Your Successful Future Depends On Your Personality – Details Inside

Does your success depend on your personality type or makeup? What if you could get more out of every task you do, every relationship you have, and every effort you put into securing an awesome future for yourself and your loved ones? Surely this is the path to ultimate success and it starts with understanding yourself.

Bad shoe choice, mister.

The characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies you have are all finer points of your overall personality and how you get the most out of your days. If you’re even only slightly unclear on how your personality affects your future, then you can surely benefit from growing here and learning from others.

I created a survey and polled several hundred people about personalities and how this interesting topic affects their lives. What follows is their raw, personal, and highly enlightening experiences, opinions, and feelings. I did clean up the language a bit where it was needed, but the survey results here are about as blunt as can be. I’m hoping they’ll help you see just how important personality is in your life.

Survey Question:

How could finding out more about your personality help you in creating a successful future?

Survey Answers:

1. It might help with dealing with other people in the workplace. Should be a good indicator for what I like most and dislike in the workplace. I think maybe if I could understand all my own good traits, then maybe I could pass them along to others that i may associate with.
2. Finding out more about my personality would help me in creating a successful future in a number of ways. First and foremost, being aware of my personality type’s strengths would aid me in accentuating those strengths. Being aware of the weaknesses in my personality type would be both very illuminating and would aid me in modifying my behavior to decrease the effect of those weaknesses on my success in the future.Finally, I believe that being more aware of the various aspects of my personality type would help me in finding other people whose personalities are either in line with mine, or whose personalities complement the various aspects of my personality.
3. Knowing who you are helps you know your limitations. You can climb up as slow as you want but if you don’t know your limits you can climb too high and once you fall down people will remember that more than your climb. Anyone can say, well this is how I would handle that situation. But unless you really know about yourself you can’t really say how you would handle a situation until you’ve done it.So as you take risks you keep telling yourself that you can handle the consequences and keep going, even if you can’t. Then you risk it and lose and because you were wrong about yourself your success ends there when you could have waited and let yourself mature before continuing forward. You could still fail but that doesn’t mean you will fall.
4. Finding out about my personality would help me creating a successful future because I could see what type of things I need to improve about myself. I would be able to work on my strengths and fix anything that needs to be fixed. I could help to plan out what is best and what will benefit me.
5. I think there are a few ways that knowing my own personality better might help my future. If I were more understanding of my own personality, I would probably be able to find a job that would make more happy. I’d also be able to pick out activities I’d enjoy doing.
6. I could easily understand what parts of my personality are holding me back and change them. I would know how I am perceived and make better judgments about how others perceive me and change something. I think it allows for better control of situations, but also for better judgment in choosing options that would suit me better.
7. Finding out about your personality can help you with your future because it can match up what your personality type would be best at doing. It can serve as a guide, to lead you in the proper direction to take with your future. Certain personalities are better at doing different things, and testing yourself is helpful to see which personality you are.

9. Knowing my weaknesses as well as my strong points in terms of personality would certainly be helpful because then I would be able to focus my attention on improving myself. Creating less complex yet important paths and routes to a successful future in academics and my chosen profession would include me having the motivation and ability to improve certain aspects of myself.These aspects might be how I deal with people in different social situations, how I put my point across to others, or how I react to certain opinions/views. My patience, passion, desire, and confidence levels would be useful to know as accurately as possible, as well.
10. Finding out more about my personality would allow me to better understand myself. An understanding of oneself means having the ability to look at yourself from an outside perspective. To understand how you fit into the world. To understand both your own personality and the personality of others, would be of further benefit.
11. The more you know about yourself, the more you can do to improve yourself. Personality reviews help a person to identify areas of growth. If I know that I struggle with confrontation, I could take courses to help myself in this area. For someone who would want to be promoted to management, identifying areas of growth and improving are essential.
12. A person’s personality can have a large impact on their relations with others, as well as their ability to be a competent leader. Finding out more about my personality can help me regulate the negatives and play up the positives to help me improve my career.In the non-work front, having a successful social and romantic life would be great. While you shouldn’t have to regulate yourself so much in those arenas, it’s good to know what personality type you are and who you naturally get along with.
13. The most obvious reason would be because it would help you figure out what would actually interest you. Just because you need to work doesn’t mean it has to be /work/. Knowing more about your personality would allow you to find a job that you enjoy or, perhaps more importantly, avoid a job you would hate.
14. I can learn what the best way to interact with others is. If I have kids, I can teach them the most desirable traits to have for being with people. I could also make more friends.
15. I would be able to fine tune all of my abilities and traits in order to find a great career suited just for myself. I would also know exactly what I want in life. I’d be able to find a good husband, settle down and know who I am and where I want to be.

Knowing more about my personality could help me in finding a compatible mate also.

Knowing your limit as well helps keep you from becoming burned out on something.If you know the things you love about yourself, you can work towards making sure you have a happier and better quality of life for yourself rather than being miserable trying to be something you’re not, or trying to do things in your life that you’re not personally suited for.
20. By understanding my strengths and weaknesses, I can either fix or enhance them. With my personality strengths, I can use them to find a career that may fit me. It allows me to progress towards goals that I know that I can achieve.
21. I would know what I’m good at. I could then focus on those things. I would then be able to do better in life, make more money and live more comfortably.
22. If I knew and understood my personality better, I could work on the aspects that are unproductive or hinder me and my goals. For example, one aspect of my personality is that I get stuck on things sometimes and can’t let them go. If I could manage that aspect better, it would help me in some relationships.
23. Different jobs are better suited to different personality types. You can look into self-help books etc to improve areas you are lacking. You can also find out the best way to study/learn by knowing your personality traits.

25. Finding out more about my personality can help me be successful in the future by find a great career. Careers to me are based upon the type of person you are. If had a laid back personality and nothing bothered me I would pick a career where I would be able to constantly interact with customers or irate customers.This could help me be successful because I would not let things get to me in the work place. The would also help me evolve my career faster because I am able to stay focused and be efficient regardless of what is going on.
