In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about healthy ways to approach personality development and personality typologies.

IN THIS PODCAST YOU'LL FIND:

- Personality Psychology is a field that is often abused
- Typologies are something that needs to be respected
- Personality hacker helps identify the unique qualities of people
- Every single person is unique but we share common characteristics
- There are limited ways in seeing reality and there are patterns to it
- A good typology system doesn’t presume to define the person in their entirety
- We use different types of typology systems and interweave them to understand a person better
- Personality typologies help us understand how different and unique our perspectives are as individuals.
- The horizontal and vertical models measure different things
- Horizontal model – assuming everyone is of the same level of development
- Vertical model – levels of development measured on an upward scale
- Understanding the difference between these two types help us explore more details of an individual’s personality
- One of the benefits of a solid horizontal model is that it gives you permission to be yourself and it has you giving permission for others to be themselves.
- Typologies should never be used as a weapon.
- Horizontal models are great for permission.
- Vertical models are great for achievement.
- Many of us are interested to measure our progress and growth and vertical models are fantastic for analyzing our path.
- We will discuss different models and typologies in upcoming episodes
- Myers Briggs – studies how your mind is learning new information and how it is using it to make decisions
- Enneagram – studies the strategies we use to deal with trauma
- Graves model – study of ourselves in a micro and macro level
- The more typology systems you use, the more you’re going to see different components of an individual’s personality.
- We all have different virtues and values. No two people are exactly the same
- If the typology system is not helping you understand yourself better, then it’s either it’s a bad typology system or you’re using it the wrong way.
- Our ability to be happy is based on our emotional intelligence.
- Don’t believe in anything too much.
- Even you’ve identified your personality type using these models and typologies, remember that it’s not the entire picture. It gives you permission to be the best person you can.
