Chess pieces

Huh. Not being a chess player, I actually didn't know that each individual piece had an identifier, although I suppose I should have guessed. Neat. I'm kind of amused by this result, too... ( The chess piece meme )

memes, chess

I'm the Bishop's Clerk too! Actually, based on the questions, i'm pretty sure they're using a Meyer's-Brigg's test for this (i just took one in a career workshop... and then had to sit through the lengthy explanations of the categories... so it's on my mind.)

So that makes me wonder, have you taken the MBTI? If so, are you an ENFP too? :-)

Funny!

I've never officially taken the test. Various online quizzes and such have given me mostly ENTP or ENFP, but I often get some S sneaking in there. I'm guessing that must be a test-taking issue, though -- your overlap makes me think the ENFP is more likely. :)

OK, avant-garde and trendsetting I get, sensual I get, but... "usually peaceful and easygoing in nature. They usually adopt a 'live and let live' approach to life"?

Heh indeed. :)

In all my years of playing chess (which I do from time to time, but haven't done seriously since high school), I've never heard of the term "Bishop's Clerk." Though I do appreciate the conflation of chess with "Alice in Wonderland" imagery, as the chess set I have at home and played growing up is Alice in Wonderland in theme and sure enough the Madhatter is the pawn.

Oh, and for the record, I'm a King's Rook (Humpty Dumpty in both this quiz and my chess set).

Hmmm. Neither, it transpires, has Google -- except via this quiz. Suspicious...
