Overview: The shape of your meditation journey

The overview below is personalized based on your responses to the test. If you are interested in a detailed report that covers three dimensions of your personality,  you can access your full report below. It offers further personalized recommendations based on your test responses and knowledge from peer-reviewed scientific research and my personal experience.

Your personality results indicate that your inner life is likely to be made of intense challenges. These struggles could manifest themselves in many ways. They may take the shape of concerns about the deeper meaning of life, periods of conflict with organized groups or with others about spiritual views, or moments of confusion and doubt. This might sound bad at first, but it reflects your deep care for inner life. On this path, much is at stake for you.

When moving through these challenges some things can help. It can be helpful to acknowledge and resolve tensions you previously ignored. You might have to leave a group that no longer reflects your values. You might have to reshape the way you live your life, so it is better aligned with evolving values. You might have to start relating to new parts of yourself and allow them to play a greater role in your inner life.

Going through these challenges can be tough, but rewards lie ahead. Research suggests that people with your personality profile benefit the most from commitment to spending time in deep meditation, notably on meditation retreats. You are likely to experience the deeper benefits, and this includes physiological benefits. Evidence shows that you might see improved cell health, such as rejuvenated chromosomes, as compared to other personality profiles.

Yours is a journey of growth through tension and challenges, renewal and rebirth.

Research shows that people with personality dimensions such as yours have a smooth sailing inner life. Your inner life is not deeply shaped by struggles and conflicts. It is a gradual growth. This does not mean that you do not encounter challenges, but they are rarely serious enough to be significant milestones in your spiritual life.

Do you approach this inner life journey as a solitary endeavour? Maybe you could try something different. Research tells us that seekers with your personality profile are likely to benefit from belonging to communities. You might consider yourself spiritual but not religious, and that is fine. These communities do not have to be rigid, and they could be physical or virtual, structured or fluid.

An ancient sage, the Buddha, had some things to say about this. He is believed to have said that finding admirable companions, kalyāṇa-mitta in the ancient pali Indian language, is the whole of the spiritual life. This is a bold statement, but you might find reward in testing out this idea for yourself or in committing more deeply in that direction.
