Taking time to think about other people is what doing good is all about. And it should make you happy, too. When you are in touch with an indicator known as your “Social Impact Personality Type,” you’ll naturally be drawn to the ways you find the most meaning and enjoyment in doing good. Here are the types:
Investors prefer to engage in social impact activities that are independent and do not require scheduling dedicated time or working directly with others in the pursuit of a charitable endeavor.
Connectors prefer to engage in social impact activities that are social in nature, involving the opportunity to get together with others.
Activators are passionate about participating in the causes they care most about, and they tend to focus on “changing the world” and impacting one or more social issues on a broad scale.
Are you an Activator, Investor, or Connector? You can’t go wrong! Philanthropy is about celebrating what it is to be human. What matters is that you feel good about the ways you’re making a difference in others’ lives and enriching your own life, too. You are human. That’s all it takes to make lives better--both your own and those of people in need.
