Personalities

After some personality-based assignments in her doctoral program at WILMU, Adrienne shared her homework with her mateys! In episode 89, the pirates tried and compared the results of three different personality assessments!

According to Tony Robbins, personality tests can, "help individuals better understand their strengths and weaknesses so that they can become the best version of themselves." You know that's something the pirates can get behind! 

Here's what they took: 

• 16 Personalities - According to their site, this free assessment can help you to understand others, understand your teams, and strengthen your relationships. Although the coded results may look similar to the Myers-Briggs assessment, the science behind 16 Personalities is slightly different. 16 Personalities is based on five personality aspects: mind, energy, nature, tactics, and identity.
  
  So how did the pirates rate? All three were deemed to be CONSULS (ESFJ):
  
  A Consul (ESFJ) is a person with the Extraverted, Observant, Feeling, and Judging personality traits. They are attentive and people-focused, and they enjoy taking part in their social community. Their achievements are guided by decisive values, and they willingly offer guidance to others... Consuls have a talent for making the people in their lives feel supported, cared for, and secure.
  
  The fifth dimesion was the only area where we differed. Shawna was Assertive (ESFJ-A meaning she is self-assured, even-tempered and resistent to stress). Denise and Adrienne were Turbulent (ESFJ-T meaning they are self-conscious and sensitive to stress). 
  
  How do you think we matched up? 
  
  
• Color Code  - The Color Code digs into primary motivations - helping you to understand WHY you do what you do. The assessment boils down to four different colors:
  
  
  
  
  
  Can you guess where the pirates landed? We were all BLUE!  You can take this assessment for free to learn your primary color. You'll also have the option to pay for your full results to get a color-coded pie chart showing exactly how much you fall into each color. 
  
  
• Which Winnie the Pooh Character are You? - Ok, this one was just for fun, and was the only assessment where we strongly differed! Can you guess what characters we were? Denise was Christopher Robin, Adrienne was Kanga, and Shawna was Eyeore (oh bother!).
