Vad har du för personlighet? Testa själv!

I måndags hörde jag en väldigt intressant föreläsning om hur ens personlighet kan påverka arbetet i en grupp och lite exempel på olika arbetsroller och hur de personer som jobbar med detta ligger till. Har idag försökt hitta en onlinevariant av detta test, men inte lyckats än. Däremot hittade jag ett annat test nedan, som jag (efter två omgångar för säkerhets skull) kan konstatera passar ganska bra på mig. Slängde iväg testet till en kollega som också verkade passa väl in på sin "roll" om jag jämför den förklarande texten med hur jag känner honom...

Gör gärna testet själv och lägg en rad om hur du tycker det stämmer på dig!

What do your results mean?

According to your score you often choose to fulfill the role of Networker in a group. You likely have a wide circle of friends and business contacts that you can reach out to when your team needs advice or information.

Description of the role

Networkers are the individuals who "know people". They have innumerable contacts and are specialists when it comes to collecting and gathering information. Essentially, Networkers are skilled researchers who know how and where to get the information and resources their team requires. Being good communicators and extroverts, Networkers tend to be social individuals that can make others feel at ease. Using their personality as a means of gaining knowledge and developing useful contacts, Networkers have a knack for exploring opportunities.

They seem to always be working, even when out with friends or on vacation. Enthusiastic and overflowing with energy, Networkers are constantly adding to their circle of contacts. They don't just gather information; they also disperse it. Networkers promote the projects they are associated with and publicize them whenever it is useful to do so. Networkers do not only work with outside contacts, they also work within their group. Networkers often gather information about their teammates - information on their motivators, aspirations, needs, hobbies, etc. This information can be useful to the group and can help it to move forward in many situations.

Strengths of the Role

Networkers help get the word out. They are the publicists in the group and they make sure that the team's work gets the respect and admiration it deserves from other groups in and outside the organization. Networkers tend to be confident. They are comfortable starting conversations with relative strangers and acquaintances and are not afraid to ask questions that will help a team's cause.

Weaknesses of the Role

Networkers may appear scattered. Goal-oriented team members may feel distracted by the Networkers constant movement and chitchat over the phone or in person. Although generally these communications are serving a purpose, the distraction it can cause might be counterproductive.
