Hells Bells, I'm Tony Blair née Gordon Brown

So having done the previous test (hence the 'Hells Bells' line), I'm now addicted, [sigh].

There's a site called kingdomality which purports to be a translation of the old medieval trades, occupations and crafts to the modern day. I had the link hanging around from an email about 6 months ago, but hadn't ever actually tried it. It turns out I'm the Prime Minister - maybe not so different from the previous test after all (whoops, just a little political there...)

Hmm, I wonder what the impact of having this sort of information up on the web, and associated with me, will be. I guess I'll just have to keep my job - I'm not sure I'd want to just donate this sort of information (however accurate or inaccurate it may be) to a hiring manager... They are personality profiles after all. I'm not an egotistical maniac, honest [grin]

"Your distinct personality, The Prime Minister might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize. You will often only associate with those people who can assist you in the implementation of your plan. Inept assistants may be immediately discarded as excess baggage. To do otherwise could be seen as inefficient and illogical. On the positive side, you can be rationally idealistic and analytically ideological. You can be a bold decision maker and risk taker who can move society ahead by years instead of minutes. On the negative side, you may be unmerciful, impatient, impetuous and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms."

Fear me


So, I don't do these "internet test" things as a rule - but what can I say, I was bored and there wasn't anything on TV [grin]. I came across a link to a tarot-test, and clicked it, answered the (surprisingly few) questions, and it turns out that


I am The Devil


This came as a bit of a shock.

Fortunately there was some explanatory text to go along with this rather cruelly (at least IMHO) declarative judgement:


Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession. The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.


I've always thought I had a way with words; I can turn a pretty sentence when I feel like, and I habitually alter my cadence and tone when making a case in a discussion/argument. In fact my closest friend often complains that I always come across as believable, even when I'm wrong. It's not something I do on purpose, it's just that I (obviously, otherwise I'd not be making the argument) think I'm right, and that belief leaks over into my presentation of my case automatically. I may not be Steve Jobs, but I think I can project a small RDF[1] :-) 'The Devil' is a little judgemental, though [grin]

If you want to be similarly categorised, the test is over here.
