Programmer Personality Test
This is an alright test. Here’s what I got.
Your programmer personality type is:
DLSC
You’re a Doer.
You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better. After all, time is money.You like coding at a Low level.
You’re from the old school of programming and believe that you should have an intimate relationship with the computer. You don’t mind juggling registers around and spending hours getting a 5% performance increase in an algorithm.You work best in a Solo situation.
The best way to program is by yourself. There’s no communication problems, you know every part of the code allowing you to write the best programs possible.You are a Conservative programmer.
The less code you write, the less chance there is of it containing a bug. You write short and to the point code that gets the job done efficiently.
The Low Level part is inaccurate. They made me choose between C and Java/.NET. I had no choice but C since the other 2 are lame. I should make a new quiz with more options.

There is a large community that believes that .Net and Java are lame and Ruby is not. The JRuby guys seem to like Java a bit, but they are a minority. In my opinion, Java is a pretty ugly language with all those classnames and gobbledygook. I’d have to use mono to do anything with .Net, and thats unacceptable. Ruby is the way to go.
