Who Are You

Who Are You? For me, one of the best things about Paul Tieger’s Do What You Are is his on-line character quiz. (It could be helpful to stop here and take the quiz to get a really feel in your character kind.) It’s a fast device to help you establish which of the sixteen Myers Briggs Personality Types is your most popular character style. The sixteen varieties are combos of the Myers Briggs persona components: The cause the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, is probably the most widely used personality assessment on the earth is that it helps you understand the way to connect with folks on the job. I consider that it’s top-of-the-line methods to elucidate why we click with some people immediately and find that others are a thriller to us. More than your abilities, your schooling, or your training, who you are will decide the way you approach problems and stay motivated at work.
