Have compassion for people whose personality traits are not currently in demand and highly paid. They were needed in the past, and they probably will be needed in the future. Don't cancel them. The present circumstances are just a roll of the dice and times change.

[GaryLArnell]

This should be the first lecture in every introductory college psychology course. It makes the field super relevant and applicable.

[jarredthomas]

He's referencing the Factor 5 model of personality. A psychologist recommended I take a 300 question assessment to help me understand my personality. Its called the IPIP-NEO. I hope thats helpful for people reading the comments.

I worked in software for 30 years. What I saw is that those who did best were most often the good politicians. They either knew who to crawl to, or they had gotten control of something important, and made sure others did not understand it. The software engineer who is clever, diligent and writes good clear code, that works well and is easy to maintain is easy to lay off. The software engineer who writes poor code that no-one else can understand is hard to lay off because they are hard to replace. Managers rarely know how good an engineer is, all they know is the image they create. I have seen engineers who rush their work, creating lots of bugs in poor code, become the favourite of the boss. And intelligence is not a predictor of success in software engineering, I’ve seen stupid people do much better than clever ones, because they have social skills that allow them to please the boss, even when their work is mediocre. This is in the UK, we don’t respect training, or intelligence. Trades do succeed based on ability. A good plumber gets a reputation and has no trouble finding customers, in fact they usually have to turn them away, or make them wait months.

I found my niche in ICU nursing. I worked night shift. Most families, doctors, and hospital staff were on days. Most of my patients were unconscious. I did enjoy the job and even enjoyed the teaching (families) aspect. I had 12 hours (and I might never see them again) to use the science of nursing to move people towards a less critical level and make them comfortable...all by myself.

Often figuring one's own nature and find out how to move forward according to it is much harder than evaluating other people.

[HomesteadMountain]

Interesting that he mentions dogs in relation to industriousness in that working dogs see their work as a game. Also it is a game in which they receive reward upon successful outcome. Perhaps there is a connection there worth exploring between game and industriousness in humans.

I'm an introvert and the career advice he gave was literally life changing. I can be outgoing and social at times, but it's more show I guess

[ObinnaOkehie]

I'm jealous of those students that get to have this man as their professor. ❤️🙌🏾👌🏾

Imagine having to listen to wisdom spewed so eloquently on a regular basis.

[maryalarid]

Reading, then closing the book to write a summary by remembering what you read, that is useful. Thank you!

7:14 That guy awkardly trying to enter as not to interrupt Peterson is hilarious haha

[angecynthia]

I was pushed to be agreeable by my narcissistic family..however as I broke off, I am disagreeable and can stand for myself

[mingleite]

I was borne in a place and time where virtue had a high social currency....and that meant being agreeable to peers, no contradiction to elders, focus on just one repetitive redundant work with no socialising, and no option for creativity. With that kind of upbringing, it's difficult to fit in today's world stage where self expressions, debate, and networking are the way to go.

I love this subject. I keep thinking about the personality breakdown of people I meet, and describe people using the Big5 dimensions.

[anonomyss]

I forced myself to act more industrious and conscientious than I really was because I was in survival mode. Then when everything finally calmed down... I didn't know who I was anymore because I hadn't even realized what I'd done.

[Boz]

Just did the personality test and I’m glad that I seem to be on the right track. I have very low agreeableness, am relatively introverted, have low conscientiousness, high openness and low neuroticism. I’m working to be more disciplined and to improve my conscientiousness and as someone who is studying accounting in uni and who wants to be an entrepreneur I’m glad that my personality seems suited towards that.

[Luna-szuq]

I took the Understanding myself test by Dr. Peterson and I turned out to be more extroverted than I thought. It’s very helpful. Best $10 I’ve ever spent. I highly recommend it.

[merconne]

And they deemed this guy unfit to keep his license??

[Lance_MadCat]

Thank you! This short made me focus on how to move forward in life logically. Very grateful!

[catchingstars]

Wonderful video!! It's been a huge eye-opener for me to understand that conscientiousness refers to the word 'consciousness' aka (in my interpretation) mindfully listening to the right-brain's subconscious pattern recognition.
And the insight that some people are stuck in the word because they lack the ability to re-structure their place in the world and don't exchange their envirionment for one where they're better suited to function.
