what season am i personality quiz

There's something wonderful about personality tests—the idea that you can put yourself into a category (or categories), just like that, is so relieving and self-satisfying.

I'm an introvert and an extrovert!

I'm sensitive, but strong-minded!

I'm destined to marry rich! (Alright, that's my horoscope.)

But it really is a cool concept, and while we can understand that these quizzes will not be completely accurate, a lot of them do provide us with some insight into who we are, how we act, what our potential is, and where our ambition might take us. The more you know and understand about yourself, the more likely you are to find a career path you'll love.

So, if you're looking for some great time wasters, keep scrolling—there's so much you don't know about yourself.

To Find Out Your Overall Personality Type

If you want to go the super broad route, these are the best options to tackle every aspect of who you are in one shot.

2. "Who Am I?"

The "Who Am I" Visual DNA test is also one of the most fun and useful personality quizzes you'll come across. Formatted less like question-and-answer and more like a "pick a photo that you think is pretty" system, it'll show how your character defines your outlook on and approach to life.

This two-question exam answers a lot more about who you are then you could possibly realize. Just by choosing your favorite and least favorite colors (yup, that's it), it will tell you about your leadership, your management skills, your imagination, and then some.

Emotional intelligence is just as important as IQ—in and out of the office.

So what is it? EQ is the ability to process and manage your own emotions, as well as understand and influence the emotions of others. Use these online tests to see how well you fare—and what you should work on to become better at it.

8. Institute for Health and Human Potential

IHHP asks short, straightforward questions on how you act around others and how you handle certain situations. It'll not only tell you where you range, but also ways to improve your EQ weak areas.

9. Goleman's EQ Test

This test is inspired by Daniel Goleman, psychologist and science journalist for The New York Times, as well as author of Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, a book discussing the many reasons why EQ shapes who we are.
