What's Your Personality?

Hey everyone,
Gwen sent me this link to a fun personality quiz. I've taken a lot of these in the past (I used to administer them a lot for my job as a College and Career Specialist in California), but I always think it's fun to get to know yourself a little better. It's a pretty simple test, of course, but I thought my outcome, at least, sounded a lot like me. I'd be interested to hear what other people came out as. If you do the quiz, leave a comment on my blog and let us know!

Here's the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/whatamilike/index.shtml

Here's what I came out as:
Provider:

  • Warm, caring people who value order and tradition
  • Loyal workers who follow through on commitments
  • Think of themselves as sympathetic, easy-going and steady
  • They don't feel comfortable with radical change

More about Providers:

  • Providers like to make plans with other people and then to work with them towards achievable goals in a fun, harmonious environment. They support people that are important to them and respect their individuality.
  • Providers have traditional values and support order and responsible behaviour. They enjoy social events, particularly family celebrations, and often help plan them.
  • Providers work hard to avoid conflict, but they will state their beliefs when they think it is suitable.
  • In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Providers may doubt their abilities and focus solely on the needs of other people. Under extreme stress, Providers may withdraw completely and become excessively critical of themselves and others.
  • Providers prefer warm, face-to-face communication and often express their ideas by telling stories from their own lives.
  • Providers are often drawn to jobs in education, health care or religion.

Interesting...I was a "supervisor." A few of the things described me well, but it sounded a lot more organized and in control than I think I am...

I haven't had a chance to do the test, but I totally can see you as a provider. You have always been very easy going and a great friend! Love the blog!
