Sometimes, it’s hard to face the facts about oneself. Here are a couple quotes from familiar faces to fortify you before you undertake this grueling flowchart of self discovery.

Benjamin Franklin: “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

Blaise Pascal: “One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.”

Nietzsche: “One’s own self is well hidden from one’s own self; of all mines of treasure, one’s own is the last to be dug up.”

Aristotle: “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”

Goethe: “Know thyself?’ If I knew myself, I’d run away.”

Take a deep breath. And then take this quiz.
