WHAT’S YOUR HUMOUR STYLE?

-

The Sniper (Aggressive­Subtle):

Snipers are edgy, sarcastic and nuanced – unafraid to cross lines in pursuit of a laugh. They describe their humour as an “acquired taste” with a delivery that tends to be dry. If you have a way of landing a deadly one-liner with a perfectly deadpan delivery, and aren’t afraid to cross lines, this is your style.

The Magnet (Affiliativ­eExpressiv­e):

Magnets have an ability to boost people’s moods with unwavering good cheer. They keep things positive, warm and uplifting, avoiding controvers­ial or upsetting humour while radiating charisma. Their delivery tends to be animated and sometimes even slapstick. They readily slip into impersonat­ions and characters.

The Sweetheart (Affiliativ­e-Subtle):

Sweetheart­s are earnest and honest and use humour as a tool to lift up those around them and bring people together. If you have an optimistic bent to your humour, aren’t interested in the limelight, and prefer to plan out what you’ll say, you might lean toward the Sweetheart style.

The Stand-up (Aggressive­Expressive):

Stand-ups are natural entertaine­rs who aren’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers to get a laugh. They come alive in front of crowds, and in group situations are almost always the ones cracking jokes. Source: Humour, Seriously: Why Humour Is A Superpower At Work And In Life.
