What am I like? Here's what professionals had to say:
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Here are the results and interpretations of how you best like to think, work and relate. This information is designed to help you better understand your ideal job culture. Use these results to help identify job opportunities and environments where you will thrive!

THINKING

  • You probably prefer a job that allows some innovative thinking and originality rather than just implementing or executing the ideas of other people. This might involve the development or improvement of processes or products and would value 'thinking out of the box'.
  • Rather than specializing in a specific area, you want to be knowledgeable about a variety of topics, or involved in a number of different types and tasks. You will probably be happiest in jobs where you must know (or learn to know) something about many things and where the job requrements are varied and frequently changing.
  • You tend to think about things in an objective manner. In all likelihood you will prefer a job that requires you to rely on the facts and make judgements based on data.

WORKING

  • You appear to really enjoy working in new and unknown areas. Look for a job where you are challenged to adapt to new things or make frequent shifts in priorities or changes in direction.
  • You will probably prefer a job that requires a thoughtful and organized approach to completing work tasks. Look for jobs that allow you some time to analyze information and develop a plan before taking action.
  • You are adventurous, willing to try new things, and likely to be comfortable taking risks. You should be comfortable in a job that requires that you take chances, make decisions without all of the information, or try things that have yet to be tested/proven.

RELATING

  • You appear to have a persuasive, assertive approach in dealing with people. You are likely to prefer jobs where you can express your opinion and influence others. Working in an environment where people are direct and frank is important to you. You will be happiest in a job when you can be direct and forthright with other people and they will be the same with you.
  • You tend to be guarded in your view of people and may have difficulty trusting others. You may be best in jobs where your skepticism is an asset like those in which people or resources must be closely monitored.
  • You prefer working independently. You would probably enjoy a job in which you could get things accomplished on your own without lots of meetings or close collaboration with others.



... a few nice letters:
Will it scale?
I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all of you for the work done on the CBFE SUN benchmark.

The work was done with priority, with quality, with a true sense of partnership ... and with great results.

I know that the timeline was tight and pressure was high - but the focus and determination of all parties was always evident.

Thanks for playing a key part in finally closing down the "will it scale" concerns !! Thanks for being part of moving CBFE forward and being part of its success.

Linda Dentay, VP
CIBC Retail Banking, 2003

Flying colours...
Hi Nash
I did speak with Keith Veira after our conversation and he confirmed that you have met all obligations with flying colours. Let me add that I was quite pleased that you came along as the documentation / completeness was in extremely poor shape and your professionalism and your resolve ensured that we made it past the politics and produced a deliverable(s) that was of very high quality.
Again, many thanks.

Great idea...

Question- I have been working on a nuclear waste awareness page, and your skeleton script seems attractive, I am somewhat new to JavaScript, and would find it difficult at the moment to code my own working version, so, I am writing to ask, may I use your src JS to build off of? "

Timothy Miltz

Timely...
"I happened to read your nice, interesting article published in Web Techniques, Aug 97.

Really you have explored a novel and sophisticated technique to generate the InterNoteBook.

May I request you to help us to try your technique? Any possibility of downloading your application with your good wishes taken for granted.

It will eliminate hard coding on our part. Moreover, we don't have the relevant GIF files also.

Thanks a lot for your timely suggestion. We are going in heavily for frames incorporation in our Intranet projects. "
