Ape Culture - The Beatle Personality Test:

Disclaimers

TBPT can not be responsible for gross or reckless misuse of Beatle Typing. Please proceed with caution and a healthy sense of reality, if you’ve got one handy. As Typewatchers remind us, your Beatle strengths unchecked become a Beatle liability. Remember: The Beatles broke up!

I am sure there are complexities in each of the Lennon/McCartney personalities and within their relationship. For the purposes of this test, I am going to assume that there are not.



The McCartney Type (PMT)

* Social
* A vaudevillian extravert ("Say Say Say" the video)
* Has extensive Work (more solo lps…death is no excuse for Lennon. Elvis is dead and he is still releasing lps )
* High energy expenditure ("Band on the Run")
* Deals in the present ("Let It Be")
* Realistic, Factual, Practical ("Baby I’m Amazed",
"With a Little Luck")
* Believes in perspiration ("The Long and Winding Road")
* Down to Earth ("Silly Love Songs")
* Specifics ("Uncle Albert", "Junior’s Farm")
* Laws, policy, clarity ("Live and Let Die")
* Detached (no bed-ins)
* Decided, fixed (Paul Is Live)
* Needs control, plans ("No More Lonely Nights")
* Structure, schedule (Liverpool Oratorio)
* Marries wife who works in reality based art: photography

The John Lennon Type (TJLT)

* Opinionated, self-righteous (can you tell which type I am?)
* Introvert (Mind Games)
* Energy conservation (peppy is not cool)
* Reflective ("Ballad of John & Yoko")
* Random inspiration ("Strawberry Fields Forever")
* Deals in the future ("War Is Over")
* Conceptual, theoretical (The Plastic Ono Band, "Imagine")
* Head in the Clouds ("Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds")
* Fantasy world (Double Fantasy)
* Involved, social values ("Revolution")
* Flexible, adaptable (to Yoko)
* Open ended (Somewhere in New York City)
* Verbally brave ("We’re bigger than Jesus")
* Marries wife who works in abstract based art
