WORK PERSONALITY

The Perfectionist

You want to get things exactly right. You're

idealistic, critical and judgmental. You

make decisions with the thought that there

is only one correct way to do it. Upright,

fastidious and high energy, you have a

tendency to nit-pick and micro-manage, but

you ultimately blame yourself more than

others. You have a clear vision of the way

things should be.

Good jobs for Perfectionists: Preacher,

teacher, quality control manager, architect,

dentist, tailor or lecturer

Famous Perfectionists: Hilary Clinton,

Laura Schlesinger, Rudy Giuliani, Al Gore

and Martha Stewart

The Helper

Sweet, sensitive, helpful and sometimes

humble, your road to power and influence

involves making yourself indispensable to

others. Think Joan on 'Mad Men,' or a

Jewish or Italian mother. You are

relationship-oriented. Although you can be

manipulative, you are also inspirational and

bring out the best in others.

Good jobs for Helpers: Customer service,

therapy, sales, public relations and health

care

Famous Helpers: Mister Rogers, Joseph

Biden, Isaac Mizrahi, Kelly Ripa, Katy

Perry, Kendra Wilkinson and Sarah Palin

The Producer

Enthusiastic, efficient, high-performing and

competitive, you are a can-do person who

wants to be known for getting the job done.

You can be seen as a charismatic leader,

or as superficial and insensitive. You're a

good team player and motivator, and you're

very proud of your accomplishments. You

know how the world works and you know

what to do about it. America is a “Producer"

country, according to Goldberg.

Good Jobs for Producers: Executive,

politician, coach, administrator, sales

manager, self-help author and

entrepreneur

Famous Producers: Donald Trump,

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Billy Mayes, Tony

Robbins and Oprah Winfrey

The Connoisseur

You love the beautiful, the true, the

obscure and the unusual. You're romantic,

creative, a bit melancholy, and can

sometimes be elitist. You often make

decisions based on feeling. Some people

see you as snooty, acerbic and critical, but

you prefer to describe yourself as a patron

of the arts and the finer things in life,

elegant and tasteful.

Good jobs for Connoisseurs: Artist,

critic, columnist, designer, fiction writer,

actor, song writer/performer -- creative

people of any kind

Famous Connoisseurs: Ralph Lauren,

Robert Downey, Jr., Francis Ford Coppola,

Anne Rice, Amy Winehouse and Angelina

Jolie

The Sage

You like to be slightly removed from the

rest, so you can watch the world from a

safe distance while collecting facts,

theories and information. You are

independent and self-sufficient, and are

sometimes considered distant. You can be

brilliant, intense and committed.

Good Jobs for Sages: Scientist,

researcher, analyst, entrepreneur, advisor

or writer

Famous Sages: Bill Gates, Warren Buffet,

Buddha, Barack Obama, Michell Pfeiffer,

Tim Burton and Garrison Keillor

The Troubleshooter

You spend more time worrying about what

could go wrong rather than dreaming about

what is going right. At best you're uber-

prepared, at worst you're paranoid. You're

better on the defensive team than the

offensive team. You're faithful, intuitive and

committed, but you also tend to fret.

Goldberg says Catholicism is a very

“Troubleshooter" faith. You're great at

figuring out hidden motives and agendas.

Good jobs for Troubleshooters: Military,

police, detective, spy, professor, strategic

planner, risk analyst, news analyst

Famous Troubleshooters: John Stewart,

Spike Lee, Oliver Stone, Larry David, Ellen

Degeneres, Sarah Silverman, Glenn Beck

and Keith Olberman

The Visionary

Engaging, energetic and upbeat, you can

be optimistic to a fault. You're a great

networker, and you see things in terms of

the best possible outcome. Sometimes you

get so caught up in how things could be

that you're unaware of how things are, and

people can view you as irresponsible and

narcissistic because of that. You prefer to

be called an idealist.

Good jobs for Visionaries: Consultant,

inventor, futurist, humorist, theoretical

scientist, author or any role that involves

mental inspiration and encouragement

Famous Visionaries: John F. Kennedy,

Richard Branson, Robin Williams, Cindy

Lauper, Cameron Diaz, Bette Midler and

Regis Philbin

The Top Dog

Power and control are your main goals,

and you have the energy and cunning to

achieve them. You never run from a fight or

confrontation -- in fact, sometimes you

seek them out. Nothing can keep you down

for long, and you're capable of building an

empire, but you are surprisingly protective

and nurturing of the underdogs in your

domain.

Good jobs for Top Dogs: Manager, real

estate developer, director, commodities

broker, prize fighter, political leader and

athlete

Famous Top Dogs: Rupert Murdock, John

McCain, Rachel Maddow, Mike Tyson,

Mike Ditka, Rosie O'Donnell, Queen

Latifah, Roseanne Barr and Courtney Love

The Mediator

Confrontation and discord are your worst

enemies, so you have become adroit at

placating and pacifying. You are calm and

good at compromise, and generally serve

as the peacemaker in heated situations.

You're in touch with the feelings of the

group. Some people see you as

ambiguous and indecisive.

Good Jobs for Mediators: Diplomat,

postal worker, manager, therapist, human

resource expert and mediator

Famous Mediators: Ronald Reagan,

Queen Elizabeth II, Julia Child, Jennifer

Aniston, Matthew Broderick, Ringo Starr,

Placido Domingo and Adam Sandler
