Use The Myers Briggs Personality Test To Finally Meet The Real You

I wish my high school guidance counselor had known about the Myers Briggs personality test.

Oh well, I guess I shouldn’t cry over spilled milk, huh?

If you’re anything like me, you don’t even remember if you did or didn’t visit your guidance counselor while in high school. And even if you did…

Just like me, you don’t remember anything worthwhile coming out of the visit.

When I look back on it in retrospect, it was a major oversight for that process to not be more useful than it was. To transition out of high school, into the adult world, with no guidance…

…or direction had to be the biggest snafu in the history of snafus.

(Hey, I’ve always wanted to use the word snafu in a sentence, shoot me.)

I can only speak for myself, but I know I’m not alone in this….

I had no clue what I really wanted to do with my life as I entered the adult world. I graduated high school with an academic honors diploma, but wasn’t smart enough to do a very important thing….

Sit down, analyze what life path would be most fulfilling to me, and then devise a plan to live that very life I’d just envisioned.

Instead, I did what a lot of us do.

Decide to go to college but chose a major solely based on how much money I’d make after getting that degree.

Listened to what other people thought I should do.

Figured out later that I’d made a mistake in selecting my life path and decided to change my major.

Only to make the same dumb ass mistake again.

What mistake you ask? 

I never once really sat down and thought about what made ME happy. What I liked to do. What activities I really enjoyed. What natural gifts I had that I wanted to use on a daily basis.

Maybe I was too young to know any better. Maybe I could have used some guidance from a family member or mentor to steer me down a fulfilling path.

Maybe I didn’t even know the answers to those questions.

How I Came Across The Myers Briggs Personality Test & How It Changed My Life

So, of course, because I didn’t ask myself those questions I was moving along in life in an aimless way. I thought I was doing all of the right things…

But something just didn’t feel right.

I felt something pulling at me inside signaling that I was capable of more. That I was on the wrong road. That I wasn’t meant to do the things I was doing at the time.

So, finally I naturally began to do more self-reflection. 

My mid life crisis had come very early.

As I was perusing the Internet one day as I do often, I came across this site. The site was offering a free version of a test based on this thing called the Myers Briggs personality test.

(There is also an official Myers Briggs administered paid version available here.)

Because I was on mission for information, and it was free, I thought what the hell. I took the test and I was given some random four letter code as my results. Armed with that four letter code, I began to dig more into what it meant.

My research led me to find information on the origin of the test, what the different letters represented and how the 16 possible four-letter codes differed from each other.

I ultimately stumbled across this book that, to this day, has been the most informative resource I’ve used in regards to the Myers Briggs personality test.

This book, using the Myers Briggs personality test as its scientific foundation, focuses first on helping you understand your strengths, your weaknesses and on developing a solid base of self-understanding.

It also helps you to understand others and how to better interact with them, whether it be a personal relationship or a professional one. 

Lastly, but not least, you’re able to take your newfound understanding and pinpoint career or entrepreneurial paths that are in alignment with the real you.

Going through this discovery process myself began a turnaround that changed my life tremendously. Discovering myself allowed me to establish a compass that keeps me pointed in the direction of fulfillment.

Not only did I learn more about what I DID want to do, I learned more about what I did NOT want to do. I now understood why I had been naturally attracted to certain things and turned off by others.

I didn’t feel crazy any more. I’d always held some ideals and beliefs that were unconventional and I struggled with the notion of not being “normal”.

I now knew that I indeed was not normal. I was ME.

And damn proud of it.
