Self Importance Test
Filed under: Asides | Tags: jason calacanis, online quiz | September 8th, 2007
Technosailor has an online self-importance test that tells you which “web celebrity” you are based on a few questions. I’m apparently a possible outcome but when I took the test myself I got “Jason Calacanis.” (100)
Chicken Girl | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:01 pm
Ha, that reminds me of the Lewis Black routine where he talks about the time he flew out to LA to audition to play a character based on him… and they hired someone else.
Rick Beckman | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:04 pm
Apparently, I’m you too.
Joshua Bryant | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:14 pm
Haha, I just took it and this: http://tinyurl.com/3arowe is what I got. Nice shot of you btw
Derek K. Miller | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:21 pm
I also turned up as Matt. Maybe there are more of him/us than he/we thought.
Anonymous | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:37 pm
Looks like I’m you also:
I can live with that.
Vijay | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:47 pm
I, apparently am Jason Calacanis as well.. Then I decided to click on random options and I ended up as you!
raincoaster | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:51 pm
Talk about self-important! I simply refuse to take that test until I’m a possible outcome.
Amateurs!
Anthony | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:53 pm
I’m Chris Pirillo. I like it.
raincoaster | September 8th, 2007 @ 10:54 pm
Actually, I lied. It says I’m Chris Pirillo. I think instead I’m his evil twin.
iRonnie | September 8th, 2007 @ 11:08 pm
lucky me! i beat you in ending up to be most like you.
Jeriko | September 8th, 2007 @ 11:12 pm
Rick that can’t be, because… I am Matt as well
Sean Yeomans | September 8th, 2007 @ 11:25 pm
You look a little like Hugh Grant in the result screen shot, Matt.
I too am apparently “You are most like Matt Mullenweg!”
Elaine Vigneault | September 8th, 2007 @ 11:28 pm
I’m you, also.
Matt G. | September 8th, 2007 @ 11:36 pm
Matt M,
I just took the test. It gave me this response:
You are most like Matt Mullenweg!
You are most like Matt Mullenweg. Though you recognize your authority, you do not relish the idea of using your power too aggressively. Instead, you rely on peers a lot. You do participate in the social media world, but it is not something that occupies a lot of time. You most likey devote yourself to projects that you feel passionate about and tend to evangelize those things quite a bit.
Man, do I feel awesome! After what you got after taking it maybe I’m not like you. Well, whatever the case is I thought it was interesting. Maybe, it’s the Matt thisng in this case.

Just took the test. The answer “You are most like Matt Mullenweg!” Hmmm.

Or the short story in which a physics professor discovered time travel, and brought William Shakespeare forward in time. The Bard proceeded to enroll in a Shakespeare class, and the Literature professor flunked him.

“You are most like Matt Mullenweg.” That’s kind of nifty. How’s THAT for a re-assurance of your self importance and/or celebrity status? The rest:
“Though you recognize your authority, you do not relish the idea of using your power too aggressively. Instead, you rely on peers a lot. You do participate in the social media world, but it is not something that occupies a lot of time. You most likey devote yourself to projects that you feel passionate about and tend to evangelize those things quite a bit.”
Fun times.

I’m either Chris Pirillo or you, Matt, depending on whether I claim that “meyerweb” is a use of my name for a domain. Which is weird, because I don’t see you two as being anything like similar.
Assenoff | September 9th, 2007 @ 7:42 am
Matt, it seems the test needs some fine tuning … I ended like Matthew Mullenweg. The correct answer should be opposite - that you are like me
Although my “celebrity” definition is still missing 
Drew Vogel | September 9th, 2007 @ 7:59 am
Is it possible that I am more “Matt” than Matt? Apparently so, if this test is to be believed!

You are most like Darren Rowse!
You are like Darren Rowse. You are relatively mild mannered, confident in how you operate and choose not to “rock the boat”. Your ego does not flair often. Instead, you choose to assist other bloggers as much as possible. In some cases, you may find it to be your mission in life. You do not participate in a large amount of social networking and if you do, you’re not particularly aggressive about “friending” people. To you, it is a waste of time that could be used for more productive things.
Jeffro2pt0 | September 9th, 2007 @ 12:09 pm
I am most like Darren Rowse.
Well, I’ll agree with the fact that I like to help other bloggers when I can. Just the other day, I was participating in the end of a podcast and ended up talking to two other bloggers for an hour, giving them some tips and tricks. I honestly don’t participate in many social networking services and I don’t turn everyone in the world into my friend. So it’s nice that I apparently have some of the same qualities as Darren, but will I ever make as much income as Darren? That’s the question I want to know.

I don’t know what you posers are up to, but the quiz clearly identified me as Matt Mullenweg.
Actually, if you strip away Matt’s name and go with the description, it fits me fairly well.
Except I would not have misspelled ‘likely.’

Or maybe using WordPress turns you INTO Matt M.

Sounds like I’m more like Eric Meyer than either Matt or Chris–my results also depend on whether my domain (in my case, webseitler.com) counts as my name!
Wow, I’m in some pretty cool company.
