Ego isn't the only thing common among programmers...
I just took a Programmer Personality Test based on the Myers-Briggs Personality Test on Doolwind's Game Coding Site after I read about it on Mads Kristensen's blog.
I have a DHTB (DHTL would be the correct acronym) personality. It's interesting to see an attempt to understanding and classifying programmer personalities. So kudos to the creator(s) of this test.
Here's the test result of my test for record purposes... since there is no option to save/publish on the site itself.
Test Results
Your programmer personality type is:
DHTB
You're a Doer.
You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better. After all, time is money.
You like coding at a High level.
The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs in the same way.
You work best in a Team.
A good group is better than the sum of it's parts. The only thing better than a genius programmer is a cohesive group of genius programmers.
You are a liBeral programmer.
Programming is a complex task and you should use white space and comments as freely as possible to help simplify the task. We're not writing on paper anymore so we can take up as much room as we need.
