Answer the following 6 questions. Select the answer that best describes YOU. Follow your unique path to discover which well-known engineer your personality most aligns with.
START NOW
What was your favorite toy when you were a kid?
A tool kit. I made a lot of friends when other kids found out I could fix their bikes – and lots of other stuff.
An amphibious go-cart I built after someone bet me that it couldn't be done.
An arc welder. It let me turn my ideas into reality, including a custom all-terrain wheelchair that enabled one of my buddies to come camping with us.
A telescope. I earned money by giving the neighborhood kids "star tours" at $0.50 a pop.
Legos. I spent hours building all kinds of stuff, including my first robot.
Cool Junkyard Finds. They were a great source of free parts for all types of cool projects I wanted to take on.
Radio-controlled (RC) cars and planes. I loved making my machines faster and louder.
You are watching a science fiction movie with friends, When you notice that…
You never get to see people in the engine room who are actually responsible for making the ship go!
The villain who's trying to conquer the galaxy is so predictable that you know he's going to lose.
There is only one set of footprints on the bridge, but you just watched multiple people walk across moments before.
The secret lair is very elaborate. What business generates billions of galactic credits?
Nobody flipped the inertial damper to keep the crew from being splattered against the inner hull.
No one rigs up a magnetic pinch field to produce the thrust to achieve escape velocity.

The small reentry pods the ship's crew uses could be used to ride into low-Earth orbit and then use as hypersonic surfboards during the fiery trip down.
When you take a week off work, you...
Go to an off-grid resort.
It's the only way I get to rest, relax without having to solve emergencies.
Something different…
Learn to blow glass, take a motorcycle tour, or visit emerging culinary scenes.
Volunteer to mentor
at a FIRST competition or a STEM education event.

What is your favorite TV show?
Agents of Shield
. I enjoy stories about rebels and outsiders so it's no wonder that Agents of Shield is at the top of my watch list.
Tomorrow
. I do enough tech in my working life, so I use some of my down time to relax and get away from stories that are socially realistic. Tomorrow keeps my spirits high seeing creative ways people solve humanity's biggest challenges.
Star Trek
. For variety, I watch both Classic and TNG. But I don't know why everyone thinks that Kirk and Piccard were the stars of the show when it was usually Scotty and Geordi who were saving everybody's bacon.
Shark Tank . Shark Tank is my fave, but I also include Startup, Halt and Catch Fire, and GirlBoss in my regular rotation.
What is your favorite TV show?
Modern Marvels
. Wait, TV? I've got too many projects. But when I need a break, Modern Marvels, is my go-to show.
Junkyard Wars and MacGyver to see if I can figure out a better solution than the people in the show.
Mythbusters. When I need a bit of down time, I relax with real-life adventure shows like MythBusters.
Shark Tank . Shark Tank is my fave, but I also include Startup, Halt and Catch Fire, and GirlBoss in my regular rotation.

What is your dream car?
Corvette C8 with the Z51 package
. It combines the best of old-school muscle cars with sophisticated technology.
Mercedes Unimog
. But, it has to come with the snorkel, 3-point hitch, PTO, and all the other trimmings.
650 HP Shelby Cobra
. I am working on a small JATO pack to enhance the replica I built’s performance.
What is your dream car?
Nobody's made my dream car yet.
That's why I've assembled the design team and am getting funding for the startup that will produce it.
Terrafugia Transition
. I want a flying car, like the Terrafugia Transition or the PAL-V Liberty roadable gyrocopter.
Corvette C8 with the Z51 package
. It combines the best of old-school muscle cars with sophisticated technology.
If you weren’t an engineer, you’d be...
A "Disruptive Developer". Because the world needs good inexpensive, eco-friendly housing. I've got the know-how to create the tech and the business plan to profitably manufacture it at half the cost of today's solutions.
A medical technician, or some other profession where I get to do at least three impossible things before breakfast.
If you weren’t an engineer, you’d be...
Science Teacher. I like to encourage kids to use their imaginations to solve problems in unique ways.
Specialty vehicle designer
. Making custom motorcycles and aircraft or building special effects for the movies.

When the hardware malfunctions, the software melts down, and the project falls far behind schedule, it's time to step in and save the day. Because… you’re the Miracle Worker. Although you tell your manager it might take a week to straighten out, you and your team pull an all-nighter and have the prototype purring like a kitten when the rest of the project team arrives the next morning.
The perfect example of this engineering personality type is Montgomery Scott, aka "Scotty", the Chief Engineer of the Starship Enterprise. When the courageous and dashing Captain Kirk set out on the Enterprise's first 5-year mission, it was often the less glamorous but fearless Mr. Scott who saved the day from the depths of the engine room.

MODERN ENGINEERS NEED ULTIMATE SOLUTIONS
Your straightforward manner and level-headed approach to life has earned your friends trust and affection. It's also made you their go-to person for advice on everything from which parameters to use as the primary drivers for the upcoming design project to brands of dishwashers. You’re a Modern Engineer – curious, critical thinker with a collaborative spirit.
A problem solver by nature, you enjoy using your skills to make things better, both at work and at home. It's no wonder that some of the most successful companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Lockheed, Tesla, NVIDIA, Google, and many others, were founded by engineers. Likewise, when companies run into trouble, it's a smart move to appoint a former engineer, like GM's current CEO, Mary Barra to set things right. “Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world.” Now, go engineer!

Nicholas NegroponteFounder, One Laptop Per Child Project
You have a vision of the future that few, if any, can imagine, but you're not going to let that stop you from creating products and technologies that will make it happen. You are a Maverick. Whether it's creating a laptop that kids in emerging economies can afford or making a reusable rocket that lands on its tail. No challenge is too big or impossible for you.
One of our lesser-known modern-day Mavericks is Nicholas Negroponte, founder of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. Back in 2005, he first conceived the idea of creating a $100 computer that students in low-income families and emerging economies could afford. Since the average laptop cost $1000 at the time, it's no wonder he was ridiculed by Bill Gates and many other industry leaders. Nevertheless, he persisted and eventually succeeded in delivering his computers to classrooms throughout the world. His humble laptops pretty much drove the industry's development of tablets, netbooks and other mobile computing products, all at prices said to be "impossible" a few years earlier. Go make it happen!

You are an engineer with a passion for uncovering life’s opportunities. Your hybrid skill set gives you the unique ability to see new opportunities and create the products and technologies to address them. You are relentless, with faith in your vision that enables you to endure setbacks that would stop most mere mortals long before they achieved their goal. But that doesn’t stop you because you are an Entrepreneur.
The 21st century has its share of Engineer Entrepreneurs, including Lonnie Johnson, a rocket scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and inventor of the Super Soaker water gun. Johnson's talent for tech led him to build a robot that won a local science fair and opened his way to college, the Air Force, and eventually NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. After 20+ years of creating and selling his inventions in his spare time, his Super Soaker water guns hit big, providing him with the income he needed to pursue research in advanced energy conversion. He also uses part of his fortune to support, and personally mentor, STEM education for disadvantaged kids and eight FIRST Robotics competition teams. Go dream and make it happen!

Congratulations! Your personality is most like someone who's so distinctive that he's got a personality type named after him. At work, you earn the respect of your colleagues as you find unlikely yet highly successful solutions to design’s toughest problems. Then fix the break room microwave with nothing more than a paper clip and a discarded SIM card. You are the MacGyver.
Whether it's escaping a hot pursuit by converting a lawn mower into an ultralight aircraft or using a few Arduino modules, some stepper motors, and a home-brew robotic arm to convert an old milling machine into an automated manufacturing cell, a MacGyver is never out of tricks. You're in good company with other engineers like Grant Imahara of MythBusters. And who could forget Mark Watney, the engineer, astronaut, and interplanetary castaway who performed one of the most awesome feats of self-rescue in the science fiction thriller, The Martian?

From a CAD station to a high-powered plasma cutter you can never decide what you enjoy more. But you do know that watching your creations do amazing stuff is the best. You wake up every morning amazed they pay you to do what you love – especially since it occasionally involves blowing things up. You’re Not The Typical Techie (NT3). You bring innovation, ingenuity, and a spirit of adventure to the organizations you work with.
In your spare time, you enjoy messing with anything that goes fast, looks cool, does stuff that nobody else thought of doing, or any combination thereof. You probably don't own a suit, but you may have an extensive collection rock climbing equipment, a wingsuit parachute rig or a collection of leather motorcycle gear that more closely resembles Mad Max than Wild Hogs. One of the most famous NT3‘s was the billionaire industrialist Howard Hughes, who, among other things, set several aviation records in airplanes that he designed, helped build, and flew himself. Hughes also survived several near-fatal crashes of high-performance experimental aircraft he designed. So, what techie thing are you building?
