Dr. Jordan Peterson Exposes Our Marriage Compatibility & Personality Flaws
On this episode of New World Old Soul, Melissa and Jeremy dissect their compatibility as a married couple based on the findings on Dr. Jordan Peterson's personality test criteria.
The couple goes into detail about their questionnaire results which assigns a score in a number of categories including: Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Compassion, Politeness, Industriousness, Orderliness, Extraversion, Enthusiasm, Assertiveness, Neuroticism, Withdrawal, Volatility, Openness, Intellect, and aesthetics. Melissa and Jeremy then review the struggles/impact it has on them as spouses in a very humorous, honest and transparent conversation.

Hi guys. JP’s test is very good. However, the one thing that none of these types of tests can show is that if God has put you together nothing else really makes much difference. I pray that you will continue to have a continuing happy marriage and that your example and sharing will encourage many others.
Biggest Lesson I have learned in 68 yrs...I can't blame my ethnicity...family history...genetics...or life experiences for my personality because I have the power to change me...
Good for a cop to be less agreeable i think. You two are perfect together
I live by three simple rules. 1. When someone shows me who they are, I believe them. 2. Trust is earned. 3. Honesty above feelings ie don't ever lie to me.

Agree. Well said.
I just started listening to this week's topic, and again I say... I absolutely love this podcast! It seems the core of New World Old Soul is much like the words inscribed over the entrance to the temple of Apollo at Delphi. KNOW THYSELF! The category missing on the test is AUTHENTIC LIKABILITY. Which in my opinion, you both score 100 %! The grin on Jeremy's face when he admitted his Agreeableness score was priceless. I have seen him do that same grin many times before. I love seeing him on his tractor. He so reminds me of Oliver from Green Acres when Oliver is on his tractor in the opening of Green Acres. I can almost hear Jeremy singing "Land spreading out so far and wide, keep Manhattan, just give me that country side!" The authentic laugh Melissa (aka Little Marshmallow) had when she admitted her Agreeableness score was also priceless! It made me actually laugh out loud which healed a part of me once again. I love the two of you, your family, and this ever so enjoyable podcast! Thank you!

I totally agree with everything you said. Said perfectly.
I also tested very low for compassion, but high in politeness. Perfect traits for a teacher. Students do not easily manipulate me, but I will not bully, shout or make them feel any less for doing something wrong. I saw it as a win!🤔

Sometimes when you go thru extreme traumas, you can loose compassion and trust for humankind. With faith , you can be a survivor and live a productive life. Blessings on your own positive journeys.
Who am I to argue with the Dr. Peterson? But what I do say is that your love; your personality; your YOU; has been accepted and adored by each other for so long, and it seems to be working for you. Keep doing YOU! You both are wonderful!
🇨🇦👋 I always told my husband that I loved him because of his goodness AND loved his faults. I loved the whole person.
I used to be very much like Melissa but once I became a lone parent of 4 boys, I found myself taking on more of Jeremy's characteristics. Having someone around who can catch you and stand by you allows for a certain naivete to exist in Melissa, when you don't anymore though, you have to wise up fast. I think you're perfectly matched for that reason, which is wonderful to see. Melissa can choose to see what she wants to see and Jeremy gets to have a more balanced view on people he wouldn't have time for normally.❤

I've had the same experience, except I have two special needs girls. It's tough, and it's very diffi
We all are a work in process! God’s still working on me.
I took it last year and I didn’t really have any surprises. I know myself pretty well but I wish I could compare it to what I would have scored when I was in my 20’s. I feel like I was a completely different person back then.
Self Development includes peeling away the layers of Life That helps form our personality over the years and the ability and willingness to change ❤
This does make you a great couple. Please, Melissa, don't beat up on yourself. Everyone as you said has personally disorder because we should appreciated Our Heavenly Father's mercy and grace. Improvement is something we needs to work on.😊💛 Jeremy is a very compassionate when needed.😊💛👍🏽
"Let Go, & Let God" refers to letting go of our will and letting God's will prevail. (Proverbs 16:9) It's like we do all we can like it depends 100% on us, but we pray and have faith like it 100% depends on him. Kind of like what you guys did leaving Washington and moving to Idaho. I've enjoyed watching you all these years for this reason. You have been a good example of Letting Go & Letting God direct your life. He knows the way! :)
Just took the test: 35 Agree 37 Extrovert 94 Conscientious 18 openness 00 Neurotism - Yep, I am a Christian accountant
A lot of doormats are just doormats to an extreme point. I had a Viet Nam war combat veteran, great data programmer, former street bum from his PTSD. Great programmer, bad volatile temper and rage to all. He was about 6 foot 1 inch, 240 pounds, maybe 25 pounds fat. He failed to complete a project in the allotted time frame and tried to blame me in a meeting in my office. I told hin that "No, I did not change any parameters or data points or outputs, and I will not take the blame for you not making the time frame." He started his rage cycle of screaming and getting very verbally aggressive. I told him no, I am writing you up for timliness. He then went further into his rage cycle and used his fore arm to swipe everything off my side desk (no computer) onto the floor. I told him, "OK, let's go see the boss." He came around my desk, and violently pushed me into my chair. I sighed started to stand again and he pushed me into my chair. Then one more time, three total. On the fourth attempt to rise, I came up quickly and pushed him through both layers of sheetrock and into the next room. I tilted my head at him and told him to never touch me again when he is angry. I helped him out of the wall and told him that we needed to go see the boss. Because rage monsters never see you angry, they assume you will take physical abuse. I wrestled collegiate heavyweight, and although it is not obvious, I can summon terrible rage when I need to use it. - The retired redneck accountant and King's kid
Compassion with a Purpose is what I call it..
I am big into personal development so this podcast is right up my alley as a Personal Development Guide... (not a coach but a guide)
Melissa, you are a welcome mat. People trust you with their stories because your body language says you are interested.
I just love how you put yourselves out there. You are both just so real.🥰
I LOVE THIS PODCAST 😍 HOW YOU GUYS BALANCE EACHOTHER OUT PERFECT REMINDS ME OF THE CLOSET BUILD... MELISSA AND HER HIGH ORDERLY SCORE PERSONALITY AND THE RACK OF HER CLOTHES BEING ROLLED OUT FAIL😭😂 ( JEREMY) " OK BABE, ITS NOT GONNA GET FIXED, ITS TIME TO MOVE ON...' LOL FOREVER MOMENT😊🛡️🛡️ YOU GUYS ARE PERFECT 😍😍💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Humility is more valuable than intellect. you both overflow in humility, that fine quality.
On another note> I would like to see interviews with people who are your supporters here & have unusual life stories. As we would mot know the twist & turns of that story. 😉.
After 17 years of marrage we wanted to have our marriage blessed by our Catholic Church. To do so we had to take a compatible test. We only scored a 50. Which that score we should not have been married. It has not always been easy but we just celebrated our 63 anniversary. I believe it takes commitment to make this a forever path. There are many times we both wanted to throw in the towel, but we held on . Life is not easy but hold on working together things will get better.

So funny! I was always a "Monica" on those friends tests.
I would never want someone that was totally compatible with me. What a boring life that would be!! Each of us would be able to know what the other would like, not like, want to do, where to go, etc. I think you two are the perfect couple because you COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER WITH YOUR PERSONALITIES!! No relationship is perfect. Every relationship requires work, sacrifice, patience, understanding, and more. I think Melissa and Jeremy balance each other and they have their priorities straight. By the way, is Jeremy ok? I have noticed he has lost some weight. You take good care of yourself young man! I am hoping to be around to see you two become grandparents!
Enjoyed this session. By the way your "row the boat" comment matches up to the Orthodox theology of the Fathers of the faith. Jeremy you are so cool. So glad men like you are training a new generation. God grant you and Melissa many year. Adding you both to Liturgy prayers for month of June.
Omg Jeremy you and I are so much alike. My husband and I have only one child and I use to worry so much about her when she started driving and was leaving the house for anything. I would search for the reasons why it was so strong and my conclusion was that I lost a younger sibling in a car accident and had such a fear of it happening to her. Hardest part was learning to take a deep breath and reminding myself that “I did a good job in who she is” and leaving it in Gods hands. Your area great man and you and Melissa have a great marriage and remember opposites attract.
Your personality Jeremy made you a good fit for police officer.
I took this test twice, 2 and half years ago in 2022, and today. In some places its like I've had a complete personality transplant lol alot of the change has come from making what i would consider positive changes from a massive dose of reality about the counter effects of obssessive kindness and focusing outside of myself and my family. Since reigning that in, my outlook on life is markedly more positive. I now spend my time in things that are fulfilling and make me happy with benefits for the community, rather than focusing on needs external to my family, burning myself out and being miserable because I felt like i was failing on all fronts. I suffer less from negative emotion, which means I'm so much more driven in things that produce a positive outcome. I was also ashamed to admit my own ambition because I believed humility and compassion was more important. But Ive realised with all the craziness of the last 2 years that humility and compassion without a productive outcome really isn't kindness to anyone.
Almighty God had his will in the marriage of best friends husband & wife , God Bless you both here to many more years of a beautiful marriage ,Many Prayers Hugs enjoy watching all you doing as a family
Jeremy, FYI >My Kids in film & you have a great voice & could get paid well in Radio & voice commercials. LOL On another subject, I was a nurse for many yrs & before thst I was a shy person who was pushed into dealing with public. Becoming a nurse it fit me well. But nurses can be complacent in private life. But in dealing with abused babies & kids > I became like a lion in public speaking & educating people on these issues. I think being s Christian we must pray for God to balance us all to His Liking & using our gifts likewise. Love Jordan Peterson love watching his whole journey. Will be taking the test. 😉 ❤🎉
Great podcast, I am ver much like you Mellisa, my husband has passed but he was very much like Jeremy. And we got to 55 years married and 57 together. We has a great life together.
If only I would have known you while you were living in BG. I live in Amboy and you contacted my daughter about rabbits before. Such a small world at the end of the day. My husband & I are introverts also. Im very much like Jeremy, everyone’s suspect until proven otherwise.😂 Although I have that thing like Melissa that I can spark up conversation with strangers out of the blue in a public setting. You two are great fun & a perfect match. God bless!

I once worked for a man, who started a company and became a great leader, had a wonderful marriage, and still does some 60 yrs later, had wonderful children, and he became a billionaire. Here is what he always said, and I agree one hundred percent; there was never a test that measures the heart of a man or woman. As long as you put God in your marriage, He will see you through.
This was a fun episode!
Good job, Jason!!!😊🎉❤
Hey, y'all I wanted to comment on the test. I decided to take it after watching y'all. I had a couple comments. Now I am 65 and retired therefore, many of my answers are different than what they would have been when I was younger. In my 30s, as a single parent and working full time, I was obsessive, I was focused on time, and the house had to be clean. NOW, many of those answers are different. I think that is something to consider, that these answers change over time. In addition, I was always very hard on myself, and through meditation, just years of experience, I no longer am. So Jeremy, this absolutely could be something that shifts for you as years go by. In addition, my biggest life lesson is to be gentle with yourself!! It is a learned behavior.
James 2:17 NIV ”In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” I struggle with this because of being an introvert. Someday I need to do this test.
GOOD JOB!
I thoroughly enjoyed this - makes us all self analyze right along with you both - I also think you both complement each other incredibly well! xxxx!!
Great pod cast I feel like I know you both better ! Love it ❤ 😊
This was fun! You two are unique 💙
My recall from classes in personality measurement is to remember- this is taking measurement in A SNAPSHOT IN TIME, just like a photograph. Do we always look the same, or, does a photo show an image of us at that moment? Meaning that (referring back to the test) you probably could answer a variety of questions in the survey differently if taken days even hours later. Tests tend to reveal TENDENCIES. I remember reading the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual- the guide that describes mental health conditions for clinical practitioners) and it seemed like I could have that majority of the conditions presented. I was actually scared at first, but then realized that we really are quite complicated and (for the most part) more similar to each other than remarkably different. You two are diverse and very complimentary to each other. Meaning that intellectually and not exclusively socially.
I enjoy you both so much. Thank you
Great interview! Could see myself and husband the things described! Have a great week!❤
This was a wonderful podcast; definitely one of my favorites! 😊
love the bumber music....never thought I would hear it on your pod/video!!!
I'm a woman and very similar to Jeremy. I don't hate my personality traits in me or anyone else. I like honest people who are to the point.
Bravo to the two of you! It takes a lot of courage to reveal the depths of who you are on a format like this. But it's been so helpful to me! I'm excited to take this test with my husband! Btw, I sooooo miss CDA! We're in southern Idaho now, but my heart never left the north.
Wow this was great and so revealing. We have been married 53 years, he is very high in volatility and I am very high in assertiveness and we are both low in agreeableness. But like another viewer said, God put us together for this journey.
As usual, I got a few chuckles and enjoyed the podcast.
“Let go and let God.” To me, that means not to worry about something that you can't control.
Hey guys - I loved this ❤❤❤. God bless you is my prayer!! ♥️ From Tennessee
the minister who married us after a 250 question test told us we were the first people he ever told NOT TO MARRY!!! 49 YEARS AGO....AH BUT he got divorced a year later! we're still hoing strong balancing each other just fine thanks! 💙💜💚💛
Hey Mellissa you may like this frame of thought when it comes to either trusting in God or acting on it... I believe we should pray about our struggles/worries and ask God to give us strength and guidance and peace. Then leave it in his hands. Eventually after giving anything to God we will feel inspiration and it is our job to then act on that inspiration. If your boat is sinking and you pray to God for help, suddenly get the inso to paddle, PADDLE!!!

My husband and I have been together for 27yrs. And our church had us take a compatibility test, and it was the best thing ever. It allows you to discuss things that you may not have discussed before. We took this test with a married couple from the church who guided the session. They said we were one of the highest scores they've seen. 98%.
I missed commenting on the last episode, but enjoyed that one and this one very much...as always. Happy Birthday Melissa and Kaimani!

I totally understand the difference in agreeableness....My husband and I are like Y'all and honestly I often get tired of giving into him...As a senior who has been through 3 marriages I agree its a problem...its a go around because he will never back down...always has to be right...
Enjoyed your sharing. My husband and I are just the opposite, I'm the female version of Jeremy (totally understand the trust comments from Jeremy) and my husband the male version of Melissa! Thanks again for sharing!
Jeremy you sound so much like my husband!! This was fun and informative.
😂 I loved this podcast! I see so much of myself in Jeremy's answers and it has me evaluating my experiences. I also think that birth order and life experiences have a place in our makeup. There were four siblings in our family and I was the oldest child and only girl. We were all born within three years and eight months. I had to develop strength and resilience at an early age to cope. 😉 at least that's my theory...and I'm sticking to it.
Regarding what other people say about you; what they say about you says more about them than you. Also, Dr. Wayne Dyer quoted someone who said, "What you think of me is none of my business." and that relates to self-esteem not being based upon other people's opinions. When considering the results from any of that sort of self-analysis, it is good to realize the pieces of the puzzle that it presents. No one piece of the puzzle determines the picture completely yet adds to the whole. Therefore, the pieces should be evaluated as part of the whole, and how they each contribute to the complete picture rather than focusing on individual pieces other than to find how they fit into the whole.
About the let go and let God thing. I was told that yes, God will take care of the sparrow but the sparrow has to go get the twigs for its nest and the seeds to eat. That sparrow needs to "row the boat". You two are so funny. I love watching you and it gives me an escape from my reality. I still think you need to make a coffee table book with your inspirations at the end of your vlogs.
Your test results do not surprise me in any way guys lol. I am much like Jeremy and scored similar scores to his. It's a burden we must carry Jeremy lol. Great to see you guys back home. As always, sending love from our Saskatchewan Canada acreage to yours.
