Not Your Father’s Personality Test

Not your Father’s Personality TestThis week, Matt and I are joined by Registered Life Planner and former guest Andrea Miller, to delve into the fascinating world of Sparketypes. You’ve probably heard of the Myers-Briggs personality test developed in the 1920’s or the DISC assessment that followed two decades later, but the Sparketype tool is the first to come along in almost a century designed to help you identify “your unique, source code for work that makes you come alive, whether that gets deployed in your job or career, in your personal life, or on-the-side.” Andrea explains the essence of Sparketypes— a concept developed by Jonathan Fields, author of the 2021 Sparked: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work that Makes You Come Alive. Unlike other personality assessments, Sparketypes focus on understanding what truly energizes and fulfills you, steering away from the complex jargon that often accompanies psychological frameworks.Start by taking the free online quiz to discover your Sparketype. This 10 to 15-minute survey provides you with two out of ten Sparketypes, your primary and shadow. Each Sparketype represents a unique aspect of your core nature. Why am I talking about a personality assessment on my finance podcast? Anyone who has worked with me knows that my approach to helping people set and obtain financial goals is about more than just numbers. Learning that I am a Sparketype Advisor allowed me to articulate why I love my job as much as I do, and I want to share that discovery with others. Learn your Sparketype today and let’s use that insight to create your ideal life.
