Episode Notes

In this episode, we've repurposed the full audio and transcript to bring you his revolutionary approach to understanding yourself.

Are you tired of personality tests like the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) that feel too simplistic? In this video, Eric Gee, creator of the Utopic 16 personality assessment and author of "The Power of Personality," introduces a new framework for understanding who you are. We explore the 16 animal personality types, from the pragmatic Smiths to the curious Chimpanzees, and how they offer a more nuanced view of human behavior.

Join me, "The Weird Canadian," as I go through the process myself and discover my own personality type live on the show. Learn why you might be a "Chimpanzee" type like me—driven by curiosity, experimentation, and a love for data.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why traditional personality tests like Myers-Briggs may not be accurate.
• The four core personality "packs": Gatherers, Hunters, Shamans, and Smiths.
• How to identify your core values, whether they are safety, excitement, self-knowledge, or information.
• What it means to be a "Chimpanzee" personality type and what jobs are best suited for it.
• How understanding personality types can improve your relationships, career, and self-awareness.
