16 personalities said that I often take the unconventional path, and experiment with personal
creativity. I would like to think this is fairly accurate to who I am and how I go through life. An
example of this is what I currently do for a job. Rather than having a conventional job, working
fast food or for a retail company, I chose to find my own way of making money. I came up with
what I like to think was a creative idea and created my own business. Deciding to work for
myself, rather than someone else, I came up with my own ideas and made my own income.
Perhaps something that was a little bit of a risk, but ultimately did have a payoff. I believe this is
a clear example of an unconventional path and personal creativity all in one.

16 personalities also state that I am a dissatisfied person, saying that I can’t help but to imagine
how things could be better than they already are. Well, I think that this is supposed to be a
negative thing, I can’t help but to see some accuracy in this statement. I am constantly thinking
about what I could do better. Whether that be with my business, with my passions, or with my
everyday life. I am constantly wondering how I can keep growing. I have set many goals in my
business throughout, and I have reached them many times. Once I reach those goals, I usually will just create a new and
better one. Perhaps something I need to be working on is giving myself a moment to
be proud at where I’m at and allowing myself to feel satisfaction.
