Came across this humorous "Test" via pA...

Be 101% honest with yourself...

BTW, I'm mostly D's and E's... :-) :-)

I got 2 of everything else

I, too, am a "builder" but I would not be a very testament to the accuracy of this 'test'. I have yet to complete any of the four kits I have started in the past four years. :-)

Mostly 'E's, but then there are a few of those questions where really I'd have preferred to choose none of the options listed!

You can also impress your fellow modeling club members by building a dozen kits per year .


I had to laugh a little when I read that. Because its so true. I don't care if everything is exact, and I think because of that I do build a lot. Crazy! By the way I am just a low down builder. Which is pretty good I guess, I mean I am building something at least. :-)

1 A
2 Bs
4 Cs
2 Ds
3 Es

So apparently I'm a historian with an inclination to build.

Another artist/builder here. I'd say it is a fairly accurate test!

But, but - but...

Question 9 is wrong!

E should read --The cheapest version plus the Picasso decals (same price as the kit) and also the da Vinci Full PE kit (twice the price of the kit) as most of us would do :-) :-) :-) .

Ah well, the 'Engineer' kind I am, with a touch of the 'Historian', now to just actually build some kits...

4A, 3B, 2C, 1D, 2E. So that's engineer, erring on the side of artist & everthing else? Or nothing, however the fancy takes you! My wife always says I would have been the first one off the Titanic if that's any help!

I've got a lot of E's there gang...

I've been trying to build/finish a kit a month all year and just might make it.

I've got little to show (read the Granitecon thread) but have had more fun these past 10 months than in the past 2 years.

I 've got 5 Bs and 3 Cs... so I'm an artist with historical tendancies... and the result is pretty close to what I am. Just take a look at my latest model and you will see!
Great test, thanks for sharing...
