One was either ninja or pirate &#8211; there were no inbetweens. One personality type was skilled and proficient, elegant and silent, contained and constrained, honourable and spiritual. The other type loud and flamboyant, gregarious and unrestrained, life-loving and vigorous, passionate and strong. I thought all people must pledge their allegiance, or be categorised accordingly.<br \/>\nThe other day at work, another binary pair was presented to me &#8211; a co-worker who doesn&#8217;t declare people pirate or ninja, but instead elf or dwarf. For him, humanity falls into doers and thinkers &#8211; elves being elegant and timeless, conceptual and refined, abstract and beautiful while dwarves are practical and structural, hard-working and no-nonsense, down-to-earth smiths and makers.<\/p>\n<p>Now we just need someone to do a Quizilla test for this.  I suspect I trend toward moderate ninja and slight elf.  <\/p>\n<p>Hmmmm &#8230; ninja elf.
