When psychologists compare people's ratings of their own personality with those of others, they find something curious. There are consistent and reliable differences between how people, on average, see themselves and how those closest evaluate them.
Estonian psychologist Juri Allik and colleagues gathered personality tests on participants across Europe; from Belgium, The Czech Republic, Estonia and Germany (Allik et al., 2010). People were asked to fill out one personality questionnaire themselves, and get someone who knew them well to do the same.
Here are the five different dimensions into which personality is most often broken down, along with brief descriptions:
- Extraversion: assesses how outgoing you are, for example do you love or hate parties?
- Neuroticism: centers around the dark thoughts you might have about yourself and others.
- Openness to experience: measures how much you like trying out new ideas or activities.
- Agreeableness: looks at how easy-going you are.
- Conscientiousness: do you get things done or is your to-do list overflowing?
The first step while you are seeking professional life coaching is to identify the situation that warrants a change. Half of the job is done by clarifying your goals and knowing what you really want out of your professional life through your coaching sessions. As some more time passes you and your coach will develop a certain level of understanding and trust that works as a vehicle bringing the desired changes in your life.

ReplyDeleteMerely thinking and doing nothing about it ruins our opportunity make our life the way we want it. We spend our lives thinking about others around us and many-a-times envying them or just trying to imitate them.
