What are personality tests?

Personality tests are quite popular these days, epecially on social media. These are fun and engaging tests that claim to reveal a person's true nature, though they are not scientifically proven. One such test, which was initially shared by Times Now, claims to decode a person's lesser-known personality traits based on how they hold their phone. Sounds interesting, right? Notice how you hold your phone, and read below what this can tell about you.
Also, do note that this test is just for fun and the result might not be 100 percent accurate.

2/5

Holding the phone in one hand and scroll using the thumb of that same hand

If you hold your phone in one hand and scroll using the thumb of that same hand, it reveals your carefree and confident nature. You take on life’s ups and downs with a positive attitude and trust in your own abilities. Your adventurous spirit keeps you moving forward and open to new experiences. However, your spontaneity can sometimes lead to rushed decisions or missed details. While your boldness is a strength, a little more pause and attention could help you make even better choices.

3/5

Using both hands, and using one thumb to scroll

If you hold your phone with both hands but scroll using just one thumb, it hints at a thoughtful and cautious personality. You tend to observe carefully before acting and rely on both logic and intuition to guide you. Your calm presence, empathy, and attention to detail make you someone people naturally turn to for sound advice. You're not easily swayed by chaos—instead, you approach situations with steady clarity and strong values, earning the respect and trust of those around you.

4/5

Using both hands and thumbs to hold the phone

Holding your phone with both hands and using both thumbs suggests you’re energetic, quick-thinking, and highly adaptable. You thrive in fast-paced situations, effortlessly analyzing problems and jumping into action. Your lively personality lights up any room, and your competitive edge pushes you to excel when the pressure’s on. Whether it’s a tough task or a social setting, you bring enthusiasm, focus, and drive—making you someone others rely on to get things done and keep the momentum going.


5/5

Using one-hand to hold the phone, and the index finger of the other hand to scroll

If you hold your phone in one hand and use the index finger of the other to scroll or type, it reflects your calm, composed personality. You tend to think things through before acting, showing patience and emotional resilience in most situations. Life has taught you valuable lessons, and you apply that wisdom with grace. Your thoughtful communication style and warm, engaging presence make people feel heard and valued. You leave a lasting impression—not by being loud, but by being genuine and deeply present.
