When I was young, my parents used to discipline me whenever I did something wrong. I saw it as cruel or unusual punishment. While my parents viewed discipline as teaching life lessons, I probably viewed it as cruel and unusual punishment. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and how perception fuels so much of how we live our lives, both in relation to others and ourselves. It's impossible to know how someone might misinterpret our words or actions unless we ask them directly. The tone of our voice may imply something totally contrary to what we intended. Maybe we are tired or distracted and were simply stating a fact, but the other person senses that we are angry or annoyed. My second ah-ha moment was during the personality test. It was so precise it was scary. Also, it really helped me understand my personality in a deep way. The realizations I came to after reading the detailed description of my personality type helped me get to know myself in a more intimate way. I had many "ah ha" moments reading it. I encourage my family and friends to get tested. I also believe that the personality test can help you find a romantic partner if you have one take the test
