Week 5 – What is Your Dominant Personality Archetype?

Mostly A’s
If you are more drawn to the ‘A’ answers your dominant personality type is Warrior. You are comfortable making decisions and like to be being in control of your life. You have strong opinions about right and wrong and you always strive to be the best at what you do. You are happy giving advice and instruction to other people and get a lot of satisfaction out of teaching someone to do something. As a leader or teacher you will teach someone to do something the right way and show them step by step how to do it correctly. Control is your watchword
Mostly B’s
If you answered mostly B to the questions, your dominant personality type is Nomad. You have a chameleon like personality where you can fit in with any situation you choose and can adapt easily to different groups of people. You pick up new jobs and skills easily, you are a jack of all trades and master of none and this is because you don’t have the attention span of a Warrior, you get bored easily and once something has lost your attention, you’re off on the next exciting adventure. As a teacher you are charismatic and always make the lesson interesting and fun. You teach by concept, how someone gets to the answer is irrelevant, there is usually more than one way, it’s the end result which is important, not the process. Change is your watchword
Mostly C’s
Your dominant personality is Settler if C’s came up most often for you. You are all about people, families are very important as are friendships and you are the person who always remembers to send a birthday card or phone someone if they have been ill to check how they are. You are very good with children and people in general, putting their feelings above your own needs, you have a tendency to put everyone else first. You are great in a caring role, if someone in the family is ill, you will be the one running around making home made chicken soup, getting blankets and making them comfortable on the sofa in front of the TV. You don’t understand why people are horrible sometimes, you would never intentionally upset someone and if you know you have, it will worry you. You avoid conflict and if there is conflict in the family, you wont rest until you have got them to make up and be happy again. People is your watchword.
