Life is full of change, ups and downs, and uncertainty. These elements can make it challenging to maintain positive thinking and a positive outlook on life. When you’re going through a difficult time or trying to adapt to new circumstances, it can be tempting to...implement the same old habits that haven’t worked in the past. The problem is that this just won’t work this time. If you’re an improver, you tend to question old habits and try new approaches instead of falling back on what has always worked for you in the past. If you’re a planner, on the other hand, you tend to mull over your options before making a decision so as not to disrupt pre-existing plans unnecessarily. Here’s how these two different personality traits might help or hurt your life depending on which one suits your natural tendencies best:
What’s Your Personality Type?
If you’d like to better understand your personality type and how it fits into your life right now, you can use the Psychological Type Indicator (PTI). First, you’ll want to identify which of the eight Myers-Briggs Personality Types you are. Then, you’ll want to match that to the corresponding characteristics of your personality type. You might do this by taking a look at the table below. If you’re an introvert and you tend to be quiet and reserved, that might be a great indication that you’re an introverted thinker. On the other hand, if you’re an extrovert and you like to be around others, that might be a sign that you’re an intuitive. You can use the table and chart below to get a better understanding of yourself in relation to the various personality types. If you’d like to take a better look at your personality type, that’s an excellent place to start.
Planners Are Rigorous By Nature
Planners are by nature rigorous because they tend to be meticulous and thorough in their approach to things. They’re rigorous because they’re thoughtful and deliberate in the way that they approach life. They don’t let things fall through the cracks. They tend to be very organized and like to have a detailed plan of what they want to accomplish. They tend to be very goal-oriented and like to have a plan for every aspect of their life. They also like to have a plan for how they’ll achieve their goals. Planners take their plans very seriously and like to follow them as closely as possible. They’re very careful when they make decisions and like to make sure that they’re being thorough and deliberate in their approach.
Which Is Best for You?
If you’re an improver, you tend to be much less likely to rely on the past and instead like to question the status quo and make new decisions. If you’re a planner, you tend to be much more likely to go with the flow and not rock the boat. If you’re a planner, you tend to make more decisions based on logic and fact rather than on instinct and gut feeling. You might also notice that you take a lot more time making decisions as well. You’re likely to go with the flow a little bit more and be a little more careful about your decisions.
