How to make your personality your greatest asset
Personality tests
Understanding your personality is more than knowing your interests and how you like to spend your time. It’s how you act and react in certain situations. Knowing how you operate is one of the best things you can figure out. It will be beneficial to navigating almost any situation in the way that works best for you.
You might be aware various personality tests that are available, and many are accessible in some form for free online. I find them fascinating, both in filling out the questionnaire associated and the results of mine and others tests. It becomes even more fun when you start associating other people with personality types, and subsequently knowing how they like to interact, or how they are likely to respond in certain situations. Anyhow, the three tests I have done have been valuable in different ways:
Myers Briggs — provides you a score on an axis across four different factors:
- Where you focus your attention — extroversion vs introversion
- The way you take in information — sensing vs intuition
- The way you make decisions — thinking vs feeling
- How you deal with the outer world — judging vs perceiving.
