Are you a person who signs a greeting card with a witty joke? Perhaps you're quick and to the point. Maybe you pour your heart onto the page in a lengthy essay. There are many ways we all sign cards and they can reveal more about our personalities than we might think.
Of course, no card message can sum up an entire person. However, our message style can reveal how we connect with people, like our relatives, friends and colleagues.
Which one sounds like you?
The Minimalist
Your message: "Happy birthday! Hope you have a great day". You may opt for your name, with or without a kiss to round things off.
When it comes to messages in cards you keep things ruthlessly efficient, simple and match the occasion with the sufficient level of upbeat... or downbeat.
What does it reveal about you?
You're reliable, practical and like to get things done in a straightforward manner.
The Essayist
Your message: Three short paragraphs on how much you'll miss the person or how much they mean to you.
As an Essayist, it's not just taking up as much of the page as possible that matters, it's how much you can express. There's always a little more to say than you expected.
What does it reveal about you?
You're thoughtful, emotionally aware and rarely miss the little details.
The Joker
Your message: One designed to get a laugh out of the recipient as well as everyone else who's signing it.
You'd rather couch a heartfelt message in something humorous, as you recognise that eliciting laughter can be just as poignant as a serious farewell.
What does it reveal about you?
You're creative, socially aware and often wish to lift the mood.
The Enthusiast
Your message: "You're the best! I hope you have an amazing day!"
An Enthusiast's message is one bursting with positive energy and the exclamation marks to match. Whether short or long, the primary goal is to sing a person's praises and inject them with enthusiasm for whatever the future holds.
What does it reveal about you?
Celebrating people comes naturally and you're always looking to uplift those around you.
The Insider
Your message: No one besides the recipient will actually understand what you've just popped down.
It could be a reference to a holiday mishap or that one time your boss caught them having a snooze in a corner booth. The message isn't only funny, it's meant to recall memories and closeness.
What does it reveal about you?
You value close relationships and enjoy making people feel welcome and included.
