Liz Ritchie, a psychotherapist at St Andrew's healthcare, says not everyone will be panicking during the crisis. Individual personality types will respond to the lockdown differently, with some actually relishing alone time. 'Covid-19 is spreading panic across the globe in a way which has never been seen before,' she said.
'During lockdown our lives have changed massively and we're living this very surreal existence dominated by isolation, anxiety and unease.  'However while some of us are struggling, there will be some people who are thriving under lockdown. The way that we're dealing with this crisis and self-isolation very much depends on our personality types.'  While introverts will be comfortable spending time in their 'inner mind', extroverts will be left unhappy in isolation.

So,  which personality type are you? Take this quiz to find out.

You're a true extrovert. You're outgoing and socially confident and you get your energy from involvement in events and different activities with friends. You're the person who people rely on in times of crises. While at the start of the lockdown you may have had a positive and upbeat outlook, as time goes on you may feel like your energy is starting to become depleted as others turn to you for advice. Be sure to look after yourself as much as you do others. Too many stress responses can leave the body devoid of energy, which can make us experience chronic fatigue.

The Crisis Queen

Mainly A

You're relishing the quiet that this pandemic is bringing as you get your energy from the ideas and reactions which are inside your head and in your inner world. This time is allowing you to reflect and take stock and you feel comfortable being alone.You're relishing the quiet that this pandemic is bringing as you get your energy from the ideas and reactions which are inside your head and in your inner world. This time is allowing you to reflect and take stock and you feel comfortable being alone.

The True Introvert

Mainly B

You love nothing more than a good routine and to be kept busy. Developing a hobby is a good way to keep our anxiety at bay during this crisis. It also provides us with a sense of self-control at a time when we feel like we have no real control over our lives.

The Hobby Fanatic

Mainly C

You're an armchair expert. You love nothing more than trying to think of reasons for why COVID-19 has come now, it must be an elaborate plot as a virus alone can't have brought the whole world to a standstill? Conspiracy theories often circle huge global events, and COVID-19 is no different. Such theories can often lead to misinformation, but are often not done with mal-intent, but rather as a way of gaining a sense of certainty during uncertain times. Be conscious though of how this could add to your own and other people's anxieties.

The Conspiracy Theorist

Mainly D
