Personality Test

[Maritime Q-Scout]

I've taken these tests before, but this one was a bit different and it basically nailed my personality to a tee... even when it starting giving some results halfway through and I thought "ummm no". Put it together and there I was.

My result:

Peacemaker

Summary of Peacemakers

* Value personal freedom
* Particularly sensitive to the feelings of others

I am a counsellor. It does a pretty good job of describing me.

Counsellor

[moon]

Strategist

Quiet, easy-going and intellectually curious
Use logical, objective thinking to find original solutions to problems
Think of themselves as bright, logical and individualistic
May be impractical, forgetting practical issues, such as paying bills or doing the shopping

Pretty accurate for a broad test like this.

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Interesting conclusion...

Go-Getter

* Inventive, resourceful problem solvers with a love of life
* Can be tough-minded when necessary
* Think of themselves as enthusiastic, determined and alert
* May become frustrated by rules and routines

"Go-getters are most likely to say they dislike reading poetry books, according to a UK survey."

Well that's bang on anyways, I hate poetry.

Although that is also really close to Big-Thinker which is...

Summary of Big Thinkers

* Outspoken, ingenious and bored by routine
* Look for opportunities and enjoy tackling problems head-on
* Think of themselves as talkative, curious and self-sufficient
* May neglect the routine work required to make their plans successful

"In the UK, Big Thinkers are most likely to book a holiday at short notice, according to a nationwide survey."

Well most of my holidays have been at short notice...

Another interesting conclusion. As I am a Supervisor!

Summary of Supervisors
-Bring order to their home and work life
-Like to act on clear, achievable goals
-Think of themselves as stable, practical and sociable
-May be irritated when people don't follow procedures <---- Too True!


Supervisors like to make plans, organise people and get things done efficiently. They are natural administrators who dislike chaos and strive to bring order to every aspect of their lives. Supervisors like jobs where the goals are clearly defined and there are proven work methods in place.

Supervisors use logic to solve problems and believe in being open and direct in their communications with others. They prefer to work and socialise with like-minded people.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Supervisors may reject the opinions of others and insist they are right. Under extreme stress, Supervisors may feel cut off from the people around them and lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Because they like to take charge and organise activities, others may find Supervisors too bossy.

I was listed as a Supervisor, but I think I am more of a Go-Getter, as the statement "Brings order to their home and work life" is definitely not true

[Bill Bumface]

Summary of Go-Getters
Inventive, resourceful problem solvers with a love of life
Can be tough-minded when necessary
Think of themselves as enthusiastic, determined and alert
May become frustrated by rules and routines - Take that supervisor!

More about Go-Getters
Go-getters are active, flexible people who put a great deal of energy into life. This group prefers learning on the job to quiet study and willingly jumps into almost any situation. Others are attracted to the Go-getter’s positive attitude and enthusiasm.


Go-getters are most likely to say they dislike reading poetry books, according to a UK survey.

Go-getters find fun ways to tackle problems head-on and don’t worry too much about rules. They are good at using logic to assess the situation and finding realistic solutions.

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Go-getters may reject all routines and put fun ahead of responsibilities. Under extreme stress, Go-getters may become overwhelmed by thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong.

Go-getters may be liable to forget important dates such as a loved one’s birthday. SOOO true!

Go-Getter Careers
Go-getters are attracted to a variety of careers, especially those which require attention to detail.

It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results.

[HelloHockeyFans]

Supervisor as well!

I'm a Resolver.

Summary of Resolvers
Good at getting to the heart of a problem and quickly finding a solution
Make rational decisions using the facts available

Realist

Summary of Realists

• Loyal and steady workers who meet deadlines
• Believe in established rules and respect facts
• Think of themselves as mature, stable and conscientious
• May appear too logical or tough-minded and forget their impact on other people

Realists are loyal to the people around them and work hard to keep their promises. They are honest and straightforward with others and expect the same in return. Realists believe in standard procedures and will only support change when there is a demonstrable benefit

Realists respect factual information, which they store up to use when making decisions. This group likes to have time to think quietly and carefully before taking action

Pretty damn accurate.

[BlackEleven]

Realist. Not too sure I agree actually, especially with the last point

Summary of Realists

* Loyal and steady workers who meet deadlines
* Believe in established rules and respect facts

Last time I did this test I got mastermind...which sounds a lot more like me after reading its descirption.

* Visionaries who put energy into achieving their goals

* Value practicality and common sense above ideas and theories

[Winsor_Pilates]

Mine says I'm a "Mother #####er"

That's about right. B-)

[calculoso]

I'm a Resolver too.

Resolvers are often tolerant of behaviour different to their own as long as their values aren't compromised. They sometimes give the impression that they agree with other peoples' viewpoints because they don't actively disagree.

Resolvers are quiet and sometimes it is difficult to get to know them; however, they often talk freely about subjects they understand well.

Summary of Strategists

* May be impractical, forgetting practical issues, such as paying bills or doing the shopping

Strategists are the group most likely to say they are unhappy in their job, according to a UK survey.

In situations where they can't use their talents, are unappreciated, or not taken seriously, Strategists may become negatively critical or sarcastic.

^^^ They got that one nailed down pretty good.

[MolsonInBothHands]

Realist... and pretty much bang on.

[Sylvanfan]

I came out as a resolver, and it seems to be a fairly good summary of a lot of my traits. This is like the Myers Briggs Personality Type Indicator in a way. I believe I was an ISTP in that one.
