Your Authentic score

Learn your Authentic score by clicking here

Authenticity is often described as being genuine, honest and undisputed, as opposed to being false or fake. In psychology, this is referred to the attempt to live your life in accordance with your inner self, your absolute core, rather than external pressures or conditioning.

Authentic can also be termed as the value of being real and believable, not resorting to manipulation or misrepresentation. This implies that actions and words are congruent with the beliefs and values of the person, and people are who they claim to be, or how they appear to be.

People who are authentic, generally do not act how they believe they should act or say what they should say, but rather do what they believe in and say what they want to, bringing to the fore their skills, nature, experience, and wisdom.

You are not averse to using an alternate persona to meet your ends, keeping goal top of mind rather than authenticity. While you may be attuned to your inner core and true self, you conform to the social expectations and act as you believe is expected.

Really try to understand who you are and what motivates you, define your principles and your values and adhere to them in all respects. Don’t hide who you are because you feel it will be unpopular or disliked. Keep an open mind when others are also displaying their authentic selves, embrace the dissimilar characteristics, try to learn from them or open up to new perspectives.
