This is hilarious!

I'm ranked first in:

  Cheerfulness   (Before or after morning coffee?)
  Orderliness    (Because of my 3rd normal form sock drawer?)
  Gregariousness (Before of after my 3rd beer?)
  Agreeableness  (I disagree! Watson needs debugging.)
I'm ranked dead last in:

  Imagination (No one I know could imagine how this could be.)
  Authority-challenging (My teachers & bosses would disagree.)
  Intellect (Before or after my mother dropped me on my head?)


This could make a good movie plot. The all powerful AI analyses your characteristics, gets it all wrong and assigns you to the wrong line of work (Harry Potter?) :)


Master short story scifi writer Sheckley, R. has this covered:

Bad Medicine

This happens in the pilot episode of Futurama.


I thought the joke was that the AI was completely correct.


Sounds more like Divergent. Gah, can't believe I know that.


Is this funny/good (movie plot)/interesting, or scary?


Intellect (Before or after my mother dropped me on my head?)

In other words, you are ranked 148th out of like 100k really smart people.

So, maybe quitcherbitchin? :-)

Its not a top by category ranking of all HN posters, there's a merged list of top commenters and leaders, and then the ranking is from that. Being on the bottom of that (as I am for agreeability) doesn't mean you are still ahead of everyone on HN that didn't make the list.


You are being pedantic. I am being sort of humorous.

I think the main gist of my point stands though: Ranking dead last on this list hardly equates to "dropped on your head." That's like saying "I only won one of the less important Nobel Prizes. God, I'm such a loser." Or something.

I like edw. I like a lot of people here. But sometimes folks here really suffer from tunnel vision in a bad way.

Cheers.


Ha, indeed. :-)

Watson didn't even remotely consider me. What do I have to do to get its attention?!
