Cat strengths
Cats like to enjoy living in the moment. They find it easy to adapt and change their plans.
Popular team members, Cats rarely give their views unless asked and like to be aware of people's
strengths and beliefs.

Cats:
• Ingenious, witty and tolerant. Often like solitary activities
• Love the outdoors and see life packed with adventures and experiences to try out and enjoy
• Sometimes need encouraging to ask for help when they need it, rather than always trying to
find their own solution
• Often very close to their family and can feel nervous about leaving home
• Loyal friends, good at solving problems
• Usually good fun to be with, though often like time on their own to recharge their batteries
• Have an eye for quality and often like collecting things

As a leader
Caring, quiet, personal, democratic and flexible.
Quite rare as leaders (because they are usually
task-focused) and therefore can bring in original
perspectives and approaches to their role. Tend
to like and offer freedom and independence to
their team members.

The Buzz Quiz was developed by Education and Employers' partner David Hodgson to help young people make
more informed course and career decisions, boost self-awareness, and better understand others. Personality-
type theory has roots in the work of Carl Jung, the founder of analytic psychology. It was later developed by
Isabel Briggs Myers, as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator©, and David Keirsey's Temperament Sorter. The
