I found this personality test to be quite good. It's pretty accurate.
Here is the test: http://www.chandlermacleod.com/-222354/
I'd like to see your results.
My personality profile:
This style of people are determined go-getters, eager to
get the most out of life. They are strongly driven to achieve success
in the areas of wealth and social standing and they are competitive and
tenacious, while at the same time charming and gregarious. They will
actively aspire to positions of authority, enjoy activity and
excitement, are happy to take the lead and aggressively and vocally
defend their point of view when challenged.
Their aspirations are for status, recognition, and
material reward and they enjoy holding positions of importance, being
esteemed in the eyes of their associates and able to display the
material possessions that denote their success. They love to have the
best office, the best car and clothes of the quality and style that
reflect their importance. They are quick to identify unfairness or
inadequate compensation.
Frustration arises for these people when they are
unable, for whatever reasons, to achieve this kind of material and
social success. This frustration, and indeed how they are feeling in
most situations, is generally evident to other people, since they are
honest in expressing their reactions and not held back by reserve or
shyness. Where they are blocked in their progress towards an attractive
goal, they are prepared to be quite vocal in their criticism of people
who get in their way and can become argumentative and contentious.
They are keen to be the visible leader of the group, and
are comfortable adopting a leadership role even if they have not been
formally designated as such. They are often strong leaders, generally
with a lot of charisma and interpersonal warmth, as well as shrewdness
and the courage of their convictions, and therefore others will
willingly accept them as leaders. They are generally capable in
motivating and enthusing others, building team cohesion and camaraderie,
although they will also feel few qualms about eliminating from their
team those who do not show their allegiance or do not pull their weight.
They tend to quickly become upset where there is interference by an
external authority in their area of work, especially if such
interference constitutes criticism or contradiction of their directives.
In addition, they generally reject, or at least have little respect
for, authority that is not in itself strong, and under an authority that
they consider weak or unsatisfactory, they are likely to be
argumentative.
Their interpersonal style is one of overt confidence,
enjoying being the centre of attention, making decisions, taking action
and leading the way. They are generally not all that sensitive to other
people's feelings and have little sympathy for those who do not keep up.
Roles where they have the opportunity to lead, to
exercise their abilities and compete in order to gain appropriate
rewards, generally hold a lot of appeal. They are likely to take
initiative of their own accord (particularly if there is no firm
leadership in the background), directing others decisively in what they
consider to be the most expedient manner. They tend not to take kindly
to criticism and generally they will find that they need to work hard on
developing self-restraint, so that when they are criticised they do not
take criticism too personally and do not respond with a flash of
temper. Learning such self-restraint is likely to be particularly
beneficial for preserving positive professional and private
relationships since, whilst they may show anger and then calm down
quickly, others will tend to be more permanently affected, remaining
wary and upset after the anger has subsided.
Summary:
This temperament style is motivated by money and power,
but likes to achieve in a people oriented environment, where people
contact, social acceptance and respect are also involved. Positions that
appeal would certainly include the roles of:
Sales Executive; Sales & Marketing Manager; General
Manager; Politician; Distribution Manager; Doctor; Management
Consultant; Recuitment Manager
Recruiter; Professional Sportsperson; Political Advisor
Lol, I got stuck at the first question.
I am very sensitive, it's like one of my main traits, I'm somewhat visual-minded, however I'm not shy nor quietly determined.
I am competitive and openly determined, and mostly verbal-minded, but I'm not that direct.
I guess I failed that test.
People with this temperament style have an abundance of sociability and energy, generally coupled with a competitive outlook, apparent self-confidence, impatience to make things happen and, unless there is a very sound level of self management, they can become argumentative when challenged, vigorously defending their point of view and not always operating on a purely factual basis. They will communicate directly and openly with everyone around them, freely expressing their opinions, whether others want to hear them or not. They want to be the centre of activity, preferably in a leadership position and one that carries with it some authority and prestige.
They will actively seek an outlet for their energies and they will show some intolerance of people who compete with them, especially those who criticise. Their rebuttal will generally be fairly loud and they argue rather than debate. Pressure builds considerably for them where they are not achieving, for it is very important for them to be able to show competence and to perform so that other people will recognise and praise them.
They like to be the focal point of the work group, especially where they have the authority to make things happen. They will display energy and enthusiasm in organising other people, directing the traffic as it were and, when things are going well, they will impact on their subordinate team as enthusiastic, managing the way and giving due recognition and praise to the people who contribute to their success. Their work role should give them an opportunity for both physical and mental activity. Being required to sit in isolation behind a desk handling an administrative workload would not be at all attractive to them.
Because of the abundance of social energy present, coupled with high achievement drive, they can be a very effective member of an enthusiastic work group. Similarly, in team sports they will also be regarded as a valuable member because of their real commitment to winning. Their communication with others in the work group will be highly effective and they are likely to take on a leadership role, even if it is not officially ascribed to them. When things are not going well, however, some of the bonhomie disappears and a lack of integration and a lessening of self-management will see them become more argumentative and aggressive in dealing with people they see as contributing to their difficulties. Very demanding people, they do not tolerate low achievement from others or themselves.
Summary:
This style is attracted to team leadership situations and/or the opportunity to be of benefit to others in a controlling role. Therefore, they should enjoy roles that enable them to coach or manage people or the helping professions such as: Sales Manager; Coach; Medical Professional (Doctor, dentist, etc.); Club Manager; Sports Trainer; Travel Consultant; Human Resource Officer
