AN ONLINE PERSONALITY CHALLENGE
Recently, as I was mindlessly scrolling Facebook videos, I came across one from Digital Laura where she shared a ChatGPT prompt that will give you some insights into yourself that you may or may not be aware of. Because I'm looking at ways to be more mindful this year, and because I'm still on the fence about all this AI stuff, I thought I'd toss myself into the experiment and see what the outcome was.
Laura gives us a prompt to type into whatever version of ChatGPT you use. Here's the prompt:
Ask me ten questions, one at a time, that will reveal more about me than I myself have ever known, and don't tell me why you're asking.
THE PROCESS AND THE RESPONSE
I typed in the prompt, and ten simple questions came my way (one at a time) which I answered with very brief, simple replies - I'm not about to divulge anything too deep to a robot! The questions in total probably took me two minutes to answer and then it gave me a little overview:
You seem deeply reflective and attuned to both memory and future planning, valuing accomplishment and inner assurance over fleeting recognition. Your emotional landscape is shaped by relationships and meaning, not just by trust or logic alone, and you navigate life through thoughtfulness rather than impulse. You notice patterns in your life, prioritize health and happiness, and carry an internal guide urging you toward growth without judgment.
Summarized in a single sentence:
You are a thoughtful, meaning-driven strategist with a structured mind, quietly seeking both mastery over life and the wisdom to savor its fleeting joys.
Well.....I must say that it was pretty spot on with its conclusions - nothing I wasn't aware of, but still pretty observant from ten weird little questions. Then it asked me if I wanted to know my blindspot? Well.....of course I did! Challenge accepted!
THE BLINDSPOT
Here’s ChatGPT's opinion on the subtle blind spot that emerges from my answers:
While you value logic, reflection, and accomplishment, and your inner guide urges growth, there’s a hidden tendency to intellectualize or structure your own life so much that you unintentionally overlook the emotional and sensory richness of the present moment.
Well....yes, I can definitely agree with that observation and the need to be more willing to go with the flow wherever I can, rather than being too rigid. Then it finished with:
Your mind is brilliant at navigating life, but your lived experience—the spontaneous, unmeasured joy of being—is slightly underattended. Even your inner voice is focused on improvement, not delight.
This isn’t a flaw—it’s a hidden tension that, if consciously embraced, could help with enjoying the richness of your own life without always trying to analyze, plan, or perfect it.
THE CONCLUSION
I noticed straight away that I needed to focus more on "delight" which was last year's Word of the Year for me - so it was a reminder as to why I chose that word and to keep including delight in my daily life.
There was more I could have delved into - practices to help me be more mindful of the present moment, and even an activation plan. I'm not invested in online self-analysis enough to want to go down the rabbit hole any futher, but it was a fun exercise that ties in well with me delving into how to live life more mindfully this year.
Recognizing that it's okay to enjoy life as it comes, "without trying to analyze, plan, or perfect it", sounds like a good piece of advice to take onboard for 2026, because these really are the good days.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Are you game to try the ChatGPT challenge? Or are you like my husband - wary of the algorithms and unwilling to give it much credence?
