I’m an ISFP, according to a test I took this morning. Or going by the one I took years ago, an INFP who is “turbulent” and may get a different result each time.

I don't know about you, but I've heard a lot of people say that they want to quit some particularly addictive aspect of modern technology in 2018. Maybe you want to delete Candy Crush from your phone once and for all. Maybe you only want to check Twitter once a day.

The Hogwarts Sorting Hat, a core part of the Harry Potter mythos, has become one of Western culture's best-known psychological tests, bigger than Myers-Briggs or whether you're a Carrie. It's inspired real-world personality quizzes at BuzzFeed, Pottermore, the Guardian and many other sites. Recently TIME Magazine developed a sophisticated Sorting Hat quiz based on psychological measures such as the Big Five personality traits.

"Being yourself" and living authentically is one of those goals that we champion, but can rarely explain why. We assume that it's good to always be consistent with "who you are", but there are some times where paying attention to those around you is much more important.

Ellen DeGeneres is a loveable and wonderful human being. You can't help but smile when you watch her. Is it her impeccable hair? Her smile? Her charisma? Those help, but it's simpler than that: She tells funny, endearing jokes that make people instantly like her. Let's break down what they are.

Confidence is a vitally important personality trait, but you might worry that acting more confident could come off as arrogant. Fortunately, there are distinct indicators that distinguish the former from the latter.

Assembling a solid team at the beginning phases of your startup can determine the success of your business. It might be worth recruiting an extroverted person to join your crew. Here's why.

We all work a little differently depending on our personality, and that goes for creative work, too. Knowing your habits, behaviours and weaknesses can help you optimise your creativity.

Would you like to be more creative? Of course! While creativity is something you can cultivate, it can also bring along traits that may be viewed as negative. That's not as problematic as you'd think, though.
