When it comes to beauty, the first thing that comes to mind is makeup, products and physical appearances. However, physical beauty is purely an external impression that can sometimes be misleading or become jaded.
Inner beauty is a concept that represents who you are on the inside, including your character and morality — which is what really matters in terms of beauty. This type of beauty can look different from person to person depending on who you truly are and which type of personality you have.
Between horoscopes, the Myers-Briggs and other personality tests, there are so many different ways to understand your true personality and yourself. The Enneagram of Personality test is one of the assessments out there that many people find to be insightful and helpful to their journey to self-understanding.
While no personality test should determine how you live your life, it’s a great place to start in your quest to find self-love, self-understanding and your true definition of inner beauty.
