Personality Type Test
 


What makes you different?

This analysis describes your preferences for dealing with and relating to people, processing information, making decisions and organising your life.  In essence it gives a good overview of what you can offer an employer in terms of personality and behaviour.

About You

The judgements you made about your behaviour (and who knows you best?) indicate that the Personality Type that most accurately describes you is
ISTP.

Introvert-Sensing-Thinking-Perceiving

AKA 'The Operator'

"Let's do it - get it done now!" could easily be your motto - a description of your philosophy in life.  You are very practical and action-orientated.  You focus your energy - both at work and play - on things that can be done and experienced now.  Not next week... not next month.  Action nourishes and sustains you - and you need it to thrive.

You are competitive, self-sufficient and able to function without needing to rely on support and encouragement from others. 

People who know you well are likely to describe you as intriguing, optimistic and loyal.  The sort of person who lives in the 'here-and-now' rather than in the past or future.

People who do not know you well may see you as being rather reserved - perhaps shy.  However, friends are likely to see you as a free spirit with an attractive quiet charm.

Your Probable Contributions to an Organisation

Each Personality Type has a differing set of skills, talents and attributes that they bring to an organisation, group or relationship.  Here is a list of those most commonly associated with Personality Types like you - ISTP.

  • Enjoys the experience of delivering something new and important.

  • Excels when results are immediate; suffers when the routine becomes too stable and boring.  

  • Values flexibility, challenge, action and adventure; enjoys variety with new skills and techniques to master.  

  • Is project, action and short-term results-oriented.

  • Focuses on accomplishing the here- and-now tasks with action, optimism and enthusiasm for practical, concrete results.

  • Is a concrete, linear thinker and 'do-er'.

  • Accomplishes tasks despite rules, not because of them.

On a Team

Some people work well on teams, others work best on their own.  Understanding the personality types of team members provides information about how individuals are likely to carry out their work and interact with each other.  Given your personality preferences, the following are the strengths (and possible blind spots!) you will most likely bring to a team:

3.

■
 Introverts tend to be reflective, reserved and private. A popular misconception is that Introverts are shy - this is not necessarily so.  They draw their energy from their own thoughts and spending time alone. Introverts do not 'need' people around them all the time. 
 
■
Sensors live in the present.  They rely on facts, handle practical matters well and like things to be definite and measurable.
 
■
Thinkers make decisions using logic and impersonal analysis  They use their heads rather than their hearts.

■
 Perceivers prefer a lifestyle that is spontaneous, flexible and adaptable. They like an environment that is unstructured, and keep their options open.
