Panther strengths
On-the-spot problem-solvers that can act and communicate quickly, Panthers find it easy to adapt to
change. Panthers like to stand up for what they believe in even if others disagree – qualities which
make them good at selling ideas and products to others.

Panthers:
• Curious about the world around them and experiencing as much of it as possible
• Often the first to volunteer and take on a challenge
• Likely to be risk-takers so need to learn to think through the consequences of their actions
before jumping straight in
• Enjoy freedom and adventure, which can result in clashes with authority
• Full of energy and ideas
• Can be determined and easily bored

As a leader
Fun-loving and act on the spur of the moment.
They like getting on with what needs to be done
now rather than endlessly discussing the
options. Tend to focus on the excitement of the
activity rather than rules and processes.

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
