Your programmer personality type is:

DHSB

test
You like coding at a High level.
The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs
in the same way.

You work best in a Solo situation.
The best way to program is by yourself. There's no communication problems, you
know every part of the code allowing you to write the best programs possible.

You are a liBeral programmer.
Programming is a complex task and you should use white space and comments as
freely as possible to help simplify the task. We're not writing on paper anymore
so we can take up as much room as we need.

I can't help but notice that there's a 'D' in my programmer personality type, but it doesn't correspond to anything. There is a rogue "test" just above "High level", perhaps whoever wrote the test hadn't filled in that description yet?

Also, I take exception to the "best language" question, because it depends on the problem. For most general tasks, I favor a high-level language like Python or Java, but for high-performance code (e.g. graphics, protein folding, physics engines) the only option is a low-level language like C or, if you're truly in need of every ounce of computing power (or just a masochist), Assembly.
