Your medieval job

[Zyada]

We did this just over a year ago. For those who did it then, the old thread is here if you want to compare.

I used to be a benevolent ruler, but apparently I’ve gotten less bossy in the past year.

[Turlough]

Yet another dreamer-minstrel checking in

Tried this a few months ago and I was a Black Knight.
Odd wonder whats changed

[Eonwe]

…Dreamer-Minstrel… how exciting.

[Zappo]

Discoverer, that’s me. . .but I wanted to be a Benevolent Ruler. All except for the “benevolent” part.

Yeah, that’s it. I’ll go discover some place where I can set myself up as Godhead and Ruler for Life!

Hey, I like this stuff!

Zap!

[Venoma]

Goo! I hearby challenge thee to a joust, thou foul blackened knight!

Gimme a while to find a horse or something. Yeesh. Aren’t these supposed to be supplied by the kingdom?

WHAT? You mean this ISN’T a government job? Well screw that. tosses down lance n walks off clankin Better off as a mercenary. At least there’s opportunity for advancement there. Plus, ya get all the wimmenfolk

[VenusProbe]

Another Dreamer-Minstrel here. Dang, I REALLY wanted to be an Evil Wizard!

[Bartman]

Considering all the techies on this board I can’t believe I am the first Engineer-Builder.

Your distinct personality, The Engineer-Builder might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to stick with the plan and get the job done. “If it ain’t broken don’t fix it.” is your motto. You provide structure and stability to your world. Your procedures are predictable and dependable. Your methods are proven and tested. You offer results not surprises. On the positive side, you are practical, just, realistic, pragmatic and rational. On the negative side, you may be dogmatic, rigid, short-sighted, indecisive, unimaginative and arrogant. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today’s corporate kingdoms.

All of my positive traits are right on the money but I don’t agree with all of my negative traits. I’m not unimaginative dammit!

[Jonathan_Chance]

I took this with some friends last year and got ‘Black Knight’.

But I must be climbing the ladder. Now I’m ‘Prime Minister’.

[KarlGrenze]

Dreamer-Minstrel

[JuanDeCuba]

I was the bishop, but I wanted to be a jester

[Anahita]

Dreamer…(I like to sleep)
and minstrel?!? I have negative musical talent…doesn’t make sense to me!

[dono]

Prime Minister.

Seemed at least as insightful as the Meyers-Briggs I took (yet again) a few weeks ago.

[KarlGrenze]

Is dreamer-minstrel the lowest medieval job position? Seems to be pretty common(no, not offending anyone, just wondering, since sometimes the most common job is the one at the bottom)

Maybe that’s because of the nature of the sample – we’re talking Dopers, here, and MPSIMSers, to boot.

Or it could be that there just aren’t enough privy cleaners around.

Zyada – thanks for the link to the earlier thread. Dang, th’ one time I didn’t do a search … Oh well. Hope folk still had fun.

[Steve_Wright]

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.

I, too, have seen this one before… last time I took it, I was a White Knight. But it seems I have blotted my escutcheon, for now it tells me I am… a Black Knight.

Right, then. If I’m a fallen paladin, I’m bloomin’ well going to act like one. You innocent virtuous maidens present yourselves for ravishment. Form an orderly queue.
(Please tell me there are some innocent virtuous maidens left in MPSIMS…)

[Grimace]

Another Prime Minister here.

And just how are the negatives of that, negative?

Bah, they’re wrong, it’s not! I’ll have to recommend that they be put in the dungeons. Just can’t find good help these days I tell you.

[Zyada]

Ice Wolf - don’t regret it. A year is a loooong time in MPSIMS history. It was interesting to me to see how I had changed since the last time it came around.

As for why Dreamer-Minstrels keep showing up, I would say we are the talkative, outgoing and warm types; just the sort you’d expect to see a lot of in MPSIMS.

[King_Rat]

Another White Knight checking in.

A Scientist. There weren’t many last time, either.

The Scientist is to subscribe completely to the scientific method. The data create the conclusion. To think about accumulating new data to prove an hypothesis could almost be considered a gross waste of time as there are so many new conclusions to be derived from the data already available. A more modern scientist in the field of criminology would be Sherlock Holmes. This professional sleuth always draws his conclusions from the available clues. On the positive side, you can be rationally imaginative and realistically perceptive. On the negative side, you can be nearsighted, narrow minded and rigid in your research methods.

Actually, I wanted to be a baker.
