Your TypeE quiz results :
Less
than 19 points: Probably not a TypeE. Best suited for
a regular 9-5 job. You're most likely steady at home and at work.
You are an invaluable resource to any company. You also get a
purple heart if you have to spend extended periods of time with
TypeEs.
20
- 23 points: Probably a TypeE Manager.
You’re a practical visionary who, unlike traditional managers,
won’t shy away from risk. In fact, if you don’t have
at least three failures for every one success, you feel that you’re
not pushing the risk envelope enough. You know how to get the
ball rolling and how to keep things on track. Action is your calling
card. Without you, dreams of success remain just that - dreams.
24 - 27 points: Most likely a TypeE Translator.
You’re a bilingual visionary who is a vital link between
the TypeE mystic and the TypeE manager. You excel in being able
to think and communicate in two very distinct styles - both globally
and linearly. It’s that extraordinary ability to take lofty
visions and bring them down to earth that makes you an invaluable
- and scarce - resource. Strategic planning wrapped in wisdom
and understanding is what you are known for. Without you, the
distance between a cutting-edge idea and realizing it is too great.
It’s like having a map with the starting and ending points,
but no route or vehicle to make the journey.
28 - 30 points: Undoubtedly a TypeE Mystic.
You’re a mystic visionary who operates so far outside the
box, you can’t remember where the box is most of the time.
With more than just your head in the clouds, it can be a challenge
to communicate your ideas and passions to most people. You’ve
also got the incredible gift of time travel - that is, the ability
to bring the vision of our world’s future into the present.
Without you, human experience would be an endless stream of mundane
routines, never reaching for the limitless possibilities that
you bring to the rest of us.
Whether
you are primarily a TypeE manager, translator or mystic, all three
aspects of the TypeE personality are alive and well inside you.
While some TypeEs can operate from all three modalities simultaneously,
there is usually one mode that you will feel most comfortable
with. This is the one you will find yourself utilizing most of
the time.
