Is the SAQ a good option for college students? Especially for one who is floundering and trying to find the right fit?

The SAQ will help with strategies for studying and the like, but the Kolbe A Index is more comprehensive and in depth about what your natural strengths are and how to capitalize on them.

I was wondering how valuable and worthwhile is this test for an older person? I asked ChatGPT: Can a person lose touch with their instincts as they age and develop their personality? What are your thoughts? ChatGPT answered: As individuals age and develop their personality, it is possible for them to become less reliant on their instincts or to have their instincts influenced by their personality traits and experiences. Here are a few factors that can contribute to this: Increased cognitive and emotional complexity: As individuals grow older and develop their personality, their cognitive and emotional abilities become more sophisticated. They may rely more on rational thinking, problem-solving skills, and learned behaviors rather than purely instinctual responses. Cultural and social influences: Society and culture play a significant role in shaping an individual's beliefs, values, and behaviors. Cultural norms and social expectations often guide and influence decision-making, overriding or suppressing certain instinctual responses. These external factors can lead to a person's instincts becoming less pronounced or less influential in their daily life. Learning and adaptation: Through life experiences and exposure to various environments, individuals acquire knowledge and learn new ways of interacting with the world. This learning process can lead to the development of alternative strategies and behaviors that override or modify instinctual responses. Over time, individuals may rely less on instinct and more on their acquired skills and knowledge to navigate different situations. Personal growth and self-awareness: As individuals develop their personality, they often become more self-aware and reflective. This self-awareness can lead to a greater understanding of their own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. With increased self-awareness, individuals may consciously choose to override or modify instinctual responses that they consider undesirable or unhelpful. While it is possible for individuals to become less reliant on their instincts as they age and develop their personality, it's important to note that instincts still play a role in human behavior, albeit to varying degrees. Some instinctual responses are deeply ingrained and may remain influential even as a person's personality develops. Additionally, there may be situations or circumstances where instinctual responses prevail over learned behaviors or rational thinking. The interplay between instincts and personality is complex and can vary from person to person.
