So, today I took the PDPWorks survey for my employer. The spiel is it’s going to tell me what my inner and outer selves are like and uncover everything from my leadership style to what color underwear looks best on me… (kidding about the underwear thing).
In any case, I tend to view these psychological thingymajigs with some degree of skepticism.
Well, at the end of asking you to rate a bunch of atttributes about how you view yourself and how you think others view you (or something like that), this thing spits out a long report that has a bunch of nifty graphs. The weird part?
It’s pretty damn accurate.
Some of the things it said:
- I’m dominant.
- I like people and being around them
- I communicate fluently and succinctly
- I’m driven and I like to pull people along with me
- I get really frustrated when process seems to get in the way of progress
And a lot more… but that’s the gist. It also says I should be successful at what I choose to do.
Maybe it’s time to work on Big Max…

That’s some freaky stuff. I wonder what mine would say.
“Thinks loafers should be outlawed.”
“Has severe issues with wet paper towels.”
“Can’t handle close proximity with stupid people.”
Probably wouldn’t be in my best interest to take that test…

No kidding. It’s pretty interesting, to be honest.
Wet paper towels, eh?

I agree that the PDP thing works well. I took it too and found out that I usually feel fat and sassy.
I, too, am deathly afraid of wet paper towels. Especially if the paper towels are armed with a lipstick tube.
