Have you tried looking into a little quiz/test about how you work?  My co-workers and I did one.  The categories are "ruler", "supporter", "computer", and "entertainer".  Once we identified who we were and who are co-workers were.  We were able to identify each of our strengths and areas where we may struggle.  It really benefited us as three of the four of us have been teaching preschool together for over 10 years!
