Can People Ever Change?

There’s something about being able to find words to identify how you are feeling and being able to give context to why you act the way you act. Maybe that’s why I love finding personality quizzes and just reading about myself or my friends. Here’s the run-down of my favorites:

  • Myers Briggs: It’s a trait-based approach meaning it describes your tendencies in five different personality aspects (listed below) This one is my favorite reading through – I appreciate how it focuses on both the positive and more negative aspects of your personality and give examples of real life scenarios of how it plays out. You’ll get 5 Letters matching up to the descriptions below:

    • Mind (extroverted/introverted

    • Energy (observant/intuitive)

    • Nature (thinking/feeling)

    • Tactics (judging/prospecting)

    • Identity (assertive/turbulent)

  • Enneagram: This personality typing system breaks it down into nine different types identified by numbers. The Enneagram Institute focuses on how everyone can see a little of themselves in each personality, but from one dominant type emerges from childhood. This one is #trendy! Go follow some Enneagram accounts on insta.

  • DISC Profile: This one might be the simplest of the three & the most fun because each letter coordinates with an animal! It’s also widely used by HR departments so maybe you already took it for work.

    • Dominance (Lion)

    • Influence (Otter)

    • Steadiness (Golden Retriever)

    • Compliance (Beaver)
