"Surprise!": Your reaction to a spontaneous visit reveals your character

If a best friend, cousin, or grandmother suddenly shows up at the door, we quickly feel overwhelmed: What is this person doing here? Unannounced, mind you. And while we ourselves might have food on the stove, be about to leave for a date, or be helping our child with homework.

"I was nearby" or "Oh, I just wanted to see you again," our counterpart will probably say, beaming from ear to ear, and we'll look at them skeptically and slightly overwhelmed.

Spontaneous visit: What now?

How we react to such a surprise visit can vary greatly. Perhaps you're genuinely happy to see the guest and drop everything to spend time together? Or you remain friendly and open, but internally you're already quite annoyed by this surprise? Or do you clearly show it to the outside world that the unannounced visitor is bothering you? Or, the last option, do you simply stand stunned in the doorway, not knowing what's happening or how to react?

This reveals your reaction to spontaneous visitors about your character

Each of us has our own way of reacting to spontaneous visitors. And the most exciting thing about it is: how we react opens another door—the one to our inner selves, which can reveal a lot about our personality. What character traits particularly distinguish you?

First, consider which of the four reactions described above would be most likely for you: Is it genuine joy, hidden anger, openly expressed displeasure, or sheer overwhelm? Find out what your response—that is, your individual behavior during a surprise visit—reveals about you in the video above.
