Have You Checked Your Personality Lately?

enneagram personality chart

Self-awareness is perhaps the best reason for taking personality quizzes; the next best might be to discover other's personalities and how/why people interact the way they do. Participants in this class will take fun quizzes such as color preference from Sherwin Williams, plus the CANOE test and a very short 10-question exercise. Each registrant will receive advance links to a version of the Myers-Briggs and enneagram personality tests to complete prior to the class at no extra charge.

Doug Stowell has been a national OLLI instructor since 2018. He opened his own firm in 2002 and continues conducting global consumer issues surveys and political polls.
