What your bra says about you

We’ve all heard of the Briggs and Myers personality test, right? You know, the psychometric questionnaire that was designed, back in 1943 by Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.

 

Briggs and Myers’ rather complex and time consuming personality test identified 16 different personality types, but we’ve found a simpler, less time consuming method to figure out what type of person you actually are – the bra personality test!

 

Yes, you read right, the bra personality test. Your bra clasping technique actually says quite a lot about your personality.

 

According to body language and human behaviour specialist, Patti Woods, everything we do tells a story about us, and the way we put on our undergarments could actually add to that story.

 

“There are four distinct personality types — drivers, influencers, supporters, and careful correctors — who tend to have very unique ways of doing things, even small tasks. Everything you do — and the way you do it — comes together to form a story about yourself, and there’s no reason your undergarments shouldn’t be a part of that,” Woods said.

Without further ado, here are the different bra clasping techniques and what they say about you!

 

You clasp your bra at the back

You are a supporter! This means you’re pretty traditional and stick to what you know, and you always have time for your friends. You were taught to fasten your bra at the back in your teens and you see no reason to change this method.

 

You clasp your bra at the front and turn it around

You are an influencer! You’re always perfectly presented and like to feel appreciated.  You fasten your bra at the front to make sure you don’t miss a thing while you’re getting ready.

 

You only wear bras that clasp in the front

You are a driver! You hate wasting time, and always make smart and well-researched decisions. You’re efficient and dedicated and don’t want to spend time on something that might not work, so you lean towards high quality front-fastening bras.

 

You clasp first and then put on your bra

You are a careful corrector! You’re a private person who likes things to be done right the first time so you don’t have to do them again. You stick to reliable bras that you are already familiar with, and you clasp them first so that you know they’re set in the right place.

 

Last week, the men of the Martin Bester Drive were challenged to sport women’s attire for a day, hmm, we wonder which one of the four bra clasping techniques they used.
