Unlock Your True Self: A Deep Dive into Personality Types Beyond Myers-Briggs

I'm sorry to announce that the original video for this interview was unfortunately lost due to a technical issue. However, the conversation with personality expert Eric Gee was too insightful not to share. In this episode, we've repurposed the full audio and transcript to bring you his revolutionary approach to understanding yourself.

Are you tired of personality tests like the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) that feel too simplistic? In this video, Eric Gee, creator of the Utopic 16 personality assessment and author of "The Power of Personality," introduces a new framework for understanding who you are. We explore the 16 animal personality types, from the pragmatic **Smiths** to the curious **Chimpanzees**, and how they offer a more nuanced view of human behavior.

Join me, "The Weird Canadian," as I go through the process myself and discover my own personality type live on the show. Learn why you might be a "Chimpanzee" type like me—driven by curiosity, experimentation, and a love for data.

**In this episode, you will learn:**
* Why traditional personality tests like Myers-Briggs may not be accurate.
* The four core personality "packs": Gatherers, Hunters, Shamans, and Smiths.
* How to identify your core values, whether they are safety, excitement, self-knowledge, or information.
* What it means to be a "Chimpanzee" personality type and what jobs are best suited for it.
* How understanding personality types can improve your relationships, career, and self-awareness.
