Jung + Me = My personality (Inspiring & Directing Motivator)
I recently took a psychological test (The Insights Discovery) to determine my personality based on Jung's typology and I was quite surprised by the quality of the result...
The origins of personality theory can be traced back to Hippocrates when he identified four distinct energies exhibited by different people. The Insights System is built around the model of personality first identified by the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. This model was published in his 1921 work “Psychological Types” and developed in subsequent writings. Jung’s work on personality and preferences has since been adopted as the seminal work in understanding personality and has been the subject of study for thousands of researchers to the present day.
To all that know me, please, find some paragraphs of my Insight Profile :
Personal Style
"Benjamin is an innovator, always aware of new possibilities and different ways of doing things. Writing important facts or steps down on paper helps him keep from getting side-tracked. Benjamin could be called one of life's natural go-getters, as he possesses enthusiasm, vision, objectivity, and accountability. With contagious enthusiasm and a world full of possibilities, he sees many ideas in any situation. Benjamin strives to make things better rather than simply accepting them as they are. He is quick to spot opportunities and see how they can be turned to his advantage. Benjamin's interest, enthusiasm, and energy levels are high. He will dismiss negatives, being eager to accomplish the task. Benjamin is a direct, results-oriented person who considers facts within the framework of his objectives. His aim is to fit all the pieces of the jigsaw together into a complete picture, but for Benjamin, the jigsaw keeps expanding with the discovery of every new piece. He likes to have control of most situations and can speak out clearly and forcibly when he sees the need to do so. Only when a strongly held value is at risk will he willingly attend to important facts and details. He enjoys work that allows him to get his teeth into new projects.
He values the gifts of inspiration and intuition above almost everything else in all that he does. He is versatile, clever, enthusiastic, easy with people, and full of ideas about everything under the sun. He is a natural manager and finds himself in command through his ability to plan and keep both long and short-term objectives clearly in mind. His vivid imagination constantly pushes him towards turning his ideas into reality. Lively and entertaining, and with infectious energy, he needs change and variety in order to be at his best.
Gifted with clarity of thought and articulation, Benjamin is an excellent communicator and presenter. He appears to thrive on a wide variety of tasks focusing on a motivating or promoting role.
He helps the innovative process by regularly coming up with ideas. Benjamin enjoys work that provides variety as he is quick and resourceful and can turn his attention to many things. His original thinking generates a constant stream of ideas. His enthusiasm for a current project can be so compelling that he may be oblivious to any time and energy limitations, ignoring his own and others' needs in the process. He tends to see the environment as welcoming, challenging, and exhilarating, and if it is not, he tries to create that atmosphere. Both alert and outspoken, Benjamin can see the fatal flaw in a proposal or position but will often argue (and often enjoys arguing) on either side of an issue from a position of “devil’s advocate”."

Interacting with Others
"Benjamin exudes charismatic charm and a natural ability to communicate well. Unconventional in approach and enjoying motivating others to exceed what is accepted and expected, he likes to live freely, looking for variety every day. He is gifted with insight amounting to quick wisdom and can persuade others to follow. When Benjamin oversees a project, he offers the team a long-term vision and the ability to inspire and communicate that vision to others. Benjamin is alert to changing situations and will act quickly to get results, giving direction or instructions to others as he thinks is necessary. Benjamin's work style is down-to-earth, assertive, and persuasive. Benjamin's ingenuity, warmth, and his understanding of others allows him to proceed through life with great confidence. He is very effective in a leadership role, able to persuade others of the value of his vision. Benjamin can display quick humour and optimism. He can be charming and stimulating company and will often enthuse with others to become involved in his projects through his infectious personality. He is noted for his innate ability to inspire and encourage others around him and exhibits excellent interpersonal skills. He requires continual change in order to avoid becoming bored and is rather power and status conscious. He deals imaginatively with social relationships which generate a large variety of acquaintances. He is a “networking” expert."
Decision Making
"Occasionally a non-conformist, Benjamin is good at seeing new ways of doing things. Optimistic, spontaneous, creative, and confident, he has an original mind and a strong sense of the possible. He is constantly full of enthusiasm for new ideas. He enjoys the executive role and usually rises to challenges although he needs someone around with enough common sense to take care of small details. He may be perceived by others as a somewhat impulsive decision-maker. He is a good, practical judge of character, and tends to use intuition where both people and decisions are concerned. The best part of a project for him is the initial problem-solving element and the creation of something new. He will tend to be concerned with the effect that the decision-making process, and its result, will have on others. As an extraverted, future-oriented person, he may fear failure but knows how to turn it on its head into something positive, if the event occurs. He is happiest in a role which allows him to exercise his ingenuity to tackle one project after another. He is prepared to make high-risk decisions. He always tries to decide as much as possible through logical, analytical, and highly organized thinking."
If you know me, you know how much this is true! I know this is crazy!!! Few minutes of answering several questions and this is what I get!
Research suggests that a good understanding of self enables individuals to reach their full potential and become the best version of themself.

1yYou’re truly on a big quest ✨ I think you're the first, and the only one so far, that I know of, to publish his personality report as clean as you did. Kudos on this. Being a big fan of the teachings of both CG Jung and CD Thoreau. Following Radmila Moacanin’s book on the essence of the Essence of Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism I found also very useful also the I-Ching and Gene Key in understanding myself. Highly recomanding Both tools as a regular contemplative practice. 🔱

1yDr. Benjamin DELSOL do you have a link to the insight assessment? A while bach while on project in military did 6 week study of most personality assessments and added the birth chart analysis *time, date, place of birth. The birth chart turned out more consistent that big5, MB, disc, etc. And obviously quicker. DoB with a time and location. 🤔 was just thinking. Lets run chatGpt through all the assessments. Prompt it to be a certain personality and then run the assessment. I have already tested the DISC personalities and GPT does answer differently, but did not think to verify against DISC assessment. That may be interesting.
