Last week at work I had to do two different personality tests. One test showing what sort of team player I am and if I have to adjust my personality when working. The other one showing how I cope with stress and if there are any eventual signs of a burnout.
Even though the test are scientific there are really no rights or wrongs. Hopefully the tests will just show things and traits that one already knows about or recognise. In my case it was almost scary since the results was very much spot on.
The team player test showed me as a people skills oriented person with the special traits of a team worker being a good listener, collaborative, co-operative, easy going and tactful. Yes, that’s me. The test also showed that I do not adjust my personality when working, which supposedly means that I’m in the right position at work.
The stress test was a bit more in depth showing that I’m a high performer, but not with the type A personalities as being competitive and impatient. The test also showed that I’m a control freak (no surprise there) and are very much trying to be the good girl.
In the end the evaluator (who also worked as psycho-analyst which explain some of her flakiness) actually told me to go out there and lose the control every now and then. "Get drunk and do something ridiculous!” Hm, I’m sure there must something else I can do than getting drunk… My head can’t take that anymore. I was also told broaden/step outside my comfort zone and challenge myself with new things.
Interesting advice, which I clearly need to think about. As usual everything that don’t kill you strengthens you.
