Super Radiator
Congratulations – you are one of heck of a radiator. You exude energy and enthusiasm and are the kind of person others gravitate towards. You try to see the best in people at all times but this sometimes comes at a price as you frequently take on too much because you never want to say no to anyone when they have a problem.
Drainer personalities in particular choose you to unload their feelings which means you are always having to dig into your energy reserves. Avoid them as much as you can and save all that energy for like-minded people.
You are a person who can achieve anything you want but you are so big hearted you are always happy to let others have the credit. Be kind to yourself for once and stand in the spotlight – you deserve it.
Radiator
You are a radiator, but your open personality means sometimes that you do not think about what you are saying to others. You tend to speak what’s on your mind and frequently you wound without realising it. Once this is pointed out you are quick to apologise and your friends are usually equally as quick to forgive.
You are not a bad person, far from it, but you can be a bit of a loose cannon which is one of the main attractions you have for others. They love the idea that you are a bit quirky and are prepared to say what everyone else is thinking.
You exude energy, tend to gossip too much, get jobs done and are the go to person when others are in difficulty.
Border Line Drainer
You are a border line drainer, probably a bit of a split personality. Most of the time you are a decent person, a bit reserved and then suddenly for no reason you can be quick to anger or criticise. You are probably a little impatient with others who fail to see what is clear to you or take longer than you to complete or appreciate a task.
This means that others can be a little wary of you because they are never totally sure how you will react. When you are being negative you are draining the energy of others and have this ability to change a positive into a negative very quickly.
You are by nature a hard worker and can be fiercely driven but being a part time drainer is the price you pay to have this drive and it has probably lost you friends or caused rifts. Only you have the power to make any changes, but do you feel you need to?
Unfortunately, You're a drainer.
Sorry, but you are almost certainly one of life’s drainers. You feel that you have had a bad deal and nothing ever goes right for you. When you have the ear of a sympathetic friend you choose the opportunity to complain and unload your problems and in turn sap all of their energy.
As a result, people try to avoid you. The chances are that you have many failed relationships, financial failures or both. You are however prepared to work hard but when things go wrong it is always someone else’s fault.
You probably have a sarcastic nature and may even be seen as a bully or an embittered person, quick to anger even over trivial matters. Will you change? Only if you look in the mirror and accept that the person looking back is probably responsible for the way things are right now – it’s your choice
