getting to know you

I am a huge personality test nerd. I love taking new ones and reading descriptions to learn more about myself. I think it has been imperative to the growth and self discovery I have done.

My favorites for personality are myers briggs and the ennegram. You can take free tests to get an idea, but there are also options deeper analysis if you want to pay for it. I found it helpful to compare these to my horoscope descriptions to find common themes. My theory being that if there are common themes in all four that resonate with me they are good areas for me to develop.

I created a worksheet to guide you to your common traits and help you take actions towards personal growth with these in mind. You can click on the image to download the PDF or use this link. Below the image you will find links to my favorite quizzes and descriptions to help you fill in your sheet.

Myers Briggs

Myers Briggs is your classic personality test based on research by Carl Jung and Isabella Briggs Myers in the 1970’s. After completing a test you will receive a 4 letter personality identifier. The description will give you the phrases and insight you need. You can read the types at Myers Briggs or my favorite descriptions are at 16 personalities. They have a quiz there too thought I prefer the quiz at Humanmetrics. It is a good idea to take multiple tests if you don’t plan to purchase an in-depth test so you can compare and get more accurate results.

Ennegram

Ennegram is a something I recently learned about. It focus a little more on what your negative traits are. Which I like because it allows me to think of ways I can adapt and overcome those to accomplish my goals. You can take a free sample test in 10 minutes from the ennegram institute or pay $10 to take the full 40 minute test. This information from the Ennegram Institute will give you details on your type once you find yours. If you are a blogger you can check out Leigh Kramer’s series about bloggers.

Astrology

You probably already know your astrological sign, but if you don’t this next link will help with that as well. This horoscope information will give you some detailed description of your sign in a variety of areas such as personality, romance, etc.

Chinese zodiac

Unless you studied the place mat at the Chinese food restaurant you might not know your Chinese zodiac sign. This is all based on the year you were born. If you don’t know your sign start here. If you do know your sign you can head straight to this page. Once you have your sign you can dive deeper into it by scrolling to the bottom of the description to find out which of the five elements you were born under.

If you loved all of this and want to know even more about yourself check out StrengthsFinder a book from Gallup. With the purchase of the book you will get a code for access to their detailed assessment. Since you have to pay for it I didn’t include it in the sheet, however, I found the book and test to be one of the most insightful resources. It was a real ah-ha moment for me.

I love learning about my personality and talking to people about theirs. Tweet me and tell me all about what you learned.
