Ray Dalio personality test (taken on 2024-05-16)

Samuel Shadrach

You are most like The Investigator

• Investigators are driven to research and analyze information and data to build knowledge and understanding. They tend to be logical and analytical, rigorous, and more reserved and thoughtful than outgoing and expressive.
• Typical Investigators are logical, systematic thinkers who excel at creating detailed analyses and proposing solutions consistent with their findings and conclusions. Accuracy and objectivity can often be their highest priority. They are keen thinkers who excel at identifying things that don't make sense. This extends to an ability to readily perceive flaws and mistakes and a willingness to call attention to them. They may be more introverted, which can lead them to state their observations and conclusions privately, and tend not to be overly emotional or expressive. They may prefer to work things out in their heads and only share ideas when they are more developed.
• Other distinguishing characteristics include a reliance on logic and a methodical and objective approach to making decisions. They have a knack for organizing and structuring analytical processes and conclusions. They tend to like puzzles and intellectual challenges and dig deep into subjects and details. They may prefer to work and reflect by themselves, and can find particular difficulty engaging with those who are highly emotional, or who don't explore things rationally. They are systematic in their decision-making and generally prefer not to take unnecessary risks.
• Investigators can tend to take things seriously and may not appreciate those who make light of important matters. Their reliance on logic can leave them perplexed when emotions enter the equation and they may find it difficult to express their own feelings openly. They may prefer not to initiate contact with people in general, instead keeping their social circle contained to the most important few, and even then they avoid being the center of people's attention
