It’s Heidi Klum! Well, at least that's how I’d describe her with seven emojis. Keep in mind that people who know her personally might choose different emojis.

Curiosity struck me, and I thought, why not describe someone I know very well personally? That's exactly what I did. I grabbed my smartphone and selected seven emojis to describe myself.

But why stop there? I reached out to a friend and asked her to choose seven emojis for me. She had a brilliant idea – she sent me the emojis without revealing any context. It was up to me to guess why she had chosen each one. Afterwards, she revealed her true intentions, and we reversed roles.

Comparing our chosen emojis was not only hilarious but also turned out to be more than I expected. Initially, I was aiming for a creative, fun, and lighthearted way to reflect on my personality, skills, and values. However, the experiment went beyond that. It strengthened our relationship and led to meaningful and thought-provoking conversations. I felt inspired and uplifted afterward.

Do you use emojis? If you do, this is for you! You might gain insights into how you (and others) perceive you today. It can be an opportunity to gain self-knowledge and discover hot topics to discuss with your loved ones.

I invite you to explore: If I’d describe myself in 7 emojis – which would I pick? Be open to reflecting your personality, skills, values, and more.

Some emojis may come to mind immediately. Note them down on your smartphone. Then, delve deeper: What represents an essential part of who I am? How would I introduce myself? What do I need? What's important to me? Brainstorming some words before scrolling through your emoji keyboard might help you find inspiration.

If you end up with more than seven emojis, select the most important ones. Add notes on why you chose each one. What insights did you gain? How do you feel now? Encouraged? Inspired to make changes?

You can pause here, or you can take it one step further and share this experiment with a friend or partner, as I did. Ask them if they would be interested in choosing seven emojis to describe you. However, don't take it personally if they decline – it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Here's what you can do: Let them pick the emojis and send them to you without any explanation. Then, it's your turn to guess why they chose each one. Afterwards, they can reveal their intentions. Did you choose the same emojis? Did you have similar intentions in mind? What are the differences?

Now, the two of you can switch roles!

How was your experience? How does it make you feel?
