If you want to not just survive but thrive, really get to know yourself deeply.
You might want to shy away from all the imperfect stuff or the uncomfortable feelings.
I get it. I used to do the same.
I mean, it’s hard work and can feel really uncomfortable for a while there.
Why would we pour salt into the wound?
Because healing is on the other side. A deep feeling of relief, calmness and understanding. It’s grounding. It gives you a solid foundation for moving forwards confidently and with much more ease.
That’s why!
One way of discovering more about yourself is through personality tests.
I love the Clifton Strengths Finder®️ from Gallup.
I took the assessment a few years ago and I was amazed at how accurately I was described. The results help me understand myself more, articulate what I’m good at and that I’ve chosen the right career.
My top five strengths are:
Responsibility – I take psychological responsibility for anything I commit to and feel emotionally bound to see it through to completion.
Consistency – Balance is important to me and I feel a deep need to treat everyone the same.
Connectedness – I’m sure that things happen for a reason and that we are all connected.
Discipline – My world needs to be predictable, ordered and planned. I love structure and routines. I’m not necessarily neat and clean but I need precision.
Context – I look back because that’s where the answers lie. I look back to understand the present. I become wiser about the present and the future because I see where the seeds were sown in the past.
It’s mind-blowing how accurately it describes me and how well it suits my profession.
I often recommend this test to my clients to help them find out more about themselves.
My oldest son is taking the test before he starts applying for apprenticeships.
So, which tests do you like and why? Comment below and let me know.
