Or do you publish as you write?<\/p>\n<p>Do you delegate? Or is your need for the nitty-gritty too great?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to be the writer with the annual content calendar, or the leader who entrusts my big ideas to others. I&#8217;ve filled a thousand spreadsheets with good intentions, only to find them languishing and incomplete months later. I&#8217;ve dabbled with VAs, and had my control freak tendencies laid bare.<\/p>\n<p>It took a while, but I\u2019ve learned that I\u2019m wired to work the way <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">I<\/span>\u00a0work best. Other people\u2019s systems and successes may seem appealing, but unless they fit in with <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">my<\/span>\u00a0modus operandi I&#8217;m trying to fit square pegs in round holes.<\/p>\n<h2>Personality is what makes you, you.<\/h2>\n<p>In psychology, your personality is defined as &#8216;the combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual&#8217;s distinctive character\u2019. It describes who you are, and what makes you, you.<\/p>\n<p>It also shapes the way you work.<\/p>\n<p>Think of your personality as your unique operating system. It&#8217;s the software that manages your thoughts and behaviour. It directs your energy and attention, and defines which systems, processes, people and environments are most compatible with you.<\/p>\n<p>When your operating system fits your work and work environment, tasks are seamless. Sit me in a caf\u00e9 with a notebook and pen and ask me to generate fifty ideas, and I&#8217;m a machine. Sit me at a desk with a spreadsheet and ask me to fill in the boxes and you\u2019ll be tearing your hair out at my slowness and ineptitude.<\/p>\n<p>How well your personality matches your tasks, team and goals is often the missing link between overwhelming frustration and intense productivity. When we have insight into our unique operating system, we can create the interface we need with our world to make work easy and fun instead of being filled with stress, bugs and crashes.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Understanding your personality<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While there are many ways to describe personality, today&#8217;s experts believe there are five broad, basic dimensions known as the &#8216;Big 5&#8217; personality traits. Unlike models such as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myersbriggs.org\/my-mbti-personality-type\/mbti-basics\/home.htm?bhcp=1\">Myers-Briggs<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discprofile.com\/what-is-disc\/overview\/\">DISC<\/a><\/span>\u00a0that assign people to &#8216;types&#8217;, the Big 5 depicts personality as five spectra:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Openness to experience<\/li>\n<li>Conscientiousness<\/li>\n<li>Extraversion<\/li>\n<li>Agreeableness<\/li>\n<li>Neuroticism<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We all exist as a dot somewhere between the\u00a0two extremes of each dimension. And those billions of dots represent billions of wonderfully unique, complex people.<\/p>\n<p>You can get an insight into your personality through online questionnaires such as the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.truity.com\/view\/tests\/big-five-personality?a=148712\">Truity Big Five personality assessment<\/a><\/span>. They\u2019re quick, reliable, and give you a detailed report that includes your score and description for each dimension.<\/p>\n<p>You can also uncover your personality type with a little introspection and a guide like the one I\u2019ll share with you now.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Which of the following best describe you?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Openness to experience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">High:<\/span>\u00a0People at the &#8216;high&#8217; end of openness like venturing outside their comfort zone. If this is you then you love novel experiences, variety, and coming up with new ideas. You might be described by others as imaginative, insightful, curious, creative, or even intellectual.<\/p>\n<p>You love the creative side of blogging and business, but the routine and repetition of everyday tasks bores you to tears. Scheduling is tedious, and you don\u2019t have the patience for spreadsheets. You are an ideas person who struggles with following through.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Low:<\/span>\u00a0If you\u2019re at the &#8216;Low&#8217; end of the openness dimension you enjoy routine. You stick to what you know, and you do it well. You\u2019re practical, down to earth, and happy doing the same task time and time again. That\u2019s how you get so good at it.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Conscientiousness <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">High:<\/span>\u00a0Highly conscientious people are persistent, self-disciplined, reliable and persevering.<\/p>\n<p>If this is you then you\u2019re organised, you work within the rules, and you excel at delaying gratification.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the job done is never a problem for you, but you may turn yourself inside out getting it done. (Stress head alert!)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Low: <\/span>Are you a major procrastinator? A little bit flighty? Impetuous and impulsive? If you are, then you may be sitting at the other end of the conscientiousness scale. You\u2019re fun and spontaneous, but find it hard to actually get the job done. (That whooshing sound was probably another deadline flying by.)<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Extraversion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chances are you\u2019ll recognise this spectrum \u2013 extroversion at one end, introversion at the other.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">High<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">:<\/span>\u00a0If you\u2019re high on extroversion you\u2019re sociable, assertive, outgoing, talkative and socially confident. You\u2019re the team player who wants to collaborate with everyone. You love your colleagues to bits, but you will never be left alone.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Low:<\/span>\u00a0At the low end of the extroversion scale you\u2019ll find the introverts, although most of us sit somewhere in between. True introverts are quiet, introspective, reserved and thoughtful. They are people of few words but many thoughts. They\u2019re writers, not networkers, and group work sends shivers down their spine.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Agreeableness<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>How are your people skills?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">High:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u00a0<\/span>People high in agreeableness are trusting, patient, tactful, kind and considerate. If this is you then you\u2019re well-liked, respected, and sensitive to other people\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>You might blog to help and spread happiness. No cynics or ranters here.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Low:<\/span>\u00a0Not everyone likes to be liked. If you\u2019re low on the agreeableness scale you\u2019re happy on the edge of social acceptance. You can be rude, antagonistic, and maybe sarcastic. You\u2019ll make enemies as well as friends, but you won\u2019t care. You\u2019re much better at saying \u201cNo\u201d than your highly agreeable mates, and no-one will ever take advantage of you.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Neuroticism <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you Google it, you\u2019ll see it defined as \u2018mentally maladjusted\u2019 \u2013 pretty harsh.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">High:<\/span>\u00a0Those high on the neuroticism scale tend to be over-sensitive, nervous, anxious, self-critical and insecure. They\u2019re also easily angered and temperamental. If this is you, then you might find yourself embroiled in regular battles \u2013 online and offline.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s an interesting twist. Parts of your personality can interact with varying results. And if you\u2019re high on neuroticism <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">and<\/span>\u00a0conscientiousness, you may end up channeling your anxious energy for good. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com.au\/entry\/healthy-neuroticism_n_5035297\">Healthy neurotics<\/a><\/span>\u00a0take action to address their worries rather that ponder and plot. If this is you, then you may actually have better health habits and greater motivation to succeed in all areas of life than your less conscientious counterparts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Low: <\/span>Finally we have our emotionally-stable peeps. They\u2019re adventurous and unflappable. Unencumbered by worry or self-doubt, it\u2019s hard to rattle them. They\u2019ll try anything once, and no problem is too big. If this is you, then you\u2019re optimistic, self-confident, reliably even-tempered, and will cope with any crisis that\u2019s thrown.<\/p>\n<h2>3 Tips on Using Your Personality to Blog Better<\/h2>\n<p>Do you know where you sit on each of the Big Five dimensions? If you do, try these tips to work and blog better.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Take\u00a0note of the characteristics that make you great\u00a0at what you do<\/strong>. These are your strengths, and you should use them as often as you can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a note of the characteristics making work difficult right now<\/strong>. Are you a creative type struggling to narrow yourself into a niche? Or perhaps you\u2019re an extrovert weary from working alone.\u00a0What can you change about the way you work to find a better match between who you are and how you work?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stop fighting your operating system.<\/strong> You work the way you work because that\u2019s the way you\u2019re wired. It\u2019s who you are. Fighting your natural preferences is energy-sapping, and robs\u00a0the world of\u00a0your unique and fascinating contribution. Don\u2019t let that happen. Go forth and be the crazy, exceptional individual you are. It will make your work (and your life) a lot easier.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Are you in tune with your personality?
