What kind of worker are you?

Six questions about your workday, not your job title. At the end you find out which of five kinds of work is yours, and you can send your result to someone whose job you wonder about.

The five kinds of work

• The Caretaker. Your work is other people.
• The Fixer. They call you when something breaks.
• The Maker. You judge a day by what you finished.
• The Keeper. When you do it right, nobody notices.
• The Connector. Your work happens in conversation.

It's a quiz for fun, not a test. Each answer counts toward one kind of work, and your result is the kind you picked most.
