“Personality is to a man what perfume
is to a flower.” ~Charles M. Schwab
Don’t worry… we all have a personality!
This mini-assessment does NOT measure…
Stress Emotions Maturity
Intelligence Psychiatric Disturbance
Career Potential Level of Skill
This mini-assessment DOES tell you about…
Your PREFERRED way of thinking and behaving
Understanding your preferences can help you…
Be more successful Deal with other people better Contribute more to a team Reduce stress Enjoy work more Get more out of your life
This is not about ability or “being” something or not…
This is about PREFERENCES!
Let’s try this to illustrate my point: Give me your autograph!
It doesn’t mean you can’t, it just means you prefer…
The farther to one side or the other (E or I, S or N, etc.) the more strongly you identify with that letter. It also indicates that it is harder for you to identify with the opposite letter.
What if you fall in the middle? This means you are equally divided between the two and they are of equal strength for you; the advantage of equal scores is that you can relate well to both sides, the disadvantage is that it may cause confusion at times.
We tend to be attracted to our opposites. We also tend to least understand our opposites – this is our biggest challenge!
If we begin to understand what makes us act, feel, and make decisions as we do, it possible to know our strengths and weaknesses.
If we can understand ourselves – then we can begin to understand, predict, and appreciate how someone else may behave and make decisions.
So...what is your type???
