Well, it's happened! After months of consideration, stalling, excuse-finding, and just plain ol’ resistance, Paul has finally taken the personality test that Cheri has been waiting to see: the Strengths Finder Assessment. Unlike many of the other personality and trait assessments and tests you can find on the internet, this one isn't free - it costs a few bucks to take it, but Paul has had an exam code for this test for a year, so it's become harder and harder to rationalize not taking it. Cheri has known her results from this assessment for a few months and has been finding it really useful to think about how she operates in the world, not by that which she’s most insecure about, but the things that come naturally to her. So here you go, folks! In this episode, we walk through the three strengths we have in common according to Strengths Finder 2.0, and then the pair of traits that distinguish us from one another. Before you listen, which 5 of the 34 Strengths would you guess rank high for the two of us? Do you know how you’d score?
As an aside... what are we to do with the results of these personality and trait exams and assessments anyway? Once you know your Strengths, your Myers-Briggs type, your Love Languages, your Tendencies, your Enneagram, your Zodiacal sign, and the current status of the planet Mercury as it orbits the sun, what are we to do with it? Do we really understand ourselves better for having taken these assessments than we did previously, or does it all just represent a distillation of whom we already know we are?
All questions, asked, some answers, possibly known, all in this episode! Check it out, and let us know what you think!
And...for the record, neither of us, nor this podcast, is endorsed by any of these assessments. We're just trying to find out who we are, just like everybody else.
Thanks folks!
