Just found this link to a personality test on the BBC website. If you have 10 mins or so to spare it’s quite interesting.
I’ll check in later to tell you my personality type.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/whatamilike/index.shtml
The type that doesn’t believe in personality types.
Strategist.
Supervisor
Nurturer
The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
Planner, Facts, Hearts and Introvert
Summary of Nurturers
Care for the important people in their lives
Strive for harmony and avoid confrontation
Think of themselves as gentle, conscientious, and mature
May have trouble making decisions that could hurt others
Nurturers are quiet people who believe in order and diligently look after the people they care about. They focus on the needs of others and establish routines to help them meet their commitments.
Nurturers are the most likely group to say they prefer a job where the same thing happens every day, according to a UK survey.
Nurturers remember details that are important to them, such as their friends’ birthdays and anniversaries. People with this personality type value others’ feelings and may challenge behaviour they think is insensitive.
In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Nurturers may feel bitter and seek support by complaining to their colleagues. Under extreme stress, Nurturers may become preoccupied with the worst possible outcome and believe that they are heading for disaster.
Because they are so caring and loyal, Nurturers run the risk of being taken advantage of.
Nurturers are often drawn to jobs that allow them to help others.
Well, I had to guess on the educational level, as I don’t know the British system. I’ve completed about 3 years of college, but am not degreed, and four years of vocational training in alternative medicine, so I picked “A level” as that was the one right before “Degree”. Don’t know if that had any bearing on the quiz or if that was just for their database.
I’m a Mentor. Planner/Ideas/Heart/Extrovert
I agree with all except the Planner. They didn’t really have an option for me, which would have been “I plan things out, often in excrutiating detail, but then throw the plan out the window at the first opportunity and just wing it.”
I’m a Mastermind - Planner, Ideas, Heads, Introvert.
I don’t think this is quite right as I don’t see myself as a visionary.
I’m a Realist. How boring. Sigh.
Your answers suggest you are a Supervisor.
Idealist. I always get Idealist. Why? Because it’s always a Myers-Briggs test.
I’m a Performer. But I’ve since forgotten all the other details of the explanation. 
Big Thinker: Spontaneous, Ideas, Heads, Extrovert.
I would agree with most of this, except I was surprised that heads came up instead of hearts. I’ve also never thought of myself as having the entrepreneurial spirit that the summary mentioned.
Mentor
There are two questions already that don’t fit me. For example, about how you describe yourself - well, I’m none of those things. I love pressure, and am rarely late but not a perfectionist.
And the grocery thing - well it does bother me, when they switch, for a short time and then I get over it.
Other than that, I am a Realist - which I knew.
Loyal and steady workers who meet deadlines
Believe in established rules and respect facts
Think of themselves as mature, stable and conscientious
May appear too logical or tough-minded and forget their impact on other people
But I know I have a lot of idealism in me, and the glass is always half-full over here!
Eh, oh. Sounds about right, except that I really am a caring, compassionate Supervisor. And I am certainly not organized!
I’m a performer:
Summary of Performers
Love fun, people and the world around them
Prefer hands-on learning to reading a book
Think of themselves as enthusiastic, sociable or sensitive
May forget about commitments because they’re having so much fun
More about Performers
For the Performers, people and the exciting world around them come before rules and routines. This group believes you can get work done efficiently and have fun at the same time. Others are naturally drawn to the Performers’ outgoing nature and enjoyment of life.
Performers are most likely to say they dislike reading travel books, according to a UK survey.
Performers are good at reading people and figuring out what their needs are. They don’t believe in making plans and are confident that they can handle whatever comes their way. These skills allow Performers to quickly motivate others.
In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Performers may become distracted, fail to accept or meet deadlines, or take criticism too personally. Under extreme stress, Performers can be overwhelmed by thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong.
Performers may live for the moment and forget the consequences of their actions.
Performer Careers
Performers are drawn to careers that require people skills and attention to detail.

It’s important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn’t feel restricted by our results.
Resolver. The description is pretty close, too.
Realist here.
Planner/Facts/Heads/Introvert.
I’m a provider. Hmm. I guess it’s cause I love to bring home so much bacon! Planner, Facts, Hearts, Extrovert.
“Provider is the most common personality type for women in the UK, according to a nationwide survey.”
Leader = Planner, Ideas, Head, Extrovert
