Personality Tests. Everyone loves them. Just look around, they’re all over Facebook. From what color are you more like, to where are you most likely to live, to what character are you like on your favorite T.V. show. People love to get even just a little bit of information about who they are and what they’re like.
At one point in my counseling career, I worked with teenagers on a regular basis. One thing you learn fast is that getting teenagers to talk on a deep level isn’t always a simple task. So, in order to start some conversations, I would use this fun personality test game.
The object of this fun game is to read to the list of words below, and choose which word best describes you…but then comes the fun part: tell me why! The conversations that would ensue thereafter were some of the richest, most thought-provoking talks I’ve ever had, especially with those teens! But moreso, they allowed each individual an opportunity to really dig deep in the process of figuring out and identifying who they were; in the process of #DatingInward.
So, my faithful readers, I invite you to do the same!! Look at the list below, and copy paste your answers into the comment section below. Dig deep, get creative, think outside of the box, and tell me WHY you are the answer you chose…I’m excited to learn more about you and hear what you have to say!
