Personal Statement  I believe myself to be self motivated hardworking individual who enjoys a challenge and enjoys working alongside others with a passion for completing a project to the best of our ability. That said I am also very capable of working alone if necessary.I interact well with others and enjoy being in a positive working environment.I enjoy a number of pass-times, most being technology related in some respect. I like to play online games with friends, going to the cinema, cycling (I do the British Heart Foundation’s London to Brighton bike ride every year), making movies of various things, small computer/PIC controlled electronics projects and being involved with science and technology outreach to schools and the community in general. Spending time with friends and family is also very important to me.For personality analysts I am told my profile is that of an INTJ and details of this can be found here (I think it’s a pretty good representation of my main personality features): http://www.christopher-dean.co.uk/personality/

I am happy to answer any other questions you may wish to put to me by email, telephone or post.
