How many of you love personality tests? In graduate school I ate them up. Kari, remember when Marshak split the room up with those kinds of personalities on that far side, and us over here. Wasn’t your husband-to-be, Dave, WAY the heck over there? 🙂 What’s up with that? Is that when you started eyeing him, or was it when he did that math problem in front of the whole class with the grid and formulas? 🙂

OK, back on track.

Ever wish you could do an aspiring photographer personality test? I know, you never thought it would be possible huh! Guess what, it is.

If you liked those guys from earlier this week, you totally need to meet this guy! (get some Kleenex, his video gets me every time especially when he’s tossing his little girl up in the air–the music gets louder and you see them through fountain–oh man–don’t say I didn’t warn you!)

Dane came over last summer and told Brian and I about this book idea he had for aspiring photographers. Brian and I were entranced! The outline he was forming was AWESOME!! We were like “Dane, you have to write this! It’s going to be gold to people who want to be photographers! The content is AWESOME!”

And then I felt myself take a step back.

Why?

I’ll tell you why.

Ever since I published Beauty Restored, I’ve had 9,469,352 million people tell me their ideas for a book they want to write. People hear that I’ve published a book, and now they want to tell me all about their book ideas. It was a great conversation starter the first fifty times, now when Brian wants to get even with me he tells people I’ve written a book and walks away. 🙂

But if it’s a good idea, I get all excited about it. Out of the 9,469,352 million people that have told me their book ideas a lot have been exciting, cool ideas. However, I know maybe 4 people who actually finished writing their book. Dane Sanders now makes it five. He finished his book Fast Track Photographer last week! Somebody give him a BIG AMEN b/c this is no easy feat! Not to mention that he is a daddy to FOUR children!

As a prelude to the book being released, Dane created this stellar personality test you can do. It’s called pDNA (Photographer DNA).

Quoted from Dane’s site;

Ever wonder if your photo business is any different than everyone else?

Ever wish you could know exactly what you uniquely bring to the table?

Ever dream you had a piece of paper that told you exactly what to do to flourish?

The pDNA is a kind of personality profile custom built for people who dream of being a photographer, or they are new to the business/industry. What’s cool about it is you can treat it like a litmus test or benchmark of where you’re at today and where you’re headed tomorrow.

The test has over 200 questions. You create a profile here. Put the promo code refuse in so Me Ra Koh Blog readers get a 15% discount (I believe the price is $20 before the discount). Walk through the quick questions like you’ve done with other personality tests, click the dot that best describes you, and then fifteen minutes later you have this run down on yourself as a photographer. Great idea, don’t you think! You must share your results on the blog…well actually you don’t have to but it’d be cool to hear them if you want too!

Now what are you? Sanguine, Choleric, Golden Retriever, Busy Beaver, or ENFG?

And Dane, thanks for the discount to our readers! You’re AWESOME!
