I was making an application to be a trialist for Starhub upcoming i-mode services. i-mode is very hot in Japan, something like a successful version of WAP.
Now the procedure is that I have to answer quite a number of questions, most of which I can't see the relevance during the application.
Thus it surprises me that some of the questions are actually meant to decipher more about me in terms of my personality.
Now I love to participate in all these to know more about myself. But I normally do it voluntarily. Knowing that a profit oriented business just did one(unknowingly) on me with the possible mentality to market more specific to me doesn't gel well.

Life discerning dominant ideal seeker
You understand that new does not always mean better and you see no reason to skip from one fad to the next. You value things that have stood the test of time, things that have proved themselves. You can give a 120% when you need to, but know that you don't need to 100% of the time. You know that life is for living, and you're smart enough to make sure that you have time to relax, chill and just be yourself.
You tend to identify more strongly with your own thoughts than any other personality. To others you are the one with the sharp intellect, strong need for independence and privacy, and intensity of your cerebral interests. You love explaining the world and predicting what it will do next. This derives partly from natural curiosity, and partly because you sense much of the world to be unreliable, requiring that you use your intellect to bring order to your own corner of it.
You have a strong desire to investigate, observe, and understand an issue deeply and provocatively. You are often independent and self-motivated, with a strong need for privacy. For example, others will often have no idea what you have been working on until it is finished and unveiled. Some of the greatest minds in history had similar traits, people whose ideas challenged the conventional wisdom, forcing those around them to think differently.
Famous people who share these traits include:
William Rhenquist, Stephen Hawking, Helen Keller, Arthur C. Clarke,Sigmund Freud, Nikola Tesla, Isaac Newton."
