These are the 7 Office Personality Types. Which One Are You?

Working in an office is a bit like joining a family, everybody has their own roles and personalities.

Everyone has their own backgrounds, working style, strengths, and weaknesses. But one thing that unites everyone is the office culture. However, different personalities means that disagreements will always happen, which affects creativity, productivity, and satisfaction at work.

So, it helps to know more about your employees and how their personalities affect their performance. Once you got this figured out, you and your HR team will have an insight on how to get them through tough situations.

Quill has made a fun flow-chart infographic to measure these traits based on common practices such as whether employees meet deadlines, enjoy work, and more. Let your employees try it out and see what they say.

There are 7 office personality types:

The Workaholic

This person is the first in the office and the last one to leave. They are independent, don’t have time for meetings, and rarely ask for help.

The Caretaker

Everytime a coworker needs to vent, The Caretaker is the go-to person. They’re always there to look after everyone and make sure they’re okay.

The Delegator

Opposite of The Workaholic, The Delegator regularly delegates their work to other people. While they may think no one’s on to them, they’re probably mistaken. You may want to take note of this type of employee.

The Chatty Cathy

This employee loves to tell good stories and gossips. They would rather spend the whole day chatting with colleagues than checking items off their to-do list.

The Feeder

This person is the most likely to bring in tidbits, candy, donutes, and other treats to share. The pantry will always be full when this person is around.

The Downer

Downers often complain about workload, coworkers, management, and personal issues.

The Upper

This person raise spirits without even trying. When team morale is low, they’re there to bring it right back up.
