The Sneeze Test - What’s Your Personality?

Americans seem to love personality tests. Apparently it is not enough to have a personality, and apparently we aren’t smart enough to know what that personality is.  We need all sorts of tests to help us understand ourselves and each other. As a bonus, personality tests can be applied in all sorts of ways to our relational abilities, and to our leadership styles. So for those of you (okay - my one reader) following my leadership series, consider this a tangential (is that a real word?) bonus.

Perhaps you are familiar with the Meyers-Brigg Test. Or the DiSC. Or the Colors. Or the Animals. Or the Sanguine/Melocholy version. The last four are all basically the same. Testing involves filling out a series of questions, scoring it, and whoila - you know who you are and what your tendencies are. It is sort of like astrology for Christians. Minus the occult thing, of course.

Today life got much more simple. Now you can achieve the same results by sneezing. Yep. You read right. Sneezing. Apparently there are four basic styles of sneezers that correspond to personality.  It must be real science and real accurate - ABC News is reporting it. Check out the report here. Go ahead and read it. Then come back.

Now, don’t you feel much better? Know your sneeze, know what type of person and leader you are. Simple and easy. I think I’ll sneak sneezing powder into my next board meeting. I expect eye-opening results.

Who knows. Maybe there really is something to it. Whether there is or not, it amused me. And that’s nothing to sneeze at
