Kingdom personality test
The type of manager test got me to find this one: [link|http://www.cmi-lmi.com/enterppp.html|http://www.cmi-lmi.com/enterppp.html] I answered truthfully, found out I am a Shepherd.
Your distinct personality, The Shepherd is to tend to your human flock. You understand the needs of those for whom you are responsible. Shepherds are vigilant and reliable. You realize your obligation and commitment to the well being of those entrusted to your care. Shepherds are very dependable. You engender a feeling of comfort and stability to those within your charge. On the positive side, Shepherds can be empathic, caring, understanding, practical and realistic. On the negative side, you may be manipulative, close-minded and sentimentally rigid. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

Minstrel...
Well, Dreamer - Minstrel.
Kinda funny that that it said I was 'positive' when I am often criticized for being too negative.

It is possible
that you may have a positive side as well as a negative one. Just look at me, I know I have both a positive and negative side. Hopefully the positives outweight the negatives.

I shall be the Prime Minister
Your distinct personality, The Prime Minister might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize. You will often only associate with those people who can assist you in the implementation of your plan. Inept assistants may be immediately discarded as excess baggage. To do otherwise could be seen as inefficient and illogical. On the positive side, you can be rationally idealistic and analytically ideological. You can be a bold decision maker and risk taker who can move society ahead by years instead of minutes. On the negative side, you may be unmerciful, impatient, impetuous and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

And here I had you labelled as a black knight
[link|http://www.cmi-lmi.com/bknight.html|http://www.cmi-lmi.com/bknight.html]
Your distinct personality, The Black Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to win. You approach each task or situation as a contest to be won strategically and efficiently. Because you can control your feelings, it is not unusual for you to charm, as well as successfully delegate tasks and responsibilities to the more emotional types. You are often concerned with what's in it for you. You seldom involve yourself in activities where you can not foresee a reward for your investment or effort. On the positive side, you can be analytically empathic and logically persuasive. On the negative side, you may be unemotionally manipulative as well as impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.
I don't think that it fits me, but dang if it doesn't fit my impression of you...
Cheers,
Ben

So sorry
I read the PM and it felt right.
But reading the BN also is pretty close.
These are not truly distinct personalities.
They need to show a range in the test. I bet there are areas where it might be 55% PM, 45% BN, so they show PM.
I see the differences though. BN can delegate tasks and responsibilities to the more emotional types. I would just discard them and replace them with people more logical. Maybe the BN doesn't mind wasting time dealing with their screwups. Maybe when he fixes the problems he binds them tigher to him, so he then uses them as cannon fodder when the really massive screwups come back to bite him. I KNOW a Black Night. I am not one, though.
I also am NEVER impulsive at work. Too much riding on every decision. So the canned desciption fails on both for me. There is difference making an informed decision, quickly, then being impulsive.
Couple of more things. The win at any cost is too short term. Too dangerous. Need more stability than that, w/ kids and house. So my more cautionary answers in company types (dot.com came last) probably knocked me out of the BN range.
As a PM, you are not responsible for the initial goal. But given a goal, you can map out all the high level tasks to get there. Which means strategic thinking. BN is more tactical. I can DO BN, and typically do BOTH, but my preferences indicate PM.

I still feel that it doesn't fit me
I ranked most of them in reverse (ie 4-3-2-1). But I valued stability. That one question didn't do it.
I would be curious to browse all of the personality types to see if any fit me better in my opinion.
[link|http://www.kingdomality.com/kingbrochure/pg1.htm|http://www.kingdomal...gbrochure/pg1.htm] indicates that there are 12 of them, but I don't know their names and therefore the URLs for the descriptions.
Ah well, just a stupid personality test with a cute theme. Not a big deal.
Cheers,
Ben

Guessing how this works....
Order 1-2-3-4 gives Doctor.
Order 1-3-2-4 gives Scientist.
Order 1-3-4-2 gives [link|http://www.cmi-lmi.com/engineer.html|Engineer-Builder] - the one that you don't have.
I'll stop there.
I'm guessing that where you place 1 and 2 determines which category you get. (There are 12 categories, and 12 choices of where to place 1 and 2. Coincidence?) But I'm not interested enough to enumerate the rest right now.
Cheers,
Ben

I just met another one
Sweet young thing who has the cubbie outside my office.
She's gorgious.
1/2 Filipino, 1/2 caucasion.
Asian features on a killer body.
With the occasional discrete tatoo.
She's a BN as well. Or at least a BN wannabe.
BNs can be bad for PMs if they work for the other
side. I'll have to watch out for her.

Bishop
Your distinct personality, The Bishop is to impose your own order upon the chaos that you find. Your most valuable talent is in giving ideas a reality base and in making the unreal seem real. On the positive side, you can be imaginative, realistic and idealistically pragmatic. On the negative side, Bishops may be devious, short-sighted and rigidly impractical. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. Devious and short-sighted? Nah, I'm devious and far-sighted. My plots may take months or years to come to fuition.

Doctor
By entering 1-2-3-4 to each of the questions I gain my MD! Your distinct personality, The Doctor might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your emotions and feelings are reality based. You are not misled with half formed ideas nor are you given to radical or high risk experimentation. You follow the tried and true and do not waste time thinking about things that cannot be seen, touched, heard, felt or smelled. On the positive side, you can become an exceptional expert in your particular area of the helping professions. You can deliver and maintain consistent and beneficial service to others. You do not lose sight of the reality of the situation and can usually control your own emotions. On the negative side, your emotions may want to be sensually satisfied which might lead to too much food, drink or other sensual pleasures. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

White knight
Eat death, you varlets. Oh, wait, that's not very white knightish. Your distinct personality, The White Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Don Quixote was a White Knight as was Joan of Arc, the Lone Ranger and Crusader Rabbit. As a White Knight you expect nothing in return for your good deeds. You are one of the true "Givers" of the world. You are the anonymous philanthropist who shares your wealth, your time and your life with others. To give, is its own reward and as a White Knight you seek no other. On the positive side you are merciful, sympathetic, helpful, giving and heroic. On the negative side you may be impulsively decisive, sentimental and misdirected. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. Brian Bronson
