Have you ever taken one of those personality assessment tests and felt a little exposed reading the results? You know, the ones revealing whether you're more of a loud extrovert or a reserved bookworm.
Understanding those core tendencies in ourselves and others can be powerful when working together and learning who our ideal clients are.
While there are loads of fancy quiz assessment names and acronyms out there, most are peeking into key personality differences like:
- Are you fired up by non-stop socializing or need solo time to recharge?
- Do you absorb many nitty-gritty details or zoom out to the 30,000-foot view?
- Does your head or heart dominate decision-making?
- How well can you transition when plans go sideways?
- Is stating your ideas assertively or listening more your jam?
The results act like clues for decoding better ways to interact, lead, communicate, and problem-solve together at work by aligning with individuals’ strength areas.
You end up with less friction on teams, more innovative solutions with diverse thinkers, and increased coaching opportunities by understanding hidden motivators and stress triggers lurking within personalities.
These personality assessments can help provide insight into how wonderfully distinct we all are! A little self-awareness goes a long way.
