Huge fan of Pat Lencioni and all he does. Working Genius has been great for me understanding myself and understanding friends, co-workers, my kids, etc.

Lila, that was actually EYE OPENING for me! Thank you for bringing up this topic! Please host Pat Lencioni on the show again!

[autisticcaroline]

I love you Lila . You inspire me so much and you’re so amazing !

[GreyAce]

First time I’ve heard about Pat! This was awesome. Thanks so much!

[Ahomesteadersdream]

Interesting discussion - will need to check this out a bit more. I know I’m in the WID spectrum somewhere… ideas never stop, and it drives people around me up the wall sometimes- and I need to be very careful that I’m not ‘spitballing ideas’ around the wrong people… because they will think I’m actually seriously going to do ALL those things!! It’s taken me a long time to realize most people aren’t my people… and to not toss out every idea when I know the person I’m talking to is more of an implementer!

Awesome- thank you, Lila and Pat. This answers a lot of questions for me (based on taking the WG assessment just now). God bless.

Hi, Lila! Thanks again. Hope you and your family are well. If you're interested, a youtuber Dear Kristin did, at the very least, my second all time favorite youtube skit called "16 Personalities Interacting While Pregnant, " and the type Pat Lenconi typed you both as, ENFP, imo was her funniest type in the skit. Yesterday, she did a follow up called, "16 Personalities Talking About Pregnancy" where she even had herself as an ENFP in the thumbnail!

I showed the skit to a mother yesterday who said her favorite character was the ENTJ!

In the skits, Dear Kristin is basically showing 16 different sides of her personality in hilarious fashion literally and metaphorically! Not to be taken so seriously.

Also, I've been playing a character in her comments over the years trying help her out in my own wacky way but please know that I'm a broken sinner, and I am very sorry if I didn't act as a good adopted son of God, and if I ever acted contrary to the Catholic faith, I am so sorry and never want to lead anyone astray. That was an inspiration for my avatar/banner trying to in a small comedic way incorporating a lot of inspirations, but some of it is about spiritual warfare and redemption, and my fear for my soul and ever leading anyone astray running my mouth, and hope I never come across as a high-horse hypocrite. That's a reason I didn't want to have a smiley avatar because if I acted out and then messed up in that regard, I think that would just add to cynicism with people, but maybe that's because of my struggle with cynicism.

When I think of decent online people who I, relatively, trust the most as men and women trying to help people, I think of you, Father Mike Schmitz, Trent Horn, Jimmy Akin, and Dear Kristin, and I always feel bad leaving Kristin out in comments in case she every sees since I think so highly of her, but I'm concerned people might get too into personality typing and it will lead them away from God and into despair. If she called herself one, she's my all time favorite comedian! I think she's amazing and inspirational but hope you understand what I mean.

Please consider, and this is my opinion, but I believe every single individual no matter our past or present story, which is informed by our personality (not personality type since imo MBTI is kind of like emoticon language which is used as a springboards to get to know people's personality), which is shaped by our faith, upbringing, tastes, culture, intelligence, finances, health, choices, traumas from the moment we were conceived, our life is a precious gift. The human person, having both body and spiritual and immortal soul, is only created for his or her sake, meaning he or she is not utility property. We were made in the image and likeness of God, who I believe to be Goodness, who is Love, which, imo, means each individual is made good, and is made to love and be loved.

Our value, imo, comes from God. Not from any personality tool or people's perception of a personality tool. I got into a lot of personality stuff years ago, and that's why I wasn't sure if I should comment here and it's why I didn't previously comment when you went into temperaments because I didn't think it was good for many people, especially those struggling with identity or depression, lacking trust in God's love as their foundation, which can lead to self-worship and fatalism, leading into more depression, and as a result, despair...or just realizing the emptiness of one personality tool and then keep moving to the next trying to fill a void that only God can fill because, imo, we belong to Him!

I'd want to write something like this every time I bring her up, unless I'm more confident people aren't struggling so much since I love Dear Kristin so much!

Also, please stay away from Enneagram! That's occult! I was so glad seeing that at least Babylon Bee touched on it a years ago, but please don't entertain that ever!

ok, thanks for reading my life story novel length post, and hope you and yours have a Happy Freedom Funny-over-Fear Family Friday! God bless you, Lila! And please pray for me!
Thank you for being a light in the world!

You’re a WI too?! Creative Dreamers….Woot woot!

[kasiaseubert]

I would love to hear if he is familiar with The Hogan Personality Assessments. I find they're much more actionable than MBTI. It's the only personality assessment that is reputation based vs identity based which means the results show how others experience you instead of how you view yourself. Actually comparing the 2 can really show where there can be a great disconnect in your self-awareness. I'd love to compare the overlap with the working genius as well.

On disc I am a SC, on Briggs I'm an INTJ

This 6 working geniuses sounds like classic Barnum Effect.
