The Power of Understanding Your Personality Type
Let me share something that completely changed my business journey: taking the 16Personalities test. This free, comprehensive assessment helped me understand not just who I am, but how I could build a business that works with my natural strengths rather than against them.
Why This Specific Test?
The 16Personalities assessment:
- Takes only 12 minutes to complete
- Provides detailed insights into your work style
