Features

People Profiler is a national survey of working attitudes that aims to help you see what kind of creature you are at work, discover how you fit in to your industry and even find out whether other sectors might suit you better.

What are the creatures?

They are individual composite profiles based on your answers to our People Profiler test. Your individual creature should reflect your personality at work, your job attitude and the role you assume with your colleagues.

What are the stats?

As we gather information from everyone who takes the test, we are creating a picture of the kind of people who work in different industries across the UK and sharing it with you. You can see the most prevalent characteristics of people in your sector and others, plus find out if you might be better suited to another industry.

What is the town?

It's a virtual home for your creature and all the others that are generated by people who take the test. By bringing the creatures together we enable you to look at personality types on an industry-by-industry basis and compare the kind of people you will find in various sectors.

What is the map?

See how you measure up compared to the rest of the country. The map takes the data you've submitted, then calculates average scores for job satisfaction, job loyalty, and the four other factors. Plus it handily links through to relevant jobs on the Guardian Jobs site. So whether you're thinking of switching job sectors or moving to a new area, the results of our national survey are a good place to start.

Personalised profile

Our simple test is made up of 24 multiple choice questions and should take you no more than 10 minutes. Based on your responses we create a personalised profile that reveals the way you think and behave at work. It's a brilliant way to appreciate how you fit in.
