ahka | What type of car or household appliance am I?

Not long ago, I was writing about 360 Reach and branding assessments that I learned about from MCDA conference. I promised to myself to post the results. This program sent out e-mails with questionnaires to the people I indicated that I wanted to describe me and got 54% response back at which point I stopped collecting more information.

It was pretty cool to see how other people see you and compare it to how I see myself. I did not learn much new from this process. However, it was very amusing to see the projective exercise where people had to compare me with type of cars and type of household appliances, indicating why they picked one or the other.

I guess that was fun part of the assessment. So, here we go… It is all me in the eyes of my friends and co-workers:
