Find out with the 'What Am I Like?' Personality test.



This test is 20 questions long and should take about 10 minutes
It is made up of four sets of five questions and you will find out about a different aspect of your personality after every five questions
At the end of the test you will be assigned one of 16 possible personality types
This personality test can't tell you exactly what you are like. No survey can predict personality type with 100 % accuracy. Experts say we should use personality type descriptions to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results
The test was developed for the television programme 'What Am I Like? The Personality Test'
It is a simplified personality test based on personality type theory, devised by psychologists

        * Can be tough-minded when necessary

        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 are most likely to say they dislike reading poetry books, according to a UK survey.

        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.

      Your answers suggest you are a Mastermind
      The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

      Planner/Ideas/Heads/Introvert

      Summary of Masterminds
      Visionaries who put energy into achieving their goals
      Prefer to work independently and dislike inefficiency
      Think of themselves as logical, thorough, and bright
      Values practicality and common sense above ideas and theories

      More about Masterminds
      Masterminds create a vision for the future by gathering and organising information. They then develop strategies to achieve their goals. They have a rare gift for looking at almost anything and seeing how it can be improved. These skills and the Masterminds' high standards often allow them to reach leadership positions at work.

      Masterminds value independence and prefer to work on their own. Once they have decided on a course of action, Masterminds rarely change their minds, although they can be persuaded by clear reasoning by someone they respect.

      In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Masterminds may cut themselves off from a group and criticize people who don't understand their plans. Under extreme stress, Masterminds may overindulge in sensory experiences like eating, shopping or watching television.

      Masterminds often have an unusual sense of humour, which arises from their ability to spot surprising links between seemingly unconnected facts.

      Mastermind Careers
      Masterminds are drawn to jobs requiring logical analysis or abstract thinking common in science or technical fields.

      I found this little test fascinating the first time I took it, I have since taken it a couple more times, spaced about a month apart, answering truthfully based on how I felt a the time, and revelled in how different a picture it painted of me each time. Nice to see how it tries really hard to compliment my character each time so I leave feeling good about myself.

      I somehow doubt it'll come out and tell me anything like "we think you'are a danger to society, please check yourself into the local authorities - it's all for your own good".

      Oh well, so much for the "you're okay.... and you're okay again" personality test... onto something more interesting now, wherever that is.

    Surprisingly accurate... although it's not really how I thought I viewed myself at first:

    I'm a realist. Really, I guess I am.
