Your personality explained: 6 facts about you

The Distractor
Who are you - and why?
When life gets awkward, a distractor simply flutters away. When life gets tough, you tend to either ignore the problems or distract yourself and move onto something new. And when you're in trouble, you are very good at avoiding the blame by distracting people from the problem.
The positives:
You have such fun. You love partying and indulging yourself - and if you hit a problem, you just swan breeze over it. You tend to have lots of friends and live in a great social whirl.
The negatives:
Underneath the fun-loving party girl is someone a lot more anxious. You don't like taking on responsibility, or facing up to your mistakes - and if you have to do that, it hurts.
The distractor at work:
Your creative mind and energy is a real asset at work. However, if something goes wrong, you often step out of the firing line and that can get you disliked. You may even get a reputation for not pulling your weight or for passing up responsibilities.
The distractor in love:
You jump in with abandon. But you may find it a bit more difficult to really commit, to take on the challenge of loving rather than being 'in love'.
Your love match is:
Pair you with any one of the personality types and you'll shrug off the difficulties. But pair you with a leveller, and he'll support and help you to love in a mature way.
What should you do?
You need to learn to cope with the rough times and either take criticism on the chin or stand up for yourself. Read Confidence Works by Gladeana McMahon, (Sheldon Press, £7.99) or take a confidence-building course to help you face life and learn to deal with its challenges.
