The Results

You’d rather stay at work late than go out for drinks after work with your co-workers. You’re the boss’ favourite because you’re a hard worker and truly care about your job and the company.

The People Pleaser (Mostly Bs)

You like making everyone in the office happy and you get along with everyone in the office. You’re kind and have the best and honarable intentions. Make sure you’re not expending too much of your energy and time to help others though, because this can have a negative imoact on your career and wellbeing. 

The Just Enough Guy/Girl (Mostly Cs)

You do just enough to keep your job. The best part about the job for you is lunchtime and going out for drinks after work with your work buddies.  You’re just happy you have something to pay the bills so you can enjoy your personal life. You may also view your current role as just a stepping stone to a better job.

The Complainer (Mostly Ds)

No matter what happens in the office you will always find something to complain about. You’re the one that leaves passive aggressive notes and emails to your co-workers when someone forgets to put a plate in the dishwasher or moan about the temperature of the office every 2 minutes. When it comes to doing your job you’ll do what’s required with a little complaining here and there.

The Joker (Mostly Es)

You play an integral part in the office and that’s to make everyone’s day bearable with a laugh. You use all forms of humour from dark to dry and you manage to make everyone crack a smile, even the office complainer.
