You might think of personality tests as a way to find deeper meaning within, or learn more about those closest to you. While these are both true, your Myers Briggs type isn’t just useful for learning more about yourself; equally importantly, it can also help you find the perfect winter accessory to add to your collection this year. That’s right; for every virtue, vice, or deep-seated strength your Myers Briggs
I’ve had a lot of people ask me over the years why I spend so much time talking, thinking and reading about the Enneagram personality test. I know it seems intimidating at first, or you might think it must be overly simplistic if it can fit every person into 9 boxes. But the truth is that the Enneagram is one of the best tools I’ve ever found for understanding myself
Made up of nine archetypes, the Enneagram is a personality test that can reveal so much about a person’s perspective, needs, desires, and preconceived notions about the world. If you don’t know your type, here’s an easy rundown of each of them and a test to determine your own. Nicknamed “the Helper,” Enneagram Type 2 is notorious for putting others before themselves and minimizing their own needs for the good
How do we measure worth? It’s always amazed me how much we try to learn about ourselves by looking to the outside. We take cues from others, from friends and family and even celebrities, about what our lives should look like, how we should be spending our time, where we should find our happiness. It’s not a bad thing to have people in our lives whom we aspire to be
What’s the difference between sensing vs intuition again? I probably get texted this question twice a month. I think that one of the big reasons the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (or MBTI) has had such staying power in the mainstream is because in general it’s a personality test that makes itself so easy to understand. We all know what introverts and extroverts are, can grasp the difference between people who act
If you’ve ever seen a loving gesture to a friend go unappreciated, or spent hours daydreaming about an anniversary gift that you’d never receive, your instinct in that moment was probably disappointment, confusion, and sadness. It was probably hard for you to understand what went wrong: if this person loves me, why didn’t they do something so obvious to make me happy? There’s a good chance that the 5 love
For years now the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has played a part in so many discussions around the ways we understand ourselves and others. With sixteen possible types made up of four letters each, the Myers Briggs can give us an entire language to unpack our different preferences and styles. The first letter, either E or I, indicates whether someone is introverted or extroverted. This helps explain where they draw
I live in a house by myself along with my rescue animals, who are often the best company I could hope for. In normal circumstances, this arrangement is perfect for me; my house is a quiet sanctuary from the motion and noise of my everyday life. When I’m around the bustle of production for one of my shows or on an adventure with some of my friends, my home makes
Last month, I was having a conversation with my mom about the Enneagram personality test. She said that one of her friends had sent her a handful of different links about the Enneagram, and that while each had helpful information, it was hard to keep sorted in her head. I remember when I was first learning about the Enneagram it felt impossible to keep track of each number and all
The Enneagram is a personality test similar to the Myers Briggs, designed to help us understand ourselves and each other better.
