10 Driving Styles and What They Say About Your Personality

There are a lot of quizzes on the internet to provide you with a “report” on your personality.  But what if you could figure it out from one of the mundane things while commuting? Any guesses? Brownie points if you have already. If you haven’t, it’s driving. And your driving style says about your personality, so pay attention. It is all about how you hold the steering wheel. There are many ways to hold it, and you subconsciously portray yourself while driving differently while you do. Read the blog to see which group you fall into. 

Jeffrey ‘Dude’ Lebowski aka The Chill One 

You are the one who holds the steering with one hand at a “12 or 2” position. You exemplify the phrase “laid-back.” You don’t take life too seriously, and you approach situations with a more chill attitude. As if you don’t have a care in the world. Confidence and indifference are your trademarks, regardless of the circumstances. Whenever your friends and family need a good time, they turn to you.

The one who prefers the Zen way aka The Minimalist 

You prefer having one hand on the steering. As the name suggests, you like to keep things simple. You love to have meaningful conversations with “real” friends rather than a large group of strangers. You’d rather wear a plain black T-shirt than one with a loud print. You might perceive yourself as boring, but you are not. People are envious of your pared-down style and stress-free outlook on life!

The one who strives for excellence aka The Perfectionist 

You always hold on to the steering wheels at a “10 and 2” position. You’ve always been the one who follows the instructions to the T. You do things the right way and religiously follow what you learned in driving school. You pay attention to the tiniest details.  

If something is worth doing, you believe it should be done perfectly on the first try. You may be perceived as controlling, demanding, and impossible to please but it does not always ring true. You’ve probably achieved a great deal in life as a result of these qualities. Others aspire to be as polished as you are in the workplace, fashion, love, and friendship! You are a challenge and an inspiration.

The one who lives for adventure aka The Risk Takers 

You are the one who believes that it’s super cool to have no grip on the steering wheel … even with one hand. Through and through, you’re a risk-taker. You enjoy living on the edge. You’re not afraid to put yourself out there when it comes to love. The ‘live life to the fullest’ mentality earns you the admiration of friends, and you aren’t afraid to stand up for what you believe in.

That one panicked wreck aka The Nervous Nelly

You tightly grip and hover over the steering wheel. The polar opposite of risk-takers. Your anxiety is a constant foe. You like to go through your work several times to make sure nothing has been overlooked. At all costs, you probably avoid high-risk activities.  Your driving style looks as nervous as your personality.

You prefer to engage in activities that you know will be entertaining. That being said, you have many close friends and family members who genuinely care about you and are always willing to lend a hand in helping you overcome your shyness. Even if you don’t always put yourself out there, those who know you are well aware of what a wonderful person you are!

The captain of the ship aka The CEO 

You treat steering exactly as how a captain would treat the helm.  “8 and 4” position and tight grips. You are born leaders. You’re able to make rational decisions in the heat of the moment. Even in the workplace, you are praised for your leadership abilities because of your self-assurance. You might come off as controlling, demanding, and impossible to please but that’s not always true. Others rely on your wisdom and guidance. Because you are so confident in your abilities, people have complete faith in you.

That friend in the group aka The Mama Bear 

You are pretty similar to the CEOs. But you handle the helm effortlessly. You’re a person who is happy when others succeed, and you don’t hesitate to express your support for them. You are a great listener and excellent adviser. You take immense pleasure in taking care of the people around you. When it comes to taking charge, you prefer to sit back and let others do the heavy lifting. You’d prefer to spend your time with friends and spread positivity!

The funny friend in the gang aka The Class Clown 

“My hands are supposed to be on the steering wheel? they asked with a confused face.” Yes, you are them. You always look for humor in every situation. And your brain works differently than that of people around you. You like to live life on the wild side.  You’re a hoot to be around because of your quick wit. If the battle of wits was a chess game, you are the “checkmate” everyone bows down to! Your driving style is as crazy as your personality.

That diplomat friend aka The Peacekeeper 

You are the “9 and 3” guys. Conflict makes you uncomfortable, so you try to avoid getting involved in it. Your loved ones would be shocked if they get to Know your chaotic side. And if they did, they would understand that you should not be messed with. You handle everything with an empathic heart and come up with solutions. It’s important to you that everyone gets a fair share of the cake. You strive for balance.

That one with the honk aka The Angry Bird 

You prefer both of your hands on the steering. Especially, one on the honk, always. You are a busy person.  Yours is an aggressive driving style. You prefer to get right down to business rather than waste time delving into the nitty-gritty of things. People know they can count on you to get things done because of your drive and determination. Although you might be perceived as someone with anger issues, it’s not true. You have a strong sense of direction and a willingness to take action.
