I think the way you feel about office work parties is highly personal, so we decided to do a little digging and see if there are ‘types’ of Christmas work party people, and our research indicates there definitely is! ![]() Tina Benson, managing director at Team Tactics said, We thought we’d put this research to good use and have created a fun personality quiz, ahead of this year’s Christmas festivities, so you can find out which office Christmas party person you are! Our findings revealed that on average almost a fifth of employees have had a severe warning due to their Christmas party behaviour and a tenth have been sacked! Just less than a third said they avoided getting drunk at their office Christmas party, just in case they embarrassed themselves in front of their boss and co-workers. We paired this with general lifestyle and personality questions, so we could create profiles based on the results. Over the last 2 years we have collected research from our customer database, post-Christmas party – finding out what each respondent did at their office Christmas party, including whether they got drunk, didn’t drink at all, made out with a colleague, told their boss they hated their job or fell asleep for example.
