QUICK QUIZ: How well do people know your company’s “brand personality?”
Your company’s leadership probably has a good idea of the personality of your company’s brand. But do your company’s customers and employees share leadership’s perspective? Or do they see your company another way altogether?
The Brand Personality Quiz can give you an idea of how much “shared understanding” exists around the personality of your company’s brand. While it’s not intended to serve as a serious tool for building a framework for your brand‚ it can point to inconsistencies in how your brand is perceived.
Circulate copies of this worksheet to your ex‎ecutives. Have employees from different departments and divisions fill it out. Maybe even send it to a few of your most trusted customers and partners. When you collect them and tally the answers‚ you can evaluate the level of
Inconsistency that exists:
If everyone’s answers reflect your corporate brand as you want it to be perceived‚ congratulations! You’re one of very few organizations that has defined and presented your brand in a consistent way.
If some people’s answers match your company’s official brand position but others’ don’t‚ you need to work on communicating your brand throughout the organization.
If a majority of people choose brand ch‎aracteristics that disagree with your official brand position‚ it may be a sign of bigger problems. You need to consider some serious brand repair work‚ starting with making sure you’ve defined your brand in a way that reflects your company’s true nature.
The Brand Personality Quiz was developed using examples of brand ch‎aracteristics we’ve frequently encountered. If your company’s brand includes qualities not listed here‚ adapt the tool for yourself‚ adding some of the ch‎aracteristics important to your brand.
Good luck!
INSTRUCTIONS:
This worksheet asks you to identify the “brand personality” of your company. For each question‚ you are asked to choose between two ch‎aracteristics.

20 - 49 points: You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times‚ but you have control over your usage.
50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.
80 - 100 points: Your Internet usage is causing significant problems in your life. You should evaluate the  impact of the Internet on your life and address the problems directly caused by your Internet usage.
After you have identified the category that fits your total score‚ look back at those questions for which your scored a 4 or 5. Did you realize this was a significant problem for you? For example‚ if you answered 4 (often) to Question #2 regarding your neglect of household chores‚ were you aware of just how often your dirty laundry piles up or how empty the refrigerator gets?
Say you answered 5 (always) to Question #14 about lost sleep due to late-night log-ins. Have you ever stopped to think about how hard it has become to drag yourself out of bed every morning? Do you feel exhausted at work? Has this pattern begun to take its toll on your body and your overall health?
