This week in the Being Unstoppable Podcast, I hone into why a personality test can help you in your business.
I recently did a profile test for business owners, and it has been amazing how it solidified the strengths and weaknesses I have. This has helped me understand why some business tasks drain me and why others energise me.
There are plenty of tests out on the market. However, I was impressed with the profile test by Wealth Dynamics as it is specifically for entrepreneurs or business owners. The results of the test were so accurate for both myself and my senior counsel who is our team leader at my law firm.
Why take the test? The Wealth Dynamics test costs $97.00 US, and it is worth every cent to help you understand the dynamics of your team and or who you need to hire. The results highlight how to make things easier for yourself in your business & investments by working smarter, not harder. You can do this by focusing on your strengths and hiring to your weaknesses. It helps to create a clear focus on where your highest talents lie. This means that you can hire people where your shortcomings lie to help you grow your business in a way that you cannot do alone.
I want to share my test results with you, and how I am utilising the information projected from the test. When we did this profile testing, it was incredible how accurate it was, and both Jenni and I understood precisely why we hold the roles we do at Collective Family Law Group. I don’t excel at every aspect of my business. That is why I have hired Jenni, as she is my opposite and enjoys the tasks that I am not good at. For me, to then see this laid out in front of us in the test results, I could see what cracks she filled in for me and what I filled in for her. We laughed as it was absolutely hilarious just how ACCURATE this test was!
What will result in you doing this test? It will help you to identify exactly what your strengths are, and therefore, you then understand why things flow so much easier for you in different areas. You will then see where your weaknesses lay, which helps you understand why something is so unenjoyable and hard for you, and that is okay! It also helps you avoid pitfalls and takes the tasks you aren’t best at to then go off when making your next hire to fill the gaps! Knowing your strengths and weaknesses are as a business owner can help you to create a team of incredible people. It also helps you to understand your employees better so that they can thrive in your business and make their best contribution.
What was the result? The results of the test for me showed that I am a creator! This is very accurate as I love to start new projects, create new things, and forever be inspired by up-and-coming ideas! Whereas Jenni is an accumulator which means that she loves detail and spreadsheets. Many businesses test their potential staff members during the interview process. This is a great idea so that you employ the people you need to make your team complete. Below is a list of all the profile types from Wealth Dynamics:
Give it a go! If you have a team, or if you are on your own - I would highly recommend doing the Wealth Dynamics test. The test is extensive, which is great because it goes into detail about where you are, what your strengths are, and where your weaknesses lie. If you are able to insightfully look at these results, you are then able to really progress your business by hiring someone to essentially fill the gaps!
Let me know how you go! I would love to know if you sit the test and what progress you will take into your business from it!
