If you have not ever heard of the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, then you need some ed-ju-ma-cation right now!
It's a free and easy 15- to 20-minute test you can take to find out what type of personality you have. For instance, I am an INFJ, which is an "Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Judging" type of person. I am what they call, "the Advocate," or the person who will help others become the best person they can be, for themselves, which is so me.
So, why I think it is important to know your personality type is because a lot of what I read about my personality type cleared up a lot of things about myself that I didn't fully understand.
Now, this isn't to say that personality tests will change your life around, but I do believe they will help you better understand the type of person you are, and why you may handle situations the way that you do.
Also, just because I may be an INFJ does not mean that someone else who has that same personality type also acts the same way I do because every single person is unique, different and special in their own way.
