But still Human Design was like a balm - it immediately and clearly illuminated everything that made me me, while also giving me permission to fully live as that authentic expression of myself in every area of my life. (While I did get the job, I lasted about 9 months.)īy the time I found Human Design eight years later, I was a little more settled in my sense of self.
I wanted somebody else to tell me who and how I was… or who I should be and exactly how that translated to the working world. Or rather, I didn’t trust that my full self was aligned with that company - or any company. I’ve always loved personality tests - though, looking back on it now, I think I loved taking that particular test because I didn’t trust myself. It was part of an interview process, included more than 100 questions, and provided me (and my potential employer) with a 30+ page report that - among other things - identified whether or not I was a good fit for the role and for their company.
Back in 2010, I took one of those professional assessment tests designed to highlight my strengths, my weaknesses, and what I could contribute to a team.
