It's a guide, not an answer. And it's pretty damn good at what it does.
Another thing to look into and try out are the "Clifton Strengths". Now unfortunately, you have to pay to take the test, but you can just buy the companion book and get a code along with it.
What I like about clifton strengths is they are more targeted, and you can more easily use the information to actually better yourself. You can focus on improving your strengths, or recognizing how they can or cannot be used in your profession.
For example, my #1 strength is adaptability. I do well under pressure and even look forward to emergency-like situations. I had always wondered why all the engineers would freak out when we would get hacked, or get DDOS'd, etc. and I would immediately spring into action and handle things, and even enjoyed these ugly situations. As a manager, if you know your team's individual strengths, you can better set them up for success.
