Personality Matters...or does it?
Over Spring Break, my wife made me take an Enneagram assessment. This assessment is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. It describes 9 personality types and maps each of these types to show how others can deal with this certain personality. I WILL SAY IT WAS DEAD ON!!!! Also, it provided wonderful insight to how I can deal with my wife, kids and friends that we made take the assessment. LOL
I highly recommend you take it, your family, and all people you come into contact with. It has really been an eye opener for me.
