Royal Caribbean creates vacation personality quiz

Royal Caribbean International has teamed with a well-known developer of personality profiles to create a test for potential cruisers.

The 13-question quiz, at MyAdventurePersonality.com, is designed to tell travellers whether they are "spontaneous sightseers," "laidback wanderers," or another type based on the methodology supplied by the Myers-Briggs Co.

After completing the online survey, quiz takers receive a description of who they are as a traveller, along with insight into destinations and activities that best suit them, Royal Caribbean said.

"Vacations are one of the few times in life we're truly allowed to focus on ourselves, so the more we know about our own personality type, the more relaxing and fun we can make them," said Jeff Hayes, CEO of CPP -- The Myers-Briggs Co.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment was developed in 1943 and is a popular evaluation tool in corporate HR departments. It is derived from a theory of personality developed by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung.
