Myers–Briggs Type Indicator

So then can my wife give me feedback about that? Can people around me give me feedback? So probably the biggest thing is people giving me feedback about how they were experiencing me.

And then me having to go do the work around, oh, what's going on inside of me? And honestly, I think this is why, I mean, people have different opinions about all of Enneagram, but Enneagram, DiskTask, StrengthFinders, Love Languages, you know, there's the Myers-Briggs, there are all these different ones.

Those helped go, oh, this is how I'm wired.

And so therefore, this is when I'm stressed, how I respond.

Yes, such as individual profiling.

I know many colleagues in team coaching like to use tools like the Enneagram or Myers-Briggs to bring personality into it or Leadership Circle.

There's so many different kinds of diagnostics that can help to raise awareness if that's part of your profile.

We could have also created bigger experiments.

So it was really interesting how people ticked, what made them motivated them.

So I took the Myers-Briggs early in my life, um, and, and some other leadership assessments like the Enneagram.

And so I had some familiarity with that.

Then I got really, uh, drawn into the environmental movement to climate solutions and, and whatnot.

So I'll put myself in the camp of, of course, I have blind spots.

So you're self-reporting.

the primary measurement approach is open end or fill in the blank or multiple choice questions, which with AI, for instance, you can kind of ask like, well, I want to be an INTJ in the Myers-Briggs.

How do I answer this set of questions or what kinds of ways should I think about answering these questions to get that outcome? Because I know this employer really wants this type of So there's that.

They're starting to challenge this a lot more.

But of course, that then begs the next question, which is, OK, well, if you're not going to go down this predetermined route, how do you figure out what the other career options are? And some of the research that I've been seeing is very interesting because the conventional wisdom will be like, well, you have to do a lot of deep work and you have to do a lot of self-reflection and you have to read a lot and go to seminars and do a lot of self-assessments and do DISC and do Hogan and do Myers-Briggs and all that stuff, right? Yeah.

To death.

But then other people will be like, well, the problem is that leads to paralysis analysis because you overanalyze yourself and then you stay stuck there and you don't take any action.

And it has been remarkable how well this thing has gotten to know me.

Wow.

I've also uploaded, you know, all my personality tests, you know, my discs and my Myers-Briggs and my hijacker assessment, my value.

And so what I found is the more context you give it, the better it becomes.

And what it is, is it, it breaks down these eight different pillars or domains that, that I think are important through the iron minds mentality.

Maybe they're not what the Myers Briggs or your master's class or whatever thinks is important.

Those are all great.

I love them.

Who would have

known? Interestingly enough, I took a Myers-Briggs many years ago and I was really introverted and really analytical.

And then 10 years ago, I took it again and I'm closer to the middle of introvert and extrovert.

And I am more, if you're familiar with the Myers-Briggs, I'm more intuitive now than analytical.

So my Myers-Briggs actually changed and it's actually not supposed to.

It's supposed to

stay,

And it was sort of a person, this woman, well, a person, who sort of, she had this theory.

Have you ever heard of Myers-Briggs?

I have, but I don't quite remember what it was.

Oh, is it

So I went along and I'm listening to it, and the theory was, and it was really interesting, actually, that, She said, well, you know, you don't need to answer all those really complicated questions.

You just have to tell me three things and I can profile your personality, you know.

And so everyone's like, oh, that's really good, you know, because the Myers-Briggs question is, if you've ever done one, they're just, oh, God, they go on and on and on.

Yes.

We do.

So I'm a science-based coach, a FIRO and an MBTI practitioner.

Right.

So FIRO is how we give and accept, um, affection, control, and inclusion.
