The geometric shapes test is very simple but at the same time quite an insightful personality test.
All you have to do is to look at the proposed geometric shapes and choose the one that you think best represents you as a person. In other words, choose the shape that you can clearly identify yourself with. Then arrange the remaining shapes in order of preference.
Square
The tireless worker. Exhibits hard work, diligence, perseverance, and always strives for completion. Patience and a methodical nature make squares skilled professionals.
A Square collects information and has it neatly organized on their shelves. They are able to quickly retrieve the desired facts and earn a deserved reputation of being a scholar in their field.
The Square refers to left hemisphere thinkers, who are characterized by logical thought and mathematical mindsets. Squares analyze and calculate answers to problems, rather than trusting their instincts or intuition.
Square’s ideal is a planned, regular life where everything is predictable. They do not like unexpected happenings or surprises. In the business world, such people often become good administrators and executives but rarely succeed as managers because their constant need for additional information for decision-making deprives them of their speed.
In addition, their cold rationality often prevents squares from quickly connecting with other people.
Triangle
This geometric shape symbolizes leadership. The main ability of triangles is to focus on goals and deeply and quickly analyze situations.
A Triangle is a very confident person who wants to be right in everything. Triangles find it difficult to admit their mistakes, are easy to train, and absorb information like a sponge. Their career gives their life meaning.
Negative qualities: excessive self-absorption. Triangles are very good at presenting the importance of their own work to senior management, can sense profitable business decisions from a mile away, and may “knock heads” with rivals in the process of striving for success.
Rectangle
Is a transitional form from one shape to another. People who see themselves as Rectangles are not satisfied with their lives and are busy looking for chances to better their circumstances.
The main mental state of a rectangle is a perceived sense of confusion, bogged by their problems and uncertainty.
Their most important personality traits are inconsistent and unpredictable behavior and low self-esteem. Positive qualities include curiosity, inquisitiveness, a lively interest in everything, and courage. A rectangle tries to do things that have never been done and asks questions that they did not have the spirit for before.
Circle
The Circle is a symbol of harmony. Those who choose this shape are interested in good interpersonal relations. The highest value for the circle is people and their well being.
This is the most benevolent of the five geometric shapes. The Circle is the glue that holds the team or the family together. They stabilize the group and have a high capacity for sympathy and empathy.
Circles feel the pain and joy of others as their own. They are right-brain thinkers, not logical but creative and more emotionally charged. The processing of information in such people is not consistent and resembles a mosaic pattern. The main feature of their style of thinking is a focus on the subjective aspects of the problem.
Zigzag
The Zigzag is a symbol of creativity. The Zigzag focuses on imagery. The right-brain thinking zigzag is not fixated on the details, which simplifies the way they view the world. This allows them to construct a holistic and harmonious conceptual view of the world and see its intrinsic beauty.
The Zigzag cannot work in one place for a long time – this is after all, boring and there are so many other interesting things to see and experience! The main purpose of the zigzag is the generation of new ideas and methods and not their actual realization.
The Zigzag looks to the future and is more interested in possibilities than in reality.
wow, i’ve never had my whole life summarized quite so well and just by choosing a shape. that was crazy. I was square by the way.
I read the directions, I read what each shape means and was going to pick the description of which one applied to me the best. but when I saw that was picked a shaped I wrote them down, here is my order.
1: circle
2: Zig zag
3: Triangle
4:square
5: Rectangle
Crazy. I’m zigzag first and very strongly disliked the rectangle. That sums me up pretty wonderfully. (My order was zigzag, circle, triangle, square, rectangle.)
I chose the zigzag without even thinking.
Then, I would say the rectangle or the triangle,
then the square.
They all fit me to some percentage, in order of highest to lowest.
I chose circle without even thinking.
Rectangle.
The order I chose was
1) Triangle
2) Circle
3) Square
4) Rectangle
5) Zigzag
However, after reading what each shape supposedly means, I have to say, this doesn’t work for me. I did not see my personality represented correctly at all.
So, either this test doesn’t work for everybody, or my perception of my own self is incredibly wrong. 😀
Sven, it is not you, it is the test because I am the same way in means that non of the shapes seem like me.
Thank you for your article! As an interior decorator, I try to determine twelve major client preferences. One is which shape they gravitate towards. Some prefer circles, others stripes, squares, swirls or diamonds. This helps me tremendously to find furnishings and fabrics they will enjoy. But just this week, a client asked if her shape preference (diamonds) told me anything about her personality. I hadn’t thought about it from that standpoint but will begin taking note to see if similar personalities prefer the same shapes. Very interesting. Thanks again!
1)Zigzag
2)Circle
