Belbin's Team Roles Test

(you'll have to email me for the test - I have no accessible webspace at the moment!)

‘How to play’
- in each section of statements you have a total of 10 points to allocate according to the statements which make most sense to you. For example, you might give 5 or 6 points to the statement you felt most strongly about, then 3 to another which you were fairly convinced about, then just 1 point to another which you feel says something about you. Of course, if you felt equally about all of them you would give 1 or 2 points to each. But, as with all such tests, try not to be too ‘fair’ – read the statements through and go with your first instincts. Obviously, the ‘stronger’ the numbers the stronger the analysis will be.

For interest, I just completed the test again myself.. I have a primary preference for ‘Monitor Evaluator’ and a secondary preference for ‘Shaper’. I think most people would agree that these two describe me reasonably well, although of course none describe anyone completely! I would be interested to hear what others come out as…

Oh dear, I should have remembered this testing thing gets addictive. Just one more…
According to this test: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm I am INTJ, which in reading the following: http://typelogic.com/intj.html seems a fairly good descriptor.
  • slightly expressed introvert
  • moderately expressed intuitive personality
  • moderately expressed thinking personality
  • slightly expressed judging personality
