The greatest tragedy in life is not death but it is living a life without a purpose. A life with no meaning is a useless life. This is why I am here to help you live a meaningful life. I hate to see youths who are the majority in this country wasting away and yet they could be something more. Each one of us was put here for a purpose and until you live that purpose you will never be happy.
What are you doing to develop yourself? This is a question that I would like you to answer as you read these series about the journey to self-discovery. You cannot live your purpose unless you discover who you are. Your passions are your purpose, why because you enjoy doing them.
There is nothing more attractive than a person on a mission to fulfill his purpose. That’s why some women who know who they are will tell you I don’t want a rich man per say I want a man with clear and well-defined Vision. This because this man knows where he is going and he has laid strategies on how to get there, he knows who he is and that right there, is very a tractive to most women. Just know this, you are who you attract. So who or what are you attracting.
Today I would like us to understand what our personalities are and you will take a test at the end of this blog to help you know your personality. Once you know your personality type, you will understand why you act the way you do or behave the way you do. Knowing your personality helps you to understand your strength and weaknesses and how to better yourself in your weak areas while maximizing your strengths. This will give you control since knowledge is power.
“My people perish due to lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6. Don’t allow this bible verse to apply to you in any way. Pursue knowledge and discover what makes you, you. Why do you exist and how will you achieve your purpose? Who do you need to ride with you to further your mission of purpose living?
Don’t be deceived, you will never give out what you don’t have. Understanding your uniqueness helps you to appreciate you, love yourself, and live your life independently, thriving, and loving others. You will not truly love others until you learn to love yourself. Love your strengths and work on your weaknesses.
Last week we talked we begun our series of self-discovery with the ENNEAGRAM PERSONALITY TEST and learning the different enneagram personality. If you missed, go to that blog and read, also do the test to catch up with us. Today it is all about PERSONALITY TYPES. Let’s dig in
Personality types A B C and D
Each person is a unique combination of four personality types. Over the centuries, these basic categories have gone by several names and designations, but for our purposes, they are known as the director, the socializer, the thinker, and the supporter. As a shorthand, though, we refer to those personality types as A, B, C, and D, respectively. Learning how to identify people by personality type can bring a higher level of understanding to interpersonal relationships and team building, especially for employers looking for ways to improve employee hiring and retention
What makes someone who they are? Each person has an idea of their own personality type — if they are bubbly or reserved, sensitive, or thick-skinned. Psychologists try to tease out the science of who we are by defining personality as individual differences in the way people tend to think, feel, and behave.
What is a Type A personality?
A Type A personality likes to be in charge and be in control of their environment and their lives. They’re normally not very detail-oriented, choosing to delegate details to others. They’re usually very goal-oriented and practical in their solutions. And arriving at their solutions and goals will entail a no-nonsense, bottom-line approach.
What is a Type B personality?
The Type B personality is a very outgoing, energetic, and fast-paced individual who likes to be around people and enjoys being the center of attention. They’re good relationship builders, and most people like them right away. Their driving need is for approval, so they try to like everyone in hopes everyone will like them too. Compliments, acknowledgment of their achievements, words of admiration, and even applause from groups will be the most important thing you can do for them.
What is a Type C personality?
The Type C personality is a very detail-oriented individual who likes to be involved in things that are controlled and stable. They’re interested in accuracy, rationality, and logic. People who can’t seem to control their emotions will bother them because Type C personalities believe being emotional makes objectivity difficult or perhaps impossible. They also dislike being around people who are full of hype, since they desire facts, accuracy, and logic. Other people’s emotions may not be a priority for them, as they tend to strive for the facts and let the chips fall where they may.
What is a Type D personality?
Type D personality takes a slower, easier pace toward their work and life in general. They seek security and longevity on the job and are very happy doing a repetitive task, day in and day out. The repetition allows them to become very skilled in what they do. Likewise, they won’t like it if the rules change a lot, as that’s contrary to their desire to minimize change and stick with what they know works. For the Type D personality, even though the current way may be unpleasant, they worry that the unknown may be even worse.
What is a Type X personality?
Whenever two or more personality types are equal in strength within a person, that person is considered a Type X personality. For example, if an individual’s two highest-strength personality types were A and B, they might be identified as AX and BX. In the extremely rare event that all four personality types were identical, that person would be considered simply as a Type X personality.
