More than a year ago I put together a silly little FAQ about myself. I called it the Heath Buckmaster not-so-FAQ. It was based on some meme that was going around at the time. I’ve also shared information about my personality type before, but I’ve never really put together something a bit more definitive so that people who don’t know me already can get a little insight into my personality.

So here I present something more comprehensive. A Heath Buckmaster FAQ based on an interesting assessment we recently did at work. Enjoy the peek into my mind…
