Personality

The personality types and traits that we think we know we really take for granted in many cases. How much better off can we be if we’d just take a moment to understand them? Trust me when I tell you if you have taken the Briggs Meyers profile or the DISC profiles you’d understand the significance of this post.

Many times we listen to people tell us things like…that’s just the way I am or if you don’t like me lump it! What??? That is clearly a sign of a person that MAY be emotionally detached from themselves. It doesn’t make them a bad person, but it doesn’t make them a necessarily reliable or balanced person.

Personality flaws and character flaws are very real, so choose who you want in your life very carefully of unless the person with the flaw is YOU! If so, get use to a lot of uncertainty or with effort…a period of evolving and internal healing. Let’s face it we only live this life once and we should want to make the best of it. You remember the saying life is what you make it, don’t you? You can’t make it anything without knowing who you are.

The benefits far out weigh the liabilities. So remember the shark or the go getter (no time for small talk, all about making it happen or closing the deal), Then you have the dolphin (the social butterfly that wants to party and may be very talkative…the big idea person). The whale is the person that wants to get a long (the community oriented person) and finally the urchin or the square (they want to do everything by the rules or by the numbers).

Now I’m hoping that you saw yourself in one of those personality descriptions because the easier it is to identify how you are, the easier it is to see your behavior and traits. There are people as mentioned above that have done and do deep thorough comprehensive studies on this topic. You don’t have to go that far, but to know the basics should be an asset to you.

The sooner you recognize your personality type the easier it will be to understand why you do or don’t get a long with certain people. This goes for people in your place of worship, in your workplace, in your community and everywhere! As a business owner or salesperson this will help you figure out how to help people and how to sell people.
