Think you’re “just not that kind of person”?

Think again. Your personality test might be showing you your adaptations—not your essence.

Personality tests like MBTI can be helpful snapshots, but they’re not the full story.

They often reflect your current coping strategies, not your true self.

✅ Here’s what I’ve learned from shifting from ISTJ-T to ENFJ-A:

  • Many traits are adaptive, not fixed—social anxiety once made me seem introverted

  • Emotional suppression from childhood made me seem logical—but now I lead with feeling

Your nervous system, your emotional healing, and your inner leadership work can transform how you show up.

You are not your past patterns. You are not a personality label.

What’s one “personality trait” you’ve outgrown—or are ready to outgrow?
