Bloomberg Presidential Speculation Gets a Boost

Alright... you are a captain of industry... Soicailites love you... Commoners think you okay too... Charities want you on speedial and politicians want your blessings on all things great and small... You need a new gig by the year 2010. Someone suggest that you should run for president. You are going up against 2 political parties who have rock solid agendas of their own and are more scared of your money than your ideas. What do you do?

A: Run for President because you think you can win since you are a true master of the universe.

B: Ride off into the sunset peacefully and live a private life.

C: Become a philanthropist and earn that corner office in heaven.

D: Tease everyone and everybody about what you CAN do and establish yourself as a king maker while not spending a dime.

If you answered A, you are an ultimate narcisist in the tradition of the corporate world and your raw ego needs to express itself after years of giving in to what was reasonable and pratical in the business world. You just blew a Billion dollars, but you don't really care about that so fill in your own grade.

If you answered B, you may not have been the narcisist one may have thought a CEO needs to be in order to acheive sucess in the corporate world and truly a rare find. You get a C + because you don't act the part but your record can't be ignored.

If you answered C, you might have some explaining to do to the man up stairs or you are truly nobel despite the obvious desire to garner all the attention and well wishes that comes with philanthropy. You may bust be "Nice Narcisist" (Not to be confused with "Conpassionate Conservatives" or "Limosine Liberals"). You just passed the test with B+ since you lacked originality but at least someone on this earth benefits from all of this!

If you Answered D, you are what we thought you were... A narcisist who loves all the attention and the clout with your ego well under control. You have created an atmosphere of politicans fearing you, commoners wondering about you, solialites clammering for you and charirties worshiping you. By doing this you duplicated your past life as a captain of industry and you are showing your CEO skill set by not spending one dime on this because all this press is free. You just passed the MBIT test with an A+!

We shall see where Mayor Bloomberg fits into all of this. Personally, I can't imagine him failing this one.
