If you choose to join the KT Desert Drive convoy in Ras Al Khaimah this weekend, here is a list of personality types you can identify
Humanity is made up of more than 7 billion individuals, each a little different from each other. Yet whenever you come across a group in the office, at a party, or while off-roading, you notice that most of them fit a certain personality type, consciously or subconsciously.
So next time you’re dune bashing with a private club, or better yet, if you choose to join the KT Desert Drive convoy in Ras Al Khaimah this weekend, here’s a list of personality types you might identify with. :
The leader
He is the one who often organizes these adventure trips. He is probably doing the course for the 100th time and knows the dunes (or trails) like the back of his hand. He is efficient and maintains a pace that keeps the adrenaline pumping, while occasionally “pausing” to check on his companions.
The Gadget Guy
It’s the boy who comes prepared. He has all the accessories in the catalog and does not hesitate to take them out at every opportunity. He probably also organized everything alphabetically or compartments at the very least.
The family guy
He loves his family of 2, 3, 4 or 5 and takes them wherever he goes. It also involves each of them in every activity, whether it’s pitching the tent or sharing food with other travellers. He may be late to join the party and may not be good at keeping up with classes, but that’s just because he has his hands full, which is understandable.
The shotgun comrade
He is always a traveling companion, never a driver. He probably doesn’t own an SUV (maybe just a family sedan) and rarely drives off-road, but he goes to every off-road event week after week and year after year. He can also be the willing to help type or the one who doesn’t want to get his shoes dirty.

The stuntman
He always seems to go overboard, either straying from the group, attempting steep and perilous climbs, or trying to catch a big air for the fun of it. Splashing some sand in propulsion mode, it’s him saying “Look at me!”
The tailor
Unlike a pack of wolves whose leader watches over the rest of the rear, this guy isn’t that. It will most likely follow the tail of the group… and would be unable to keep up at times due to its stingy use of the throttle or fear of tipping over even on the gentlest slopes. He may also need help, more often than others, to tow his SUV out of the sands.
The Designated BBQ Guy
Most bring food and drink, sometimes homemade and sometimes store-bought. But almost every time, it’s a guy or a group of guys who take care of setting up the barbecue grill and preparing delicious hot dogs, burgers, albeit semi-cooked, etc.
The Lone Ranger
You probably won’t see him responding to 4×4 club chats. You won’t see it at the start or finish. But you will most definitely meet him somewhere along the route, at one of the popular checkpoints or checkpoints where you can exchange pleasantries. His choice to helm alone is an indication of supreme confidence or the opposite.
The fresh face
The newbie in the group who shows up unexpectedly one weekend. He is usually a friend of a friend or a cousin of a cousin, who thinks one session of sun and sand is one session too many and retires to the comfort of his home, never to be seen again. .
