How well do you know yourself?

Posted under Motivation by Julie

Have you ever had a go at taking psychometric tests? NO?    Neither had I up until this week. I am considering continuing my studies into Life Coaching and at the more advanced level one needs to get to know oneself very well – as well as getting to know clients. Part of the getting to know yourself part is to engage (if you so wish) in a few ‘tests’.  It’s the first time I’ve taken one and the results are fascinating. They do of course come with the advice (which I give my clients already) that they represent how you feel today and are based on your expriences todate, and, are only indicators, take the test again tomorrow and the results could be different.  I am always saying one should keep an open mind so I plunged in ….  

It turns out that I am a Protector: (sounds like me already)  Protectors are patient, modest and diligent. They show great compassion and support for others – often by taking care of the day-to-day practical details. They are not particularly interested in logical or technical things, preferring a more personal touch and they enjoy being helpful, persistent, organised and thorough.

I’ve run the results past a couple of friends already and they say ‘no surprises there then!’  WHAT DO THEY MEAN??? So roughly translated I guess that means that I am true to who I am and know myself very well indeed.

On that note – I know I now need a cuppa tea in my beautiful new china cup and saucer bought from Boundary Mill this afternoon (more on that to follow).

Thanks for listening

Chat soon – Love n stuff
