What Corporate Culture Am I?

I took this quiz, Tickle: Tests, The Corporate Culture Test, and here are the results:

Lori, you'll thrive in a corporate culture that allows you to be a People-person.

You realize the importance of people getting along in the workplace. After all, an organization's identity is built on the quality and dedication of its workers. While others focus on winning personal accolades, you prefer to work hard at providing harmony and human connections. You're motivated by contributing to that social fabric. Because you tend to be in tune to the social dynamics of a company, you probably have an internal sense of where you stand and don't need constant validation from peers or superiors.

Certain types of companies are waking up to the fact that they need more people like you. But which companies are they? And how can you find a business based on a system that values your contributions and will really let you shine?

Well, that's a good question.  And one I'm asking myself more and more as the months go by.  I have not applied to any open positions within W/A (my company) yet, because I want to stay where I am right now.  Afterall our jobs don't end until April or May of next year.  (For those new to my journal, that's when my department (Document Management) is, for the most part, being contracted out to a document management company who is sending my job, and others like it, overseas.  I still, though, in general, like the company I work for.  There is a lot to say in its favor.  I've been reluctant to apply for another position, though, for three reasons:  1-- I really like what I do, and am still comfortable doing it; 2 -- I'm not going to apply to a department that I don't just have a huge desire to work for, just because my deapartment is being outsourced, and; 3 -- I'm thinking about looking for something closer to home, because of the gas prices.

I have to say the results above do seem to fit the way I am at my job.  I'd like to find another position where I am as comfortable as I am now.
