Official Myers Briggs Test & Personality Assessment

It’s hard to say for sure without context. But here’s the thing: even if we had context for this scenario, that doesn’t mean we have context for Bob. Bob’s personality is expressed in unique ways that he prefers to operate. If we don’t have a framework for understanding each other, our mind will fill in narratives that are not always true.

Actually, it depends on your personality type. What can be a healthy expression in one of us (like where we go to recharge) can be an unhealthy expression in someone else (like where we go to hide). The more we know ourselves, the better equipped we are to prioritize activities and situations that serve our well-being.

You guessed it — it depends on your friend’s personality. Empathy always goes a long way, but how you express that empathy can look a lot of different ways. Remember, just because you feel comforted in a certain way, doesn’t necessarily mean that others will. It never hurts to ask people what they need. And if they don’t know how to answer that in the moment, knowing their personality type never hurts either.
