However, some things are too serious to be taken light-heartedly I do try to adopt a light-hearted approach to life in general I would not describe myself as a light-hearted person Are you getting the most out of life?

Hopefully I believe that I am I do not believe that I am How easy is it for you to sit back and relax? Sometimes it is more difficult than at other times Easy Not at all easy 46 Personality Tests How often do you feel frustrated about wanting to do more?

Sometimes Rarely or never Almost all the time If you were to step back and take stock of your life, which of the following would be most applicable? Reasonably satisfied but still feel that I could achieve much more I would count my blessings that I have had more ups than downs in my life I would feel somewhat angry with myself that I have not made more of my life Do you often feel pleased with yourself?

Your score indicates that you are content with your life and therefore you are likely to have happiness and inner peace. It is this happiness that rubs off on those around you, especially your immediate family. Even if contentment in some people means that they lack the ambition and drive of others, this is no reason to change their How Content Are You?

If they are content, then there is no reason to change, as increased success does not necessarily bring with it increased happiness. Remember the story of the man who was only happy when he was fishing. Fishing was all he ever thought about; he went fishing morning, noon and night and, as a result, he was always happy.

You are in the fortunate position of having found your own niche in life. You are happy and content with your lot, and that must be the envy of many people. Although you do not lack ambition, you would never wish to pursue these ambitions at the risk of jeopardizing not just your own happiness and settled lifestyle, but of those nearest and dearest to you.

There is, however, often a feeling at the back of your mind that you could achieve more, and at times you find this a little frustrating. Despite this you do find that in general your aspirations have been fulfilled and there is, therefore, no real reason for change even if a host of other people such as friends, parents, teachers and co-workers are eager to tell you what you should do with your life.

It is, after all, your life, and these goals only matter when they matter to you, and you are, therefore, the foremost expert in defining which path your own life should take. Less than 25 points Your score does indicate that you are in the main somewhat discontented with your life. Perhaps you feel exasperated that you have not fulfilled your ambitions or yet realized your full potential.

Maybe you think that life is all too short and that you have insufficient time to do all the things you always wanted to do. Perhaps you have a job that you really do not enjoy, and while you are at your place of work you are thinking of all the other 48 Personality Tests things you could be doing that really interest and stimulate you, or perhaps you are just going through one of those difficult and stressful periods in your life that all of us, from time to time, experience.

If this is the case, then now might be a good time to step back and take stock of your life, and look especially at all the positive aspects. Ask yourself what you have achieved. Maybe you have a steady job and a stable family life — in themselves no mean achievement. Perhaps you have a sport or hobby that you enjoy, and could devote more time to. Any one of these is something to be thankful for, rather than a cause for despondency.

All in all, there are many things in our lives for which we can be thankful, and there is always someone worse off than ourselves. If you are able to focus on these positives, no matter how trivial or insignificant they may seem, then there is every chance that you will begin to find the inner peace and satisfaction that seems to have so eluded you in the past.

Although we should always try to plan for the future, we can only truly be happy right now. If you do enjoy the present and make the most of what you have now, then there is every chance that this will create in itself a much better future. When shopping for yourself, do you prefer to shop alone or with your partner? Have you ever owned or wanted to own a dog? I prefer to be with my partner No preference really I prefer to shop alone when I am buying things for myself No Yes Yes, I have a dog at present, and have had other dogs in the past Do you believe the country would be a better place if you were in charge?

No Maybe Yes 50 Personality Tests 4. The thought of which of the following would horrify you the most? Do you prefer to be in charge of the television remote control? No Not really, it is usually just left lying around for anyone to use Yes You have just met someone in your former place of work, which you left 12 months ago. Which of the following responses would most please you when you asked them how things were at the old place?

How would you react to this? I would be very turned on by the suggestion A little surprised, but would play along Quite taken aback and somewhat uneasy about the situation Are You a Control Freak? You find that people suddenly start referring to you by your initials, for example PJ instead of Philip.

How do you feel about this? You and your partner, who are both able to drive, go out together in the same car. Who would you prefer to be driving? Do you always let people finish what they are saying, or do you frequently find yourself interrupting them or finishing off their sentences for them? I usually let them finish I suppose that occasionally I may interrupt them or finish off what they are saying I admit that I do frequently interrupt or finish off their sentences for them 52 Personality Tests Which of the following words best describes you?

I hope not Maybe on occasions I have to say that I do If you miss a telephone call and call for the number, do you always phone that number back to see what the caller wanted? Not usually, unless it is someone I really want to speak to or they are returning my call Only occasionally, and then only if I recognize the number Yes, I almost always call the number back whether I recognize the number or not Would you call yourself a faddish eater?

No No, but others have called me a faddish eater on occasions If that means having the willpower to give up something I enjoy eating, because it might not be organically good for me, then yes, I am a faddish eater Are you interested in finding out as much as you can about all the people you know? Do you spend a lot of time on your appearance? Not really Not a lot of time, but I do take pride in my appearance Yes, the way I appear and the way people see me is very important to me Have you ever played matchmaker?

Never Once More than once Do you prefer to hold a dinner party or to be invited to one? Invited No preference Hold You are carefree and single and see someone you are very attracted to at a party. Which of the following would you prefer to happen before the end of the evening? Do you believe in pre-nuptial agreements? Do you ever feel stressed because you are not in control? Never or rarely Occasionally More than occasionally Are you generally satisfied with your lot in life?

Yes Fairly satisfied No, I aspire for more Analysis Control is something most of us long for in our lives, and many of us will go to great lengths to achieve it. However, some will go to much greater lengths than others. There are many ways in which control-freakery can manifest itself, whether it is being fussy or over-fussy in the type of food we eat, controlling the way we look, even sometimes to the extent of undergoing plastic surgery, and planning ahead for all eventualities, by even, sometimes, making pre-nuptial agreements.

For many people, having more control, not just over their own lives but of those around them, means they feel less stress, although this can have the reverse effect if and when it is brought home to them how little in fact they do control. Are You a Control Freak? In general, the control freak has a need to be in control, and this could mean a fear of not being in control.

In extreme cases, this fear could manifest itself in the need to try to control people with sarcasm or even bullying. Whilst this may mean that you feel in control of your life and thus not so prone to stress as many others, it may be necessary to curb these tendencies somewhat before you become too obsessed with imposing your own desires, tastes and lifestyle on the world around you; in other words, before your desire to be in charge gets out of hand.

We cannot expect the world to revolve around us; therefore, it is often necessary to go with the flow. It is likely that one of your chief priorities is to live in harmony with others and that you hold the belief that two heads are better than one, also that a problem shared is a problem halved, and that joint decisions are much more effective than those reached unilaterally.

Less than 20 points You are most certainly not a control freak; in fact, just the reverse. This means that in the main you are likely to have a relaxed attitude towards life in general and are happy to go with the flow. The only problem is that you could be susceptible to being controlled, or even dominated by others. You should ensure, therefore, that your behaviour is not manipulated by others and remember at all times that you are your own person, and that the way you live and plan your life is ultimately your own decision.

Do you like to keep abreast with the latest technology? Do you constantly seek new hobbies and ventures? Not particularly To a certain extent Yes Not really, as any hobbies I have are things that I have been involved in, and have interested me, for many years Not particularly, although the occasional new interest may present itself to me Yes, I believe that every so often you just move onto new things Do you go to new holiday places each year?

No, I usually go to the same place each year Not each year as we have a few different favourite places that we like to alternate between Usually 58 Personality Tests 4.

Which of these is the most important to you? Do you tend to hoard things? Yes Perhaps No Is there a particular era in the past where they played your kind of music? Do you believe there ever comes a time in life when you should just grow old gracefully? Yes Perhaps No Which of these most closely represents your thoughts on 1 January? Would fond memories of living happily in the same home for many years prevent you from moving onto pastures new if you had the opportunity?

Yes It would depend very much on what the pastures new were No Which of the following is most important to you? A content and stable family life Live life to the full Continually expand your mind to its full potential When you spend an evening with your nearest and dearest would you prefer to reminisce, or plan for the future? Reminisce Both equally Plan for the future If someone does you a particularly bad turn, do you ever forgive them entirely?

No Not until I have evened the score with them Forget them, rather than forgive Do you have your own web page? Does the thought of new and seemingly complicated technology frighten you? Yes More overwhelms and confuses me than frightens me Not frighten me, but sometimes I cannot rest until I have got to grips with it Which of these most closely represents your attitude to change?

Do you prefer to watch repeats of vintage programmes on television rather than new programmes? Yes Sometimes No What do you think about new fashions in clothing? How easily are you able to move on from personal tragedy? Not at all easily; in fact, it is a very long and difficult process I try to move on in time, although no one fully recovers from a serious personal tragedy or bereavement It is not easy.

However, I do try to put it behind me and get on with the rest of my life as quickly as possible Do you ever visit your old haunts to invoke happy memories and renew old acquaintances?

More than occasionally Occasionally Never or rarely Which of the following do you consider to be your greatest strength? Organized Responsible Energetic How do you feel about the company you work for constantly introducing all the latest technology?

Do you think your schooldays were the happiest days of your life? Yes Not particularly, although I do have some fond memories of my schooldays No Have you ever mastered an item of new technology to the extent that you have shown someone else how to use it?

What this means is that you are likely to be continually looking forward to, and planning for, the future, whatever your age. Change for you is something that need not necessarily be a bad thing; in fact, you are excited by the plans you are continually making and excited about some of the opportunities the future may bring. You are also keenly interested in new technology and have a desire to be involved in any new developments that are taking place and not get left behind. Of course, technological change is now taking place at such a rapid rate that most of us are at least one step behind with the latest gadgets or innovations, so you should not feel frustrated if you suddenly discover that some latest development has escaped your attention, or that the Forward-looking, or Stuck in a Time Warp 63 computer you bought six months ago is suddenly no longer the most powerful model.

Your philosophy is that you should never go back, and that in life we should be continually moving forward irrespective of age. It is these experiences that enable us to live for today and give us a foundation on which to build for the future. Whilst your score does indicate that you are forward-looking and like to make plans for the future, and keep abreast with the latest technology, you are also fond of your memories and of times past.

You are in the happy position of not being afraid of change and the new challenges and new technology that change inevitably brings. You remain optimistic for the future but at the same time somewhat nostalgic for times past. Less than 25 points Oscar Wilde once said that there were two things in life that were certain: death and taxes. Had he been alive today I suspect he would have added a third — change.

Change has always been inevitable, but today changes in lifestyle, attitudes and technology mean that this change is taking place at an even greater rate than ever before. We can either resist this change, in which case we tend to get stuck in a time warp, or we embrace change and move forward with it. It would appear that you are quite resistant to change and not particularly interested in moving forward at the rate this change is occurring.

The indications are also that you are not particularly interested in new technology, but this may be because you find the prospect of getting to grips with it somewhat overwhelming. Because you tend to look back at what you considered the better times, you are probably something of a sentimentalist. The 64 Personality Tests time in your life that you look back on the most is likely to be a particular era when a change in your life occurred for the better. If, however, you change your philosophy just a little and consider the good things that are happening right now, this will give you more encouragement to look forward to the future with a more optimistic outlook, and you may then find that the pattern will repeat itself, and in years to come you look back on the current era with the same degree of sentimentality that you have now for times past.

Also, remember that we, all of us, are never too old to learn. Whilst technological advances are taking place at a rapid rate, in the majority of cases these technological advances are made for the purpose of enriching our lives, and we can either be part of this life-enriching process, or we can ignore it and not reap the benefits it provides.

Which of the following is your favourite type of music? A day when people who are falling in love or dating buy each other cards and presents A romantic day when you always buy your loved one a card and a present A day when people make a quick buck selling cards, flowers and chocolates at inflated prices Anything as long as it is lively and has a beat Romantic music, be it jazz, classical or pop Anything as long as it is loud and brassy or stirring After an argument with your partner would you buy them a gift to make it up, even though you did not believe it was you that was at fault?

Maybe Yes No way 66 Personality Tests 4. If your work colleague was on a final warning for careless work, would you take the blame for them to prevent them from being sacked after yet another error? Do you feel sorry for beggars in the street? Yes Yes, and I often give them money No Would you ever give a stray dog or cat a home?

It would all depend. Under those circumstances would you take a couple of days off to spend some much-needed quality time with your partner? Do you always tell your partner about any of their habits that you find annoying?

Then a close friend asks you to help out at a charity event they have organized. You know that they have taken too much on and have no one else to turn to. What would you do? Tell your friend you will help them out if it is absolutely necessary but also explain about your plans to see the pop concert Help them out and cancel your visit to the pop concert, and not even tell your friend you had something else planned Under the circumstances I could not miss the once-in-alifetime opportunity to see my favourite pop star Your partner seems tired and preoccupied about something.

How do you react? Say nothing immediately, but after a day or so, if they appear no better ask them if they are feeling OK Tell them you are worried about them and ask if everything is OK Say nothing in the belief they will soon snap out of it If you saw someone fall full length in a crowded street, how would you react?

Watch to make sure they get up and walk on or that someone nearer than you goes to their assistance I would instinctively run to their aid Probably do nothing but hope they are OK 68 Personality Tests Do you usually feel sorry for the underdog? Sometimes Usually Not particularly Have you ever written someone a love letter? Occasionally More than occasionally Rarely or never What would be your idea of the perfect romantic evening in with someone you were dating? A meal, a sexy movie and some intimate passion for afters A meal, comfortable sofa and a slushy movie Supper and breakfast Do you often buy your partner presents?

Not often, but I never forget birthdays and Christmas Yes, I like to surprise my partner with presents whenever I can Not as often as I should Do you feel sorry for celebrities who are being vilified in the press?

Occasionally More than occasionally Never or rarely How easy is it for you to say no when asked for a favour?

I have no problem if I feel the favour being asked is an impossible one or is unreasonable Difficult Not difficult How Soft-centred Are You? Late at night you turn on the news channel and hear about a little dog trapped down a well, which a team of firefighters is trying to rescue.

Which of the following would most apply to you the following morning? You would probably go about your usual routine, but might remember the story sometime during the day and mention it to a work colleague or acquaintance to see if they had heard whether it had been rescued The dog would be on your mind so much that you would tune into the news channel as soon as you got up, to try to find out if it had been rescued Probably do nothing as you would have forgotten all about it How often do you tell someone some home truths?

Occasionally Never or rarely More than occasionally Have you ever found tears streaming down your face when watching a sad movie or something sad on television? On rare occasions More than on rare occasions No Have you ever cried with emotion because you felt so happy for someone other than yourself? Only on very rare occasions More than on very rare occasions No 70 Personality Tests Which of the following qualities do you think is most essential for a successful long-term relationship?

A good family life Caring and sharing Dynamic and continually stimulating Which of the following represents your immediate reaction when first seeing breaking news footage on television of a heinous act of terrorism? Have you ever found tears streaming down your face because of the emotion of watching a movie or something on television with a wonderfully happy ending? Do you believe your heart rules your head or your head rules your heart? How Soft-centred Are You?

Because you are such a soft-centred and caring person this does mean that you are liked and respected by others. However, it also means that sometimes you may be taken advantage of, especially if you find it difficult, almost impossible, to say no.

The advantage of this is that you are still tough enough to realize your ambitions whilst retaining the loving and caring side of your personality. Like a great many people you are a real softy at heart. Keywords: loving, empathetic, confident Less than 25 points Whilst your score does indicate that you are more of a hard nut than someone who is soft-centred, it may be that beneath this apparent hard exterior there lies something of a soft centre.

It may be that this apparent hard exterior is, in fact, something of an act because you do not wish to be perceived as being soft, or display weakness. At the same time, you cannot in any way be described as a romantic or sentimentalist. However, this does not stop you from 72 Personality Tests having a long and loving relationship and secure family life, and people will respect you and take you for what you are, and admire your honesty.

Whilst you do not lack honesty, it may be beneficial, not just for yourself, but for those around you, to always keep in mind the feelings of others and to try to empathize with them. Keywords: pragmatic, dispassionate, taciturn 73 10 Attitude In each of the following, choose from a scale of 1—5 which of these statements you most agree with or is most applicable to you. Choose just one of the numbers 1—5 in each of the 25 statements.

I am proud of my nationality 5 2. I continually look forward to, and plan for, the future 5 6. There are very few people I know that I would not trust 5 4 3 2 1 I forgive and forget as quickly as possible 5 4 3 2 1 I am always frank and candid about who I am and what I believe in 5 4 3 2 1 Attitude 75 I channel all my energies into making a good job of what I am doing 5 4 3 2 1 I am happy when others like and respect me 5 4 3 2 1 I am angry when people or groups of people become stereotyped 5 4 3 2 1 I do not tend to complain a lot 5 4 3 I am eager to please others 5 4 3 It is unusual for me to stand or walk with my hands in my pockets 5 4 3 2 1 I am anxious to learn about the beliefs of other people 5 4 3 2 1 I strive to keep myself fit and in good shape 5 4 3 2 1 76 Personality Tests In general we make our own luck 5 4 3 2 1 I smile more than most other people I know 5 4 3 2 1 I keep a tidy house and garden at all times 5 4 3 2 1 Attitudes are formed in many different ways, for example having direct experience with people and events, and the influences in our lives, such as parents, with whom many people hold the same beliefs.

Our attitude is something that is noticed by other people more than ourselves. It is, however, very wide-ranging, and very difficult to define. Another definition of attitude is the explanation of the actions of a person due to how that person feels about something, for example consciously held beliefs or opinions and emotional feelings.

Sometimes, Attitude 77 attempts at changing the attitude of an individual may work, or they may have the reverse effect, in which the attitude is changed but in an opposite direction to that intended. In this way your attitudes will reveal to others who and what you are, and what you believe in.

Someone, for example, who feels inadequate in the workplace may try to make someone else appear more inadequate or inferior as a way of shielding his or her own feelings of inadequacy from the scrutiny of others. Assessment Total score 90— You have a very good attitude to life in general. This means that you are not only positive, but also enthusiastic about all the tasks you undertake. This positive attitude is noticed by others, and will stand you in good stead both in your business and private life.

There is no need for change. Even though you do not have an attitude problem, far from it, it may be a useful exercise from time to time to carry out a self-analysis to consider not just your attitude to any tasks you perform, but also your attitude to others in our society and the wider world.

Total score less than 65 Attitude is increasingly important in modern living. When we go into a shop we expect the person behind the counter to be not only enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the product he or she is selling, but also to go out of his or her way to be helpful and to be anxious to please the customer.

The keyword here is enthusiasm, and it is this enthusiasm for living that the person with the right attitude will convey to others. Your score indicates that in certain, but not necessarily all, respects you may have an attitude problem, and it may therefore be worth analysing your score on the individual questions within this test, especially where you have indicated a score of 3 or less.

It is in these areas that perhaps your attitude needs to be considered and worked upon. As our attitudes are often formed by external influences it may be worth considering whether such influences are present, and if these influences are negative, how they can be changed so that your negative attitude can be reversed.

The more we understand about our own attitudes and beliefs, the more chance we have of changing our negative attitudes to more positive ones. If you break a mirror, how concerned are you that it will bring bad luck? More than occasionally Very rarely or never Occasionally Quite concerned Not concerned in the slightest Slightly concerned When you take part in any sort of contest, do you expect to win?

Not usually Yes, I usually expect to win I like to win, but realize that I will sometimes come out second best 80 Personality Tests 4. How often have you chased your losses at gambling? Do you believe that in life there is the ideal partner for everyone? Give up Try again Try, try and try again Do you always feel that it will be possible to achieve your goals in life?

Only in fairy stories Yes Some people, but not everyone Do you consider that your cup of life is half full, or half empty? Never More than once or twice Perhaps once or twice Less than usually Yes Usually Do you agree that every dog has its day? Disagree Strongly agree Partly agree Optimist or Pessimist? After adversity, how quickly are you able to pick yourself up and dust yourself down?

Not very quickly Almost immediately Fairly quickly How often do you lose sleep through worrying? More than occasionally Rarely or never Occasionally How confident are you usually that you have made the correct decision when faced with a choice? Not at all confident Usually fairly confident I worry about it a little perhaps If you had a bad dose of flu would you see the doctor?

Probably No Doubtful Do you believe in keeping your aspirations low, so as to avoid disappointment? Yes No Sometimes Do you feel secure financially? No Yes Most of the time 82 Personality Tests Do you believe that when one door closes another opens? No, life is not that simple Yes Sometimes Do you believe that your friends will never let you down? Unfortunately not Yes, usually Not sure Is it your philosophy that there will always be calm after the storm, or storm after the calm?

Storm after the calm Calm after the storm Both, as life is full of ups and downs How long does it take you to count your blessings? Not long I could almost go on forever counting them About the same time as most other people I suppose Do you expect to live to a ripe old age?

Not particularly Yes I hope so Optimist or Pessimist? Do you believe your next big break is just around the corner? Would you take out a large mortgage, confident you would be able to make the repayments? I might, but it would worry me greatly Yes Yes, but it would worry me somewhat Do you believe that bad news always comes in threes? Usually If it does, then it is always balanced out when good news comes in threes It does sometimes Do you worry about flying?

Usually Rarely or never Sometimes Do you believe there is an afterlife? No Yes I hope there is but I am not sure When you buy a lottery ticket or scratch card, do you expect to win? Do you believe in the ultimate triumph of good over evil? If you were stranded on a desert island, how would you rate your chances of being rescued? I would probably resign myself to never being rescued, but retain that slight glimmer of hope I would know in my heart of hearts that one day I would be rescued I would just hope for the best and try to survive in the meantime How often have you applied to become a contestant on a quiz show with aspirations of winning loads-a-money?

Not for you sleepless nights worrying about things that may never happen; instead, you tend to look on the bright side whatever happens and firmly believe that every Optimist or Pessimist? You realize that life is a roller coaster, but roller coaster rides can be quite exciting and stimulating, and hopefully the high points will exceed the low points, and this is what really counts in the end. Although you do not appear to be a pessimist, perhaps something to be learned from the eternal optimist is that we should not worry so much.

Remember that most of the things that we do worry about in life never happen anyway, so why worry about them until they actually do happen? Less than 27 points Although you might describe yourself as a realist, you appear to be a born pessimist.

While this does not make you a worse person, and you can still be successful and make many friends, it does mean that you are probably seen by others as a negative person, and that you suffer from a great deal of inner turmoil and unnecessary sleepless nights. It may be that this is a way of creating your own defensive shield against the consequences of what the future may bring. If it turns out better than expected then you will feel good, but if it turns out badly you will not feel let down, as you have already prepared yourself for the worst.

Instead, try to put negative thoughts to the back of your mind. Try instead to think of the positive aspects of your life. If you can do this, and admittedly it is easier said than done and may take a great deal of effort on your part, you will start to reap the benefits, not just in your well-being and state of health, but by an improved outlook on life in general.

In each of the following, rank the four statements in each group according to which is most applicable to you, which is least applicable, and which of the remaining two are next most applicable and next least applicable.
