Your Personality Trait – Redefined
Manage episode 321538563 series 3008771
In this episode of Defining Leaders, Kristin is joined by Sara Deacon, Leona Kimball, Fabio Bonacquisto, Jennifer Patrick and Rick Kent to talk about rediscovering your personality and getting to know a little bit more about it. During the Defining Leader’s webinar, the group took an assessment called 16 Personalities which jump started the podcast today. They started by talking about each of their results and as the conversation got deeper, the group then started analyzing what each of the letters mean.
The group shared some amazing analysis about the 16 Personalities assessment that will help anyone who wants to take the test. They reiterate the importance of appreciating and being comfortable with who you are versus comparing yourself with other people. We tend to overlook who we are because we’re so caught up with comparing ourselves with the perfect version of other people. It’s important to embrace ourselves, especially our traits and personalities.
Episode Highlights
04:62 The other thing that also sort of made sense was as a leader in my professional career, throughout my life I've evolved from that quiet guy on the sidelines to becoming a little bit more extroverted and assertive. Not only out of necessity because of the roles I've had in leadership, but because I've enjoyed it. I've learned to enjoy it and I'm comfortable with it.
06:29 I need to change a little bit of how I interact with others so that I can be more welcoming to people of different personalities.
11:09 It doesn't necessarily mean we make decisions based on intuition because a lot of times intuition tends to be like, women versus men, women tend to be more intuitive, that's not the case when it comes to this one.
13:15 We can learn from the other side of that because sometimes you just got to make a decision, right, then sometimes you need to put more thought into it because if we're if we all make decisions just based on what our gut says, where's the world's going to take us?
14:42 When taking this test, it shows where your weaknesses are and right now I'm seeing that I'm turning more into that person that needs that list, and I'm fully ready to jump on in and turn that 52% all the way up into the 90% for a little bit for what I need in life right now and that's what I've taken from this test in general is looking at those weaknesses or those strengths and seeing which ones I want to change up.
17:48 We need to be comfortable with who we are.
