If youre like most people, youve probably taken a personality test.

No matter your results, you probably feel like youve been reduced to a stereotypeand worry that self-improvement is impossible. For those who feel theyve been put in a box, Dr. Benjamin Hardy has good news. Recent and authoritative research shows that your personalitya persons consistent attitudes and behaviorsis flexible, not fixed. Moreover, there is no such thing as a personality type or authentic you to find or discover. Instead, personality can and should be consciously chosen, based on the person you intend to be and goals you aspire to achieve. You can design your identity, behavior, and environment to serve the future you want and stop being defined by past traumas or your current circumstances.
