“We always said we’d put the candidates first. (…). I’m not completely blaming you, I know you’re under a tremendous amount of pressure at work.

People who deal with code can be very peculiar. What do you think of when you hear the word `programmer`? A strange but genius guy with no social skills? I can assure you that there are such people, but you are likely to meet also other types.
We had a crazy idea to try to use 12 archetypes (normally used in psychology) that were defined by Carl Gustav Jung in order to define different types of programmers.
Here’s what we came up with. Which of these guys have you on your team?
