Quote: DLSC You're a Doer. You like coding at a Low level. You work best in a Solo situation. You are a Conservative programmer.
that last one is interesting, considering the last few problems I needed help with were ones where I had about 40+ lines of code and somebody else said "hey! here's the same thing in, like 8 lines". -- |

Those were some of the worst questions I've ever seen. |

Doer, High language, Team, liBeral here... This could be a bit true... I'm the kind of guy who writes for other people. I'm used to program this way, as I've had some experience working on others' code, so I give my two cents for better code understanding :-). --- In the beginning, God said "light_source { <0, 0, 0> color White }" and light was created. |

Since the time I got decent at programming, once having - through self-learning - passed through the messy-garbage-writing-noob stage and the half-arsed-coder stage (during the time after first joining here, halfway through reaching the latter, I remember posting some admittedly WTF-level code), I have gradually become increasingly "conservative", as the test puts it. My code has become increasingly terse, with significantly less whitespace and comments, and at the same time, remaining (and even becoming more) clear (to me) and significantly more effective. I have also gone from sprinkling some C++ OO here and there to generally preferring to write in pure C, making use of evil (but most effective, not to mention beautiful) macros here and there. And I am developing an interest in assembly and techniques such as self-modifying code, in the sometimes halfway obsessive-compulsive search for squeezing out every bit of performance improvement there is to make. I seem to be turning into a grumpy young Real Programmer.

Those questions were idiotic. I mean, "who is a better programmer?". I've seen both raw talents and scholarship aces with programming skills so low it was insulting. The correct answer is "the one who programs better". "Which is the best way to program?". Why not "Prolog, because I just love logic", "Scheme, because I can turn it into any language I need", "Fortran, because I tend to use a lot of legacy code", or "COBOL, because I like being raped in the ass". The only freaking answer is "what's right for the task". "The perfect language..." does not and will not exist. If it's a scripting language for my game, definitely #1. If I'm coding the game itself, I'd rather take #2. "You've been given a task to do that will take one man month, how big is the optimal team?". Depending on how well the task can be split up into modules. Definitely not 1 person, but probably not as high as 5. Also, dependent on the actual deadlines we have, obviously. "Whitespace should be used sparringly or everywhere?". Err, what? The only language that allows to use it everywhere is Whitespace, and any task takes one man month in it That said, I'm a DHSB. Which is whatever. --------------------------- |

PLSB for me. Many of those questions I felt needed a third answer, because I didn't completely agree with one or the other. --- Kris Asick (Gemini) --- Kris Asick (Gemini) |

@Jakub: Did you even read the instructions? They clearly state that the final result doesn't only depend on your answers, but also on how you perceive the questions. -- |

Quote: They clearly state that the final result doesn't only depend on your answers, but also on how you perceive the questions. I'm just saying that those 5 questions (which is like, half of the test?) didn't have any answer that would come even close to what I would really answer to a question stated in that way. How do you expect the test to provide valid results in such a case? Anyway, in my eyes this test is akin (in terms of actual usefulness) to those "psychotest" things in magazines for teenage girls where you answer 10 questions and say "How wonderful, I have a romantic personality", or "OMG, my relationship is toxic". --------------------------- |

This probably true, you can get away with these sorts of tests provided you ask enough questions, but 12 certainly isn't enough.

. Anyway, I chose 'everywhere' because I assumed that was closer to what I do.
