What type of developer are you?

I was just reading Daniel’s blog (in Danish) and saw that he had been taking a what-type-of-developer-are-you test. So I took the test and this is the result. It turns out that I’m a PHTC type.

PHTC

You're a Planner.
You may be slow, but you'll usually find the best solution. If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

You like coding at a High level.
The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs in the same way.

You work best in a Team.
A good group is better than the sum of it's parts. The only thing better than a genius programmer is a cohesive group of genius programmers.

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.

Take the test here.

I really don't like that the C stands for conservative. Pragmatic would be a better fit.

Perspective

I’m not sure how scientific the test is, but it raises a good question about the people you hire to work for or with you. Often you go through some kind of personality test at the first job interview, but they don’t cover how you code. To have a dynamic team you need to have different kinds of developers. You need the thinkers, the coders, the architects, the managers etc.

This is the first test I’ve seen that tries to label the different types of developers. It would be great to see a real scientific one that covers it all. That would make a huge difference in the people you would hire in order to create the ultimate dynamic team.
