The quiz takes just 5 minutes and you’ll get a page packed full of useful information describing your personality traits.

It focuses on four big chunks of personality where most people have a preference, such as tending to look at the detail in a situation or to focus on the bigger picture. By selecting your preferences in these four areas you are connected to one of 16 different personality types. This can help you to be more aware of your natural strengths and offers a starting point for thinking about learning and careers.
