Do you know your personality?

Beyond our known personal identity,we manifest certain traits and characteristics that we barely recognize from within ourselves.It is important to know your personality and get in touch with the real identity because your personality defines your character.

Personality is the assemblage of qualities or characteristics which makes a person distinctive individual.Some benefits of knowing your personality are:

• Help you choose a career path that is satisfying.
• Accepting yourself and feeling good about who you are.
• Identify your natural strengths and weakness.
• Help you understand people and develop better relationships.

   I  hope by now you have identified the category you fall in,however you should know that no individual completely belongs in one category,rather most have a combination of two dominant personalities. Most musicians are sanguine-melancholic since music requires creativity and energetic individuals.To the aspiring entrepreneurs i hope you know understand your position and the traits to look for when looking for talent.
