Course 1, Discussion 1: MBTI Personality Types

@AwarmHEART that's really nice! It sure is a plus to be an open minded person!

Hi @Hope !

My personality type is INFP!

I learnt that I am actually not a very forgiving person but this comes after MASSIVE patience and tolerance.

@safetysource12

It is is good you learned about yourself and noticed you have issues forgiving people easily.  That is difficult bymut hopefully with time you can improve

ISTP

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I learned how much I enjoy new situations and explorations of boundaries - testing the extents of my limits. Additionally, I realized that I'm more focused on the present and tend to rely more on logic than emotion. Although my emotions run deep, I tend to conceal them because I do not know how to deal with them. 

@calmstrawberry0608

i sometimes feel this way too, not knowing how to handle my thoughts and having emotional decision making to do that leads to ruminating thoughts. i wish you all the best!!!

@calmstrawberry0608 I always feel that way, the thoughts crushed me but I try to make myself stand up. Wish you good luck 

@HopeI am INFJ.  I learned about myself that I can be introverted and private but empathetic and also I guess I have quite a few behaviours typical for INFJs

@HopeINFJ

I learned that I lean sometimes to my feelings rather than my brain

@wonderousLove3994 did you think the test result fit your personality? I think it's OK to leave with your heart occasionally.🩷

✒️ What is your personality type? Include your 4 letters please (Example: INTJ) I'm an INFPAan assertive mediator.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?well I would say this personality tight is spot on for me. I do however come across as an extrovert so I think sometimes people find that especially confusing.I can be the life of the party, but when I get home I have to decompress. And I absolutely love my alone time and need it.

My personality type is INTP - T

The thing I learned about me were ,

1 . I'm someone who seeks novelty rather than stability.

2 . I value originality and hidden meanings and distant possibilities

3. I'm a rational person. Even though I'm highly sensitive, I strive to find rationality in my choices .

4. I'm more inclined to calmer environments and I prefer few meaningful connections.

@ChromaticFinss

self awareness. is always helpful 🤍

@ChromaticFinss

I love all of this about you! I love that you find hidden meanings within things and that you are rational. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being highly sensitive. 😊 Meaningful connections are so important in life, even just a few!! 💗

Keep being awesomely you Fins!! I think it's important for us to know our strengths and weaknesses because it can help us to grow and to better understand ourselves. I wish you the bestest on your journey of life and understanding who you are. 💗 Love yourself because you are awesome and we are so lucky to have you here at 7Cups!!

Much love,
Kayla 💛✨

Thank you Kayla ð¥°

My personality type is ESTP-A

what I learned about my self 

instantaneous observation and action are my strong suites

@tranquilechoe

that's a great reflection! : )

@Hope

What is my personality type?

ENFJ-A

What were the main things I learned about myself from the personality test?

Honestly, the personality test was dead on accurate, except for a few things. I was a little shocked to be honest that it was so spot on. I learned my role is a diplomat. Which fits. Normally, I am the peacekeeper or the person who helps others figure out their problems and come to an agreement civilly. I learned my strategy is People Mastery. Which again is true. As far as my traits, this is what I learned:
STRENGTHS: I love helping others grow into their best selves which gives me a deep sense of fulfillment. I love to help people that I care about solve their problems, sometimes at any cost and not always a success. This part is so very true. I can't help myself sometimes and insert myself into other's problems trying to help and sometimes I just make things worse. I stand up for people and what's right even if it means facing down daggers and arrows. Which again is so true. I don't give up on fighting for what's right, even if it costs me my job or anything else. I refuse to participate in things that aren't right and that end up hurting people, not helping. I'm passionate, reliable, receptive, and charismatic. WEAKNESSES: I can be intense. I am overly empathetic. This right here, this is a huge problem and habit that I have. I tend to take on other's issues as my own because I am so empathetic, which can leave me feeling emotionally and mentally exhausted and drained and unable to take care of my own needs. The last thing that I learned which is so true, is that I have this nagging fear that I might not reach my full potential and make the most out of the life that has been given to me.

I will reply to one of my peers after I post this discussion response.

Also, I asked a very trusted friend and coworker and she said my top 3 strengths are:

1.) Hardworking

2.) Result-Oriented

3.) Proactive

@KaylaMaulfair

I love your enthusiasm, Kayla! 

@KaylaMaulfair

wao, I had that shock too.. It was indeed an accurate personality test. 

I can see you are a diplomat type. It's good to possess such qualities. People mastery is one of the best people-skill I must agree. I have seen my friends having this type of personality and they are so comfortable to be around. 

@Hope

✒️ What is your personality type? Include your 4 letters please (Example: INTJ)

My personality type is ISFJ-T.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I learned or already knew that I am 100% introverted in real life settings, that I am very observant of others of what is happening and what is most likely to happen, I value emotion from others and I express a lot of emotion as well.  I learned I am self-conscious and sensitive to stress. I always feel a sense of urgency in my emotions and tend to be a perfectionistic, and always ready for feedback so I can improve.

@WishUponAStar968

@DanCat1128- I realized that we may be judgemental of ourselves because we lean on being a perfectionist or just perhaps hard on ourselves when we are in fact doing our best and trying our best! I see you often and know how supportive you are and my judgement is that you are a sincere and honest person who strives to help!

@HopeIn response to each of these questions, I will provide my personality type code and the main things I learned about myself. My personality type is ESFP-T. As an Entertainer, I excel in bringing joy and excitement to others through various forms of art and entertainment.

What is your personality type? I

nclude your 4 letters please (Example: INTJ): I am having trouble remembering because I went and read so many of the profiles!  lol   INFP

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?  That I tend to relate to whatever I expect or want to see.

✒️ Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words!

I tend to keep thinking and always seem to have more to say!  lol  I wish we could edit posts.  

I'm going to respond again to the first question - what is my personality type.  The truth is, I don't know.  

I have taken this test many times in my life - including the original long-form version.  I notice that I've tested as a variety of personality types, and I find that interesting.  I read other type summaries and noted that I do have traits (or think I do) described by many of them.  It made me curious and so I went and learned more about the origin and history of the test, and found the results pretty interesting (which also demonstrates several traits by itself).  Maybe I'm a "mutt". 

I wonder how many people relate to the traits of many "personality types"? 

@JustSophia Sounds like your curious and thats always a good trait to have! Personally because im in the middle of the extraversion scale on many tests so my personality type sometimes changes to extraversion or introversion. So youre not alone with the changing results on personality tests!

✒️ What is your personality type? Include your 4 letters please (Example: INTJ)

My personality type is INTP-A

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I already knew I was in the middle on the introvert extrovert spectrum.  I already knew I focus more on patterns (intuition) than senses. I already knew I'm thinking. I did know to some extent the last letter too. Personally I think we should look critical at this personality test since it overlooks emotional stability and its hard to put billions of people into 16 boxes. If I remember correctly there isn't a lot of scientific evidence supporting MBTI either. Therefore I believe something like the big 5 is a lot better.

@TheOnlyChresser

I couldn't agree more.  Meyers-Briggs is based on the theories of a mother-daughter team from the the first half of the 20th century.  It's not really based on science.  It has its uses, but not as a valid or reliable test of personality type.

--> My personality type is INTJ-T

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

--> according to the description This personality type people tend to lead towards pursuing their own ideas rather than fulfilling other's expectations. I kind of knew that about myself but after going through the test, It was confirmed.

- all the points made are so true and fit perfectly for me. I was not aware of the confirmation. But Now I do. 

@Hope

My personality type is an INFJ.

I learned about myself that I am empathetic, hardworking, a bit introverted and intuitive.
