Find your life path with a test?

No one can answer for you what direction your life should take, which career or job you should choose, no one but you.  It can be hard to find or define. I wish someone could tell me:”here what you need to do”, and I would follow the instruction. But it doesn’t work that way. We all have our own dreams, talents, experience and karma. Defining ourselves can be tricky.  In this world of being a product ourselves, developing our brand is important. Last thing we want it’s to have a label stick in our forehead right? How do I know myself? What is my true calling?  Am I at the right place? What are my strengths? We play some many roles in life that a little guidance can certainly be appreciated. In my job, we sometime use different psychometric test for hiring, succession planning, career counselling, etc. Those tests are also use in self-development and psychotherapy. They might help you reveal a more objective light on your own style of relating to life, and where you may best thrive.  I really like the different test that offers MBTI. I used different test from them for employees and for myself and always appreciated the result. I invite you to consult the: MBTI Foundation.

 According to the Myers & Briggs Foundation:

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people’s lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment.

“Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or ideas. Judgment involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in their interests, reactions, values, motivations, and skills.”

With this free test, you will also found out the personality of famous people such as: Martin Luther King, Oprah, etc.

I recommend the test. It’s free and will take less than 5 minutes of your time and it can highlight what you cannot express about your strengths and potential directions. If you take the test, let me know if it echoes with you, paste your chart on your fb page!
