More Than a Label: Making the Most of Personality Tests


Listen Later

Join Carly and Ruthie as they sit down with professional development coach Dana Ackland, to discuss personality types and assessments. Personality assessments are everywhere now—from career coaching and workplace trainings to dating apps and beyond. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of personality tests to explore what they reveal, how reliable they are, and the ways they can help us navigate our careers and personal relationships.


What You’ll Learn:

  • Why personality assessments have become such a popular tool

  • Which assessments are considered the most accurate and why

  • How these tools can improve personal and romantic relationships

  • Key differences between major assessments like Clifton Strengths and Enneagram

  • Why personality assessments should be a tool for growth—not a fixed identity or excuse

While personality assessments can be insightful, the goal isn’t to put yourself in a box—it’s to better understand yourself and others, and to grow from that insight.
