Talent, Lifer, or Mandarin?

For the most part, I agree with this summary. Hmmm, now if I only knew what "Mandarin" referred to... Ah, dictionary.com includes this definition: "A member of an elite group, especially a person having influence or high status in intellectual or cultural circles."

I'm a Mandarin!

You're an intellectual, and you've worked hard to get where you are now. You're a strong believer in education, and you think many of the world's problems could be solved if people were more informed and more rational. You have no tolerance for sloppy or lazy thinking. It frustrates you when people who are ignorant or dishonest rise to positions of power. You believe that people can make a difference in the world, and you're determined to try.
