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.
Brenda,
It’s neat that the test results can affirm that you’re on the right track in terms of following your passion and giftings. When I took the test, I was tempted to overthink some questions and not answer as honestly as I should, but I resisted the temptation and just went with my initial gut response, no matter how un-politically correct it seemed.

Hi Laura,
I took the StrongLife Test and my results state that my lead role is a Motivator and in reading about that role it described me to a tee. I am an optimist by nature, and I’m always ready to jump in and support, motivate and get things going. In that role I have occassionally felt “sucked dry by emotional vampires” but I’m learning to set boudaries and use the word “no” more frequently.
My supporting role is that of Teacher, which is also totally me! I love to learn and share what I learn with others. I’m always ready to provide direction and guidance to those who ask for it and believe people are capable of more than what they think they are.
This was really interesting and fun and gave me a lot to think about, thanks for posting this on your blog.
