What’s a Lucidata Anicon and Why?

Human personality is complicated stuff. Thanks to years of research, today we know every human possesses five overarching personality traits (aka the Big 5) and that each of those traits in turn includes a handful of sub-traits. Add all that up and you’ve got a lot of complexity.

But good luck if you’re one of those people who actually wants that level of scientifically-validated insight into your own personality. Because A) you’ve got to pay through the nose for it and B) possess an advanced degree in quantum physics to understand it (we’re kidding, but only a little).

Or, you could continue to rely on the silliness of the Myers-Briggs types of tests, which have absolutely no scientific validity. (Click here to learn why you can chuck that INTJ or ESTP label into the trash.)

That’s what Lucidata is all about: packaging proven, useful research into approachable, easily understandable results that you can put to work in your own life. That’s some green light thinking, right?

But because personality IS complicated stuff, we thought it might make things easier to remember – and fun – if we combined your two most important traits into an animal icon (aka an Anicon). Each animal was carefully chosen because it possesses behavioral traits similar to your own. We even had an international artist design all 24 of our Anicons to ensure they’re as memorable as the personalities they depict.

But note that you can’t receive your Anicon until you’ve taken the Top Personality Trait assessment (click here to take it or use the link at the end of this post).
