Your GPP: Goal-Path-Personality
How will your personality affect your 2011 Goals and Beyond?
Personality Type Quiz for Goal Setting in 2011 It’s that time of year again, when we set goals for the upcoming year. Have you ever made a New Years resolution that you didn't keep? I think most of us have done this one year or another. But lets take a step in the right direction before the New Year even begins by making realistic and achievable goals that we will be able to work with and receive many blessings from throughout the year.
In helping you in the goal setting process, we invited you to take our Myers Briggs Theory Indicator (MBTI) personality test. (If you missed the survey, click here.) There are many different types of personality surveys out there, but the Myers Briggs Type Indicator is very well known, valid and reliable. This guide I’ve prepared will help you understand more about your personality type.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
Goal-Path-Personality Ta i l o r i n g t h e g o a l - s e t t i n g process to an individual’s personality type can be a vital part of achieving success, and supporting someone with their goals. Goal setting is a journey with yourself; getting to know yourself and learning what motivates you, and applying those things to achieve the success you have set out for yourself. Before taking the test, did you feel you had a good assessment of your personality type? After taking the test, was there anything that surprised you that perhaps you were deceiving yourself about? Pay close attention to these things and go back through the test to identify the areas in which you found a discrepancy between your initial perception and the actual results. These could be areas to strengthen and work on, and also pitfalls that you need to avoid especially when setting goals for 2011.
When you know what motivates and energizes you, it helps you to seek opportunities that most suit your strengths.
Don’t Miss the Goal Setting Exercise As part of helping you to further understand yourself and how your personality type relates to goal setting for 2011, we have prepared an exercise for you at the end of this report. Go through and read about your personality type results, then take the exercise. We hope that after reviewing this guide you will be closer and closer to setting a c h i eva b l e , re a l i s t i c , a n d amazing goals for yourself.
Things to Note There are a few important things you should keep in mind when looking over your results: • There are 16 dif f erent personality types defined in the Myers Briggs theory.
• All types are equal: No type is better than another. The goal of knowing about personality types is to understand and appreciate differences between people. • The essence of the theory is that much of the random variation in our behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, due to an individual’s preferences of how to use their perception and judgment.
“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”
