In the spirit of New Year's Resolutions, maybe this can be a worthwhile tool for my fellow Subetians? :) Has anyone already done this or willing to give it a go?
It's a different approach to characterizing yourself than the alphabet soup of personality types. (looking at you, Myers-Briggs) I've been using this system for a few years now to improve my life.
Based on 4 natural elements. it's less about personality and more about movement and natural expression. Also, it's a tool that can be applied to not only personal growth, but bettering relationships, your wardrobe, career, living space, etc.
Here's a brief summary: Type 1: Nitrogen/Air; upward, light movement Type 2: Oxygen/Water; fluid, flowing movement Type 3: Hydrogen/Fire; active, reactive movement Type 4: Carbon/Earth; constant, still movement
The idea is that we are made up of all 4 elements, but one will be dominant, with a second close behind that supports your dominant energy. (I'm a Type 2/Secondary 1, for example)
There is a video based course that will teach you about the 4 types & help you determine which one you are. Link to the free profiling course No quizzes! No one is going to tell you who you are! :)
Finding out about this was syncronicity for me, as I was planning to do a wardrobe makeover when I realized that black was making me look old, but had no idea where to start. Now I'm using it to reorganize & "get my house together", so to speak. I have a lot to do, but it doesn't seem so overwhelming as long as I approach things accordingly. Less stress is good!
Disclosure: I am not affiliated with this company, but a customer. The Energy Type course is indeed free. The wardrobe makeover part does cost money, but they do have sales (usually $99 for the women's, $79 for the men's, & a one-time charge). I've found it worth it for the detail & resources it provides.
Not spending any money on stuff like this. In my honest opinion, this is crap and most likely a money grabber. If you wanted to change your wardrobe, you would have, without the program.
First off, I wasn't pushing anyone to buy the wardrobe course. The primary reason I even made this post was about the profiling, since some people here like personality tests. It's a differest type. I just mentioned the wardrobe course because if you do the Energy Type course, you will get offers on the wardrobe. It was just a heads up what to expect. Secondly, quite frankly, it saved me precious time and money not having to randomly try things, especially the time I would most likely spend returning things otherwise. My advice for you in return? Pay attention to when people compliment you on what you're wearing, not how you look. There's a difference. People are seeing your clothes, not YOU.
I honestly have to say i really disagree with this.. I dnt think its good for anyone to tell anyone that they should be superficial like this. If people are only seeing me for my attire rather than my personality, i dont want to know shallow people like that. Perhaps you meant something else with your message but it comes across very shallow as if you are trying to say that no one will care about another soul unless they are wearing nice things. That notion is silly and untrue, wheras there are lots of people like that, not everyone is like that and are willing to see people for who they are and not what they are wearing. Besides, id also never pay for a service to buy me clothes for me, I am me and to let someone else choose what i should wear would be the same as letting someone decide my personality. I never return clothes because i dont worry what others think of my clothes. If I am happy wearing it, thwn thats what truly matters. I am going to be me, everyone should just be who they are, if people dont like it, well there are plenty of others to be friends with who will like me or others for who they are too.
