The "Benevolent Designer" 2006-05-11

Oh, I really love that title. According to the PersonalDNA test I am considered to be a "Benevolent Designer" and says this (among many other things) about my personality:

As a DESIGNER, you are receptive to ideas and experiences, and enjoy the beautiful things in life, yet you are also grounded and realistic about yourself and the world.

You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT

Too kind. It's also good that it suggests areas where I can improve my life, this one is especially striking since I tend to be too nurturing of those I love and forget to take care of myself:

Be as open to your own wishes as you are to those of others.

The point is, if you have two videos from a clean micro-chip factory with the video made by the same director you are bound to find similarities.
