4 basic types of people:

[Anonymous]

1: leader

2: investigative

3: carer

4: prat

Which are you?

I'm carer type, who now wishes to do some investigative stuff = scientific if I can ..... ..... ..... the prat part in me is my silly/ridiculous sense of humour, or so I believe

the Powerful People here on O2CF are Good-Allrounders & their prat part = terrific sense of humour

if you are basic prat type eg the guy who hangs around the water cooler loving hearing the sound of his own voice surrounded by a group of people with delighted expressions upon their faces & it'd be little old me saying excuse me, excuse me repeatedly until I could get some water asap as I'd have a deadline from my boss to achieve

Hi @Anonymous


I personally don't prefer to label people.

As human beings people revert to type and typically change their personality and characteristics in different settings. Ie if under stress one can become moody etc.

If I was to label myself fir the sake of your thread it was be 'listener'

[Anonymous]

yes, the BoB I know in my short time on O2CF I'd say you are a good listener

I don't wish to go into detail now ( done too much of that recently on O2CF )

but yes I have mood swings in a general sort of way

its raining cats & dogs here

hope its better where you are

Hi Wispared7


Unfortunately it's the same weather here too.

I'll be leaving my humble abode to make my way through it to work.

😞

Glad I only work half days on a Friday.

I doubt if anyone else will own up to it let me be the first to confess with all due modesty that I am a PRAT, which the more savvy amongst you may know is an acronym for Perfectly Reasonable Adult Technophobe - which is why I can often be found skulking about this Community picking up hints and tips galore.   :O))

Perfectly Reasonable Adult Technophobe

Well @Anonymous  I have never heard that acronym before...so now I will say I too am a PRAT.and like you am often found skulking around the help threads reading absorbing and learning (a bit at a time)

So, if anyone should call me a prat in future I will be able to agree with them

I'm reviving this thread for a reason

Is it possible to change from one type of person & develop yourself well not into another type, I don't mean that quite exactly ... ... ... but I'm well ruddy sick & tired of being 'carer' type ... ... ... I can't draw pics, but you are attracted to the opposite types, so I'm attracted to 'leader' types, which is true, I can attest to that in my working life, my better jobs were when I was working for say a lone boss or more-than-one (max 5 at one time) in a clerical support / telephonist way ... ... ... there is some overlap in people types ... ... ... but the passive / agressive it the worst sort of person in real life ... ... ... & ... ... ... on the 4 basic types of people ie prat for me to be with ... ... ... & of course ... ... ...  me being little ol' Wispa' in my private life attract the crap  ie prat / passive-agressive type of people

I can't go back & ask the course leader about the above  ^  ^  ^ for various reasons ... ... ... but ... ... ... that course was the Best Course I'd Ever Been On

What's the best course you've been on ?
