Although personality cannot be rigidly classified, it is still useful to identify some general tendencies in one’s personality. Knowing your personality type will give you valuable information, such as what motivates you or when you are most productive. You can discover a lot about your personality by doing self-reflection, taking tests, and understanding different personality traits.
Steps
Thinking about personality
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/79/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-1-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/79/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-1-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Determine a moral point of view. Everyone has an inherent sense of what they know is right or wrong. Many people call this the “inner voice” or conscience. When you understand your own moral standards, you will feel good and satisfied. When you don’t listen, your “inner voice” will make you feel guilty, anxious, and uncomfortable.
- Identify and recognize when you find yourself in a moral dilemma. Listen to your conscience and let it guide you.
- Ethics will guide your journey of self-discovery. It allows you to recognize the harmful as well as the good that gives hope.
- Because you live by moral convictions, remember that good always exists. You can conquer evil if you make morality your goal of action.

Realize core values. Core values are the big ideas that shape your decisions. These ideas are broad goals such as financial security, closeness to family, or good health. Once you are aware of your core values, you can set goals that match your personality. This increases the likelihood of achieving your goals and living a happy life. [1] X Research Source
- For example, if you value financial security, you should aim to put 6 months’ salary in an emergency account. This can be difficult to achieve, but if you stay true to your self-worth, your chances of success will be higher.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0d/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0d/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Define passion. If self-worth is the driving force behind your goals, then passion provides the focus you need to aim to achieve your goals. You know what you’re passionate about if it’s something that interests you in the long run. If you build your career (or just find a hobby) with these passions, you’ll be happier and more fulfilled than turning your back on them. [2] X Research Source
- For example, if you’re into painting, you’ll be happier with an art-related career than a banker. Even if you can’t be a painter, you can work as an art manager, teach drawing, or write about art.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c3/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c3/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Understand your own social needs. While everyone needs general things like friendships or support systems, the extent of these needs will vary from person to person. This is where we talk about introversion and extroversion. Be aware of how you recharge after a hard week. Do you choose to hang out with friends, or just want to be alone? Understanding these needs will help you live a more balanced and happy life every day. [3] X Research Sources
- Extroverts like to be around a lot of people and often live spontaneously.
- Introverts like to be alone and plan each day thoroughly.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d2/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d2/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Monitor your own rhythm. Recognizing when your body is full of energy or when it is tired is also important for overall success. Remember the times when you are strong and when you are tired. Keep track of when you’re hungry and when you want to exercise. You can then use this information to coordinate your mind and body in sync. [4] X Research Sources
- If you’re an early riser, working the night shift may not be good for you. On the other hand, if you’re a night owl, you’re more likely to be late for your 6am shift.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e9/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e9/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Identify strengths and weaknesses. No one can be all-round good, that’s normal. Be aware of the things that people can see you do well and the things that are not as good. Also, pay attention to the times when you successfully complete the task, and when there is a problem. This helps build your awareness of your talents and abilities. Once you know those things, you can use them to improve your weaknesses or take advantage of them. [5] X Research Sources
- Your strengths could be “concentration”, “math skills”, “creativity”, and “understanding people”.
- It’s okay if it takes a little while to figure these things out – be open and curious, and remember this is a journey that can take time.

Get feedback. Ask family and friends how they view your personality. Compare those comments with how you feel about yourself. If they match, it sounds like you’ve shown your personality in a uniform way.
- If people have different opinions about your personality, then you should consider your beliefs about yourself.
Take a personality test
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4c/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4c/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Understand which type of personality test suits you best. There are hundreds of types of psychological tests designed to assess and measure the uniqueness of each person. How to choose the test depends on what you want to understand about yourself, the free time you have, the type of questions you are willing to answer, and the cost of the test. We have the following types of tests:
- The test measures intelligence as well as neuroanalytic and cognitive function.
- The test to determine whether you are an introvert or an extrovert and how well you work with others.
- Test to see how you analyze the situation and handle the crisis.
- Test to see if you are prone to psychological problems.
- Knowing that each test has its own pros and cons, you should do your research before choosing a personality test.

Choose a personality test. Carl Jung is said to be the father of personality testing. In the early 1900s, he developed a taxonomy of human personality traits. Since then, this idea has been widely applied in many different versions. [6] X Research Sources Some popular versions include: [7] X Research Sources
- PAPI Personality and Interest Classification Test – This test is often used to screen candidates in the business field.
- Myers-Briggs Test – This test is often used to classify personality according to items such as introversion, extroversion, feeling, reason, intuition, experiment.
- Color Quiz – The test aims to classify human personality into colors with easy to understand explanations.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6e/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6e/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Take the test with a relaxed mind. Take a deep breath or use some visualization techniques to calm down before taking the test. You should only do this test when you are relaxed and full. If you are stressed during the test, your answers will be difficult to be accurate and honest. Thinking too much about each question also leads to the confusion of choosing the “right answer”. [8] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0f/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0f/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Answer the question honestly. After years of studying in school, many people are programmed with the mindset to find the “right” or “best answer.” Personality tests are not right or wrong. You will not be graded, you are just discovering your personality. Choose the answer that best describes you, not the answer you should or should choose to get the desired outcome. [9] X Research Source
- For example, you might come across a question like this, “Would you rather be leading a project, or would you rather be guided?”. Many people tend to want to choose “Be the leader” because they feel it is “right”. If you hate leading a workgroup, then you should choose to be guided.
Understanding the results of the personality test
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/01/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/01/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Know the basics of each test. Not all tests are the same, but most measure a person’s personality according to five values (commonly known as the Big Five). Each personality trait is expressed to different degrees from person to person, and your personality is determined by which trait is dominant. These 5 personality traits are abbreviated to OCEAN, which means: [10] X Research Source
- O is openness.
- C is conscientiousness.
- E is extroversion (degree of extroversion).
- A is agreeableness.
- N is neuroticism (degree of sensitivity).
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c5/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c5/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Think of each personality trait as a spectrum. For example, no one is completely introverted or extroverted. That means there’s no type of person who doesn’t want to be around anyone at all, or the type who wants to be around all the time and can’t stand being alone. With that said, most of us have a lot of opposite personality traits, just leaning more towards it. This is true of all personality traits. You cannot define yourself as leaning towards one personality trait, but must consider a higher degree of introversion or extroversion. [11] X Research Source
- The same mechanism applies to openness, awareness, agreeableness, and sensitivity.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/24/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/24/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Recognize change. Through the journey of life, we experience many new things. These experiences will force people to grow and change. You should be aware of how these changes will affect your personality. Allow yourself to be aware of (no matter how small) changes in your personality. This helps you stay true to yourself on your journey to adulthood. [12] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b2/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Understand-Your-Personality- Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b2/Understand-Your-Personality-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Understand-Your-Personality-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Changing your personality makes you unhappy. If you’re not happy with who you are, you can change. Simply setting goals and focusing on the personality traits you want to promote will make a difference in no time. If you stay like this for long enough, you will begin to see yourself differently and transform your emotional self and social ego to the point of turning the new personality trait into a lasting one. [13] X Research Source
- If you are serious about changing major aspects of your personality, then you will need to consult a mental health professional. They can guide and monitor your journey towards your goals in a safe and responsible manner.
Advice
- If you feel that the test results are incorrect, try again. You know yourself better than anyone else.
Warning
- Use your personality traits as a strength, not an excuse. For example, if you’re an extrovert, don’t use it as an excuse not to spend time alone studying.
