I found the personality test links shared by the author in the book to be a very helpful resource. I have done the PAIRIN, and the Enneagram tests, and I agree with my results.

I have not taken the other tests the author recommended, however, I had already taken the Myer-Briggs personality test and I found it to be quite interesting and detailed.

Although I enjoyed taking a Myers-Briggs personality test a few times, I didn't find it particularly useful for identifying a line of work that I would enjoy. They can give you some ideas, in my opinion, but I don't believe the outcomes should be taken too seriously.

I have taken the 16-personalities. I found it amazing that I took the test twice over 2 years and had the same results. Anyways while I find it insightful and relatable, I believe different situations can bring out different personalities of the same person.

Oh yes, yes... Have always been curious about psychology and knowing myself. So I never run past a chance to better knowledge of myself. It also proves very helpful.

Yes, my wife and I took the Meyers-Briggs and Enneagram tests, and we found the results to be beneficial. My uncle also completed the StrengthsQuest as well as the first two exams. He acknowledged that they were all wise and beneficial.

I actually didn’t take the test also while reading. I took only few of them. It was distracting m. He could have put it at the end of the novel.

I constantly look for ways to improve and be the greatest, most true version of myself. I try to be as self-aware as I can. I adore this element of the novel, and I can't wait to explore it further and learn more. Good job.

It's kinda fun. Hope you take it, it will help you understand your personality better. Most times, it will confirm and enlighten what you already know.

I have not taken Myer Briggs Test before, but I have taken Life Wheel Test and it is amazing. The results would make you know the area of your life that needs to be taken seriously.

I haven't taken any of the tests nor heard about any until I read this book. I hope to test them soon and know how efficient they are.

I love this question; I took a Myers-Briggs personality test a few years ago and enjoyed it, but I didn't find it particularly useful in determining a career that I would enjoy. I believe they can help you get an idea, but I don't believe people should put too much stock in the results.

Latest Review: Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer

Post by Samantha Calderon 1 »

Yes, I tried almost all of the assessments the author provided in his book and I have found them very insightful. There were a few results that were down right wrong, but there were a few that were painfully right to the point of getting to me to think of a few career choices that I find myself more suited for. So, I recommend taking these assessments seriously.
