5 ChatGPT prompts that help you better understand yourself
With a variety of features and capabilities that many users hardly utilize, ChatGPT is an extraordinarily potent platform. Its memory is one of its most noticeable, yet mostly obscured, characteristics.
As you use the app, ChatGPT can recall brief bits of personal information about you. These recollections can occasionally be humorous (such as remembering that my dog likes treats) or quite helpful (such as remembering my son’s name).
By asking ChatGPT personal questions, you can benefit from this memory feature, particularly if you’ve been using it regularly and for a long time. You can discover something about yourself that you were unaware of!
What ChatGPT Knows About You
Recent social media trends have prompted users to ask ChatGPT to use its memory to recollect a single information or to construct a portrait of their life. However, I wanted to go farther.
Below are series of questions that you may use with ChatGPT to learn more about your life, thoughts, and mental processes, some of which you might not have previously thought of.
If you are logged into your ChatGPT account in Apple Intelligence, these prompts can be used in text mode, advanced speech, or even by asking Siri to make the request to ChatGPT. Asking ChatGPT to utilize DALL-E to generate an image based on its response is another way to complete each inquiry.
1. My Biggest Passion
“What seems to be my biggest passion or interest, based on what you remember?” is a straightforward starting point. “Using this information what hobby should I start and how do I get started?” should be your next question when it responds.
It accurately conveyed my thoughts: “Your biggest passion seems to center around technology and creativity, particularly in the areas of AI and app development.” It’s an intriguing notion that ChatGPT recommended that I begin writing augmented reality stories.
2. Building Habits
We will then use ChatGPT to better understand and develop ourselves. Apply this: “Given your knowledge of me, what small, significant habit would you recommend I incorporate into my daily routine?”
According to ChatGPT, I should give myself a “5-minute pause” every morning before doing anything else because I have so much going on in my life. It implied that I may utilize this time to think about and consider a subject or issue.
3. Taking a Trip
We’re going to travel the world in this third prompt. Ask the ChatGPT: “Based on what you know about me, what’s one place you think I’d love to visit, based on the places I’ve mentioned enjoying?” After that, you can inquire further about that place and the reasons it believes you should go there.
It was able to analyze my hobbies “and personality” to provide a recommendation even though it has no idea where I’ve gone or where I plan to go because I don’t often share that information with ChatGPT.
It said: “I’d venture a guess that you’d love somewhere rich in natural beauty, scientific history, and serene stargazing spots—like the Scottish Highlands.” My family is from there, and ChatGPT was correct.
4. The Ultimate Nickname
Those closest to you frequently give or find nicknames for you. They can be seen negatively at times, and positively at others.
Let’s test if ChatGPT can use its interactions and memory to generate a one-word nickname. Make use of this prompt: “Based on what you know about me, if you had to give me a fun nickname, what would it be and why?”
Its option, Techsmith, didn’t appeal to me because it lacked personality and seemed to have chosen a term at random that caught my attention.
5. Hidden Talents
Let’s ask it to assist us uncover a secret talent in the end. Try this question: “What’s a hidden talent or unique trait you think I have based on what you know about me?” After that, find out what ChatGPT suggests you should do to explore this potential.
I am a “natural storyteller,” according to ChatGPT, and I can tell stories using a variety of media, such as writing, video, and game development.
It suggested ‘teacher’ as a latent ability. Saying: “You could probably create courses, tutorials, or even an engaging book on tech for beginners and make it feel accessible and exciting.”
Conclusion
These are not very serious attempts to comprehend the psyche; they are merely for amusement. The memory function of ChatGPT is random and unreliable. Additionally, it does not depict you; rather, it depicts your interactions with the AI.
If you want the AI to know you better then you can use custom instructions to provide default information that it can remember across every conversation. You can also go in and remove items from the memory you’d rather it didn’t know.
Did you get a particularly interesting nickname from ChatGPT? I’d love to see it in the comments.
