Surely, we’ve all heard about the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types identified in the workplace, and while they are useful, they are not necessarily the stuff that promotes a good laugh. We at CC Pace are all about working hard and having a bit of fun while doing it, so we thought we’d take a crack at pinpointing some of the traits that identify a few of the more common roles in the corporate world. Let’s see how many you can relate to:
If your average Coke consumption is 5 or more a day … you might be a Developer
If you think knowing binary takes someone from a “6” to a “10”… you might be a Software Engineer
If you have a retrospective for your daughter’s Kindergarten graduation … you might be a ScrumMaster
If you missed a “;” and couldn’t sleep for 2 days … you might be a Java Developer
If you can keep smiling on the outside while crying on the inside … you might be a Receptionist
If you camp in a random forest, get bitten by a Python because you couldn’t C# … you might be a Data Scientist
If bagels and donuts day at work seems like an Instagramable moment … you might work in Marketing
If the phrase “Hello from the other side, must have called a thousand times” means more to you than a line in an Adele song … you might be a Recruiter
If a large part of your day consists of fielding questions like a White House Press Secretary … you might be a COO
If your future Disney vacation is visually planned on your kitchen wall … you might be an Agile Coach
If the definition of a good day includes eliminating the idea that things work … you might be a Test Engineer
If Mad Max doesn’t come close to the amount of chaos you deal with daily … you might work in Human Resources
