DO YOU KNOW YOURSELF (ANALYSIS)


There are no Right or Wrong answers. Based on a count of the number of times you have selected (a) as an answer or (b) etc., it will point to your character type. Five or more answers of a particular alphabet will place you quite definitely in that category.
If your responses are scattered, you have a little bit of each character type as many people find they have.

“A” Personality: In all likelihood, you are energetic, capable and outgoing. It could be that you tend to be bossy but you are also considered a leader. You know a strong feeling of responsibility towards those around you and are an ideal traveler. Setbacks in life do not break your spirit and you enjoy challenges.

“B” Personality: You are usually gregarious and good company. You like fun and are usually eager to help others. You probably dislike being alone; perhaps you are a bit conceited and can be prone to exaggerate. Probably you are fond of the opposite sex and your affections tend to vacillate so that some people may think you are fickle.

“C” Personality: These characteristics mark the “Lone Wolf” the individualist who is also often a rebel. There is probably a tendency to hide your real feelings behind a mask and you dislike change if imposed by others, although you enjoy it when you make changes yourself. Many C Personalities are creative and find inner peace more in solitude than with crowds.

“D” Personality: You are very likely to be happy, self – contained and home loving. You appear cautious and can often be over anxious. In all probability, you are fair, loyal and greatly influenced by the opinion of others.
Often you find yourself imposed upon because you are sympathetic and willing. Travel is not one of your life’s objectives. You may talk about travel and take a trip but you are happy to be back on home ground again.
