What Type Are You?

Alice The Goon · #1 01-09-2010, 06:54 PM

Literally!

This website asks you four questions, in an amusing way I might add, and determines your typeface. I am Cooper Black Italic- something about being comfortable with my love handles! I like it- as the guy says, it's all gentle curves and no sharpness. It's nice. The password is character.

What font are you?

koeeoaddi · #2 01-09-2010, 07:14 PM

Dot effing Matrix?

I don't think so.

I can actually see that... just kidding. Did the description fit you?

koeeoaddi · #4 01-09-2010, 07:17 PM

Yes, actually. Not too far off.

Hometownboy · #5 01-09-2010, 07:33 PM

Plastica -- hmmm. Not really my type.

Shadow21 · #6 01-09-2010, 07:44 PM

Archer Hairline - outwardly composed, with small outbreaks of emotions and elegance.

Although, when I look at the actual font I go "ugh"

Me too — although I think it's a bit of a dated looking font but still the sentiments are nice.

Universal (eg boring).

Can't say I'm too happy about this. Damn virtual psychologists think they know everything!

Also Universal. I don't particularly like that font.

twickster · #10 01-09-2010, 08:13 PM

I don't wanna turn my speakers on.

Guess I'll never know.

Cat Whisperer · #11 01-09-2010, 08:18 PM

I am also Universal, and I also don't like that typeface. I also don't like this test - four questions taking 15 minutes, waiting for dude's crotch to get around to them already? Just let me read and click, please.

Alice The Goon · #12 01-09-2010, 08:19 PM

Sorry- it didn't take that long for me. I found the guy pretty neat, especially if you make him wait for an answer.

Rumor_Watkins · #13 01-09-2010, 08:19 PM

I keel getting "incorrect password"

what gives?

Alice The Goon · #16 01-09-2010, 08:22 PM

The word 'character' is the password.

Covered_In_Bees! · #17 01-09-2010, 08:24 PM

Jeez people. If you can't figure that out, I'm expecting you guys to get wingdings or something.

Ludy · #18 01-09-2010, 08:47 PM

Did you notice the hand on the shelf behind him is flipping you the bird. Or maybe it was just me.......

Justin Credible · #19 01-09-2010, 09:10 PM

Perpetua Titling Light. It looks like an eye chart.

nonacetone · #20 01-09-2010, 09:13 PM

I'm Pistilli Roman.

How are you supposed to know that?

After I put that in I get "you have answered these questions before". I don't get it.

Same here.

Because the OP said the password in the OP itself and twice more afterwards? I'm talking about people not understanding what the password was, I have no idea what you're talking about though.

cmyk · #24 01-09-2010, 10:38 PM

Another Universal here. I actually love that typeface, very bauhaus. And the description fit, vaguely, just like any of these sorts of things.

Hilarity N. Suze · #25 01-09-2010, 11:21 PM

Baskerville italic, and did the sound add anything? Cause I don't have sound...

elfkin477 · #26 01-09-2010, 11:22 PM

Courier.

Evidently I don't either. That's what I get for trying to do too many things at once.

MoodIndigo1 · #28 01-09-2010, 11:30 PM

I'm Bifur. I sense that I might not belong at the SDMB. I'm an only child and an orphan <sniff>

Skara_Brae · #29 01-09-2010, 11:42 PM

I am Marina Script. I believe in courtship, or something...

(I said I was disciplined for the last question. I would not normally call myself that, but he gave the example of saving the best chocolate in the box for last, and I always do that...)

Rhythmdvl · #30 01-10-2010, 12:06 AM

New Alphabet? WTF was that?

Anyone know why there's a password on it? To prevent hotlinking or something?

Maiira · #31 01-10-2010, 01:41 AM

Archer Hairline. I'm all modern and stuff.

Zoe · #32 01-10-2010, 02:08 AM

Archer Hairline -- I'm modern, and yet outwardly composed, with small outbreaks of emotions and elegance.

Wow. Didn't they nail me! Snort.

Actually, I love this font and have written my numbers this way for years. I need to find a copy of the font. I've never seen it before. It looks sort of Art Deco.

Lynn Bodoni · #33 01-10-2010, 03:05 AM

I'm Courier. And that test is defective, because it doesn't have Bodoni.

I am Birfur as well. I am forthright and one of the things I am forthright about is how many subtle and gentle ways there is to my forthrightness.

I saw it too. And I was wondering what the writing on the statue base was - 'cos it looked like it might be "inappropriate" too...

fifty-six · #36 01-10-2010, 04:06 AM

Bifur

Aspidistra · #37 01-10-2010, 04:28 AM

I'm another Universal. I actually rather like that font. Especially compared to some of the others (geez - Courier? What's psychologist-speak for "I'm about to tell you you have no character at all" - sorry Lynn

)

Anyway, the interesting thing was, I looked down the list of typefaces, and thought to myself "Baskerville Italic is nice. I wonder what personality type you have to be to be Baskerville Italic?"

It turns out you have to be just like Universal, except the one question I was unsure about (progressive vs traditional) I should have answered the other way.

So maybe there is something in it after all!

PookahMacPhellimey · #38 01-10-2010, 05:47 AM

Marina Script as well.

BTW, what accent is he speaking in?

Kal · #39 01-10-2010, 06:29 AM

Lettres Ornées.

Brynda · #40 01-10-2010, 06:30 AM

Fake accent, is my guess.

I am Cooper Black Italic, too. I thought the test itself was a hoot. "Come on, come on!"

Hyperelastic · #41 01-10-2010, 09:57 AM

New Alphabet, he says. But it's a horrible font.

If he had said Comic Sans, I'd have contemplated suicide.

There are only four yes-no questions, so there can only be 16 different types of people.

I think that means someone's already done the test using your same First/Last name. Just change it a little (or a lot, doesn't really matter) and try again.

Jennyrosity · #43 01-10-2010, 11:00 AM

Van Doesburg = obsessively fair-minded and belief in absolute equality, apparently!

KennerTheGreat · #44 01-10-2010, 11:05 AM

Another Universal here. Disappointed that Lucida Sans Unicode Italic isn't an option.

romansperson · #45 01-10-2010, 11:07 AM

I'm another Baskerville Italic. I used to work as a graphic artist and that font family was one of my favorites - elegant and very readable.

Tripler · #46 01-10-2010, 11:08 AM

It says I'm "Plastica," which is bullshit because I hate art deco, and apparently it doesn't exist.

F*ckin' decapitated internet virtual phychologists.

panache45 · #47 01-10-2010, 11:11 AM

New Alphabet. Hate it, hate it, HATE IT!!!

I wanna be Bifur. I have actually used Bifur, and that's what I really am.

What font are you?

Me, too! Emotional, assertive, progressive, relaxed.
