E.Q. & Meyer’s-Briggs personality
I found a very interesting Harvard study on emotional intelligence, check it out: https://hbr.org/2018/05/is-your-emotional-intelligence-authentic-or-self-serving
On another note, I wanted to share some data from my Meyer’s-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) survey, taken as guided by Augusta University’s career services. For the record, I’ve yet to locate/create my dream career, but I am steadily making advances toward it and will get there, one day…Two semesters left of B.A. & we’ll see what comes next. I always have a slight skepticism about this kind of inventory thing, because it seems related to cold reading, or pseudoscience; however, this is all fairly accurate to my personality-type..so, here it goes…
