Some people may roll their eyes or call it silly, but there’s a lot of useful information you can unpack from a personality test – whether you prefer zodiac signs, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), love languages, or one of the hundreds of other assessments out there. Research shows that self-aware people are happier, have better relationships, and enjoy greater job satisfaction, so this week we indulge ourselves in how personality tests can be both fun and insightful!
We talk about how these tests help with self-discovery and self-management, why clarity from these assessments can be liberating instead of limiting, and how you can use your “personality type” to design a life that best suits you – from careers to relationships.
