Few people have taken the test so far, so this assumes all four answers are equally likely on every statement. We'll switch to real numbers once enough people have taken it.

The two traits behind this type

Planning style
Decide as I go
Conflict style
Say what I think

You say what comes to mind right away, and you act on what you said straight away.

Rather than making a plan, you decide on the spot, and if you don't like something, you say so right there without softening it.

People see you as decisive and honest. But people who can't keep up with your speed sometimes feel, 'Why do I always hear about things after they're already decided?'

What you're good at

You decide and move without hesitating. You don't hide what you think and you put it straight into action, so even something people have been stuck on for a long time gets a direction quickly once you're involved.

What you often hear

  • “You're so straightforward.”
  • “You could have told me earlier.”

What wears you out

Waiting for everyone to weigh in drains you. When you can already see the answer but the process won't let you move, the frustration grows by the minute: 'Why are we still waiting on this?'

For the people around you

You're honest and open, so people feel at ease around you. But because you often decide and act on your own, the other person may feel, 'There's no room for my opinion.'

Worth trying

Before you decide, ask just once, "What do you think?" Even if you've already made up your mind, asking once makes the other person feel you decided together.

With other types

Easy doesn't mean better. People stay together with someone they clash with far more often than you'd think, and easy relationships often turn dull.
