What is Your Office Personality?

Offices are often full of big personalities and quirky characters – take a customized personality quiz today and find out how you stack up against your peers!

You know the type — they are consistently five minutes early to the morning conference call. They always have their reporting in on time, and they seem to work through their vacation days as if wearing a badge of honor. On the other end of the spectrum is that one office compatriot who takes great pleasure in being the office comedian. From planning birthday pranks to showing the latest goofy online video clip to dozens of your peers, there is always going to be “that guy.” These players are easy to spot, but one of the hardest assessments to make is one that requires a bit of self-reflection – specifically, where do you fit in? Until now, determining your role in the office has been a less-than-exact science. But now you can narrow it down and make a much clearer determination as to your office personality by taking a quick quiz that was created by the workplace experts at Pens.com. Once complete, you’ll know whether you’re a historian, politician, workaholic, or other unique character within the workplace.

Suppose you take the quiz and determine that you are a politician. This is a good thing – usually! Being a politician means that you approach conversations with a commanding ease, and you’re likely focused on polishing your skills to be able to climb the corporate ladder. Maybe you find out that you’re a historian. Like the Smithsonian, you are a body of knowledge on a variety of topics, and have positioned yourself as the center of the office. Always ready to collect insider information and to help co-workers to work through difficult or embarrassing situations, you’ve got the office wired… not literally, but we wouldn’t put it past you! Or maybe you’re the office comedian. Making people laugh is your primary job, and that 9-5, 5-days per week schedule provides plenty of opportunity to deliver scorching one liners and elaborate practical jokes. You’re the life of the party and can always be counted on to plan after-hours events.

If you find that you’re a workaholic, you arrive early, leave late, and have little patience for those who don’t do the same. You tear through the red-tape of upper management’s policies and processes, and can always be counted on to speak your mind. After all, you’re pretty much always right! If your results point toward the “work-life balancer,” you tend to play it cool. 9-5 is merely a suggestion, and work is merely something to do between vacations. You still get the job done, though – with a cool, collected approach. Lastly, you might discover that your office personality is that of a stress ball. There is no way to get everything done, time is ticking away, and you simply cannot delegate anything to anyone. It’s your mission to get everything done, and the hours are wasting away. Time to work.

View the Office Personality Types infographic today and see where you fit in. Are you a stress-ball or a work-life balancer? Maybe you’re a bit of both! Once you more fully understand the role you play at work, the better you can interact with your fellow employees. Take the quiz today and then find the perfect products for the comedians, stress cases, and politicians in your field!
