THE SQUIGGLE/RECTANGLE COMBINATION
At work: You are a true change agent. You get bored doing repetitive, routine work. You need variety in your work that allows you to "switch gears" often. Since you are primarily a right-brained thinker, you see the "big picture" and are more interested in "Why" than in "How". You are not detail-oriented; you are conceptual, creative, and intuitive. You are the idea person on the team. You love to brainstorm solutions to complex problems and you are very good at this. You are bright and a quick-thinker. In fact, it's difficult for you to "turn off your brain"--even in sleep. You often awaken at night when pondering over a work problem.
Personally, you are totally up-front, honest, and outspoken in your communication. You have an endearing "childlike" quality that draws others to you. You cannot tell a lie. You are very spontaneous and will say whatever is on your mind, even if it is not "politically correct." Because you are critical of upper management, you will be an individual contributor.
Your saving grace is your quick-witted sense of humour. However, when riled, you can be extremely sarcastic. Although you can deliver a brilliant performance when you are challenged, you can also be very disorganized, erratic, and undependable. You dislike paperwork and all forms of rules and regulations that you consider result from a management need to "control." Your desk looks like a hurricane hit it and you have paper strewn all over the floor.
However, you know where everything is, so it doesn't bother you. You are often late to meetings (if you come at all), and colleagues have learned not to trust you. You often feel isolated at work.
Your work habits are poor, but others forgive you and call you the "brilliant weirdo" in the back office. You prefer totally casual clothes and would wear your pyjamas to work if you could get away with it. You have a "flare for the dramatic" and love bright colours and large patterned fabrics. You are very "arty" and love avant garde theatre, art and music.
At leisure: What leisure? You are very project-oriented, both at work and at home. You work full-throttle, day and night, until you become bored. You may have many half-completed projects lying around. Somewhere in the mess is a brilliant innovation that could make you a millionaire, but you can't seem to get organized enough to find it. You are likely to live alone unless you find that perfect "Circle" person who will put up with your eccentric behaviour.
Talking straight...
Lately, you have NOT been yourself! Something has happened, causing you to question yourself. You are going through a difficult period right now. Your choice of the Rectangle indicates that you are in transition. You are experiencing great internal changes. You may feel that the old ways of behaving (as described above) are not working for you anymore. But...you do not yet know how to fix the problem. You are searching, questioning, exploring and generally feeling confused and frustrated.
Everyone experiences Rectangular periods in their lives. There is usually an identifiable cause. Some event/person/situation has provoked these feelings in you. Typically, the Rectangle emerges within us when a critical life event occurs; i.e. job change, relocation, promotion/demotion, marriage, divorce, loss of child/parent, physical accident/illness. You are forced to cope with this new life circumstance.
The Good News is that this period of stress and change will pass...it is temporary! And, when you come out at the other end of the tunnel, you will be a better person for it; you will be more sensitive and tolerant of others. These are admirable qualities that your Squiggle is often lacking!
Today's TIP!...
Enjoy this period of personal growth! Step outside of yourself today and take a look at the new person you are becoming. This is EXCITING!

The RECTANGLE PERSON isn't the most organised person you are every likely to meet. They are incredibly messy - their desks are swamped with piles of stuff which also manages to extend onto the floor.
Despite all the clutter left on their desk, the Rectangle carries their work around with them, nearly always with a bag or two clutched in their hands.
Rectangles aren't necessarily 100% certain where their future will take them and are not sure if they want to stay in permanent employment or move into the big wide world of freelancing. This lack of focus and great deal of indecision and inconsistency (not to mention that they are very forgetful, often misplacing items or forgetting important documentation), means that there is almost always several items waiting to be properly filed away. It has been said that the only predictable thing about a Rectangle is that they are unpredictable!
The uncertainty of their future makes them a good candidate for contracting or working from home. When they are not in the workplace they can usually be found in the local drinking establishment contemplating which way to turn.
It is not only their future that Rectangles are unsure about. It may often seem that they flit from Shape to Shape almost daily as they try them on for size and see which they like the best. Rectangles are essentially in a "state of transition" and are very unreliable as a result of this changeable nature. They can also be very much on-edge and are not always sure in what way to behave. So much so that someone who does not know why the Rectangle acts in such a way may view them as somewhat crazy.
The Rectangle's office also indicates the "internal conflicts" that they undergo. For example, documents meant for the out-tray may be found in the in-tray and vice-versa. They also have a tendency to put important memos in the bin and, keep personal items in full view. Rectangles who have their own office are usually extremely proud of this fact.
Rectangles are highly inquisitive and courageous during their periods of change and will often try new things. However, they are also very suggestible and prone to manipulation during such times. This is something that the Rectangle must guard against. This may be one reason why the Rectangle prefers to stay in large groups as in such an environment they can essentially 'hide' and avoid one-to-one interaction. They have an inherent "fear of being put on the spot."

Circle/triangle combo. Don't really agree with this one.
THE CIRCLE/TRIANGLE COMBINATION
You have the components of a True Leader. You are determined, ambitious, and smart (Triangle), but you possess the necessary balance that a pure self-centered Triangle lacks. Your Circle traits include the ability to see the "big picture" and to work effectively as a team player. You will excel in the skill of persuasive communication. When you combine these two Shapes, the result is often a person who is both respected and trusted by others...the critical elements of leadership. You like to dress in high fashion clothing and you believe in investing in your future via a fine wardrobe. You will wear whatever is in style at the moment but prefer navy blue and blood red, or the combination--the rich purple of monarchs.
Depending upon where you are in your career as you read this, you probably already have a very responsible job and are a member of the management team. If not, you will be. You must learn to trust your own good judgment more than you do now. You are not a risk-taker, but when you take a "calculated" risk, you will land on your feet.
Sometimes you become overly concerned with what others think. This can lead you to playing backroom politics and subtle manipulation. Although you may have a short-term win, you will lose long-term trust. Even if the decision is unpopular, you must trust your judgment and do what you know is right. Others will follow your lead.
Talking straight...
At work: At early to mid-career you will need an excellent MENTOR. You must learn to curb your natural tendency to avoid conflict. You must learn to be more assertive and to take risks. You can be a very skilled diplomat and will excel in team leadership. Your drive and determination will lead you to accept higher levels of responsibility. You must quell your natural resistance to leaving friends behind. If they are truly friends, they have known all along that you would pass them by and they are cheering for you! As you gain increasing authority, you will become a superb mentor yourself.
At leisure: Your motto is: "Work hard, play hard". And, this you do. It is often difficult for those of less stamina to keep up with you. You love team sports of all sorts. You are a born cheerleader and can bring the team to victory. Your competitive nature and strong athletic ability combine to make you a formidable opponent. You will win every contest. (More than once you have been the last one standing at the pub bar.)
Although you love outdoor activity, you are equally at home sipping mulled wine in front of a fireplace with friends. You don't like to read books, you prefer magazines and newspapers that give you information quickly. You like to travel to learn about different cultures, but you rarely take the time. You are not artistic or musically inclined but you are an excellent dancer and really like to watch Rap musicians do their "thing".
Today's TIP!...
You are a true friend and an excellent colleague. Your life is full, busy, and sometimes too hectic. Take a few minutes to relax and enjoy some quiet time. Sit all alone and listen to your inner voice. It is truly wise.

I trusted you Steve Guttenberg!
Besides for the desk part I'd say it was pretty much right. Although, my desk is technically clean at the moment because of an ant problem, but I promise that's the only reason. And I'm not such a tight-ass that I would "stringently plan" any social events, let alone plan one at all.

Squiggle!
The SQUIGGLE PERSON is far from tidy. These individuals tend to be exceptionally creative, flamboyant, dramatic, and witty and, are the messiest and least-organised of all the Shapes. They can however, be very motivating people to be around.
Such people are surrounded by half-finished work and their desks are strewn with half-eaten food and old coffee cups. There are no family photos in the Squiggle's office and though to visitors their office may seem messy, to the Squiggle it is not because they usually know where most things are! If the Box person is chalk then the Squiggle is the proverbial cheese! Squiggles view themselves as being unique and challenging the "status quo". Some may even go to extremes to illustrate this.
The Squiggle can never go anywhere without carrying a lot of things and are usually flustered, harassed and in a hurry. They rarely finish a task and struggle immensely with routine work. This is not surprising given the fact that Squiggles undergo constant change and that they are very easily bored, requiring constant stimulation in both a personal and a professional capacity.
Upon the desk of your typical Squiggle will be a sea of self-adhesive notes which quite often spill over onto the floor below. The creative Squiggle may have one picture adorning the wall behind their desk but they probably never give it a second glance. Similarly, the curious Squiggle may purchase books on the most modern and exciting topics yet, rarely read them!
Squiggles often use phrases such as "Paperwork is a waste of time!", "I've got the best idea of all!" and "I don't take NO for a answer!" They also tend to be bad listeners because they are so eager to share their ideas with others. This can lead to complaints and ill-feeling from friends and colleagues. Squiggles tend to be the "idea producers" in society which may be partially attributed to the fact that they fantasize a lot. When they get excited about a project they can become very intense about it. They can also be quite volatile and as a result, are not especially good team-workers and are not really enthused about people in general.
the Squiggle person could be mistaken for being permanently in mourning as they are invariably attired in black. Following their creative streak, the Squiggle person probably enjoys arty films in their spare time, possibly even having membership of a film club.
Due to their lack of focus, Squiggle shapes are very useful for a firm to have around but they will probably never make it very far up the ranks. They do however have a razor-sharp wit and are the life and soul of the party - great people to be around. They can however, be rather embarrassing at times and can be labeled as a 'weirdo' by those who do not understand them.
Squiggles may be the type of people who find their niche in Web-design and development, thus fully taking advantage of the creative facet of their nature.

Chimera
To inanity and beyond
Rectangle/Circle
At work: You are a very friendly and sensitive person. You are both interesting and interested in others. You are the harmonizer of the 5 Shape Personalities. You are the best team player of all and your role is the catalyst of the team. Your strength is your ability to communicate with all types of people.
People gravitate to you naturally. They often share their problems with you. You are an excellent counsellor, diplomat, and excel in compromise. You are a good listener and have an uncanny ability to "read" people well. (People cannot lie to you.) You are very empathic and can be extremely persuasive. You need to work in a job that capitalizes on these skills. You would be well-placed in a customer service position (not sales). You are not ambitious and may not achieve greatness in life, but you will have the biggest retirement party of them all.
Because you are balanced in the right and left brain, you are able to see the "big picture" that others miss. This is also a source of problems for you. You dislike conflict because you clearly "see both sides". You often procrastinate and struggle with unpopular decisions because you want to keep everyone happy. You tend to be a bit disorganized and hate doing paperwork. You wear earth tone colours of brown, khaki, and red (which symbolizes the strong emotions that exist within you).
At leisure: Home is where the heart is for you. You probably have a large family and many pets. Friends are very important to you and friends become family to you. It is often difficult for you to separate your personal life from your professional life. When there are problems at the office you take them home with you.
It is advisable for you to seek a Box or a Triangle mate. These Shape personalities will provide objectivity and balance in your life. They will also curb your inclination to be generous to a fault. (Circles give freely of their time and money and are often left with little for themselves.)

Best placed in customer service...? No thank you.
This totally makes me come off sounding like an E type, dammit.

Rectangle+Box
adage, "work first, play later." You are very detail-oriented and believe that tasks should be accomplished with the utmost precision and accuracy. You do not respect people who produce sloppy work, are late to meetings, and socialize during work hours.
When forced to work in a team, your role is the gate-keeper and you often end up doing much of the work for others. Although you enjoy the camaraderie of the teamwork, you would really prefer to work alone.
When feeling stressed, you are likely to withdraw and become isolated. Both you and your office are neat and clean. Your wardrobe is more functional than decorative and you prefer muted, solid colors such as grey.
If you are considering a position in upper management, give this a great deal of thought. You are a perfectionistic loner and could make your subordinates miserable. You are best placed in a highly technical or administrative position in which you have control over your own work and an occasional team project. You would struggle in a direct sales position.
At leisure: At home, you are very committed to your mate and protective of your family. You are old-fashioned when it comes to traditional family values. You do not believe in divorce and expect a clean and efficient household in which tasks are equitably shared. You are patriotic and likely to attend church on a regular basis.
Your friends are few, but they are very lucky to call you friend because, to you, friends are like family. They know that they can always trust your word and, when the chips are down, you will not desert them. In your leisure time you enjoy the musical classics (from rock to Bach); reading preferences lean to history and biography; hobbies often include woodworking projects. You are a meticulous collector; whatever you collect will support you in your old age...along with your substantial savings.
Talking straight...
Lately, you have NOT been yourself! Something has happened in your life to cause you to question yourself. You are going through a difficult period right now. Your choice of the Rectangle indicates that you are in transition. You are experiencing great internal changes. You may feel that the old ways of behaving (as described above) are not working for you anymore. But...you do not yet know how to fix the problem. You are searching, questioning, exploring and generally feeling very confused.
Everyone experiences Rectangular periods in their lives. There is usually an identifiable cause. Some event/person/situation has provoked these feelings in you. Typically, the Rectangle emerges within us when a critical life event occurs; i.e.job change, relocation, promotion/demotion, marriage, divorce, loss of child/parent, physical accident/illness. You are forced to cope with this new life circumstance.
The Good News is that this period of stress and change will pass...it is temporary! And, when you come out at the other end of the tunnel, you will be a better person for it; you will be wiser and more tolerant of others. These are admirable qualities that your Box was missing!
Today's TIP!...
Enjoy this period of personal growth! Step outside of yourself today and take a look at the new person you are becoming. This is EXCITING!

adage, "work first, play later." You are very detail-oriented and believe that tasks should be accomplished with the utmost precision and accuracy. You do not respect people who produce sloppy work, are late to meetings, and socialize during work hours.
When forced to work in a team, your role is the gate-keeper and you often end up doing much of the work for others. Although you enjoy the camaraderie of the teamwork, you would really prefer to work alone.
When feeling stressed, you are likely to withdraw and become isolated. Both you and your office are neat and clean. Your wardrobe is more functional than decorative and you prefer muted, solid colors such as grey.
If you are considering a position in upper management, give this a great deal of thought. You are a perfectionistic loner and could make your subordinates miserable. You are best placed in a highly technical or administrative position in which you have control over your own work and an occasional team project. You would struggle in a direct sales position.
At leisure: At home, you are very committed to your mate and protective of your family. You are old-fashioned when it comes to traditional family values. You do not believe in divorce and expect a clean and efficient household in which tasks are equitably shared. You are patriotic and likely to attend church on a regular basis.
Your friends are few, but they are very lucky to call you friend because, to you, friends are like family. They know that they can always trust your word and, when the chips are down, you will not desert them. In your leisure time you enjoy the musical classics (from rock to Bach); reading preferences lean to history and biography; hobbies often include woodworking projects. You are a meticulous collector; whatever you collect will support you in your old age...along with your substantial savings.

Squiggle/Rectangle
At work: You are a true change agent. You get bored doing repetitive, routine work. You need variety in your work that allows you to "switch gears" often. Since you are primarily a right-brained thinker, you see the "big picture" and are more interested in "Why" than in "How". You are not detail-oriented; you are conceptual, creative, and intuitive. You are the idea person on the team. You love to brainstorm solutions to complex problems and you are very good at this. You are bright and a quick-thinker. In fact, it's difficult for you to "turn off your brain"--even in sleep. You often awaken at night when pondering over a work problem.
Personally, you are totally up-front, honest, and outspoken in your communication. You have an endearing "childlike" quality that draws others to you. You cannot tell a lie. You are very spontaneous and will say whatever is on your mind, even if it is not "politically correct." Because you are critical of upper management, you will be an individual contributor.
Your saving grace is your quick-witted sense of humour. However, when riled, you can be extremely sarcastic. Although you can deliver a brilliant performance when you are challenged, you can also be very disorganized, erratic, and undependable. You dislike paperwork and all forms of rules and regulations that you consider result from a management need to "control." Your desk looks like a hurricane hit it and you have paper strewn all over the floor.
However, you know where everything is, so it doesn't bother you. You are often late to meetings (if you come at all), and colleagues have learned not to trust you. You often feel isolated at work.
Your work habits are poor, but others forgive you and call you the "brilliant weirdo" in the back office. You prefer totally casual clothes and would wear your pyjamas to work if you could get away with it. You have a "flare for the dramatic" and love bright colours and large patterned fabrics. You are very "arty" and love avant garde theatre, art and music.
At leisure: What leisure? You are very project-oriented, both at work and at home. You work full-throttle, day and night, until you become bored. You may have many half-completed projects lying around. Somewhere in the mess is a brilliant innovation that could make you a millionaire, but you can't seem to get organized enough to find it. You are likely to live alone unless you find that perfect "Circle" person who will put up with your eccentric behaviour.

When I first read it I thought it said "the most organized person you will ever meet" and I was like "LOLWUT what a bullshit test". Then I reread it and it said "not the most organized person you will ever meet" and then everything was all fine and dandy.

Box/triangle combo.
THE BOX/TRIANGLE COMBINATION
You are a very organized (Box) and ambitious (Triangle) person. You believe there is a "right way" to do almost everything and it is your task in life to make sure all projects are completed in a timely manner. You become stressed when goals are unclear and deadlines are missed. Under stress you have the capacity to become a severe taskmaster and colleagues cower in your presence. You are a strong personality who often intimidates others. Because you are very left-brain dominant, you are a linear thinker. You are very focused on the goal of the moment and may miss the "big picture" by becoming buried in the details. You are highly respected for your knowledge and quick decision-making ability. You ask others, "What's the bottom line?"
You can be an effective team player IF you respect your team mates and feel that the team project is of value. Your leadership skills will often emerge in the team setting. Others often look to you for guidance. You have the courage to take a stand and you are willing to be fully accountable for your decisions. You are not a risk-taker, but will carefully analyze and calculate your options. You often think in numbers; "Are chances 60/40 here?" You are aware of status and wear fashionable, expensive clothing. Blue is your colour.
Talking straight...
At work: You are definitely management material, BUT you will need good coaching from a talented Mentor in order to be successful. You have a tendency to be dogmatic and must learn to respect the opinions of others. (You must learn to value the the contribution of Circles and Squiggles.) You are competitive and actually enjoy the political machinations of a large organization. You are an excellent negotiator and can be very successful in sales management.
At leisure: You are a hard driver at work, so your home environment must be uncluttered and stress-free. You are not romantic, but are committed to loved ones and are a vicious tiger if your family is threatened. You prefer a set schedule at home. Meals should be taken at appointed times. Social events will be few, but those which do occur will be carefully planned and efficiently executed. Your leisure activities will be scheduled routines. You have excellent athletic ability and enjoy running/working out. You could be an expert at games requiring mental acuity such as chess or bridge. You are not artistic, but appreciate objects of value. You say you like classical music, but secretly listen to country songs. Your reading preferences lean to mystery novels and biographies.
Today's TIP!...
STOP and smell the roses! Remember Olivia Newton John's warning: "can't you ever let someone else be strong...?"

Synthesis
Watching the river of Time
Box-Squiggle. I disagree. I am horrendously unorganised and very rarely get stressed at all. Hmph. Lies and Slander, I say!
--> You are a creature of extremes! You have chosen the two Shapes that are the most opposite of one another. On the one hand, you like excitement and challenge, but you also need quiet and downtime. You have strong emotions (no) and tend to be either very happy and positive, or negative and depressed. You are a difficult person for others to figure out. Sometimes you are witty, energetic, and a delightful companion. The next day you may withdraw and become anti-social. The most predictable thing about you is that you are unpredictable.
When everything in your life is going well, you maintain a level and balanced demeanor. When you are your "best self" you are organized (haha) and efficient. Your office is neat and tidy and your work is completed with accuracy and timeliness. You take time to joke and chat with colleagues in a very congenial manner (negative, commandant). Your excellent sense of humour (somewhat offbeat) emerges and you find yourself able to solve difficult problems with ease and originality.
However, you become very stressed when there is too much to do in too little time (maintained perfection, always). When this occurs, you become a Jekyll/Hyde personality! You miss deadlines, you submit sloppy work, and your neat office begins to look like a war zone. You withdraw from others and lose your sense of humour. Others start tiptoeing around you. Once the crisis is over, you return to your old, congenial self. But others become wary of you once they have seen your dark side.
You have no predictable "style" and may appear in suit and tie one day, and denim jeans and a t-shirt the next. You can be very artistic and enjoy singing at the Karaoke Club. Secretly your tastes lean to the weird; that collection of punk rock memorabilia from the 1970's may well support you in your old age.
Talking straight...
At work: Those colleagues who know you well are painfully aware of your psychotic moments. Your passive/aggressive shifts are the main reason why you are rarely invited to work on high visibility projects.
Although co-workers may come to you for the wealth of information and ideas that you possess, they rarely include you on their project teams. In fact, you are primarily a loner at work and you prefer it that way. You like the back office and the freedom to pursue your own "pet projects."
You are not a candidate for management and are best positioned in a highly technical job that requires good organization skills, extensive training and attention to detail. You have no desire to "climb the corporate ladder", but do appreciate being recognized for your work. You must curb your tendency to criticize upper management. Your biting sarcasm can get you in trouble.
At leisure: You are very project-oriented, both at work and at home. You work full-throttle, day and night, until you become bored. You may have many half-completed projects lying around. Somewhere in the mess is a brilliant innovation that could make you a millionnaire, but you can't seem to get organized enough to find it.
You are likely to live alone unless you find that perfect "Circle" person who will put up with your erratic behavior. Although you long for a meaningful relationship with someone, you have an approach/avoidance tendency in romance. You have experienced numerous rejections and lack confidence in your ability to be truly intimate. You're not a bad person, just a bit eccentric. That's okay... relax and enjoy it! Wouldn't it be boring to be normal?
