What Four Things Your Personality Reveals

Posted by Personality StyleNo Comments

 

Your personality reveals many things about yourself that you may not realize. It’s important to know your own personality style, which will help you in both your professional and personal life. Your personality style can help you further understand yourself and lead you in communicating and working more effectively with others.

These are the four personality styles and what they mean:

  • Direct – Someone who is upfront and realistic
  • Considerate – Someone who is thoughtful and compassionate
  • Spirited – Someone who is energetic and enthusiastic
  • Systematic – Someone who is organized and logical

These four styles and who we are guide our actions, decisions, and general life approach. Looking deeper, there is also expressiveness and assertiveness, which are learned behaviors that we use as a means of coping with the demands and expectations placed upon us. These help to explain how we can appear to have one personality at work, while actually having another in our personal life.

There are four main things that your unique personality reveals. These are only four benefits of knowing your own personality style – there are countless more.

  1. Your self-awareness

The more you know about yourself, the more you’re able to determine what you really need in your life. Knowing your personality style helps you become more self-aware.

  1. Where you get your energy from

When life throws you a curveball, you need to engage your problem solving skills. An introvert needs downtime in order to recharge, while an extrovert needs people time in order to recharge.

  1. Strengths and weaknesses

Reveal aspects of your personality by highlighting your creativity, personality trait and how you resolve conflict. The more insight you have, the easier it is to determine your strengths and weaknesses.

  1. Inform your career

Personality tests reveal aspects of your personality that are relevant to your work environment. Knowing your style can help you figure out your career path.
