All about an Engineer

All about an Engineer

Engineer Identification Test

You walk into a room and notice that a picture is hanging crooked. You ...

A. Straighten it.
B. Ignore it.

C. Buy a CAD system and spend the next six months designing a solar-powered, self-adjusting picture frame while often stating aloud your belief that the inventor of the nail was a total moron.

The correct answer is "C," but partial credit can be given to anyone who writes "It depends" in the margin of the test or simply blames the whole stupid thing on marketing.


Social Skills

* Get it over with as soon as possible
* Avoid getting invited to something unpleasant
* Demonstrate mental superiority and mastery of all subjects


Fascination with Gadgets

To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of
two categories:

1. Things that need to be fixed
2. Things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them.

Fashion and Appearance

Engineers are generally satisfied with their clothing if basic thresholds for temperature and decency have been satisfied.

Dating and Social Life

Dating is never easy for engineers. Engineers are incapable of placing appearance above function. Fortunately, engineers have an ace in the hole. They are widely recognized as superior marriage material: Intelligent, dependable, employed, honest, and handy around the house.


How to get there attention!

The fastest way to get an engineer to solve a problem is to declare that the problem is unsolvable. No engineer can walk away from an unsolvable problem until it's solved.

You're a True Engineer if you oblige with any of the above mentioned lines...!!
