Basically, the 'personality test' questionnaire I like to ask myself is: 1) What scale am I focusing on (work, interpersonal relationship, spiritual practice, etc) 2) Is my intention for 'surviving' or 'thriving' in that arena 3) Does this involve continuity or discontinuity from the present moment? 4) Does this involve directed or not-directed (yang or yin in your example) 5) What do I do with this knowledge?
Its a fun thing to do with a team that we are working on- and often will see different opinions based on different scales or wishes re: surviving/thriving or whether directed/non-directed action is best
