What is Your Mennonite Personality Type?
The Preacher
You are a natural leader. You are can get people to do whatever you want them to do, either through persuasion or, if necessary, discipline. You are an eloquent speaker, but tend to love the sound of your own voice a little too much.
The Rebel Menno
You have some connection to the Mennonite faith, but it might only be a surname or a love for sausage. You tend to pave your own path and don't really care what the church or your family might think.
The Shekjbenjel
Although you tend to take a backseat to others, you are multi-talented. Your skills are often unrecognized and unappreciated, but you are an essential part of the Mennonite community, the glue that holds it all together.

The Conscientious Objector
You have strong principles and are not afraid to voice your opinion even if it runs contrary to the rest of society. You are peace-loving and try to seek ways to solve conflicts without violence.
The Quilting Oma
