I found a leader test at Similar Minds, since I quite like my result I'm posting it here. Who do you resemble?

What Famous Leader Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.com

If I'd got this result then I wouldn't have admitted it!

Urban sprinting

Wednesday 22 November, 2006 (Humor)

For all you developers who don't have a life; instead of sitting with your C# / Java SourceForge projects go out and play some sports. I have heard that many developers are fans of extreme sports so urban sprinting should be perfect for you...

Do we understand each other?

Tuesday 21 November, 2006 (Business | Humor)

Somasegar over at Microsoft posted a wonderful joke pointing out the differences between IT and business people - Hot Air Balloon story. Business people really have to learn to listen to IT before a decision is made and IT has to learn to understand business peoples vague problem definitions. On the other hand Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, was ranked as the 12th most influential management thinker alive for 2005 so maybe we techies have good reason not to take business people too seriously... ;-)
