Tag: personality tests

When I was in my mid-twenties, I attended a university in Brisbane, Australia, two hours from where I lived. I had a friend in the city who I’d sometimes stay with to save travelling back and forth on back-to-back uni days. In those few years, my friend and I got really into personality tests. We’d send each other different ones—be it the Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram or the Big 5—and when we’d meet up, we’d get dinner, go for long walks by the Brisbane River and discuss what we had learnt about ourselves. What we thought was true or untrue, whether we felt inspired to change, and so on. One day, we even created our own test.
