yeah a thin veneer yeah of politeness but i'm sure somebody's sweet like your mother or something is actually very kind even her inner mon monologue is like, don't worry about it. I can't imagine my first day. Yeah, maybe. Unless inside she's hiding a world of demons that she would never even tell you about. I know she hates you. Okay. Not what I actually mentioned slash brought up.

Or wanted to hear. Or needed to hear. I am patient is what it's asking me. Do you lose patience with people who are not as efficient as you? I'll go strong disagree. I don't lose patience. Yeah. You often end up doing things at the last possible moment.

Slight agree. I do like to like, I'm not packing the morning of a trip, but I'm also not packing like two days in advance. Right. Yeah. Well, that's crazy because you have the toiletries that you kind of use right up until the last second. Yeah. And like what, it takes me like 20 minutes to put shirts in a suitcase. What do you want me to like do that on Tuesday if I'm leaving on Friday?

Great. Now I have shirts in a suitcase. You'll often show up in a city needing to shop though i'll need i'll have not had toothpaste for example okay yeah and you have always been fascinated by the question of what if anything happens after death a strong disagree. A morbid curiosity. Yeah. That's not me. So you're not fascinated by that. That puts us exactly at halfway. Wow. So let's take that quick break and we'll come out.

I need to like decompress after that. Yeah. It was too much reflecting. Because you were pissed that I wasn't doing it as efficiently as you. Permission to load OnlyFans during the break. Denied. You're already doing it. Denied, I said.

And we are back with the second half to find out what Amir is and why he is. Are you ready? I can't wait to find out who I am. And why? And when. And how. And how.

You usually prefer to be around others rather than on your own. Not all the time, but yeah, I guess I prefer to be with people. Like, I'm never going to travel by myself. That doesn't sound nice to me. Light agree? Let's go medium agree. Because sometimes I do like to be alone. Yeah.

So, okay. You become bored or lose interest when the discussion gets highly theoretical. Bored or lose interest. It's theoretical. I guess that depends on the definition of theory. What's an example of a theoretical conversation? Okay, theoretical conversation. So, I don't want to bring it back to the death thing.

Let's talk about, let's make it about creating art. Where do you go to create? What kind of mental headspace do you want to be in? That's pretty, so yeah, I do get bored at that kind of stuff. It's got to be real. I like to keep it real. You do. Keep it 100.

Strong agree? Medium agree? Strong agree. it real you do keep it 100 strong agree medium agree uh strong agree you find it easy to empathize with a person whose experiences are very different from yours i will say i understand and appreciate the plight of people who are different than me to fully empathize like feel bad in a way that they're feeling bad. Maybe not the strongest. I'll go light agree. Light agree. Yeah.

You usually. Because I have a law degree. Nice. Congrats. I didn't know that. You usually postpone finalizing decisions for as long as possible. Yeah, that's true. I'd like to have the most time to make up my mind.

Okay. Is that a strong agree? Strong agree. You rarely second guess the choices that you've made. I do sometimes, but not all the time. I'll go medium disagree. Medium disagree. You mean that would.

Oh, wait. Yeah. No, wait. That makes it so you it does it says you second guess them a lot okay so you rarely do it yeah but i do sometimes okay cool um after a long and exhausting week a lively social event is just what you need no no i don't think i need the social event you barely yeah okay after a long week too after a long week yeah i need to like you want to ramp up to a to an event yeah if you have a

big event you want to have a light week yes light week okay after a long exact finite energy okay so um that's a strong disagree it sounds yeah um okay do. You enjoy going to art museums. Medium disagree. It's not the worst thing in the world, but I'm never actively going to seek it out. No, you're not very cultured. You don't like to say that. I just said it's like...

You're kind of a plebeian. Not really. I actually do appreciate... Oh, good. Agreed. You're a pachacorete you're gonna talk about films you don't talk about art theory you barely talk about art history and any time i get theoretical you do now it's antithetical you never come to my art parties or parties for short

you have nice you have you often have a hard time understanding other people's feelings. No, I understand other people's feelings. Okay. So is that a strong agree, medium? I have a hard time understanding their feelings. Yeah, strongly disagree. Disagree, strong disagree. I wouldn't necessarily share those feelings, but I understand them.

I think you're dumb for having them, but I know what they are. Trust me. I get where you're coming from. I fucking want to put you on a medium disagree on that, but okay. You like to have a to-do list for each day. Light disagree. I mean, it's nice to have a thing of things to do but i'm not writing them down yeah so disagree so it's light disagree light disagree okay um you rarely feel insecure

that's true strong agree strong agree i rarely feel insecure i would love that you avoid making phone calls uh yeah i don't like making phone calls that's true but wrong medium medium yeah i prefer a text you have a tiny little chicken dick and no nads wow let's go strong agree on to the next one you often spend a lot of time trying to understand views that are very different from your own. About your chickeny dick. Cluck, cluck, you small pubed man. What was that?

I already, I was thinking about making the joke and wasn't listening. You often spend a lot of time trying to understand views that are very different from your own. No, I do not spend a lot of time doing that. So that's a strong disagree. Yeah. All right. We are almost done. So that's a strong disagree. Yeah. All right. We are almost done. Holy shit. I'm scared.

In your social circle, you're often the one who contacts your friends and initiates activities. Low. Yeah. Strong disagree? Medium disagree. If your plans are interrupted, your top priority is to get back on track as soon as possible. I mean, I guess if I'm going somewhere and it gets derailed, I'd like to still go there. All right.

Well, what about if it's not like a trip? Let's like plan for your day. Like I'm going to answer these emails. I'm going to write this script. But then you have to like go bring your dog to the vet. Will you come back and get to work? depending on what time of day it is you'll say this is a wash yeah it all depends it's too i'll do neutral because i can't i can't feel strongly either okay you are still bothered by mistakes that you made a long time ago false i'm not still bothered strong strong disagree you rarely contemplate the reasons

for human existence or the meaning of life yeah strong agree i rarely do that yeah let's agree with that i agree you rarely do what's that's very philosophical oh and let me guess you you do that you spend a lot of time i'm a socrates ier. I'm a Socrates. I am a Plato. I am Aristotle. You think Socrates wore Socrates? Nice. That's as fucking much as you think about Socrates. And you know he didn't.

Your emotions control you more than you control them. That's a strong disagree. Yeah. I control my emotions but you do you do take great care not to make people look bad even when it is completely their fault or do you relish when somebody falls flat on their ass depends on the situation i like proving people wrong swine yeah i don't want to embarrass anybody who's trying their hardest but if like i think one thing and they're wrong about it i'll bring it up yeah so you don't mind if someone looks bad

no as long as it makes me good right they can be bad would you say a strong disagree i would say i've already answered it and this interview is over. I'm going to do strong disagree. I actually don't think I should continue recording. We have about 10 more questions. Really? I actually think I have to go. You and your personal work style is closer to spontaneous bursts of energy than organized and consistent efforts.

No, we're consistent if anything we're not good but we do it all the time so strong disagree a little bit of everything all of the time yes and when someone thinks highly of you you wonder how long it's going to take them to feel disappointed you never think that if they think highly i'm enjoying it and moving on i'm never like why when will it end yeah okay good that sounds healthy you would love a job you would love a job oh you would love it love a job sure that requires you to work alone most of the time no i would not like that job so i'm strong disagree you believe that pondering abstract philosophical questions is a waste of time i actually think talking about this philosophical question has been a waste of time we're beating a dead horse yeah like i would not take this test if not for a pod yeah so that's a

strong agree yeah you feel more drawn to places with busy bustling atmospheres than quiet intimate places uh i mean with covid it's a different game you don't like to be in this yeah this test was not designed with covid in mind so think try to channel pre-covid times uh yeah things can get too crowded like i don't like concerts and stuff so i'll go strongly agree or lightly agree lightly agree because i still like sporting events oh so wait that's actually light disagree then okay you feel more drawn to places with busy but you're not like disagree okay you know at first glance how someone is feeling. I'm pretty intuitive and I can read the room. Really?

So I'll say... Strong disagree because they're going to attack me for that. So I'm already out thinking the game. Not really. Really? You're trying to outsmart a personality test oh my nose is bleeding i'll fucking pick neutral uh yes i know wait is this how people are feeling yeah you know at first glance yeah yeah medium agree medium agree yeah okay these are the last five questions. Holy shit.

You often feel overwhelmed. Strong disagree. You complete things methodically without skipping over any steps. Medium agree. You're very intrigued by things labeled as controversial. Lightly agree.

You sounded intrigued when I said the as controversial. Hmm. Lightly agree. You sounded intrigued when I said the word controversial. Who would, sorry, you would pass along a good opportunity if you thought someone else needed it more. Sure. I'll help a friend in need. Even if it's something you want.

Yeah. So, light agree? Medium agree? Strong. Medium. You struggle? Because I still want the shush. Get that kick back, you see. You struggle with deadlines? I don't think so. Strong disagree?

Medium disagree. No, I'll go strong. I can't remember the last time I was late on a deadline. You feel confident that things will work out for you. Pretty agree. Again, the state of the world is in constant decline, but me personally, I think I'm doing just fine. Right, so that medium, light, strong? Let's go medium.

Because at the same time, I'll be dead eventually. Yeah. And now it's time for your results. Oh my God, I'm fucking scared. It calls you an uncultured chicken dick loser. There's no way. Because you did the strong agree on the chicken dick. So it just slid that one right in there.

Okay. So you are, your personality type is logistician. Okay. That sounds about right. I-S-T-J-A. I is introvert. That makes sense to me. Yes, you're 71% introvert.

Yeah, I don't gain energy from parties. That's right. And speaking of energy, this trait shows where we direct our mental energy. You are not as intuitive as you are observant. 83% observant. No, I'm not intuitive. Thank you. You're not. Thank you, though. 83% observant. No, I'm sorry. You're not intuitive. Thank you.

Thank you, though. I appreciate the insight, but I'm actually really intuitive. Enough to know that this fucking test doesn't define me. What else does it say? It says that you are 53% thinking, 47% feeling. That's pretty right down the middle. Yeah, I would think I'm more thinking than feeling, but hey. And you are, but a little bit the algorithm says all tactics this trait uh reflects your

approach to work planning on and decision making uh you're mostly 53 judging 47 prospecting and your identity you are 94 assertive six percent turbulent what the heck is that 94 to six that's a huge disparity wow there's a lot of stuff to learn about this uh what's the 94 to six thing observant versus what um turbulent i know assertive versus versus turbulent i think that's like stoic and not getting unwavered. I think assertive is like you handle stuff. You're not like, you don't get frazzled. You don't get, you don't freak out.

Stressed. The logistician personality type is thought to be the most abundant, making up around 13% of the population. Their defining characteristics of integrity, practical logic, and tireless dedication to duty make logisticians a vital core to many families as well as organizations that uphold traditions rules and standards such as law offices regulatory bodies military and podcast networks there you go that's amazing military and pot the big two at the end right there. People with the logistician personality type enjoy taking responsibility for their actions and take pride in the work they do. When working towards a goal, logisticians hold back none of their time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience. Interesting. So I'm not like a frazzled artist who is very sensitive.

You lead a life of integrity. When logisticians say they're going to get something done, they do it, meeting their obligations no matter the personal cost, even with their slender little hencock. This is crazy. I think it's because you said yes to the chicken dick. If you go back and change that question,

I wonder if it doesn't necessarily bring up the hen cock logisticians have i actually got that on a hen do sharp fact-based minds prefer autonomy and self-sufficiency to reliance on someone or something that's that is interesting um you have a lot of dedication. There's a lot of this stuff. So let's go on to your strengths and weaknesses. Which I'm sure there are a lot of strengths and not necessarily enough weaknesses. And I get that. There's some famous logisticians out there.

You might be familiar with them. They are Sting. Mike Ditka and Galileo. Don't stand don't stand so nice denzel washington ever heard of him today's your training day officer hoyt angela merkel you know her you're just describing the hottest people i know. And Natalie freaking Portman. Also born in Israel, I think. Not to mention Anthony Hopkins, Condoleezza Rice, George H.W. Bush.

I'm from the USA, but I'm voting for Condoleezza Rice. Then they have some fake ones. Eddard Stark, that doesn't track. Hermione Granger. Yes, all mythical wizards. And Mr. Darcy of Pride and prejudice he's nice okay wow you also jason bourne but i wanted to be him okay you're honest and direct strong-willed and dutiful very

responsible calm and practical you create and enforce order and you're a jack of all trades but your weaknesses not really yeah sorry you haven't said them yet. Stubborn. I'm defensive, yeah. Stubborn. Sure. Insensitive. Well...

Always by the book. Depends on who you ask. Judgmental. Depends on the book. Often unreasonably blame themselves, and last but not least... I guess I could take on a little bit too much responsibility over the course of a day,

but I don't trust anybody else. You have a thin, slender... I don't think so about my cock. Penis of a chicken, but I don't trust anybody else. You have a thin, slender... I don't think so about my cock. Penis of a chicken. Your romantic relationships. Deeply committed. A reliable heart. Your friendships.

The gift of loyalty. Better together. Why are you taking fucking joy in these? together better together logisticians almost always have at least one intuitive oh going in their body in their inner circle that's me really this i am infj interesting despite the disconnect the two perspectives bring very interesting um okay let's get you to parenthood because i do think you deserve to be a father Despite the disconnect the two perspectives bring. Very interesting. Okay, let's get you to parenthood, because I do think you deserve to be a father. You will lead by principle.

At the very least, an uncle. And career paths. A steadfast mind. You obviously have a good career as a military officer, lawyer, judge, police officer, or a detective. Holy mackerel. How'd you like to be a detective? Imagine me as a private eye. Depends on the hours, but I'd consider it an open and shut case.

This quiz describes you, a logistician, as the backbone of society. So congratulations about that. Fair. Your workplace habits, you crave responsibility, which makes you the go-to subordinate for odds and ends and unpopular projects doesn't really track that's sort of you actually yeah you're an unpopular project really i'm responsible people like the company

fucking say that i think so oh logistician manager this is actually what you are logisticians love responsibility and the power resulting from it that doesn't sound like me yeah yeah colleagues no one can be trusted more to ensure that projects are finished on time and by the book than logisticians i don't think that's true about you either this got you wrong there i guess they had to ask me 70 more questions to really get to the root of that. Yeah. So in conclusion, few personality types are as practical and dedicated as logisticians known for their reliability and hard work.

Logisticians are good at creating and maintaining a secure and stable environment for themselves and their loved ones. Logisticians dedication is invaluable in many areas including their own personal results ladies and gentlemen the myers-briggs very very cool were there any of these questions that you think would you would answer completely opposite to me or was it like mostly in my realm um i think maybe not completely opposite but there are definitely some like group activities a lot of the theoretical stuff i like talking about i don't like talking about other people's art

necessarily but i do like talking about spiritual shit, but like astrology and stuff like that. Not, not that kind of spiritual shit. I kind of like talking about people's motivations and their wants and needs and their hopes and dreams. I like doing that. Like,

uh, almost like a therapist or something. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Um, yeah, but otherwise I think we're pretty dang similar but you're not quite a logistician no i'm not that's a very important member of any team i

think i'm enfj that's the one yes that's me enfj enfj a slash-J-A slash E-N-F-J-T. The T stands for the chicken dick. Extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging. That's my shit. Interesting. So close, but not, we're more of a compliment, but also close. I think so. Do you want to hear my strengths and weaknesses real quick?

Not really, just because I don't necessarily care. I'm receptive. I can kind of understand what people are wanting, and I can get into them. strengths and weaknesses real quick? Not really, just because I don't necessarily care about you. I'm more about wanting and I can get to them. I'm reliable. I have a to-do list. I'm reliable. You can depend on me.

I'm passionate, altruistic, and charismatic. And weakness-wise, it doesn't say I have any. That's insane. That's wild. There's no way that's a real test. One is unrealistic. I paid for the pro account so it says that you have no weaknesses unrealistic and oh oh i see over unrealistic overly idealistic

condescending intense and overly empathetic that really the weaknesses to me really ring true i am intense and i am overly empathetic. Yeah, okay. And you are actually overly pathetic too. And we are over time. And you'll take that back before we sign off. That was a joke. Or are you too stubborn, you fucking logistician? Call me the logistician.
