In this episode of The Corporate Burnouts Podcast, Mandy and Mandy dive headfirst into one of their favorite topics: personality tests. From DISC to Myers-Briggs, the Predictive Index, the Four Color Personalities, and even the 5 Love Languages (in the workplace!), they explore how knowing yourself—and your teammates—can drastically improve communication, reduce workplace stress, and help prevent burnout.
You’ll hear them laugh through past results, reflect on their differences, and get vulnerable about the times they’ve had to work against their natural tendencies in corporate life—something that accelerated burnout faster than they expected.
Understanding your personality type helps you work with your strengths instead of against them. Tests like Myers-Briggs (MBTI), DISC, and the Predictive Index can clarify how you communicate, collaborate, and lead. Recognizing the difference between your adaptive and natural behavior under stress can reveal burnout triggers you didn't know you had. The Mandys also dig into how using personality insights should never be an excuse for bad behavior—it should inspire self-awareness and growth. Whether you're leading a team or simply trying to stay sane in a chaotic workplace, this episode will help you see how understanding your style—and others'—can make all the difference. They also talk about how leaders can build stronger, more cohesive workplaces by learning the appreciation languages of their team. And it turns out, personality assessments aren’t just for work—they can strengthen relationships and even help you parent better.
By the end of the episode, you’ll be ready to take a personality test yourself, and the Mandys encourage you to share your results. They suggest starting a conversation at work or home about how you prefer to communicate and be appreciated. Most importantly, they encourage you to tune in next week for Part 2, where workplace personality expert Amy Nunn will help interpret their DISC assessments and show how to apply these tools to your own team dynamics.
