Quiz: What Kind of Manager Are You?
[link|http://www.fortune.com/fortune/quizzes/careers/manager_quiz.html|http://www.fortune.c...manager_quiz.html]
Be honest!
Your final score: 24 of 30
Results:
You have a balanced view of what is within your control and what is not. Your responses to circumstances are fluid and complex, leaning toward internalism in some situations and externalism in others. You might, for instance, believe that much of what happens at work is under the control of others (external), but once you get home, your life is under your own control (internal)-or vice versa. (And some areas of life are beyond anyone's control: a major illness, an economic recession, a terrorist attack...). As a manager, you're able to adapt your approach to each individual case. Bear in mind that externals and internals need to be handled differently to achieve their best work

No need to take it.
I'm a bastard. I know I'm a bastard. I'm comfortable and balanced with my bastardliness. My inner bastard is emotionally nourished.
Quiz, schmiz.

27/30
You are an internal, that is, you believe your successes and failures at work are due to your own effort and ingenuity. You're a reliable self-starter, and you go for the things you want. (In your spare time, you tend to prefer games of skill, not chance.) In business, internals often make great leaders. The downside: When things go wrong, your first impulse is to take all the blame, even for circumstances outside of your control. "If your score is 27 to 30, try to lighten up," says Andrew N. Williams, author of How Do You Compare? 12 Simple Tests to Discover Hidden Truths About Your Personality\ufffdand Fascinating Facts About Everyone Else, from which this quiz is adapted. "You are not responsible for hurricanes and earthquakes. Sometimes things happen in life without your intervention." Intensely internal people, he adds, are better off working alone\ufffd"but if you must work with others, try to ease up on them." Have fun,
Carl Forde

Those Business Management classes are paying off. ;)
Oh BTW those of you who scored in the middle, have balance, etc, you have a good potential to be managers. Part of Organizational Management is giving control to the workers to make decisions that affect their workplace, also known as empowerment. You can adapt to the changing environment/business situations.

Same here.
And we are completely different. Not much can be said from 6 datapoints.
