Life is grand

I did the Pairwise Fitness Test for Y Combinator and am not too sure about the results. It is meant as a recruitment tool, for assessing your “fitness” for a certain working environment.

have a little more interest in technology

In comparison to the Y Combiantor guys? Wow, I’d be surprised if that were true.

base your decisions less on emotion/feeling/intuition

I’d disagree as almost daily I argue with other techies who go by numbers while I try to feel out users more.

prefer speaking less to individuals rather than to groups

Definitely not true. I have got better at speaking to groups but still far prefer a one on one.

like to read less

Judging by the pile of fiction I have swaying next to my bedside and that, if I could, I’d make a living out of reading, I don’t think so.

empathize with others a little less easily

Heck no. I let my empathy get in the way too much.

are a little less likely to be honest about stuff

Hmmm.

are a little less creative

Ouch. I really enjoy using Fireworks and Photoshop, am learning more about typography and graphic design each day, I was a photographer and I love to write. I also love being an ideas guy and not an implementer.

like a hot climate a little more

Hey, now that is true.

are less of a natural leader

And that is true too.

I think the test fails for me mainly because I went on the aesthetics of the images rather than the content. I imagine most people who took the test are techies and would look past the aesthetics to the content. I was a photographer once and still do it so aesthetics are important to me.
