What Role Were You Born to Play? Take the Test & Find Out Instantly
Recently I featured a guest post from Beth Willis Miller, “Develop your imagination in social media.” Today Beth sent me a link to a cool interactive online quiz called The Strong Life Test for Women.
I immediately took the free test (23 questions; takes 5-10 minutes, depending on whether you’ve downed any caffeine recently).
My test results tell me that my “lead role” is “teacher.” No surprise there; I spent the first 11 years of my career teaching high school English and journalism; now I teach adults at conferences and through my consulting.
The test re-affirmed my calling to coach businesspeople how to improve their social media skills:
Your smartest career move:
Any job where you’re paid to facilitate the success of others.
That sentence resonates strongly with me. As I’ve been developing the Blogging Bistro brand, I have continuously told myself (and my poor husband), “I love helping others. I love playing a part in growing someone else’s business or ministry.”
My test results also inform me that my “supporting role” is “Creator.” As a Creator, my smartest career move is any job where I’m paid to produce new content.
Blogging comes to mind. And Twitter. And article writing.
For me, The Strong Life Test for Women confirmed that I’m on the right career track during this season of my life. It helped me to solidify my core brand message.
As for Beth Miller, the test inspired her to create an elevator pitch about why she uses social media.
And for Marcus Buckingham, whose latest book is not-so-coincidentally titled, Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently, the test is a terrific promotional tool.
Your turn! Take the test below right now. Tell us one key thing you learned about yourself, or how you’re going to use your test results.
P.S. If you’re a man, you can take the test, too. We won’t tell.
Well, Laura, I guess we have a lot in common. My results mirrored yours. I’ve homeschooled my children for a number of years so I suppose the “teacher” role is a natural. And the “creator” one? I’m a book doctor/writer/editor so I’d say this one’s a match, too.
What I learned relates to something I believe God has for me in the future: sharing some of the things I’ve learned (and continue to learn) on my writing journey. When my website and blog launch next week, I hope to do exactly that. I also recognized my tendency to place a little too much trust in others and think with my heart rather than my head. Everyone can learn–but not everyone is willing to be taught.
I appreciate your wise insights and look forward to meeting you at the Florida Christian Writers Conference in March. Blessings!

The quiz reported that my lead role was Creator and my secondary role is Advisor. LOVE this. I get the most pleasure out of writing my blog about my child, autism, and special needs. Law was my former life. This is spot on! Thanks for sharing!
