    Your answers suggest you are a Resolver

    The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
    Spontaneous, Facts, Heads and Introvert
    Summary of Resolvers

    * Good at getting to the heart of a problem and quickly finding a solution
    * Make rational decisions using the facts available
    * Think of themselves as understanding, stable and easy-going
    * May focus on short-term results and lose sight of the big picture

    More about Resolvers

    Resolvers are independent people who quietly learn how things work by analysing large amounts of information. Should a problem arise, they solve it with as little fuss as possible. Resolvers are only interested in abstract ideas, if they can be used to solve a problem quickly.

    Resolvers like to take risks: Many of them seek jobs and pastimes that put them in harms way and guarantee an adrenaline rush.

    Resolvers have changed jobs most frequently since leaving full-time education, according to a UK survey.

    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.

    In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Resolvers may become cynical, negatively critical or put off decisions. Under extreme stress, Resolvers could be prone to inappropriate, tearful outbursts.

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

    Resolvers are often drawn to hands-on jobs that require an analytical mind and careful organisation of large amounts of data.

    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.
    Overall results

    The graph below shows the percentage of people with each personality type out of everyone who has taken this test.

    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 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.
    Go-Getter Careers

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

    Actually...

    Planner? Maybe somewhat over 50% but not much. (My answers to the first three questions suggest three different types of behaviour.)

    Ideas? Sure, as long as I have an idea on what's going on.

    Heads? I'm always on an unstable balance between mind and heart. Gemini stuff it must be...

    Extrovert? Definitely. But also introvert. Again the balance thingie.

    People who know me agree about the leadership part usually but I'm yet to see it proven.

    The test isn't much able to determine what or how I really am.

    Me a 20th-June-born Gemini as well..

    I think the swinging between mind and heart stuff of Gemini is because of their ability of comprehension and the eagerness to imagine..

    Whatever..I had came across with these questions elsewhere but I do not remember which website it was.

    www.emode.com has an interesting IQ test that defines your way of thinking as well. You may give it a go.

    Funt thingies that let you draw a picture of yourself. Whoever you are there are basic categorizations as a human each of which has its own pattern of perceptions and attitudes.. I love psychological stuff.

    The four aspects that make up this personality type are:


    Summary of Mentors
    Warm and lively people who focus on the needs of others
    Bring people together and encourage group participation
    Think of themselves as intelligent, outgoing and sensitive
    May become overbearing in their quest for harmony
    More about Mentors
    Articulate, lively and enthusiastic, Mentors spend time and energy fostering relationships and encouraging personal growth in others. They are extremely sensitive to people's needs and play a central role in families and social groups.


    Mentors have changed jobs least since leaving full-time education, according to a UK survey.
    Mentors love to bring people together in harmony and enjoy busy, active lives. However, their warm nature may mean they have trouble making tough decisions that affect others negatively.

    In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Mentors may focus too much on the needs of others. Under extreme stress, Mentors may be troubled by unusually critical thoughts about themselves and others.

    Mentors readily see the best traits in others, but may have trouble recognizing personality faults.

    Mentor Careers
    Mentors are often drawn to jobs where they can help people develop their potential.

    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.

    I'm an Idealist. No big suprise.

    I'm spontaneous. Not sure how to react about saying I'm an idea and a hearts person, never thought of myself in that way. I am certaintly an introvert.

    Summary of Idealists
    Make sense of the world using inner values
    Focus on personal growth and the growth of others
    Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious
    May sometimes appear stubborn
    More about Idealists
    Idealists put time and energy into developing personal values that they use as a guide through life. They may seek fulfilment by helping others improve themselves and often want to make the world a better place. Idealists only share their inner values with people they respect.


    Idealists are the most likely group to say they are vegetarian, according to a UK survey.
    Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future. They are typically easy-going and flexible, but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise.

    In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress, Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

    Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.

    If you should stand then who's to guide you?
    If I knew the way I would take you home."

    More about Big-Thinkers

    Big Thinkers are always looking for the next big idea or opportunity. They’re adept at spotting trends and thinking on their feet. Big Thinkers like to jump in and find innovative solutions to complex problems and are good at developing strategies for the future.

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

    Big Thinkers are usually curious, logical and energetic. This chatty group enjoys a good debate and asserting their opinions. Sometimes others may find the way they express their ideas too abrupt or challenging.

    In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Big Thinkers may be rude, critical of others or rebellious. Under extreme stress, Big Thinkers can become preoccupied with unimportant details and lose sight of the 'big picture'.

    Big Thinkers may ignore important details in their plans and overlook the impact their ideas have on the people around them.

    I'm a Peacemaker, might be why I tend to avoid the backroom these days

    * Value personal freedom
    * Particularly sensitive to the feelings of others
    * Think of themselves as steady, gentle and sympathetic
    * Others may mistake their quiet nature for weakness

    More about Peacemakers

    Peacemakers focus on the present and enjoy helping others in practical ways. They are sensitive to the world around them and take quiet joy from people and nature, particularly animals. Peacemakers value close relationships, but it may take time for others to get to know them.

    Peacemakers are the most likely group to say they dislike reading history books, according to a UK survey.

    Peacemakers live by a set of personal values, which they work hard to reflect in their everyday life. They would rather support an activity than organise it. When they do find themselves in leadership positions, they observe quietly and lead by example.

    In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Peacemakers may withdraw and become self-critical. Under extreme stress, Peacemakers may become even more critical of themselves and others and make harsh judgements about minor issues.

    Peacemakers tend to show someone how much they care about them by helping them in a practical way rather than putting their feelings into words.
