The more you learn and understand who you are, how you are - the better a-person you can be to yourself and to others. Understanding what motivates you; touches you; or even triggers fears or anxieties within can only make you a better person. Understanding and knowing your strengths and weaknesses is power.
I really can't recall where I got the following information, so if someone is to be sourced / referenced for the following please accept my apologies - and thank yous at the same time, great work!
To note when reading the following description, you might seem to connect with some or all of the following styles, however you'll probably note (deep-down inside) which of the following is pretty dominate in your life. Also, the primary style that is dominating you at this moment isn't necessarily going to be the style that sticks with you forever... some styles change with age, time, with situations, people... whatever the case maybe, what's important is to understand the 'role' that you take on during these encounters so that you can be aware of what your projecting. If you notice the 'style-mode' you're in and don't want to be in that 'mode' - awareness is key! You can't identify what's happening unless you know it's happening - and that's when you can make choices!

Keirsey Temperament Quiz
Ever wonder why people don't think the same way you do?
And why wouldn't they... especially if we come from the same environment, same background, same everything...
Our minds are "programmed" differently and hence why we have such a creative world filled with beautiful things! ...otherwise, if we actually did think, be and do everything alike; the world would simply be a Sames Ville.
Let's take another quiz together, this time - let's explore the Keirsey Temperament Sorter experience:
"Established in 1996 by Dr. David M. Keirsey, Keirsey.com emerged onto the world wide web to provide access for individuals to take the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS-II), and gain a better understanding of themselves and others. Keirsey Temperament Theory™ was first written about in the international best seller, Please Understand Me®, (1978) and was followed by its successor, Please Understand Me II, (1998)."
