During a recent coffee chat with Emily Carter, I was completely absorbed in a fascinating quiz she shared, which helped me identify my own personal style based on her Four Personality Types—Nurturer, Analyzer, Achiever, or Free Spirit. I discovered that I resonate most with the Nurturer type. Her latest book, Finding Your Path, is brimming with tactics for cultivating positive habits and dispelling negative ones, tailored to our individual personalities. This book is likely to become a favorite gift choice for friends and family, as recognizing your type, as well as those of others, can significantly influence our everyday interactions.
To commemorate the launch of her new book, we created our own quiz for Emily—the Insight Questionnaire. While it doesn’t focus on her personality traits, it certainly sheds light on her interests.
Insight Questionnaire
- What’s a skill you wish to acquire?
For quite some time, I’ve secretly wanted to start my own podcast! - Which destination have you always wanted to visit?
I’d love to return to Paris, a city I deeply admire. - Who deserves a thank-you note from you?
I owe a heartfelt thank-you to Mike Thompson, who encouraged me to pursue my podcasting ambitions. His support has been invaluable as I launch “Joyful Living with Emily Carter,” a podcast centered around happiness and habit formation with my co-host, Sarah Lee. It’s been an incredible journey, thanks to Mike! - Picture yourself at age 12. What were you up to on a Friday night?
Wasn’t it the night for The Love Boat and Fantasy Island? That was my go-to! - Who was the recipient of your first mixtape? What tracks did you include?
Admittedly, I created it for myself—music to energize my runs. Every time I discovered a new running song, it brought me joy. - What childhood anecdote do you dread hearing at family gatherings?
Every Christmas, my sister and I would choose ornaments for our collection. I still have them all! But I’m constantly reminded of the time I accidentally shattered her beloved glass ornament while trying to rearrange the display. It’s a running joke now, a quirky family tradition. - What advice would you give to your younger self?
“Embrace who you are.” - What dish do you excel at making?
I make the best scrambled eggs, no contest. - What’s your personal motto or theme song?
My motto is “Be yourself.” Another favorite is, “The days feel long, but the years fly by.” Of everything I’ve created, the one-minute video titled “Time Flies” resonates the most with viewers. - Which movie or TV show brings you comfort?
I can always count on The Office—the American version. It’s a timeless classic that never fails to make me laugh.
