Cool Personality test - BBC

Did anyone watch the BBC thing on different personalities. If interested check out the website (if still up) www.bbc.co.uk/science and go for the personality test.


I was Spontaneous, Ideas, Heads and Introverted -no surprise there. It is in 4 parts and they tell you in the end what group you belong to. Typically I have already forgoteen but I don't think absent minded was in the categories!!!! I need another holiday, obviously.

They did say actually. One bit at the end said these are the people who sometimes forget to go shopping etc. Very true!! Or I come home with everything else but not what I originally went out for!

Value personal freedom
Particularly sensitive to the feelings of others

It looks like I am the complete opposite of you Veggie.

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


Summary of Supervisors
Bring order to their home and work life
Like to act on clear, achievable goals
Think of themselves as stable, practical and sociable
May be irritated when people don't follow procedures
More about Supervisors
Supervisors like to make plans, organise people and get things done efficiently. They are natural administrators who dislike chaos and strive to bring order to every aspect of their lives. Supervisors like jobs where the goals are clearly defined and there are proven work methods in place.


Supervisors are most likely to say they prefer a job which involves a series of separate projects, according to a UK survey.
Supervisors use logic to solve problems and believe in being open and direct in their communications with others. They prefer to work and socialise with like-minded people.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Supervisors may reject the opinions of others and insist they are right. Under extreme stress, Supervisors may feel cut off from the people around them and lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Because they like to take charge and organise activities, others may find Supervisors too bossy.

Supervisor Careers
Supervisors are often drawn to jobs in management or administration that require logical planning

I'm a PROVIDER!!! Figures

Planner/Facts/Hearts/Extrovert.

And the summary fit me to a T

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


Summary of Providers
Warm, caring people who value order and tradition
Loyal workers who follow through on commitments
Think of themselves as sympathetic, easy-going and steady
They don't feel comfortable with radical change
More about Providers
Providers like to make plans with other people and then to work with them towards achievable goals in a fun, harmonious environment. They support people that are important to them and respect their individuality.


Provider is the most common personality type for women in the UK, according to a nationwide survey.
Providers have traditional values and support order and responsible behaviour. They enjoy social events, particularly family celebrations, and often help plan them. Providers work hard to avoid conflict, but they will state their beliefs when they think it is suitable.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Providers may doubt their abilities and focus solely on the needs of other people. Under extreme stress, Providers may withdraw completely and become excessively critical of themselves and others.

Providers prefer warm, face-to-face communication and often express their ideas by telling stories from their own lives.

Provider Careers
Providers are often drawn to jobs in education, health care or religion.

I'm a performer too and although it's a weird name the description seems OK
1 Spontanaeous, 2 facts, 3 heart, 4 extrovert.
I like the fact you can be any combination because often if you are 1,3 and 4 they think you are creative and I'm not vastly.
