Astrology vs Personality Tests
Many people believe that astrology is more helpful than a personality test to understand yourself. Most tests focus on behavior. Astrology is about motivation. In other words, standard tests focus on symptoms, not the root cause.
I don’t want to take anything away from personality tests. They have their purpose. But knowing “why” someone does something is heaps more informative and useful, than “what” they do. You can get much deeper insights about someone when you know their “why.”
Typical personality test questions like, “Is it important for you to take care of your friends?” or “Do you prefer to act immediately, rather than think of other options?” are interesting. But with astrology, you’ll know why you’re concerned with your best friend’s health or why you’re quick on your feet. This knowledge is much more insightful if you ask me.
At the end of the day, both personality tests and astrology have similar goals of helping you understand yourself better. They share many parallels, but no real direct translation from one to the other. The good news is that using both methods can refine how you understand yourself.
