Ich verstehe gar nichts

OK, jeg er officielt i chok! Jeg arbejder jo i et multikulturelt team og det ville jeg gerne gøre så godt som muligt. Derfor har jeg købt adgang til et system, hvor man kan tage en personlighedstest og så få en computer til at sammenligne sig med andre kolleger eller nationaliteter og derefter give en gode råd til, hvordan man skal opføre sig. Det er helt klart pengene værd, men her kommer det sjove.

For sjov sammenlignede jeg mig med, hvor godt jeg passer ind i Danmark og selvfølgelig også Schweiz (selvom vi faktisk kun har to kolleger fra Schweiz). Computeren fandt ud af, at jeg passer meget bedre med den schweiziske mentalitet end med den danske. Det var faktisk ikke alt for godt med den danske tilpasning! Så fik man den! Hvordan det er sket, ved jeg ikke. Jeg har absolut kun nordiske gener og er en overgiven dansk patriot. Og så hader jeg malkekøer. Men anyways, så er det da meget opmuntrende, når jeg nu altså er endt i Schweiz for denne fase af mit liv. Måske skulle jeg begynde at bede om, at vi må få nogle flere schweiziske kolleger og måske også en schweizisk mand (hvis de altså findes uden øreringe og mønstrede skjorter).

OK, I am officially in shock! I work in a multicultural team and that can be a challenge from time to time – but a challenge that I really want to embrace. Therefore I have bought access to a system where you take a personality test and then a computer will compare your profile to other colleagues or nationalities and then give you some advice as to how you should behave. It is definitely worth the money but here comes the fun part:

For fun I also compared myself with the Danish mentality and off course also with Switzerland (although we only have very few Swiss colleagues). The computer discovered that I fit in better in Switzerland than in Denmark. Actually, it seem to think that I would have some difficulties in Denmark. What a shock! How did that happen?? I really only have Nordic genes and I am a devoted Danish patriot. And I hate cows. But anyways, it is also kind of encouraging since I am in Switzerland now for this phase of my life. Maybe I should start to pray for more Swiss colleagues and maybe even a Swiss man (if it’s possible to find one without earrings and patterned shirts). (If I have any Swiss male single readers: Please forgive the last comment. Apparently I love you! But I can't stop my Danish sarcasm, so you have to live with that anyway (and the new shirts I will buy you).

Hehe. Thanks!
Well, we can always make a nice steak out of the cow and use the shirt for cleaning shoes (which is really important in Switzerland)

Dorthe sagde ...

Carmen - thanks. See you soon.
Laura - the website is countrynavigator.com. Yeah, I just checked with the Irish. Let's put it this way: According to the programme I fit in better with the people in the South of Ireland than the North. However, I still love you, Laura (I am sure every person in the whole world would enjoy you).
