What kind of flower are you?

Here you can take a simple test – with a scientific basis. In Uppsala, we love both flowers and science. Therefore, we have created a test based on Carl Linnaeus’ plant sexual system and Jung’s personality types.

It is easy to apply attributes to plants, in the same way one applies them to humans. Some are tough, others more romantic. There are the independent ones, and the almost clingy. The early risers, and those that blossom in the evening. Some are firmly rooted while others are more fleeting.

Here you can read more about the flowers that are included in the test. Which one of them are you?

Test:

Which flower are you

1. You enter a room full of people and there are both familiar and unfamiliar faces.*
- Are you happy to sit down at the centre of the crowd?
- Or do you prefer staying in the periphery?
2. On a day off you are standing by a lake. The air is pleasantly balmy. The water isn't especially warm, but a quick dip would be fine.*
- Do you want to jump into the water?
- Or does staying on the beach seem more appealing?
3. You can see smoke in the horizon.*
- Do you assume that something is on fire – the worst-case scenario being a house filled with people?
- Or do you assume that it is just smoke, since you cannot see any fire?
4. There are twenty people in front of you. They are of various ages, and some are happy and some are sad. You have ten biscuits to hand out among them.*
- Do you give half a biscuit to each person, to be fair?
- Or do you give more biscuits to those who are sad?
5. Imagine that June and July have been warm and sunny. It is now August and the summer sun is as hot as ever.*
- Do you continue spending time in the sun when you can?
- Or have you had enough and choose to sit in the shade instead?
6. You know what is going to happen in the near future – both good and bad things.*
- Are you happier when things go according to plan?
- Or do you like sudden surprises?
