How much do you really know about yourself?

Scary thought sometimes, right?

As personality tests such as Myers-Briggs, and recently the Enneagram, have taken the world by storm – do you take the time to take them?

Are you *mildly* obsessed with personality assessments like we are?

Here’s something slightly controversial: We don't think we really have weaknesses.

From here on out, we’re hereby calling them:  'lesser strengths. 

Rather than looking at something as a weakness that will always be, why not have a growth mindset and look at it as a muscle that can be strengthened and that we can get better at if we put the work in?

This week on the podcast, we're talking about a tool that we've been using over the past couple of years to find out what our strengths and our lesser strengths are.

And trust us, we doubt you’ve heard about it.

This tool differs from some of the other personality tests out there like Myers-Briggs and Enneagram in that instead of placing a label on your type and putting you into a box, this tool gives a list of universal human values and shows you which ones are your greatest strengths and which ones could use some improvement.
