Journal Hack for ChatGPT

Overview

Have you ever felt like something’s missing from your self-reflection practice? Traditional journaling only takes you as far as what you already know about yourself. But what if you could make it smarter—like having a heart-to-heart with the best, most insightful version of yourself?

In this video, I'm going to show you how you can use a personality test result with ChatGPT to turn your self reflection into a powerful tool for growth.

Here’s a breakdown of what the video covers:

1. Why Traditional Self-Reflection Falls Short

   Self Reflection is limited to what you already know about yourself. This video explores how this can lead to surface-level insights and why understanding your personality traits is the key to going deeper.

2. A Crash Course in the Big Five Personality Traits

   Ever heard of OCEAN? It stands for the five traits that shape your personality: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.

   • Openness reflects your creativity and curiosity.

   • Conscientiousness shows how organized and goal-oriented you are.

   • Extraversion reveals your social energy.

   • Agreeableness measures how cooperative and empathetic you are.

   • Neuroticism ties into your emotional stability.

3. Unlocking AI’s Potential with Custom Instructions

   I’ll demonstrate how to set up ChatGPT with custom instructions tailored to your personality traits, goals, and preferences. By integrating your Big Five test results, you can transform AI into a personal self-reflection coach. With personality data, ChatGPT provided specific insights—like how moderate Conscientiousness supports goal-setting but high Openness can lead to overthinking.

4. Taking the Big 5 Test

   I’ll walk you through the process of taking the Big Five Personality Test (found at 123test.com) and how to integrate the results into ChatGPT. Tips include setting up custom instructions to include your personality traits and ensuring the AI’s responses align with your personal style and needs.
