ExiledInIllinois Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 My wife scored a 65. Yes, is a public library director... But total problem solver. Turned around an organization that was dying on the vine and took the library into 21st Century. Cleaned out old guard kicking and screaming into tech, etc... She is also a dreamer too. Head in clouds but, firmly standing on the ground. From Lackawanna... Live rust still in her veins. You would never think of her managing so many people and so well with all the crazy success stories she and others accomplished. It's a myth that dreamers can't lead, be problem solvers. And had to do it in a poor, working class, diverse community where she is the minority.

Maybe you can get one too. Thanx Capt. Obvious. You're just an IT Guy, not a cop. Have some empathy. FWIW... My son is a STEM guy... Honors program, Bio engineering @ U of Iowa... He scored a 16/80. He was blatantly honest too. Son of two bleeding heart libs. My wife refuses to relate it to STEM and calls him STEA(rt)M based... Just needs a little work on his artist self. LMAO!

Augie Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I took it again and soared from a 50 to......51. I think part of it may be how comfortable giving extreme answers. I hate “always” or “never”. I wonder what would happen if you remove the middle columns. How much has to do with how “cautious” you are in answering questions like that.

It was you. No doubt in my mind it wasn't a joke. Anybody else yes, I may given a double take. My self-absorded son cranks a 16. You gotta be hardened being a son of a cop. My godfather was a cop. Stories and selfless service does harden people, especially offspring. No doubt if he was my real father my score would have lowered drastically. That's not a reflection on your dad, he can score an 80. There is a little truth with the notion that problem solvers have lower empathy. Empathy is over-rated though. Test is over simplified. Empathy can change quickly. Just another stupid test. Edited May 31, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois

And you can’t make me not believe that! ? And maybe I just hate people too..... Edited May 31, 2018 by Augie
