As you grow older, you will naturally learn more about yourself through the experiences you gain. Exploring your personality with the help of quizzes can be a fun and rewarding activity that can help you unpack your personality more quickly.
Personality quizzes can be an excellent way to learn more about yourself, but keep in mind that oftentimes these quizzes are only as accurate as you would like them to be. This means that they are great tools for exploring different aspects of your personality, but shouldn’t necessarily be viewed as all-encompassing and final. It is natural for some aspects of your personality to change as you learn and grow. You may also find results that you disagree with, and often those are the aspects that you’ll really want to explore within yourself.
In this Personality Type Guided Activity, we will use a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to gain insight into your interests and possible career paths that you would find fulfilling.
