Do you know your Personality Type?! | Moments with Marina

Marina Accardo April 17, 2023

By understanding your own personality type, you can begin to see the world from different perspectives and make more informed decisions. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses can help you focus on tasks that best fit your natural abilities and interests. Being aware of how other people may perceive you can also improve communication in relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and even employers. Additionally, recognizing your own personality type can help you identify career paths that are more likely to lead to success and satisfaction in the long term. With self-knowledge, you will be better equipped to make the decisions that are right for you and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

  3. Peacock: Outgoing & Enthusiastic
  4. Eagle: Firm and Direct
