Jun 16, 2017 by apost team

Clues about your inner personality can come from the most surprising sources. Perhaps you have already come across a chart or quiz that tells you what your favorite color or go-to sleeping position says about your personality. However, not many of us think about what our hand placement on the steering wheel says about us.

As it turns out, hand placement is more than just “10 o’clock, 2 o’clock” or whether or not you are a good driver. It can say a lot about you, from what you want in life to how you feel about rules. Match yourself up to one of the common steering wheel hand placements below and you might be surprised by what it says about you!

1. One Hand Loosely Holding The Steering Wheel

This personality type is known as “The Minimalist.” You prefer a simple life. You don’t need fancy or expensive things to keep you happy because you are satisfied with the little things. You also prefer a life free of drama, which is why you prefer people who are down-to-earth and genuine. Your friends appreciate your no-drama approach to life and appreciate your ability to be grateful for the little things.
 

2. Hands-Free

If you prefer a more hands-free approach to handling the steering wheel, then you are “The Funny Guy.” The creative side of your brain is always switched on, meaning you have a hard time keeping your hands still. Your friends can always count on you to make them laugh, but it’s not always about jokes for you, as you also have a talented creative mind.
 

3. Both Hands Gripping The Center

If you prefer keeping both hands right in the center, you are “The Peacemaker.” The Peacemaker prefers not to take sides and avoids conflict at all costs. You are gentle and quiet and your friends and acquaintances can turn to you to help them settle disagreements. This doesn’t mean that you are a pushover, though. You can raise your voice if you have to, and when you do, those who know you know you’re serious!
 

4. 10 O’clock And 2 O’clock

This is the standard hand position that most of us learned in Driver’s Ed. If you find that this is your go-to hand position, then you are “The Perfectionist.” You pay attention to even the smallest details and you firmly believe that if you are going to do something, then you should do it right. Your friends can count on your reliability and they always know you are going to be the best-dressed at any gathering.
 

5. Both Hands Gripping The Top Of The Steering Wheel

This personality type is known as “The Alarmist.” This is because you have a tendency to blow your fears out of proportion and you are always on the lookout. Your friends and family care very much about you and do the best they can to help you relax. 
 

6. One Hand In The Center

If you prefer to maintain one hand casually in the center, then you like to live life on the edge. This personality type is known as “The Adventurer.” You love extreme adventure sports and you can’t get enough when it comes to an adrenaline rush. Your friends admire your bravery and zest for life, though they most likely prefer to remain with their feet firmly planted on the ground. 
 

7. Both Hands Holding The Bottom (Palms Up)

This personality is referred to as “The Boss.” You are a natural-born leader with a take-charge attitude and excellent organization skills. You also have a talent for putting order to a seemingly chaotic situation. Your friends and colleagues trust you and can turn to you for advice. In your romantic life, it may be difficult to find someone who can keep up with you, but rest assured, that person is out there.
 

8. Both Hands Holding The Bottom (Palms Down)

You are what is known as “The Reliable Guy.” Your personality is relaxed and easy-going, but not so easy-going that you don’t pay attention to the needs of others. In fact, you are a good listener and your friends can always count on you to step up when they need extra support. 
 

9. One Hand Gripping The Top

This personality type is referred to as “The Tough Guy” because you are extremely self-confident. You don’t let other people’s opinions about you bother you because their comments are like water off a duck’s back. As such, you are a cheerful, optimistic person and people find spending time with you extremely refreshing. 
 

10. Honking The Horn

If you have a tendency to lay on the horn every time you get on the road, then you are very Type A. This personality type is known as “The Tank,” but perhaps more appropriate would be “The Juggernaut,” because you keep yourself busy and you don’t let anything get between you and your goals. Your friends admire you and depend on you for your ability to get things done no matter the obstacle.
