The personality test I took tells me I’m a A-hole.
What am I going to do about it?
I didn’t learn anything new. The assessment I took reinforced things I already knew. What it did do was frame the extreme to which I have some traits.
The big question though is am I an a-hole?
I don’t think so, maybe you would though. Is that the definition of a a-hole?
The more important question is what do I do with this newfound revelation.
Understand myself better so I can change.
Relate better to how I can be perceived and alter my words and actions so as to align actions to better portray my core beliefs.
You see, I’m not a a.hole. But if people think I am — I am. This is central axiom I belief — one’s perception is their reality. To change the reality of the perceived, one has to change their perception first.
Why does this matter?
I don’t want to be misjudged.
