Dahulu semasa di sekolah saya ada membeli sebuah buku dikatakan karya Asaari Muhammad a.k.a Abuya, pengasas Al-Arqam bertajuk "Mengenal Diri Melalui Rasa Hati". Mengikut sumber Al-Arqam, lebih sejuta naskhah buku berkenaan terjual. Selepas tamat belajar dari luar negara saya dapati buku berkenaan sudah tiada di tempatnya walau pun saya cuba mencarinya dalam almari yang biasanya menyimpan buku-buku 'agama' di rumah.
Pada tahun 2010 saya mula-mula diperkenalkan kepada LEONARD Personality Inventory (LPI) oleh seorang ahli psikologi, Pn.Dini Rahiah binti Kadir yang pada ketika itu berkhidmat di Hospital Banting. Kira-kira dua tahun kemudian saya mengikuti kursus 'Emotional Excellence For Innovative Leadership' dengan menggunakan LPI sebagai perantara, kali ini dikendalikan oleh seorang licensed trainer yang lain. Saya dimaklumkan bayaran yang dikenakan untuk mengadakan kursus berkenaan boleh tahan tinggi juga namun saya rasa memang berbaloi.
Kepada yang berminat untuk mengenal personaliti diri sendiri dan personaliti orang lain mengikut kaedah LPI boleh layari website www.leonard.com.my
Wallahua'lam.
