NSFW Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The Lipson-Shiu Corporate Type Test http://www.andrewlipson.com/lstest.html There are a number of well-known systems for classifying people's personalities according to various measures such as introversion-extroversion, and organisations often use these schemes to categorize their staff. Unfortunately, such methods do not capture a number of the most important aspects of an individual within an organisation; any corporate employee knows that whether someone is (for example) extroverted or introverted is much less critical than (say) how important they are. The Lipson-Shiu test attempts to remedy this and other oversights by classifying along four alternative axes: Intelligent-StupidLawful-ChaoticImportant-UnimportantGood-Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 ICIE (Torturer) A sadistic type who, rather than building an evil empire (though that may be a fringe benefit), devotes their time and considerable talents to making the world as unpleasant as possible. Often found in charge of human resources or very very large software companies. I kinda think HR would be an interesting route to take... I do actually work for a software company though, hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living Legacy Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Not that I needed this to tell me... ILUG (Mensch) The I LUG is that rarest of underlings: the one whom you can trust to understand what you're telling them and then rely on to get the job done. In any organisation, these are the people who actually do the work. (example: Florence Nightingale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hahaha... more accurate than I would have guessed! ICUG (Inventor) The ICUG is given to solitude and shoe staring. He or she loves little puzzles and is often a good source of off-the-wall, innovative ideas. Best left to their own devices with only occasional steering (example: Leonardo da Vinci) The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gelfling68 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 SCIE (Natural Distaster) The exact form of the problems that arise from the SCIE are hard to predict, since even the SCIE doesn't know. The SCIE is able to generate random acts of cruelty without effort or intention. Just stay out of their way and try to find shelter (Example: Cthulhu) Flee before me....hahahahahahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 ICUE (Mad Scientist/Hacker) Displaying many of the same traits as the ICUG, the I CUE combines these with a dangerously antisocial streak. May employ someone called Igor and mutter things like "Small minded fools! I'll show them all!" (example: Victor Frankenstein) Hey ..... I'm not antisocial. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest heightsgtltd Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 ILIE, but I think it has to do with me choosing Darth Vader as my favorite Star Wars character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 ILIE (Grand Vizier) The I LIE has probably carved a ruthless trail to the top, but left no evidence of it. At least, if you find the bodies you're in very bad trouble. Highly adept at serving their own ends, I LIEs are not people to be on the wrong side of. Here is someone who has made the system work for them (examples: Sir Humphrey, Lex Luthor). Bwahahahahahhahahahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Me and Pengy got the same type? There definitely has to be something wrong with the algorithm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Me and Pengy got the same type? There definitely has to be something wrong with the algorithm It was a difficult choice on a few of the questions like working over people that displease me by myself, or delegating those duties to others.
