    I would imagine most any Ferrari aficiondo, and especially an owner, would be a talent by their definition.
    Yes, so am I

    Looks like I got Mandarin, whatever that is.

    It may have helped that I had only seen the movie Office Space in the list of movies.


    Talent: 51%
    Lifer: 15%
    Mandarin: 59%

    Here's an article discussing the terms:

    http://www.tomorrowland.us/entries/2005-04-03.html

    Mandarin is basically an education-based leadership class, i.e. they accumulate degrees and/or credentials and qualify themselves over time to work in long-established institutions or professions.

    Since a Mandarin can be a doctor/lawyer/consultant and a Lifer can be a Fortune 500 VP or CEO, then it wouldn't be just Talent that can do well enough to afford a Ferrari; but how each gets there differs.

    P.S. I was 60% talent, 50% mandarin and 15% lifer.

    Yes, but the Talent personality would far more be drawn to a Ferrari and what it symbolizes and provides than the other two types.
    They all can afford it, but the talent side of a personality will be the one motivated enough to get it.
