A few months ago, I spoke to Ideapod about Introverted Intuition and whether it was helpful or harmful.
  
Around the same time, I also spoke with OK magazine about Imposter syndrome and ways to overcome it.

Here’s the thing…

If you want to succeed in life and business, whether you have Imposter Syndrome or Identify with a Personality Trait such as being introverted doesn’t actually matter in the long run.

I remember the first time I did a personality test, it was way, way back at the beginning of 2004.
  
It was based on colours, red was someone who was laser-focused, determined and always in a high state of action. 

Blue was someone who was really big-picture focused, relaxed and quite chatty. 

Green was someone who loved the numbers, the details and had an obsession for everything being done perfectly. 

Then white was this hub in the middle which was the perfect mix of all 4.

We did this test in a few different work scenarios and had to say what actions we’d take and how we’d feel. 

Then we plotted all the information out and got two scores. One was our ‘normal’ state and the other was our ‘high-stress’ state.

For those of you who know me, me being red during my normal state probably won’t come as much of a shock. 

It didn’t to me back then. What was funny, however, was the fact I was soooo red, I was at the end of the spectrum. In my normal state, I was a 93 red. 

Then in my stress state, I was a 96 red. 

Hardly any difference at all.

When I saw the results, after laughing quite loudly, I felt like I finally knew myself. 

. I understood why I acted and reacted in the ways I did and it also opened my eyes to why my staff behaved the way they did.

What was really awesome about the personality test training was we were then given ways to interact with people who are our colour opposites so that we could have a more succinct team. 

I gobbled this information up and applied it throughout every single shop I worked in.

I genuinely believe the reason I was so successful as a department manager and store manager was that I would use this information and adapt the way I worked with each team member and always managed to get the best out of them.

The happier your team, the more profitable your store.

For years I accepted I was this red person and I wasn’t bothered about making friends, I didn’t really care about the details and I most definitely did not like small-talk.

The problem was, this actually wasn’t me.

This red person didn’t reflect the whole of who I am.

However, after having the seed planted, I took on this persona. 

It amplified and I instantly dismissed any way of changing, moulding or adapting other than temporarily when interacting with someone else who was a different colour.

I had fallen into the self-fulfilling prophecy trap.

To be fair, for almost a decade I didn’t know about self-fulfilling prophecy.

But even when I did, I didn’t instinctively associate it with how I was identifying with regards to my personality.

Especially, as during my masters, on one hand, I was doing work on supporting kids in primary school and the other I was learning about how to effectively diagnose and label someone…

It didn’t click back then.

In fact, it didn’t really click until I started working for myself.

Unlike most psychologists, I always gave my clients a personality test and a mental health test before working together. 

I’d use the results of the personality test to adapt the way in which I was working so it would be more effective and the mental health test would help me identify the necessary techniques required to help them move forward.

I also decided early on, we’d repeat the tests every 4 weeks just so that I could check it was working and they could see how they were changing.

While I knew their mental health test results would change, what I hadn’t expected was the dramatic change to their personality.

As they became mentally healthy, their personality became balanced.

Self-professed introverts started seeking out social situations.
  
Self-proclaimed ‘worriers’ neuroticism scores dropped dramatically.

People who were aloof, tactless and selfish started being inclusive, kind and generous.

None of this was forced, it literally happened as they learned the skills they needed to manage their emotions.

Then a few years later I was listening to ‘all in the mind’ with Claudia Hammond Radio 4 on my way back from my mums one night and she was talking to a researcher who had published his findings of personality and its fluidity.

This was 3 years after I’d already figured this out.

Had I known it was research worthy, I’d of been all over that but hey, ho. That’s not my calling.

Don’t get me wrong, we all have inherent and instinctive personality traits which will come out during high-stress states but that ‘version’ of us is tuned into our survival mechanism, it isn’t who we are.

I know that if I’m stressed out I’d end up getting trapped in the go-go-go state of that red person.

But I also know, 99% of the time I can be fun, chatty, laid-back and all the other traits necessary for a happy, healthy existence.

I’ve rewired myself to be that way. 

We all can.
  
It’s part of our evolutionary ability.

The same as we can stop smoking, stop drinking, stop relying on a whole tub of chocolate brownie ice cream when we’re stressed… 

OK, maybe not the last one. But hopefully, you understand what I mean.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the best thing about understanding your inherent personality trait is knowing where to start in modifying your behaviours so that you can sidestep your sabotaging patterns and slide effortlessly into the success you deserve in both life and business.

If you don’t know what your personality looks like then don’t worry.

For the first time ever I have released my clinical personality test I use with my 1-2-1 clients to the public and you can access it right now for free.

Not only will you understand your success sabotaging personality traits, but I also break down why each trait is important in business so that you can quickly work out where you need to start to see the success you deserve.

What I mean is; if you’re someone with a low level of contentiousness then chances are you’re struggling to plan and organise, maybe you become overwhelmed by all the different moving parts of your business or you might find it difficult to systematise things meaning you spend a lot more time doing simple repetitive things than you need to.

Once you’ve taken the test and got your personality score, which is presented for you in a simple to read graph form, you will be able to instantly access the 6-page report which breaks down each personality trait and how it affects your business for FREE.

Taking action from a place of fear, anger or negativity will always lead to results which reflect those emotions.

We’re wired that way.

Thankfully, it also means taking action from a place of joy, happiness and awesomeness leads to results which boomerang goodness right back at you!
The test takes less than 2 minutes to fill in and you get your results and the report straight away.
