The first and most important step in understanding ourselves is to explore our personality. Have you ever taken a personality assessment? It's easy, it's free and the awareness it creates can impact your life and relationships in so many ways. 

It is a great tool to use as a starting point for discussing how people vary in their personalities and to build some tolerance for others and better understand their perspectives.

The key is to not over-interpret the results. If used with an open mind, understanding your "type" can be a great stepping stone to growth and development.
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of many that are available and we find that it is an effective way to explain how we deal with life and interact with each other.
Take the assessment "HERE"
There are 4 groups, divided into 4 types per group for a total of 16 different personality types!
There are none that are "good" and none that are "bad", they are all just different.

Once you take the assessment and learn your "letters", the best way to understand what it all means is to attend our "Explore Your Personality" event that is hosted monthly online, as it is one of our foundation events.

Check it out - "Foundation Events".
Once you have your letters, and have taken our "Explore Your Personality" event, below are some fun and interesting ways to learn more about yourself and others.

     Knowing our personality type can change our lives in so many ways. We should get a better idea what we might want to do to be more successful whether in academics, relationship, finance, or life.

     Initially, it might not seem that important, but it is an extremely powerful tool to help us better understand ourselves and others. 
Here is a list of ways it can make a difference in our lives!
Be Who You Are
We all have a variety of "traits," and it is easy to view yourself as having both positive and negative aspects. Exposing and understanding your personality will help you to understand that everything about you is interconnected and that your "weaknesses" are just as much a part of you as your "strengths." Learn more about "Becoming Who You Are."
Stuff Happens
We have all have asked ourselves, “Why is this happening to me?” “Why do I keep having the same problems?” “Why am I so frustrated?” Understanding your personality can often help you to answer these questions and get out of the repetitive cycle in which you find yourself. Learn more about "Bad Things."
Follow Your Heart
"The cost of not following your heart is wishing that you had." - J Paulsen. With some direct feedback about your personality, you will begin to see that the things that you "like" are not random. You will realize that there is a reason that you are naturally drawn to certain pursuits and not interested at all in others and that it's okay to feel that way.
Learn more about "Following Your Heart."
Know What You Need - Take It!
Maybe you need downtime. Maybe you need adventure. Maybe you need to be active, maybe you need planning and security, or maybe you need casual and spontaneous. Understanding who you are and your needs allow you to accept those traits and live by them. It's your journey. Learn more about "Taking."
Attitude & Personality are Just as Important as Experience & Ability
Beauty Attracts the Eye, but Personality Captures the Heart
You're Not Alone
The world is a vast wonderland of people, yet many people feel that they are alone in who they are and how they think. You are not. There is no shortage of people out there that think the same way as you do and when you read through all of the information, it starts to make sense. Learn more about "Feeling Alone."
Be Less Judgemental
In fact, understanding the differences between people will help you to be more "understanding" of who they are and how they think. It's not wrong; it's just different. Learn more about "Judgemental."
Better Deal With Adversity
We all face adversity at times in our lives, and each personality style handles adversity in a different way. You will begin to see that your reactions are less about a conscious reaction and more about instinct. Learn more about "Handling Adversity."
Define Your Dreams & Goals
So many times in life, we are judged by others based on "their" dreams and goals, not ours. We are all different, and we all have different ideas about what we want. Some of us want to be the life of the party and achieve fame and fortune. For others, it's about stability, comfort, and consistency. Some may want a big family and to see the world; others may want to travel to the south pole and read books. Both are okay.
Learn more about "Dreams and Goals."
Make Decisions
Some people struggle with big decisions because they are choosing from society created options that are just not a fit for them. Understanding who you are and what your values are will help you to make informed and conscious decisions based on your needs and desires. Learn more about "Making Decisions."
Trust Yourself
You will learn that your path is based on your own set of values and perceptions, and that advice from others may not apply. It means that you trust yourself to take care of your needs and safety. It means you refuse to give up. Learn more about "Trusting."
Live Your Destiny
Often, fate and destiny are used interchangeably, but they aren’t the same. Fate is the life you lead if you never put yourself on a different path. Destiny is your potential waiting to happen. You can live your destiny if you are  willing to take that first step to reach your potential. For many, that first step includes self-analysis and learning to trust themselves and others. Learn more about "Destiny."
Release Expectations
Without realizing it, your expectations may be what is directly in the way of your happiness. You may expect that certain endeavors will yield the results you desire, or believe you can be in control of your life, or be totally convinced that the great life you want must contain specific components. Left unnoticed, these expectations become all-powerful. Just think of the amount of suffering - yours and the suffering of others - that comes from these unrecognized expectations.
Learn more about "Letting Go."

Better Understand Your Partner
When you know your type and the type of your partner, you can more readily appreciate and accept the differences between you. Instead of labeling a part of their personality as “good or bad” or judging them, you can begin to view their behavior as an intrinsic part of who they are. For couples, this knowledge allows you to identify differences that may cause conflict; this way, you can proactively navigate these differences. Learn more about "Understanding Your Partner."
Prevent Burnout
It's not unusual for many adults to feel burnt out and overworked. Burnout might occur because a person’s strengths, interests, and values are not in alignment with their work. If your personality is best suited to adventure and activity and you are stuck in an office 40 hours every week, burn out could be the result!
Learn more about "Burnout."
Know Your Worth
Many people think: “If I do X, then I am worthy of Y.” For example, if you "become a doctor," you will be worthy of my love. Well, maybe you just don't want to do that! This premise itself is destructive, as it presumes that someone may be worth more or less based on an arbitrary action or result. The truth is that everyone is worthy of love, respect, and kindness.
Learn more about your "Worth."
Identify Triggers
While going through the process of self-examination, you will likely start to understand better why things "Drive you crazy."  Knowing and understanding these triggers will help you acknowledge and control them.   Learn more about "Personality and Triggers."

So What Does All This Mean?
We all have our own preferences, and living our lives within these preferences normally allows us to be our best and most comfortable selves.

On the flip side, trying to live our lives outside of who we really are requires more time and energy and usually results in us being less satisfied, content and "happy".

Understanding all of this — and knowing when we are living authentically, or not, can improve our relationships, our lives and our overall happiness.
The Conscious Quest events are fun, interactive and safe for people all all ages and relationship types and Explore Your Personality is one of those events.

There is even a free event that you can get started with ("Attachment Style") so that you can see what we are all about.
