My programmer personality is DLSB

After reading a blog post on pasz.com I decided to take the Doolwind's Programmer Personality Test and here are the results:

Your programmer personality type is: DLSB

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 liBeral programmer.
Programming is a complex task and you should use white space and comments as freely as possible to help simplify the task. We're not writing on paper anymore so we can take up as much room as we need.

Any other DLSB'ers out there?

Petra's Gravatar I have been in IT for 4 months and am also DLSB!! Probably explains why I have started my career writing time-saver utilities/scripts in bash after learning it by myself from a book :)

Still this personality test is a little obvious... it would be nice to know how to leverage this personality.
