Inventories are only as good as

1) The questions they ask and

2) The answers you give

No inventory can ever hope to give you a complete picture of yourself. No inventory can accurately hope to capture all your passions, interests, values, beliefs, wants, desires, skills, abilities, limitations etc.

If that is true, why use them at all?

Good question. the answer is simple: It is a good as any place to start. But, and this is a big but, you should do more than one. Every inventory does different things. And these different things allow you to discover different parts of yourself. In a way, it is like being an archeologist of your own personality. Dig down deep, dust off the dirt and find what treasures are hidden there.

Okay enough talk. Get going and have fun.
