Which Techie Are You?

Tech Girls Full

  1. The Dancing Queen / King - when the tune is right, you stand up for some sick moves. Singing along is optional but highly encouraged.

  2. The Artsy - your desk might look a bit messy and there's definitely plenty of pens, colors, papers, and whatnot art supplies.

  3. The Cat Whisperer - maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the funny moving images on the screen, nobody knows for sure - but your desk is typically claimed by felines who will make sure you notice they're there.

  4. The Pack Leader - good boys / girls make sure you feel loved throughout the day; a snack or two and some belly rubs are expected in return.

  5. The Minimalist - not much to say or see, but things are certainly on the right spot?

  6. The Mom / Dad - your desk has a unique mix of random toys and maybe some lovely but at the same time awful hand-made mother day's gifts. There's also coffee, but it might be cold...

  7. The Tech Deeva - nail polish, hand cream, lipstick and lip balm... just the basics. Maybe you're a youtuber, maybe not, but you definitely know some tricks to look good in the camera.

  8. The Librarian - e-readers are boring, you prefer real books. Lots of them. Maybe you didn't read them all, but who cares? They are there for when you need them.

I am mostly number 2 and number 6, but sometimes I'm a 1 and a bit of a 7 as well! :)

9. The Mess - Workspace is a health hazard of stacked coke cans, coffee mugs, pop-tart wrappers, old mail, a handful of polyhedral dice, cables that are inexplicably tangled, two laptops stacked on top of each other, a LOTO lock that hasn't been picked yet, waterproof medical tape?, several face masks, two usb hubs that aren't plugged into anything, a bolt.

I'm definitely a number 5! I like having extra space to move stuff around. My shelves under my my desk on the other hand are 2, 7, 8.

I am number -0, the irrational unsleeper.

The emptied teacups, entire boxes of office snacks, fans, stained graph paper, and freeze packs belying the habits of the cerberus of the dark portals of the nether-internet, and his nigh-eternal wakefulness.

I see you, minimalist :) but with those big speakers, there must be a dancing king in you. Did I get it right? :D

1 - Sometimes I take coding breaks purely because the song I'm listening to needs my full attention.

2 - When I'm not coding, I'm trying to improve on my drawing skills.

5 - When it comes to my work desk, I try to have only the essentials on it. True story: in one of my office jobs after I went home for the day, one of my colleagues was asked by someone in another department if I quit the company because my desk was spotless and had really nothing personal on it.

8 - I still like reading physical books and my room is full of bookshelves.
