THE CONVERSATION
I’VE KNOWN MY BROTHER ANDREW his entire life. Growing up, we were very different. Now, as I enter my 60s and he finishes up his 50s and 50s, thanks in part to the Kolbe test, we finally understand how we operate. We al- ways knew we operated differently, but the Kolbe test explained why we are so different.
The truth is that once I took my Kolbe Test, I wanted my brother to take it as well. I knew in my heart that it would explain a lot—the arguments, the mis- understandings, and the completely different ways we act. It seems so appar- ent now, but as you are about to discover, it wasn’t evident to us.
I am proud to present this illuminating interview that focuses on where our actions stem from. The raw insights presented here help us understand the power of a Kolbe test. But even if you or your siblings never take a test, I hope it drives home the point of KNOWING YOURSELF!
