WHAT ONE ARE YOU?

WHICH OF THESE EIGHT OFFICE PERSONALITIES ARE YOU???

Recently, T-Mobile in the UK hired a psychologist to interview its employees . . . to better understand how workers interact with one another. The results determined that ALL workers take on one of EIGHT distinct office personalities:

#1.) The Mother Hen: Nurturing, warm, approachable. The Mother Hen is who everyone in the office goes to for advice . . . or for a shoulder to cry on after the boss tears you a new one.

#2.) The Joker: Sociable, carefree, witty. This person uses humor to get their point across and is well-liked. The Joker's main role is to lighten the mood and to lift team morale.

#3.) The Dude: Unfazed, calming, relaxed. Nothing bothers this person, and they never get flustered . . . even when everything is falling apart. The Dude doesn't transfer stress onto other co-workers and is seen as a calming presence in the office.

#4.) The Cheerleader: Enthusiastic, optimistic, motivating. The cheerleader is always encouraging and praising other team members . . . and always gives 100%.

#5.) The Realist: Down to earth, pragmatic, logical. This person sees through the spin and tells it like it is. The Realist is probably sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor.
#6.) The Link: Sociable, flighty, connected. This person knows everyone in the office, and their social connections are just as important as the actual work.

#7.) The Geek: Technically-minded, fastidious, quiet. This person pays exceptional attention to detail, and is the most likely to see a project through to completion.

#8.) The Innovator: Creative, idealistic, resourceful. This person is all about the big picture and finding new ways to do things. But they don't get bogged down in the details . . . or worry about how to make their ideas work from a practical standpoint. (New York Times)
