[Kingdomality](http://www.cmi-lmi.com/kingdomality.html) is a quiz from a career development site, and is wordy, (and when it asked for my name and job description I lied, and didn’t give 'em my email) but might interest those out there with an inkling to what you might have been up to in days of yore. Me? Dreamer-Minstrel. [sub](I need to work on those snazzy intros …)[/sub] ---

Hmm. I’m supposed to be a benevolent ruler. . . That doesn’t make a lot of sense, at least the ruling part. ---

I, too, was a dreamer Minstrel. I was sure I would be a monk, or a scribe, which is more in line with what I actually do. ---

You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize. You will often only associate with those people who can assist you in the implementation of your plan. Inept assistants may be immediately discarded as excess baggage. To do otherwise could be seen as inefficient and illogical. On the positive side, you can be rationally idealistic and analytically ideological. You can be a bold decision maker and risk taker who can move society ahead by years instead of minutes. On the negative side, you may be unmerciful, impatient, arrogant, impetuous and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today’s corporate kingdoms. but i wanted **Evil Wizard** … ---

White Knight > [@](#): > > Your distinct personality, The White Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Don Quixote was a White Knight as was Joan of Arc, the Lone Ranger and Crusader Rabbit. As a White Knight you expect nothing in return for your good deeds. You are one of the true “Givers” of the world. You are the anonymous philanthropist who shares your wealth, your time and your life with others. To give, is its own reward and as a White Knight you seek no other. On the positive side you are merciful, sympathetic, helpful, giving and heroic. On the negative side you may be impulsively decisive, sentimental and misdirected. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today’s corporate kingdoms. Let’s see, Don Quixote was crazy as a loon. Joan d’Arc was burned at the stake at a young age. The Lone Ranger had to wear a mask, and was a racist (sending Tonto into town to find out the information, and get beat up). Crusader Rabbit is (AFAIK) a cartoon. Great company. (1 out of 4, Don Q) I “expect nothing in return for my … deeds” because I work for the government, which doesn’t appreciate anybody (and in the state of liddle brudder, Jeb-boy is getting rid of us as fast as he can). ---

I’m a doctor. > [@](#): > > Your distinct personality, The Doctor might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your emotions and feelings are reality based. You are not misled with half formed ideas nor are you given to radical or high risk experimentation. You follow the tried and true and do not waste time thinking about things that cannot be seen, touched, heard, felt or smelled. On the positive side, you can become an exceptional expert in your particular area of the helping professions. You can deliver and maintain consistent and beneficial service to others. You do not lose sight of the reality of the situation and can usually control your own emotions. On the negative side, your emotions must be sensually satisfied which could lead to self-abusive behavior with food, drink, other substances and/or sex. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today’s corporate kingdoms. It’s not entirely accurate, but interesting, anyway. ---

It says I’m a **Black Knight** : > [@](#): > > Your distinct personality, The Black Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to win. You approach each task or situation as a contest to be won strategically and efficiently. Because you can control your feelings, it is not unusual for you to charm, as well as successfully delegate tasks and responsibilities to the more emotional types. You are often concerned with what’s in it for you. You seldom involve yourself in activities where you can not foresee a reward for your investment or effort. On the positive side, you can be analytically empathic and logically persuasive. On the negative side, you may be unemotionally manipulative as well as arrogant, selfish and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today’s corporate kingdoms. …tis but a scratch! ---
