Many of you have taken the PrinciplesYou assessment and found the results to be interesting and accurate. To build upon the results you received, I wanted to share some principles relevant to each archetype, which you'll find here for the Quiet Leader archetype. (1/4) 
If your archetype was the Quiet Leader, these principles might help you identify areas for growth as well as ways to maximize your strengths.

... and their equanimity in facing challenges - often leading as much through "taking in" as "putting out". They tend to be more reserved, reflective, both determined and humble, composed under pressure while also being inspiring and demanding leaders. (3/4)
You will have to get over your reluctance to assess what people are like if you want to surround yourself with people who have the qualities you need. That goes for yourself too. People almost always find it difficult to identify & accept their own mistakes and weaknesses. (1/4)
Sometimes it's because they're blind to them, but more often it's because their egos get in the way. Most likely your associates are equally reluctant to point out your mistakes, because they don't want to hurt you. You all need to get over this. (2/4)
More than anything else, what differentiates people who live up to their potential from those who don't is their willingness to look at themselves and others objectively and understand the root causes standing in their way. (3/4)
Some ways of thinking will serve you well for some purposes and serve you poorly for others. It is highly desirable to understand one’s own and others’ ways of thinking and their best applications. Some qualities are more suitable for some jobs. (1/4)
For example, you might not want to hire a highly introverted person as a salesman. That’s not to say an introvert can’t do that job; it’s just that a gregarious person is likely to be more satisfied in the role and do a better job. (2/4)
If you're not naturally good at one type of thinking, it doesn't mean you're precluded from paths that require it. It does, however, require that you either work with someone who has that required way of thinking (which works best) or... (3/4)
Because of the biases with which we are wired, our self-assessments (and our assessments of others) tend to be highly inaccurate. Psychometric assessments are much more reliable.
They are important in helping explore how people think during the hiring process and throughout employment.
Though psychometric assessments cannot fully replace speaking with people and looking at their backgrounds and histories, they are far more powerful than traditional interviewing and screening methods.
You’re going to want to know what you’re like, right? And, you’re going to want to know what the people around you are like, right? By knowing what you’re like, you’re going to know what to do with yourself to get what you want.
And by knowing what the people around you are like, you’ll know what to expect of them, and how to interact with them in the best possible way.
Knowing how you think and how others you interact with think is critical in getting what you want in both your personal life and in work.
Many of you have asked me to share my #PrinciplesYou personality type, which I’m happy to do. I’m a Shaper, with strong elements of Inventor and Adventurer. The assessment described me to a tee in much greater detail than I can convey in this post. (1/7)
Being a Shaper means loving to visualize great things and build them out and being willing to wrestle with the obstacles to achieve that visualization. Being an Inventor means that I love to come up with original ideas and designs that never existed before. (2/7)
Being an Adventurer means that I’m excited by going into the unknown and even the risky. Those are my great pulls in life.
The profile also highlights my big “watch out for's.” (3/7)

Values are deep-seated beliefs that motivate behaviors and determine people's compatibilities with each other. People will fight for their values, & they are likely to fight with people who don't share them. Abilities are ways of thinking and behaving. bit.ly/3vzYY13 1/5
Some people are great learners and fast processors; others possess the ability to see things at a higher level. Some focus more on the particulars; still others think creatively or logically or with supreme organization. (2/5)
Skills are learned tools, such as being able to speak a foreign language or write computer code. (3/5)
Remember that people are built very differently and that different ways of seeing and thinking make people suitable for different jobs. Some ways of thinking will serve you well for some purposes and serve you poorly for others. (1/4)

Because I’m keen to help people know what they’re like, know what the people around them are like, and help them get what they want, I created PrinciplesYou with 3 personality experts. principlesyou.com/?utm_source=Tw… (3/4)

If I had to choose between just the assessments or just traditional job interviews to get at what people are like, I would choose the assessments. Fortunately, we don’t have to make that choice. (3/5)
As many of you know, one of my goals in this stage of my life is to help others be successful. For the past few years, I’ve been working with expert psychologists Dr. @AdamMGrant, Dr. Brian Little, and Dr. John Golden, to design a personality assessment. (1/4)
