Here are some questions designed to suss out what sort of person you are. Whizz through them and it’ll churn out sterling advice on how to make the most of your strengths and (doubtless very minor) weaknesses.
Start
All about the ideas Annie
You're a conscientious person, best suited to running things from the campaign war-room: making sure everything gets done on time, and handling the serious stuff like applying for funding or writing to MPs.
Become even better at that serious stuff by checking out the fundraising, lobbying, and dealing with the press sections of this very handy handbook.
Because your imagination is so active, you don't like to focus on the hard, cold facts. If you want to overcome this weakness, have a look at the law, lobbying and maybe fundraising. Or just get someone else to do all that stuff - our attracting support section can help with that.

Power to the people Paul
You like people and people like you - it's a regular love-in when you're around. You'd be great at attracting supporters, charming people into handing over their hard-earned cash, and doing the talking at important meetings.
Hone your natural abilities with the fundraising, lobbying and dealing with the press sections of this handbook; and polish your talents for charming people on the web with the online marketing bit.
You get a bit bored on your own, so your main weakness is dealing with the nitty gritty, like the law and financial planning. You may also find that the creative bits are not your forte, but if you want to improve take a look at the identify yourself or the viral video sections.
Or recruit some people who are good at that sort of thing - here's a bit on attracting support.

Behind the scenes Barbara
You have a tendency to fret, so perhaps it's best to stay out of the limelight - put that worry to good use behind the scenes, honing everything to perfection and really empathising with the cause.
There's no shame in being the person behind the curtain; quite the reverse, in fact - your meticulous (some might say obsessive) eye for detail will help you master the law, and you'd be great at poring over the books, so check out the financial planning section.
Your weaknesses are those things that involve putting yourself in the firing line and in front of other people. So, if you want to feel the fear and do it anyway, visit our guerrilla marketing or dealing with the press sections.
Don't feel you have to, though - just get other people to do the things you don't want to. This is called 'delegation'. Visit attracting support for how.
