A pilot personality profile.

So much wrong in that article.

 

[Bill]

TL;DR, or more correctly, hard to read. How about real paragraphs and writing style? Sheesh.

What type of personality though that it was appropriate to publish that article in that format?

 

[jaymark6655]

Yeah I might have to cut and paste that into word and format it just to be able to read it. From what I could read, seemed interesting.

Yep.... centered... and ALL CAPS for the entire article. Classy...

 

[rtk11]

I don't know what personality type I am. I tried, refreshed the browser, tried to comprehend the odd use of font size and color... and then I decided to abort and go-around back to this forum.

actually, how pilots react to the article in its current format reveals much about the pilot

 

[Zeldman]

Well, at least the font was big enough to see without my glasses....

 

[Sierra_Hotel]

Opened it, scrolled down once, closed it.

Not much tolerance for BS...

Hope this helps. (Attachment)
Sorry I was in a rush, there is still a lot of formatting I could do to make it better, but should at least be readable.

Hey! Youse guys are missing some real gems:

"if you had to work as an engineer you would become more focused and organized simply through practice."
My wife may disagree...

"the idea of being at the controls of a vehicle that is going to soar thousands of feet in the air “weeds out” most people with negative attitudes."
Sez the guy who has never been on a pilot forum...

But on a more positive note, one of our own was recently re-published. And it's nicely formatted and readable:

The author lost me at: "Pilots generally have good social skills and good reasoning." ... haha!

Thanks for pointing out the article... Now that I have figured out how to use Apple Notes to archive useful things like that, I added it to my "library"

Thank got for Safari and it's Reader Mode....

Then there's this, "Thus, they tend to be bright and capable of good social interaction when called for." I guess it's often not called for here.

Also, why are they just now publishing something written in 2001?

A look at the HTML source shows the format was not intentional. Looks like they miseed a tag.

What percentage of pilots participate in POA?

Why would anyone consider that to be a valid sample of the population?

 

[denverpilot]

That article was so dumb, it gave me Forrest Whittaker Eye before halfway through.

So are you saying the average pilot is better at social interaction than those on POA? Or worse?

They'll be the first to tell you that they do....

Somebody got their HTML and CSS backwards...

That's what editors and proofreaders are for.

That was a really stupid article.
