The holidays are upon us, which means lots of parties, people, and socializing. How do you typically behave at holiday get-togethers? The test pros at Queendom.com offer the perfect personality test.
MONTREAL, Dec. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Whether hosting a get-together, visiting family, or attending a company party, holiday gatherings require at least some degree of socializing, which can either be really fun or really annoying, depending on your personality. Are you actively interacting with everyone or sitting in the corner pouting? Are you playing games and enjoying yourself, or are you wishing you could slide up the chimney and get the heck out of there? The test developers at Queendom.com have put together a the Holiday Personality Test to determine exactly how well you handle the holidays.
The free, 30-question personality test assesses a person's level of sociability and friendliness, social skills, and the degree to which a person is comfortable opening up to others. The test then matches the test-taker with the personality that best fits their character, demeanor, conversation style, and attitude.
"The holidays are a bit of a mixed bag. It's great to be able to enjoy a good meal and good conversation with family and friends that you might not see all the time, but it can be really stressful as well, whether you're the host or a guest," explains Dr. Ilona Jerabek, president of Queendom. "So, we decided to put together a personality test based on different types of introverts and extroverts and how they are likely to behave during holiday celebrations. The report also offers tips on how to best conduct yourself during holiday get-togethers, based on your personality type."
"It takes a lot of finesse to navigate holiday get-togethers, and it can be a really draining time, especially for more introverted people," continues Dr. Jerabek. "Extroverts, on the other hand, will love the social aspect, but being sociable doesn't necessarily mean that a person has good social skills. Our Holiday Personality Test is meant to be just for fun, but it can also offer interesting insights into your personality and the personalities of your guests."
