SELF-REFLECTION
Take time to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Consider what motivates you, what brings you joy, and what challenges you face. Journaling can be a helpful tool for this.
IDENTIFY YOUR VALUES
Identify your core values and beliefs. These can influence your decisions, attitudes, and interactions with others. Understanding your values can provide clarity about who you are.
UNDERSTAND YOUR SOCIAL NEEDS
While all people need some general things like friends and a support structure, the degree to which one person needs them may vary. This is where the words introvert and extrovert come into play. Take notice of how you recharge yourself after a hard week.
TRACK BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS
Pay attention to recurring patterns in your behavior. Do you tend to approach situations in a particular way? Are there habits or tendencies that you consistently exhibit? By paying attention to these recurring patterns in your behavior, you gain valuable insights into your personality.
EXPLORE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES
Read books, articles, or listen to podcasts about personality psychology and different personality types. This can broaden your understanding and help you see yourself in a broader context.
FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS
Ask friends, family members, or colleagues for feedback on your personality. They may offer perspectives that you haven’t considered and highlight both strengths and areas for growth. Compare what they say to how you feel about your personality.
EMBRACE COMPLEXITY
Remember that personality is complex and multifaceted. Avoid labeling yourself or others based on limited traits or characteristics. Human personality can be influenced by genetics, upbringing, experiences and culture. By acknowledging this complexity, you can move away from stereotypes that may limit your understanding of yourself and others.
