We love personality tests. The idea that a few answers can define who you are feels comforting. It gives you a label, a box to belong to, a sense of certainty. “I’m an introvert.” “I’m a Type 3.” “I’m ENFJ.” These identities can feel like truth. But what if they’re not truth at all?

Most people think glass ceilings come from the outside: circumstances, systems, or other people’s opinions. But some of the most rigid glass ceilings are built inside your own mind, through the identity stories you carry.

What They Reveal About Your Self-Concept...
