We've been using personality types in our coaching

about personal growth through the lens of type. You can find out more about us at

personality hacker.com. Okay now let's hear today's question.

Hey Joelle and Antonio, my name is Aaron, I'm I NTP.

I'm living in Anaheim, California right now.

And my question is, do you guys have any ideas

on how to conduct better Myers Briggs personality tests.

I asked because I guess my journeys

with Myers Briggs started about a year ago and I guess I never really got into Myers Briggs because I took the test and I got my personality type and it just never seemed to really fit me. It felt more like an astrological reading.

Yeah, and one day something clicked and I realized I was I NTP and I've been running from being an I NTP my whole life in a sense. And yeah, I guess, you know, I feel like that's a piece of my personality theory in a way is that people are running from who they really are. so when they answer these self-evaluation tests,

they're not honest with themselves,

you know, because I've seen my friends take this test

and I have to type them opposite from what they got.

So yeah, I'm just curious if you guys had any thoughts

on how to get that to be better.

Yeah.

Thanks, Aaron, for the question. I just want to ensure we create some clean thinking here

It's not a test even in the headline of this
