I'm not such a big fan of this kind of tests usually, but since this one has been taken by a dependable guy, I thought I would give it a shot.

And I came out with this:

INFP - "Questor". High capacity for caring. Calm and pleasant face to the world. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 4.4% of total population.

Questor? Let's see. Like in:

1 a : any of various Roman officials in charge of public monies (as a treasurer of state or paymaster of troops)

In charge of public money? Hmm, very unlikely: incompatible with the "high sense of honor" bit.

b : a public judge or prosecutor in a criminal trial in early Rome

Sounds great. Give me the case and I'll fix that.
I'm gonna fry that bastard. Calmly and with lots of care.

2 [Middle English questor, from Medieval Latin, from Latin quaestor] : an agent of a pope or bishop appointed formerly as a public preacher, charged with the mission of collecting alms, and authorized to grant indulgences to those contributing.

"Formerly a public preacher charged with the mission of collecting alms." Well you course. What the hell do you think this blog is about?

The tip jar is in the left column. Please wait in line for your indulgence.

Well, well, well, all of this lacks the "caring capacity" part. So let's see, Questor and high capacity for caring?

The Knight-Errant, often referred to as the Questor or Knight, goes about in search of adventure and helping those in need. They often go to the aid of those requesting help so long as the cause is one they see as just. They also often take 'quests' in the honor of one they hold in high esteem. (...)The Knight-Errant is generally a local hero who, though he holds those values considered worthy by the Knighthood he has been born into the wrong caste in society or detests the ways in which the Knights behave at court.

My darn spitting image, innit?

"Calm and pleasant face to the world", as any regular reader of this blog will confirm (And they'd better confirm. Else, I can foretell a sudden increase of the death rate among regular readers of this blog. Calmly and with lots of care.)

"High sense of honor derived from internal value". Well I would confirm that, but I'm certainly not bragging about it.

This is not Camelot and the Round Table. From experience, I'd say that in this world, the sense of honor is much more a handicap than a value.

But again, maybe I'm just talking about XXIst century France here.

Je ne suis pas un gros fan de ce genre de tests habituellement, mais considérant que celui là a été tenté par un mec fiable, je me suis dit que je pouvais m'y essayer.

Et voilà avec quoi je me retrouve :

INFP - "Questeur". Grande capacité de sollicitude. Une figure calme et plaisante envers le monde. Grand sens de l'honneur dérivé de valeurs intérieures. 4.4% du total de la population.

Questeur? Voyons voir. Comme dans :

1 a : l'un des divers officiels romains en charge des finances publiques (tel un trésorier de l'Etat ou des troupes)

En charge des finances publiques ? Hmm, très peu probable : incompatible avec la partie "grand sens de l'honneur".

b : un juge ou un procureur public dans un procès criminel de la Rome antique

Semble pas mal. Attribuez moi l'affaire et je corrige ça.
Je vais frire ce salaud. Calmement et avec beaucoup de sollicitude.

2 [Moyen Anglais questor, du Latin Médiéval, du Latin quaestor] : un agent d'un pape ou d'un évêque précédemment nommé comme prêcheur public, chargé de la mission de collecter des aumônes et autorisé à accorder des indulgences aux contributeurs.

"précédemment nommé comme prêcheur public, chargé de la mission de collecter des aumônes." Mais bien entendu. A quoi diable croyez vous que ce site soit destiné ?

La sébile est dans la colonne de gauche. Merci de faire la queue pour recevoir votre indulgence.

Bien, bien, bien, tout ceci ne couvre guère la partie "capacité de sollicitude". Alors voyons ça, Questor et grande capacité de sollicitude ?

Le Chevalier Errant, souvent désigné par 'Questor' ou Chevalier, erre en quête d'aventure et pour aider ceux qui se trouvent dans le besoin. Ils viennent souvent à la rescousse de ceux qui réclament de l'aide dès lors que leur cause est de celles qu'ils considèrent comme juste. De plus, ils acceptent souvent des 'quêtes' en l'honneur de ceux qu'ils tiennent en haute estime. (...)Le Chevalier Errant est généralement un héro local qui, bien qu'il détienne les valeurs considérées comme digne par la Chevalerie, est né dans la mauvaise caste de la société ou déteste les manières avec lesquelles se comportent les Chevaliers à la cour.

Mon portrait tout craché, s'pas?

"Une figure calme et plaisante envers le monde", ainsi que tout lecteur régulier de ce blog le confirmera. (Et ils ont plutôt intérêt. Sinon, je prédis une augmentation soudaine du taux de décès parmi les lecteurs réguliers de ce blog. Calmement et avec beaucoup de sollicitude.)

"Haut sens de l'honneur dérivé de valeurs intérieures". Bon, j'aurai tendance à confirmer ça, mais pas à m'en vanter.

Ce n'est pas Camelot et la Table Ronde. D'expérience, je serai tenté de dire qu'en ce monde, le sens de l'honneur est bien plus un handicap qu'un atout.

Cela dit, peut être que je ne parle que de la France du XXIème siècle ici.

Not a very good MBTI test, but decent. There are better ones out there, but they will require more time. A TRUE MBTI test will take a couple of hours and is very accurate.

ENTP - "Inventor". Enthusiastic interest in everything and always sensitive to possibilities. Non-conformist and innovative. 3.2% pop. I once had an associate/employee who'd sworn by these analyses... I could never tell him what I was, though he had some ideas :) FWIW, it seems pretty accurate considering the line of work I'm in and how I approach it... -Vic

I don't have a link. I could probably find one that's a little better, but a *real* test will probably cost you money. There are several companies out there that do that sort of thing for companies and whatnot. There are also several books you can buy that have good tests in them. :)

"artisan" - that a fine sounding word for bum. I flunked scribbling in Kindergarden, artisan? Fie , piff , and fiddle faddle. I was hoping for something cool like "Warmonger" or "Spearfisherman"
