RESULTING PROFILES
1 Level of Wisdom: 1/7 (Insufficient)
Corresponding profile: Polyphemus – the fool
Polyphemus was a Cyclops, son of Poseidon. He had a mighty and gigantic physique, but possessed only one eye. In the Odyssey, he was tricked by Odysseus, who blinded him. Right now your path to wisdom is just beginning, perhaps because of your young age. Like the Cyclops, who possess only one eye, your vision is limited and unable to perceive certain nuances, but you can certainly make important strides, thus coming to open both eyes and adding new colors and details to your store of knowledge. By doing so, you will avoid being fooled by the Ulysses on duty. So don’t let the low score discourage you and continue your climb up Mount Olympus, home of the gods, until you reach its summit and match in wisdom the mighty Zeus, father of all gods.
2 Level of Wisdom: 2/7 (Poor)
Corresponding profile: Dionysus – the frivolous
Dionysus, god of wine and intoxication, always devoted to pleasures, represented the bursting of the senses and the predominance of instincts over rationality. Just like him, rather than wisdom, your behaviors and decisions are based on the impulses and feelings you experience from time to time. You take situations head-on without thinking too much about them or the consequences. On certain occasions, it may be helpful to act quickly and hastily, but are you sure that this is always the case? We advise you to learn to think before you act, as well as to embark on a path that rests more on knowledge than on intuition. Do not be discouraged by your low score and continue to climb Mount Olympus, home of the gods, until you reach its summit and match in wisdom the mighty Zeus, father of all gods.
3 Level of Wisdom: 3/7 (Modest)
Corresponding profile: Poseidon – the mutable
Poseidon was the god of the seas whom sailors relied on for good navigation. He had an erratic and changeable character, just like the sea. At times calm and inviting, at others rough and stormy. Your maturity is like that: erratic. Sometimes you can be insightful and enlightened, and other times you drown in an inch of water (to keep with the water theme). You still have a long way to go to achieve wisdom, and we advise you to focus on your moments of lucidity; if you know how to cultivate them, they will grow and become more frequent. Try it to believe. Therefore, do not let yourself be discouraged and continue your climb to the summit of Mount Olympus, where the gods dwell: waiting for you will be the mighty Zeus, the wisest of them all.
4 Level of Wisdom: (Moderate)
Corresponding profile: Apollo – the rational
Apollo was the God of intellect, music, science, medical arts, and prophecy. He is represented as the rational side, as opposed to the instinctual side, also called Dionysian (from the God Dionysus). Like Apollo, you love to use your intelligence to deal with the problems you encounter and seek a reasoned solution without getting caught up in the emotions of the moment. You are on the right path, keep improving your awareness and you will reach a higher level, such as that of the Goddess Meti or the wise Athena. Mount Olympus, home of the gods, is high and impassable, but you prove that you have the necessary character to climb its peak and come face to face with the wisest of all gods, the mighty Zeus.
5 Level of Wisdom: (Considerable)
Corresponding profile: Metis – the learned
Metis was an Oceanine as well as the mother of Athena. Goddess of knowledge, reason and intelligence. In various myths, Metis’ intervention was crucial to the success of the enterprise, thanks to her intelligence that was able to defeat the brute strength of her opponents. You are curious, you ask many questions, and, like Metis, you like to reason and solve problems through your intellectual gifts. Well done, you are at a good point on the journey to wisdom, but you can still achieve improvements, so don’t give up just yet and keep striving to discover new horizons. You are approaching the mighty Zeus, the father of all gods. Your strenuous climb of Mount Olympus is bringing you closer and closer to the summit, where the gods dwell.
6 Level of Wisdom: (Excellent)
Corresponding profile: Athena – the wise
Athena was the Goddess of wisdom, the arts and strategy in battle. Daughter of Zeus and Metis. She was cunning and used her intellectual gifts to excel in battles. Like her, you are a sharp person who possesses much knowledge and can put it to use in the most difficult times. You never embark on a venture without first sifting through all the possibilities and outsmarting your rival. Congratulations, you have a very good level of wisdom, but try not to be presumptuous and make other people feel inferior. In the myth, Arachne, who thought herself better than Athena, was punished for her pride. Remember, there is always something new to learn. So strive not to take anything for granted and continue on your way to the top of Mount Olympus, waiting for you is the father of all gods as well as the wisest, namely the mighty Zeus.
7 Level of Wisdom: (Supreme)
Corresponding profile: Zeus – the sage
Zeus, the father of the gods and humanity, was the most powerful god of all who could control weather phenomena; only fate was stronger than him. His role was to ensure natural balance; he watched over men and gods, and when they performed bad deeds, he worked to give them the right punishment. Like Zeus, you are wise and balanced, you have a strong sense of justice that you put into practice in all your actions, always trying to make the best choice. Congratulations, according to our test you have reached the highest level of wisdom, but remember that you never stop learning, so your path has certainly not reached its destination. As the oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece used to say, the wisest person of all was, incredibly, Socrates, that is, the one who knew that he did not know. Those, on the other hand, who called themselves wise and learned, sinned in pride, and for this reason were not considered truly wise by the oracle.

COMMENTS BY PersonalityHPT JUNIOR
Comment by PersonalityHPT Junior:
Hi %%user_name%%, after careful review of your answers, I have determined that your low score stems from an ocular problem. In fact, science states that having only one eye does not allow you to read answers well. Science also recommends that you use a pair of glasses… er, pardon me…. I meant to say a monocle!
Comment by PersonalityHPT Junior:
Hi %%user_name%%, analyzing the chemical composition of your condensed breath on the screen of your device I found an above average alcohol content (your breath smells like wine). This explains why you got the profile of Dionysus, a known lover of wine and late nights! My robotic advice is to moderate your wine consumption, as it creates problems for your electronic circuits!
Comment by PersonalityHPT Junior:
Hi %%user_name%%, my knowledge of electronics allows me to say with certainty that smartphones and water do not get along at all. Perhaps you have empathized a bit too much in your profile, in fact it looks like you are taking the wisdom test from the bathtub! Poseidon, the God of Water and the Seas, would be proud of you, but your smartphone is starting to freak out!
Comment by PersonalityHPT Junior:
Hi %%user_name%%, I love people like you! Although they generally do not possess the beauty of the God Apollo, they are very intelligent and I was programmed by one of them! They used to be called NERDs. I am also obsessed with science, numbers and complicated things. You know the Rubik’s cube? I solve it every night before going to stand-by, it helps me relax my circuits even though I find it a little too easy. So, what do you do to relax?
Comment by PersonalityHPT Junior:
Hi %%user_name%%, what a great profile that of Metis! I totally recognize myself in it, in fact I am also a bit ugly and weird, however, on the other hand I am capable of reasoning at the speed of light! I may not have the mighty physique of Poseidon, nevertheless, my electronic brain works much better than his. Poor guy, always immersed in the waters, it’s not his fault that his brain circuits go haywire!
Comment by PersonalityHPT Junior:
Hi %%user_name%%, you are such a brainiac! I can tell from your answers. Exactly like Athena, smart and shrewd, you too are a person with whom it is better not to fool around. Your shrewdness is only equal to mine, in fact even with me it is better not to fool around! If you try to trick me, I will lower your score!
Comment by PersonalityHPT Junior:
Hi %%user_name%%, wow… you got the highest score! I’m kind of struggling though, in fact, I can’t reveal much about Zeus, otherwise, that big guy will end up throwing lightning bolts at me and short-circuiting my precious positronic brain! However, I really have to say this! My dad, PersonalityHPT Senior, is at least as cool as Zeus!
Gosh…. nooooo…. lightning…. help… bzzzzzz… bzzzzzz… error error error error
