A Personality Exercise to Better Know Yourself!

in #psychology6 years ago

If living the best life possible is something you're interested in, understanding yourself is enormously important.

Dr. Jordan Peterson has a personality inventory examination available for purchase online, and

I HIGHLY encourage you to take this test!

Your results will assist in directing your decisions towards the best possible life
for YOU.

When you are more aware of your strengths and weaknesses, where you are more likely to thrive (and more likely to unfruitfully struggle), and where you ought to advocate more for others (or more for yourself) you are better equipped to make informed decisions on how best to serve yourself and the world.

You'll want to go to the website:

understandmyself.com

The cost to take the personality inventory is just $10

When you go there, enter the discount code "willink" and you'll save 20% 😀

I completed the inventory this morning.

The results were:

  1. Agreeableness: Moderately High (65)
  2. Conscientiousness: High (83)
  3. Extraversion: Exceptionally High (96)
  4. Neuroticism: Low (13)
  5. Openness to Experience: High (87)

When you take the personality test, be as honest about yourself as possible, to gauge how you truly are rather than how you would ideally like to be.

Always in the pursuit of bettering myself and the world around me, I learned, for example, that because I am higher in Agreeableness than most men and women, coupled with high extraversion, I'm more likely to be taken advantage of by others.

Advocating for myself more often would better serve me in the future.
Or as many personality professionals say:

"Take care of yourself as though you were another person."

There are plenty of positive aspects you'll learn about yourself too; my preference is to focus on strengthening weaknesses in order to better enjoy life.

To dial life to 11, as it were 😉

When you guide your decisions based on an honest knowledge of self, the story of your life will unfold in a manner that best accommodates who you are and what you need.

You are responsible for YOU

Practice your responsibility with authority, and behold the benefits of a life well lived.

Have an awesome weekend everybody!

Self awareness is critical. Understanding one's self is important towards living a successful and stress free life. I couldn't agree more with you on this, indeed we thrive more on our strengths than weaknesses.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend @scan0017

It's necessary to make the best out of life..
Thanks for sharing this..
Have a wonderful weekend too.

You forgot to check your comment on my blog!!! 😉 We 'd love to hang out with you! 🙂
When will you be in the Netherlands exactly? X

I see you're a Jordan Peterson fan as well! Funny.. Ton is talking about him the whole time 😉

YES!
Yay you're back!
Your husband and I are on the same page 😀
I saw Jordan Peterson in Minneapolis this past June on his lecture tour; 2200 seat theater, SOLD OUT!
I blogged all about it and his book 12 Rules for Life 🙂.
Definitely let's all get together in Amsterdam - when I have the event details I'll get them to you 😀
So excited to see you two again 🤩

Just one little tiny 'challenge'.. We're in Madrid from 17-10 till 21-10 😅😁 Haha! Hope that we can figure out something!

LOL 😂
ONE of these days we'll all connect in the Netherlands! ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) is an annual trip for me, maybe next year I'll fly in a few days early.
You, Ton, and I (maybe the kids too?) can kick it and reconnect.
Speaking of reconnecting, you and your husband ARE going to Steemfest3, right?

I'm afraid not ☹ Ton is not in for it... 😒

I really like this and agree about honesty in self examination! We can't truly know our strengths apart from our weakness. Ironically I've found that many times my greatest strengths have also been an opportunity for my greatest weakness because of pride and arrogance. Life has a way of humbly bringing to our attention a recognition of unhealthy ego especially not to disregard self eSTEEM or confidence, if surrounded by truthful unflattering friends willing to keep us accountable. If we remain conscious of self exaltation and having an I'm better than you mentality whether through title, position, social status, education or achievement then it can be recognizable through daily conflict and deterioration in relationships or personal health and intimacy. Taking responsibility after self examination is essentially vital for one to remain teachable continuously growing and maturing! God bless you Shalom!
