The Power of Knowing Your Communication Style
It may seem arbitrary or generalized, but knowing your personality type and/or communication style can really make life easier. Like most processes that require that you do introspection and preparation, the road may not always be easy, but it will always be rewarding in the end.
Three main personality tests that help you to gain a better understanding of yourself and how to best interact with other folks are:
Each of them have books, podcasts, and other studies associated with them so you should have an easy time gathering information. The links I have included are just one suggestion- if you don’t vibe with that particular website, look it up by test name and see all the options available.
I personally like the simplicity of the DISC assessment and it has helped me immensely in understanding why certain people act a certain way and how to best communicate with different personalities.
The Enneagram is mystical and somewhat complicated, but really interesting and it has shed light on some of my natural reactions to life. It sheds light on both the light and shadow sides of your personality. This is a tool that is helpful for those looking to increase their intuition or develop their psychic abilities.
The Meyers Briggs is used in many business settings to build teams and help resolve workplace tensions.
Just like everything else here, I am presenting tools for you to explore. None of them are an exact prescription- just gentle guidance for your inner exploration!
