What does my work personality say about me?
Every workplace is its own little universe with a blend of personalities and identities all working together to accomplish a mission. In this quiz, we tell you which niche you fill based on your answers to some simple questions, and here's what your possible results mean for you:
The Builder
You're a strategic thinker with an eye for the bigger picture. You understand how complex systems work, and how to make them better. Your team relies on you to think things through and anticipate challenges.
The Questioner
Your superpower is staying curious and asking questions. You want to know how things work, why they don't work, and what to do about it. When your team comes across a knot or a tangle, you're first on the scene to figure it out.
The Captain
You're able to take bold, decisive action when other people get decision paralysis. You take the lead and give others an example to follow, and you take responsibility for the results, no matter what they might be.
The Debater
You play Devil's advocate, poking holes in plans and asking questions. You're not a saboteur, though—you're more like an insurance policy, asking what can go wrong and why so that your team can prepare now rather than later.
The Advocate
You see the strengths in your teams and their plans and go to bat for them. You're generous and pragmatic, and people respect your opinions and the ways you hold your team together and push them forward.
The Mediator
You smooth over disagreements and arguments with your gentle authority and generous attitude, helping to remind your team that it's you vs. the problem, not everyone vs. each other.
The Leader
You inspire the people around you to rise to the occasion. You take the initiative and encourage others. They want to do well because they want to impress you, and that's an awful lot of power to have!
The Inspirer
You're the master of finding silver linings and spinning lost causes into new projects and reasons to get excited. Without you, the whole thing would sink, and nobody would learn anything.
The Facilitator
You're always ready to lend a hand, no matter the task. Nothing is too big or too small. You're a floating helper who rolls up your sleeves and gets things done so that others can focus on their jobs.
The Guardian
You have a knack for spotting low spirits, and you always come to the rescue when people are in need of help. You know that in order for the team to work, nobody can be left behind, so you work behind the scenes to keep everyone united.
The Manager
You're in tune with the deadlines and logistics, and you know what it takes to make sure the team is running like a well-oiled machine. You dive into the nitty-gritty and come out the other side with a game plan.
The Socialite
You have the best soft skills on the team, and you focus mainly on making sure everyone feels seen, heard, and more like a person than a cog in the machine. This makes the workplace a better environment for everyone!
The Tinkerer
You take a good idea and make it better. You're the person who tweaks, adjusts, and optimizes until everything is the best it can be, ensuring that you don't just do a good job, but a great job.
The Daredevil
You're an ideas person, someone who gets the wheels turning. No idea is too big or too small, and the more ambitious, the better. Others can refine and work out the kinks, but you set the course from the start and dare to dream.
The Maverick
You're the entrepreneur, the finesser. When someone has doubts, you prove them wrong. When there's an issue, you arrive the next day with it fixed, though nobody asked you to. You're great with people, and even better with problems.
The Cheerleader
You set the vibe and lend everyone your energy. In general, you make the workplace and the team an enjoyable place to be, and without you, the mood would turn sour. You keep everyone inspired and believing in the mission.
