what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and I am so excited right now you don't even
know as you saw in the thumbnail that is not me this is my first contributor
video and I want to do a bunch of these and this is from my buddy Tanya she is
going to be talking a little bit about the myers-briggs test which is to define
different personality types that people have and this is something that I've
always been very curious about and I've done it myself and I personally noticed
that I used to be one personality type and then it changed and tanya has some
great insight into that so I was like hey girl come on over make a video for
me and she's super well-versed on this stuff so I hope you enjoy this video if
you are new here I'm always doing videos about mental health mental illness and
addiction so be sure to click the little subscribe button but anyways here is
Tanya what's up guys my name is Tanya I'm coming to you live from Los Angeles
California and I'm so excited to be talking to you here today on the rewired
soul especially about one of my favorite topics of all time the psychology of
personality specifically the myers-briggs test and how it relates to
sobriety before we get into that relationship let me tell you about the
myers-briggs test so this is a super popular test and you've likely seen some
trappings of it either in your personal life or social media where I feel like
it's kind of trending right now you'll see people post things like I'm an INFP
or an ESTJ and you're like am i an ESPN is this the new horoscope what is this
part is this relate to my life so what the myers-briggs personality test is is
based on Carl Jung's theory of personality it was developed by two
women Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Briggs they wanted to take his theory
and make it accessible to the public so they created this test the test will ask
you several questions to help you figure out your preference on four key
categories so one of them is your favorite world are you extroverted are
you introverted another one will ask you for it how you take in information are
you in too deep or you sorry another one will ask you how you
make decisions are you thinking or are you feeling and the last one will ask
you about how you structure are you judging or perceiving so you'll answer
these questions and then you'll get a foreign lettered category and this is
your myers-briggs type and this will give you information about how you show
up best and what you do best in the world so a lot of people will use this
different therapist different coaches in the workplace you see this kind of all
over so what does this have to do with people in sobriety so for those of you
who know either you are in sobriety or you know someone in sobriety as soon as
you start to get sober a lot of amazing things start to happen to you
a lot of these results can be hard so maybe you have some health benefits like
you're losing weight or you to correct a heart or liver problem because your
conception happens your consumption habits have changed maybe you're saving
a lot of money because you're going out lessons not spending as much money and
then there are also softer changes that happen maybe you're more agreeable and
less aggressive maybe you are more inclined to think before you speak
maybe you're more willing to pitch in and help these kind of soft changes or
kind of fall under the category of what we call like a psychic change no it does
not mean that you get the ability to read minds in sobriety as far as we know
these ones are a little bit harder to measure so I think people really have
this question when they first get into early sobriety is like okay so if I stop
doing this what changes what gets better about my life because you know very
often the problem is not the substance it's everything that got us there so
what's really cool about this and I'll share with you a little bit about my
story is that it really it really does work so the myers-briggs test has always
been on my radar like I said huge psychology nerd for
years I tested consistently ENTJ so that's extroverted intuitive thinking
and judging those of you who are pretty know the ENTJ personality type can be a
little bit Suvir I feel like if ENTJ it's had a
tagline they would be like the kick ass take names kind of people um if you've
got a really hard problem you don't know how to solve it and you need someone to
come in take the reins and just get the job done
and you have a friend who's an ENTJ they're the one you want to call if you
have someone who need to come over and hold your hand and talk you through a
tough situation might not want to call the ENTJ friend they can kind of have
blinders on and they miss a lot of the emotional effects that they leave on
people so recently I had just taken this test again for something related to work
and I thought I was all wrapped up and as I taken the test
I got a different result now this is massive why is this so massive because
psychology also tells us that your personality will be stable after your
early 20s or so unless a major life event has occurred and that will often
change your base personality and what could have happened in the last couple
of years well I'm currently about 2 and a half you're sober going on 3 and this
is definitely absolutely changed my personality and it's amazing to see that
there's actually a quantifiable way to measure how it's been changed so I took
the test a couple of times and so I do still test ENTJ and but it's amazing
that I do I have a new result that also shows up and I think that that just
speaks volumes and really answers that question does this work do we kind of go
and go through a foundational change to who we are once we start changing our
behavior and the answer is yes so even more I'll tell you a little bit more
what the difference is so the it was an TJ and entp so it comes down to that
last letter J and P judging and perceiving and this discusses the
difference and how we approach opportunity so previously the judging
kind of person will be very focused on it one result they won't take more they
won't take less but they are getting the result that they came for the perceiving
person might still have a goal in mind but
they're always open to new opportunity on the way and this is definitely at how
I've changed I think prior to getting sober I could only handle like one way
of thinking one goal I couldn't handle multiple things coming at me and I've
definitely softened in my time in sobriety where now I can make goal in
mind but I'm so funny before I saw this result really take like so concrete in
this test I would call it I leave room for the magic of life now and maybe you
relate to that too I hope you do we're not everything has to be so severe
I've definitely chilled out a lot and I know what you're probably thinking which
is Tonya how could someone who doesn't do drugs or drink be more chill and all
I'm telling you is you should have seen me before so I hope you relate to this I
