I believe it would be quite helpful for people in their early 20's to know his or her individual personality type.
Speaking for myself, if I had known mine, some of the decisions I made back in my early to mid 20's I probably would not have made. I guess it's all about the learning from experience approach.
I've taken the Myer's - Brigg's personality assessment a few times and each time I've been categorized as an "ESTJ" personality type or similar. It's comforting to know that all the professional positions I have held over the years lend well to this personality type. However, these past 15 or so years, I did not fully comprehend the worth of knowing my type and taking advantage of it.
If I had fully appreciated knowing what being an ESTJ meant, I would have focused on the strengths of this "type" and utilized this knowledge to benefit my profession and my personal relationships better. I would have pursued my interest in psychology much sooner then I did. I would have paid better attention to what personality types I was compatible with.
But guess what? I'm practicing that I can't dwell on what could have been and to focus instead on what I can do for my future. I am fully aware of what my personality is now and I will take one day at a time to pursue a more fulfilling lifestyle. I challenge you to do the same.
