Thanks for the link. Nice.

I've been formulating a self test to determine my psychological profile. The test revolves around two simple concepts. I'm just putting it out there because the linked post and the associated comments revealed people and attitudes that fit squarely in one or more areas of this profile.

Here it goes:

The more I know the more I accomplish (optimist)

The more I know the less I accomplish (pessimist)

The less I know the more I accomplish (apologist)

The less I know the less I accomplish (realist)

The more I accomplish the more I know (empirist)

The more I accomplish the less I know (cynic)

The less I accomplish the more I know (delusional)

The less I accomplish the less I know (depressed)


Based on this test I have determined that personally I am: A delusional cynic who is also a realistic optimist, a depressed apologist and a pessimistic empirist. So with THAT kind of profile it is extremely hard to comment on anything, at least coherently.
