I'm pleased to say that I've got the results back from the personality test that all the members of the Community took. Now this is real science and neither some potty modern equivalent to bump-feeling and astrology, nor just somebody re-hashing the bleedin' obvious.
And this isn't some stupid Facebook quiz, designed to give you a three-minute frisson of excitement until you do another quiz and find out you're actually the exact opposite. Nor some chance for every would-be religious minister to get the wish-fulfilling result of the sensitive, tortured INFP they've always wanted to be and not the rampaging, thoughtless ESTJ they really are.
No, this is serious psychology, designed to determine how we can best build mission teams and leadership groups for the future. Which is why I don't have the slightest compunction about publishing the results.
Hnaef - (OED) - Obsessed with the pedantic correctness of words and their meaning, you spend your time in a haze of Old High German and Latinate cognates. You are so determined to ensure linguistic correctness that you've already noticed I mis-used the word "cognates". Your greatest danger is being beaten up with a thesaurus. Or possibly a book of synonyms.
Burton Dasset (Failed).
Marston Moretaine (MDF) - Thick as two short planks. Not two nice wooden planks. No. Two short planks made out of the off-cuts from chipboard, boiled up in solvent, pressed in a mould and used to display a collection of Jenga trophies. Your aura is a grimy polka-dot.
Young Keith (Jester/Defuser) Like the Juggler/Breaker and the Facilitator/Librarian, the Jester is a water-based personality type. Your job is to provide the release valve for a build-up of anti-leadership pressure. Broadly, by carrying out harmless but apparently disrespectful japes, you let people laugh without developing the kind of rebellious head of steam that could lead to the need for quick action with a Slazenger V400 cricket bat.
Daphne Hnaef (Iron Hand/Velvet Glove) - You have your husband well under control. Well done!
Badwolf (Sad) Your personality type leads you to have a deep romantic attachment to the character of Rose Tyler in Dr Who. Face it, you're middle-aged. Rose would never look at you. And she's been written out of the series*. You're living in the past and a dirty old man. The only solution is extensive therapy, at very reasonable rates, in the Beaker Aromatherapy Centre.
Edith Weston (Drip) - Believing that life is basically good, and that the stars are God's daisy chain, you have an optimistic personality and look for the best in everyone - even Drayton Parslow who doesn't actually have a best. Your perseverance can be quite remarkable. But then there's nothing more annoying than a persistent drip. Your chakra is just draining away.
Stacy Bushes (Chaotic/Good) You're a fun-loving girl who's not too fussy about where she gets the fun. Your ideal companion might well be a Sad sub-type. But not Badwolf. He's just weird and a bit scary.
Archdruid Eileen (INFP) - of course. Sensitive, creative and quiet.
*Except for when she comes back for endless specials, or episodes of Weakest Link.
