Seen here and there around the Interwebs, the Brutally Honest Personality Test<\/a>. It’s pretty much a standard Meyers-Briggs four-component personality test, except without all the happy touchy-feely crap talking up your positive qualities:<\/p>\n

It’s all about action with you, isn’t it? You’re outgoing and right to the point. Fast moving, fast talking and often fast spending. Your motto is “Just DO it.” <\/p>\n

See here<\/a> for a more typical description of my score.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it’s sort of amusing. The questions themselves have a slightly combative tone as well, which is cool. And if nothing else, it has clicky buttons, and if there’s anything I’ve found that people on the Internet like, it’s clicky buttons…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
