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

Energy source
Recharge with others
Conflict style
Give way first

You get energy from being with people, and the first thing you check is whether everyone there is comfortable.

If someone is left out of the conversation, you start talking to them, and if someone looks uncomfortable, you quietly offer them a different seat.

Everyone likes you. But because you're busy looking after everyone, there are many days you come home without having really enjoyed yourself.

What you're good at

In a group, you make sure no one is left out. You enjoy being among people while paying attention to each person, so gatherings you're at feel comfortable for everyone.

What you often hear

  • “You take care of everyone.”
  • “Have some fun yourself, too.”

What wears you out

Your most tiring days are the ones you spend looking after everyone. It was fun at the time, but back home you ask yourself, 'What did I actually do today?', and realize there was no time at all for yourself.

For the people around you

You always make sure the other person is comfortable among people. But because you're kind to everyone, someone close to you may wonder, 'Am I just the same as everyone else to them?'

Worth trying

At a gathering, try talking with just one person for a long time. Instead of looking after everyone equally, you need some time talking deeply with one person to enjoy the gathering yourself.

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.
