Thirty-Three Years of Personality Counseling Taught Me This!

Thirty-Three Years of Personality Counseling Taught Me This!TAKEAWAY: The more "alike" you are to the person you are dating or trying to love the better that relationship likely will be.

The above "takeaway" statement is THE huge truth I learned as a result of 33 plus years of career and personality coaching/counseling.

I retired in August of 2018 after 33 years of career and personality counseling at a major mid-western 4-year university. I have burned with a desire to let everyone know what I discovered.

If you desire a relationship with the strongest chance of success than base it on SAMENESS not OPPOSITES.

What in life can you be sure of? Death, taxes, yes for sure. In addition, you can be sure that your "Personality Type" is your asset of assets because it is an instinctive imprint, a preference within you.

You can take the knowledge of your type and use it at THE BEGINNING OF RELATIONSHIPS to make wiser decisions.

I used to think of it as a basketball scouting report that a coach might use. If I have a real good idea of what the opponent is going to do and is capable of, and if I know how they go about doing what they do, I can prepare with a greater assurance of what might happen.

The knowledge of your type and the type of your lover, let's say, is the scouting report. Unlike a basketball team, your "type" will not change from year to year. There will be "fluctuations" but since type is an "instinctive" preference imprinting, you can rely upon.

So date people who are more similar to your type than are opposite.
