“What kind of person am I?”
It’s an age-old question—familiar to everyone, yet never easy to answer.
We turn to personality tests, ask our friends for feedback, keep journals, or try to observe ourselves more consciously.
These days, some people ask this question to artificial intelligence.
I’m one of them.
When writing personal statements (like résumés or job application essays), or simply trying to make sense of my thoughts,
I often ask ChatGPT to help me organize what I’ve said and done.
Through those conversations, GPT identifies the patterns in how I speak, the choices I make, the words I repeat—
and sometimes, it offers an unexpectedly accurate mirror of who I might be.
💬 Why ask an AI about me?
This isn’t some deep psychological analysis, nor do you need to “believe” in artificial intelligence.
It’s more like handing over your scattered notes and asking for a summary.
ChatGPT doesn’t understand me like a human would.
But it’s surprisingly good at spotting recurring themes, behavioral trends, and consistent perspectives
within the words I’ve shared.
Sometimes it sounds like:
“Seems like you think this way.”
“Maybe this is something you value.”
In that sense, it becomes less of a robot, and more like a linguistic mirror—quietly reflecting your patterns back to you.
🧭 How should I ask questions?
GPT handles vague or one-word questions poorly.
But if you give it context + a question, it starts to shine.
Here are some prompts that worked for me:
- “I had this experience. What strength or trait does it reveal about me?”
- “I keep making this kind of decision. What might that say about my personality?”
- “I tend to express myself like this. Where do you think that’s coming from?”
After a few back-and-forths,
ChatGPT starts to suggest:
“You might be someone who moves this way, and cares about that kind of thing.”
It’s never definitive—but it’s often surprisingly close.
⏳ How much data is enough?
In my case, it didn’t take hundreds of conversations.
A handful of personal stories, a few questions about how I act or think, and
suddenly GPT had enough to “get a feel” for me.
It’s not like a personality test with neat categories.
But sometimes, the response feels like something a close friend might say:
“You kind of seem like this kind of person, right?”
🪺 GPT’s one-line summary of me:
🐦 “A gray-feathered pigeon who listens carefully and patiently gathers stories.”
Gray is quiet and balanced.
The pigeon isn’t flashy—it simply adapts, remembers familiar faces, and always finds its way,
even in crowded places.
That felt weirdly accurate.
🎁 Final thoughts
GPT isn’t perfect.
But when it listens to your words and reflects them back in a structured way,
it becomes an unexpected companion in understanding yourself.
You don’t need a big question to begin.
Try:
“Why do I keep doing this lately?”
“What do you notice in how I describe things?”
And once you speak,
GPT listens.
Ask clearly, and it might just answer clearly, too.
Coo coo coo coo coo. (That’s a gray pigeon cooing softly. 🐦)
📝 P.S.
This post isn’t perfect.
It’s more like a whisper than a declaration—so feel free to just skim through it.
Maybe it’ll leave a faint echo you’ll come back to later.
