The Reason You Need to Retake Personality Quizzes

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” 
― Lewis Carroll

I can't tell you how many times I've heard you shouldn't retake personality quizzes because the first result will be the most accurate. That's true and it's not.

​You have a core personality that is pretty solid, but there's so much of you that changes.

You're not the same person you were when you were 20(do you remember all the dumb decisions).  You might be an entirely different version of you 6 months from now.

​Every time my life has fallen apart & I've rebuilt it, I've also rebuilt myself. I've figured out what wasn't working for me. I reprioritize. I become a stronger version of me.

Throughout your life, different parts of you will take the lead.

If a family member is sick, your caregiver side might take over. Or it could be the assertive take no shit side(because sometimes that's the only way to get doctors or stubborn patients to listen). 

After a loss, your rebellious side might come out. Or the planner. 

When you're in a new relationship, your passive side might come out for a while (because you don't have to take care of everything on your own). Maybe the curious or explorer side decides to be front and center.

I take a money archetype quiz once a year to see what my top 3 qualities are. Then I adjust my actions to fit. They're usually similar, but the order shifts.

You are constantly evolving. Acknowledge the present version of you. Use her strengths. Pay attention to her priorities. She is the key to success at this stage of your life.
