I'm a Platonic/Socratic type:

You are convivial and love the company of others, especially when it lets
you show off your superiority. You are never so happy as when surrounded by
a bevy of sycophants. You have unsupported but superficially plausible
opinions on every issue imaginable, and are well-armed with leading
questions that allow you to deconstruct the opinions of others, no matter
what they be. You state your opinions forcefully and eloquently, leaving
your audience in a state of blissful, uncritical admiration. You tend to be
more talk than action, and when it comes to putting your ideas into practice
you may turn out to be less than convivial after all, lapsing into strident,
authoritarian legalism, which makes people look at you funny. You like to
write fairly thick books full of deep philosophy and homo-erotic banter.

Adjectives: Convivial, narrsisitic, engaging, authoritarian
