Have you ever wanted to volunteer, but weren\u2019t sure how to start? Do you wonder where you would thrive and the kind of work you would enjoy? Finding the volunteer position that fits you, your passions and your personality type can be tricky. That’s where this volunteer quiz comes in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Discover your inner volunteer with the Volunteer Quiz<\/a> (VQ), developed by Volunteer Canada and Manulife Financial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having volunteered for over 4 years, I came across the VQ \u2013 the only test for assessing volunteer types online. Unfamiliar with different VQ personalities, I was curious to learn what kind of volunteer I might be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VQ identifies six types of volunteers: Cameo, Groupie, Juggler, Rookie, Roving Consultant and Type A. It also helps you find volunteer opportunities based on your type and location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are questions about your dream job, your personal wish list for the world and hypothetical scenarios that require a deeper introspection. The VQ asks you to consider your personal and social qualities, how you deal with others and how you handle conflict, among other questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My result: Type A volunteer. I\u2019m \u201ca multi-tasking leader who says yes often and means it.\u201d I\u2019m productive, an influencer and a mentor. Interestingly, it\u2019s a description I have heard from previous colleagues and supervisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favourite part was the advice on things to consider (in light of knowing your type) before volunteering with an organization. As a Type A volunteer, the VQ suggested that I avoid volunteer opportunities that \u201cassist,\u201d and focus on openings with the words \u201clead\u201d and \u201cdevelop.\u201d The quiz also identified my passion: International Development. Having volunteered in over five countries, it was spot on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it was time to receive my \u201cVolunteer Matches,\u201d customized to my volunteer type and location. I got a list of over 40 different opportunities nearby PLUS 70 other virtual opportunities available from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And hey, don\u2019t worry \u2013 if you feel that you\u2019ve been incorrectly assessed, you can always hit the Start Over button!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
