NSNA:Thanks. Your avatar looks intriguing. May assess it when I get a sec. |
[quote author=rita@NL link=topic=344383.msg4840611#msg4840611 date=1257097021]I dont really get the bolded part,wonder if you could explain to me in private please ? ![]() The rest you are 80% rite but how come you didntt tell me my flaws,I like it when ppl tell me my flaws too and lastly how come you didn't say anything about me marrying bill gate or dangote ? ![]() I talk am say this guy na witch-wizard [/quote]Explain in private . . .*Clears throat* ![]() I generally don't speak in flaws (negatives), you need to read inbetween the lines to see them. However, I will highlight some perceived shortcomings in your personality since you asked . . .(*Deleted*): [color=#000099]rita@NL - since you've read the feedback, I decided to delete this part 'cos it's pretty detailed. Hope you don't mind. [/color] |
stillwater:LOL! If I'd read your comments, I probably would be sounding more like your parent ![]() Seriously, I was true to the objective of the exercise; which is to use the avatars only. Yours was unusual - Legs! Hahahaaa However, as soon as I blew up your pix (that's one of my secrets), I began to see other subtle messages. Another secret to doing this is that I only obtain one or two central messages from each avatar, then I apply very basic Boolean Algebra, and bingo! |
posakosa:Hey posakosa! |
duduspace:Thanks, duduspace. |
1forall:You're welcome sir. Absent a proper Psychometric Test, where you answer 30-50 behavioural questions (depending on the testing brand), I can only be in the vicinity of the bulls eye most times, and strike a direct hit a few times. |
=== Username: spoilt Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=84117 Pix Summary: A cold, emotionless female, with hair pulled back and bonded at both ends, in a tactical gear, and combat-ready stance. She’s got a knapsack and a gun belt, both carrying flashbangs and hand grenades. Attached to the belt on both sides are single-strap-drop-leg-mount holsters with semi-automatic pistols. Her gear is 100% offensive, and 0% defensive – No helmet, no protective glasses, and no bullet-proof vest. What your pix says to me: You pay great attention to detail, plan ahead, and see ahead because you hate negative surprises; you want to be ready at the drop of the hat. You have a high tolerance for pressure and low tolerance for folks who cannot stand the heat. You have learned to persevere, to pull yourself up by your bootstrap, and pride yourself not in the laurels but in the challenges you overcame to earn them. For you, the process is more important than the prize. You believe the greatest form of defence is attack – There is no one you won’t take down if he/she betrays your trust, or oversteps the boundary you carved for them in your mind. “Turning the other cheek” for you means striking an ‘assailant’ TWICE – Conversely, it also means repaying in several folds the love/trust/confidence reposed in you. Communicating with fluidity is one of your strengths. Finally, you pride yourself at quickly and conclusively deciphering another person’s intention or motivations, and you act accordingly. === |

@Spoilt My assessment of you keeps getting deleted few seconds after posting. @Moderator Any idea what's going on? Wetin dey 'spoil' am? |

=== Username: Pweety4me Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=366830 Pix Summary: A lightly clad black female on a pedestal. She appears fascinated by a light source, has the back of her left hand above her temple (wrist tattooed) and a facial expression of astonishment (complete with mouth slightly agape). What your pix says to me: Some people may shy away from the spotlight, but you have a strong desire for pre-eminence and attention – You are the Queen Bee in your world, and it’s got to be all about you. Due to some reasons, expressing exactly how you feel or what you need is a tough job to pull off – Instead, you use more indirect/creative means e.g. jokes and innuendoes. You are also known for saying the exact opposite of what you truly want. Finally, you are easy to get along with, so long as you’re getting the much needed (and often unspoken) attention. === |
spoilt:Ah, consistency! My job is so much easier, which is good as I'm way past my bedtime I am not on Pacific Time like you (if you're in LA). On the bright side, we get to turn back the clock 2nite! Hurray!I'll post yours shortly, I have had a 'feel' for it for a while. |
spoilt:Your avatar struck me after just a few hours of joining NL - I must have have missed it when compiling my initial assessments. If 1 pix is worth 1,000 words, yours is worth 2,000! (I mean the dual images) I agree, it should be fun ![]() |
Pweety4me: You have definitely earned an assessment on my imaginary 'couch' - from just "passing jejely" to pouncing on most comments thereafter. Wait for it, here it come. . . |
=== Username: rita@NL Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=379442 Pix Summary: A lush meadow extending into higher elevations to the horizon. The sun is rising (or setting) considering its angle and intensity. The entire view is from the ‘safety’ of a shade provided by a tree. There is nothing but nature in the horizon. What your pix says to me: You are inclined to long term; the longer the time horizon, the better for you – You may miss out on short term opportunities though. Commitments rank high with you; you take yours seriously and expect everyone else to follow suit, sometimes to your disappointment. You are open and very trusting, and may have been burnt severally in the past. You fight your herd instinct, the pull that makes it easy for you to go with the flow because your trusted acquaintances are on board. You are a ‘bottom-line’ kind of person – There has got to be reward, with a capital R, for you to give your best. Risk-taking does not come naturally to you, and you try to fully hedge your bet, if compelled to make one. You do not judge a book by its cover, as you seek to believe the best in others, regardless of their veneer. === |
antartica:Why stop at sorcerers? Haven't you heard of the multi-billion dollar industry that deliver Myers-Briggs Personality Test (MBTI), DiSC, The Big-5 Personality Test, Enneagram, etc, oh wise one? Oh wait, they use White Magic! ![]() |
=== Username: 1forall Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=55858 Pix Summary: A series of basic equations, enabled by conjecture and substitutions. Each step is highlighted with a red box, as is the solution, which is scored, not by number, but by grade, an encircled A+ What your pix says to me: You have a very high regard for process and principles, as you strive to be ethical. Logic, sequence and progression form the bedrock of your enterprise. Since you shirk from dogma (following the crowd), you engage in things that make sense to you, not necessarily to everyone around you. You are wary, sceptical and even distrustful of people and situations you are unfamiliar with. You are egalitarian and relate well with people of classes. Though you have your eyes on the ultimate goal, you endeavour to celebrate instalment victories on the way to the finish line. Finally, you are willing to make tough personal changes to achieve success. === |
[quote author=frank3.16 link=topic=344383.msg4836111#msg4836111 date=1257008123]Username: canuck Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=366003 Pix Summary: a hand shown thrice; generally telling a short proverb:"if you cut stone with a sharp scissors it wil surely go blunt." The hands go in circular form, with "the rules" boldly writen in the middle of the circular diagram. Are you discribing Nigeria? What your pix says to me: You are a quiet guy, diffucult to understand and you like it that way. You dont talk as much as you write but a close observer can tell a lot from the little you say. you love hanging around people of both sex and allows your silence to make you the center of attraction. You enjoy attention, you silently crave for it but you don't allow this desire to affect you behaviour (you tend to be in control of it). Yo dont come out plain when you talk and are satified with the look of awe on your listeners face upon realizing what you actually meant. You like being in control but instead of coming out plain to fight for control, you simply relax and avoid anything that might make you not be in control. WOW!! am i not good? who's next?[/quote]Hahahahaaaaa . . . I didn't think it would take this long for someone to try to turn the table. . .No be so o ![]() |
=== Username: stillwater Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=152212 Pix Summary: *Clears throat because pix is not exactly in the mainstream of avatars* A hip-down view of an above-average height lady in high heels, standing on a hardwood floor. She strikes an awkward pose – Knees slightly bent as in a dance. In the background is a workstation and a green bottle of drink is on the table, and a hi-fi speaker is in the frame. Pix is captioned, “I take no prisoners!” What your pix says to me: You may take no prisoners, but the fragility of your heart does hold you a prisoner – However, at the same time, you are highly rational: Solution? You keep people at arm’s length, and you’re an expert in ‘long-distance’ friendship. Non-family folks may see you as detached and/or aloof, though you really do not have anything against anyone, just shielding your heart. You are brilliant at finding ways to unwind and chill out, some of which may not be 'mainstream'. Finally, being someone who is reserved and self-meditating, your username fits like a hand in glove – “Still waters run deeeeeeep!” === |
=== Username: kaypinchi Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=66323 Pix Summary: A faceless cartoon character in a yellow hard-hat waving (to auto traffic?) in a construction zone. He has one hand on a barrier and three construction cones at his feet. One of the cones is tipped over. What your pix says to me: You subscribe to the observation of Ray Kroc, the creator of modern day McDonald’s Restaurant, that “Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.” You may not have the full picture of an endeavour, or have answers to every ‘What if’ question, but you overcome inertia and start anyway. You seek to have a balanced life, methodically seeking distractions from the day-to-day grind. Though no vehicle is visible from the pix, your major diversion appear to be cars. You will not be described as bullish, as you are known to take precautions – ‘a belt and suspenders’ kind of person, though you realize you can't cover all the bases. === |
MrCrackles says of his assessment: Uhmmm not spot on on the psyche analysis but good attempt though. . . . The idea of the thread and your creativity is cracking though. . . Keep at it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hahahaa. . .Always having an eye out for wrinkles and calling them out; true to form ![]() |
posakosa:You are pretty insistent. OK, I am a fellow Naija living in Toronto, Canada. Without giving too much details, I advise senior executives of major corporations and business owners for a living. My hands are full, but, thanks to your persistence, I can take a look at your biz proposal and offer my advise pro bono. A KSF (key success factor) in what I do is to read people with the slightest trait they present before proffering complex designs for the organization to move forward. If you can't read 'em you can't lead 'em. BRB |
posakosa: Hahahahaa. . . You're funny ![]() |
=== Username: OAM4J Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=400880 Pix Summary: The swimming pool of a beach resort, with well-arranged pool chairs. Beyond the walls of the resort, there’s not much order. What your pix says to me: Of the much acclaimed Big-5 Dimensions of Personality espoused by Prof. Lewis R. Goldberg, you are off the charts on OPENNESS – You love to do NEW things and see NEW places. You are a host to a virus called The Travel Bug – And you try to infect people around you with the pleasurable experience of seeing, in your opinion, exotic places. You are the letter “C” in the word curious and you hardly believe information at the first contact – It’s got to pass your acute smell test. You give people the benefit of doubt. You are slow to judge and slower to change your mind once you judge. Unlike fellow NLer iice, you can’t handle abstractions – The imagery has got to be vivid for you to buy-in. Coming up with great ideas is your forte; seeing them through, well, that requires heavy lifting which you may struggle with. Finally, you spend time, more than average folks, in your own world reflecting on things. === |
=== Username: posakosa Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=303217 (Yep, no avatar - My only exception) ‘Pix’ Summary (In posakosa’s own words): "I wish I could live in a world where no one knows my name, so that even if I was to make a mistake or a deadly error, my name will still remain unknown and I could always start over in another world, and make the impact I've always wanted to make---still with no recognition of some sort." "I believe in the simplicity of my life" What your ‘pix’ says to me: You take the time to know what the rules of life are, then you set them aside and make up your very own! This gives a great deal of headache/frustration to people in authority in your life. You are definitely not the first child in your family – You are used to other people taking the shine and falling on the sword for decisions, though you contribute more than your fair share of the workload. You know you have a lot to give, but you perceive the world as unforgiving, so you wouldn’t even step up to the plate. You love to make people laugh, even if it means playing pranks on them. === |
posakosa:I think that`s her beautiful `black fairy`way of saying, `You got me there!` |
posakosa:OK, OK, I will do yours now, based on the insight you provided - Customer demand is really expanding the `product lines`to include an assessment of an assessment!!! Coming right up, posakosa. |
[quote author=Sammy107_d link=topic=344383.msg4833513#msg4833513 date=1256964533]Y'all wouldn't agree as much if he gave you negative 'truths'. It's like a horoscope: I see it all as a brilliant art of toying with your egos. If Gabry's assessment was switched with say 'accopen's, the pair, most likely, would have marveled at his 'psychic abilities', and concurred still. . .[/quote]Didn't believe it took 4 pages for the "horoscope"word to show up. . .LOL! Horoscope is BS - 6.8 billion people are grouped into 12 categories and generalizations are spewed out based on the location of 'venus' and 'saturn' ![]() This is, and I don't even have a name for this brand of psychometric analysis yet, based on an AVATAR selected by ONE person to be his or her IMAGE. It's just what comes to me when I see an avatar on NL. Stroking egos ke; yeah right. You need to read inbetween the lines to know that most of the assessments are mixed with areas of development. But human beings will always gravitate towards an encouraging word (though loaded with shortcomings they already know about) than a derogatory word (which means exactly the same thing). I choose to be encouraging than disparaging. It is a well-worn saying that a pix is worth a thousand words - Every word your avatar screams is about YOU. I am only listening up and paying attention. Nothing special. |
