How Understanding Your Personality Can Help You Get Unstuck in Your Life Part One [226]


Listen Later

Who are you, really? And how do the different parts of you work together to create the whole you? What makes you tick? What makes you un-tick? (That’s not a word, but you know what I mean, right?)


Our resident Myers-Briggs expert, Rebecca Ferris, is here to talk about how understanding your personality can help you unhook from abuse. This episode is jam-packed full of golden nuggets about what each letter in the Myers-Briggs system actually means, what those letters mean about you and how you function, and of course, how the topics of abuse and personality types meet and mingle. 


Even if you have never taken the Myers-Briggs test, you will absolutely fall in love with Becky and this whole “secret code” once the episode is over. If you would like to take the test either before or after the episode, we highly recommend taking it through Personality Hacker (for free!)


Key Points From This Episode:

  • Why the Myers-Briggs test is actually hard science as opposed to soft science.
  • An explanation of what the terms “extroverted” and “introverted” actually mean.
  • How Myers-Briggs helped Becky heal after years of abuse from her husband and church.
  • Why certain personality types may be more prone to staying in an abusive environment for longer than they have to. 
  • A “fun” Myers-Briggs personality type and abuse study that will blow your mind with incredible stats. 
  • How to escape the box that your programming may have created for you.
