That turn based strategy game has been done to death in Japan and is still extrememly popular in China.

But I got a question...why would it make a good online game? There are not different classes of soldiers. Not really different races. The story does not really acknoledge the existence of non-heros (at least in the Iliad everyone is a hero and there supposedly are no nameless support people), with peasants around just to supply the armies with grain. Not a lot of magic or spirits or such. Actually, I guess one thing that could be done with it is a political "survivor" style play. Three Kingdoms has lots of backstabing and politicing. I never liked it because even the "good" characters are sort of bastards. And there is so much repatition in it. But if you could introduce new game-play where real politics was a compenent of the game, it could be interesting and capture some more of the feel of the books.

BTW, I don't think Chinese people will think you are saying "speak f___ f___" just because you get the tones wrong. There are many words that sound like caocao. For example, (factory)operator is "cao4 zuo4gong1" and no one would think this means "f___ worker". To give it its curse-meaning, you have to say it like you would in English: "F___ you buddy"; "mother F_er"; etc.

And I sell consulting services...mainly to HR departments and General Managers of foreign-funded companies in China. Now a days, personality tests and management consulting is all the rage here.

I have read a lot of interesting things here. Some of it very good. Some of it…not as good. Here is my contribution;

1. Personality tests are pretty useful in helping you with career advice, and can be somewhat useful as one of many tool-sets used in job compatibility assessment. But it can only be useful if the tester is very qualified, open-minded, and professional.

2. MBTI is based on the theories of Karl Yung. In said theory, Personality is narrowly defined as being made of two functions: Perception (take in information) and Judgment (process information). Introversion and extroversion are about how your energies are directed. Extroverts tend to think better when they talk and tend to be in-danger of listening less than they should (if they are not very developed). Introverts tend to think better when they do not talk, and tend to be in-danger of not contributing to the surrounding discussions (if they are not very developed).

3. We can say that extroverts may have more tendency to have developed better out-bound communications skills, although that is not a certainty. We can say that introverts may have more tendency to have developed better listening skills, although that is not a certainty.

4. If the test is MBTI, fake it all you want. If the test is DISC or others, don’t fake it. If its an IQ test or critical reasoning test…do the best you can. If the tester is professional, he is most likely looking to fill in a picture of you in his mind and is not using it really as a screening tool. He is probably more interested in seeing if you are; Sensing (detail oriented), or iNtuitive (big-picture strategic oriented); Thinking (tend to base your judgments on logical analysis of the objects you perceive) or Feeling (tend to base your judgments on how you value relationships with people) There are 16 personality types, and all types can perform any function in business.

5. …Although that being said, introverts tend to dislike heavy cold-call sales positions. Extroverts tend to hate accounting…especially Extroverted Intuiters. I would prefer a detail-oriented person as a QA supervisory / technician, and an iNtuitive person doing strategic marketing. However, as that QA supervisor may develop into a QA manager, it might still be good to hire a non-detail-oriented supervisor. If I’m going to hire an Introverted General Manager, I will be looking closely to see how she motivates people and if she has developed communications skills. Thinking and Feeling people are generally equally good at everything, but I would not want my group to have too many or too few of each.

6. Good HR managers helps build the company’s culture, set strategic programs in-place to improve leadership skills, build the employer brand, conduct Employee Satisfaction Surveys, set strategy on payment levels, etc. They are vital to the company.

7. GWB an ESTJ? Of course. Extroverted. Bases his perception on experience. Logical, though some would argue that he has not developed some of his logical reasoning skills. Judgmental … meaning that he first judges the world around him, than matches it with his experiential-based perception.

8. As I understand it, actually 50% of America is Introverted. So they are not really in a minority.
