5 Voices – Simplify and Understand Personality Types

5 Voices – Simplify and Understand Personality Types

We have all taken the Meyers-Briggs personality test at one time or another.  It goes something like this:

  • Take the test
  • Get the results, okay, so I’m an INFJ
  • What does this mean and what do I do with this info?
  • Confusion sets in and you move on

5 Voices, How to Communicate Effectively with Everyone you Lead helps simplify and understand the 16 different personality types by narrowing them down to 5 categories.  Listed below from softest to loudest voice:

  1. Nurturer
  2. Creative
  3. Guardian
  4. Connector
  5. Pioneer (I’m a Pioneer)

The assessment is free and easy: https://5voices.com/assessment/

If you are not much of a reader, the founders have a podcast, “The Liberators,” available via their website:  https://giantworldwide.com/liberator-podcast/ or on Apple.

What have I learned from this?

  1. Self-awareness – A better understanding of my conscious and unconscious positive and negative tendencies. Understanding how my actions and reactions affect colleagues, family, friends and myself.
  2. Understanding people around you – Mindful and meaningful interactions with others
  3. Conflict Resolution – Less fearful of addressing conflict. When you understand who you are and those around you, it is easier to talk through issues verses sweeping them under the rug.
