In fact unless you run your own small business you can expect to be a member of several work teams. And working in teams means finding a way of dealing with all sorts of personalities and making the best of the situation to help the team perform at the highest level.

But what kind of team player are you? Take our quiz and find out for yourself!

If You Use Yahoo Read This Note!

Do you have an unfriendly email server? If you use Yahoo for your email the answer is yes. Yahoo consistently is bouncing email sent from the QuintCareers server — and you will not receive your quiz/assessment response. You can certainly contact Yahoo and encourage it to whitelist quintcareers.com but in the meantime you should use an alternate email account for this test.
