Understanding "Self" is the foundation of all development. To know thyself is often a lifetime in coming and yet how can you imagine progressing very far in any direction without it. Are you a student? then what should you study? What will naturally excel in and what will you struggle with? Are you embarking on a voyage of personal development? Then surely undertaning what makes you tick is fundamental to its success.
Even your health management is determined by your personality. You may struggle to go to the gym because it is entirely the wrong type of environment for your personality and yet with an understanding of "self" you would know this and not beat yourself up for failing to go to the gym. You would also know what kind of environment you would enjoy exercising in. For many years I struggled with team sports. The coaches hated having me on the team as I was more trouble than I was worth. They often told me that I wasn't a team player. And you know what, now I know that they are right and that's OK. I am not a team player in the sense that I am better at solo sports. This is not a failing on my part, it is simply a function of my personality. I wish I had realised this twenty years ago as my life and everyone else's would have been easier.
There are people at your work that will drive you nuts. You may take this personally but in many cases it is simply a function of personality mismatch. There are personality types that you are naturally poorly disposed to. It's not your fault and it's not there fault. Knowing this can make work much more bearable and somehow you find some behaviour more forgivable.
Did you know that your personality plays a significant part of your Health Management? ne of the reasons that "diets" work for some and not others is that we all have different personality types therefore one solution being applied to all regardless of their personality type is unlikely to succeed for all. It's a "one size fits nobody" sceanario. PeopleMaps is soon to release a personality profile on Health Management, helping you find a way of managing your health that is compatible with your personality. Release dates to be announced shortly. Meantime get your career on track with your Career Planner Report which is presently discounted to only £11 for a limited time period.
In case you haven't noticed PeopleMaps has launched another new Free Mini Report for Job Seekers. We still have that old fashioned idea that you should get lots of free stuff on the web, which is why we give you the free report and the free advice and the free Blog.
Are you worried about your impending psychometric test? At PeopleMaps we receive a lot of emails from job seekers that are worried about their psychometric test. The first thing is to stop worrying. The second thing to do is prepare.
You need to realise that unlike most tests, there are no right or wrong answers. You must simply answer naturally. Do not try and give answers you think may help you. Be honest for your own sake. It is impossible to cheat these systems to your advantage.
By preparing, you will worry less and by preparation I suggest you get a read at what your personality report actually says. it doesn't matter which system you use, they will all say more or less the same thing about you. The important thing is to read it and prepare for your interview. To go in blind would be crazier than turning up in flip-flops.
A recent figure from the CIPD states that over 36% of employers use psychometric testing as part of their selection process. That's a lot of companies, which means you have a 1 in 3 chance of facing one at your next interview. Do you know what yours says about you? Do you know anything about psychometric testing?
Do I have a vested interest in telling you this? Yes of course I do, as PeopleMaps sells reports however we also give you a free report and explain about psychometrics on the site and in this blog, so feel free to exploit us.
Do your research. Prepare for your interview. It is unlikely that you will get to read the results of your personality "test" at your interview, so get a feel for how you are coming across. Nothing flatters an employer more than a candidate that has evidently done their research and prepared for the interview. Make an effort and demonstrate that you have done so at the interview. You can always ask to read your report and suggest that they compare it with the one you already have with you. It's daring but as an employer I would be impressed. It shows initiative. It shows that you are serious about this job.
It's not as easy as Introvert and Extrovert, as there are shades of grey in between, so it's worth knowing how you are coming across. From the job description have a think about what degree of extroversion it will require. Your Psychometric Profile will tell an employer about your extroversion in some detail. If you think the job needs more than you have then prepare some examples that illustrate that you could be outgoing when you had to be. Have a look at your CVs & Interviews Report for more insight.
