What were the main things you learned about yourself?
I learned that by taking the big 5 test that I do not like taking these kinds of tests. They are not beneficial to me nor do they adequately define who I am as a person. I answered questions honestly and am not pleased with my results. My results said that I scored high on open-mindedness and negative emotionality... and scored low on conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion. According to that it just makes me seem cold blooded, irresponsible, and negligent and that is soooo far from the truth. I am introverted, yes, but I care for others. I have moments of sadness, yes, but I love my life. I have potential for good and bad in me and that is just because I am human. At the end of the day, I am what I say I am and what my actions show me to be... not what a test says.
What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?
I scored in the 96th percentile for open-mindedness, so that is a good thing.
@YourCaringConfidant
I agree these type of test can be hit or miss with the accuracy of the scores you can receive. I don't think you can truly tell a person's personality and nature off a couple questions that they answered.
@Hope
I learnt -
Open-minded -
somewhat conventional.
Conscientiousness
I have a messy desk! (Your percentile: 6)
Extraversi
Shy away from social situations.
Agreeableness
I find it easy to criticize others.
Negative Emotionality.
My strengths acc to the test ;
Open minded
@BenittaJ Hello! Haha, we are kinda different in many ways! Diversity is actually great to see. :))
Have a great day!
✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?
As similar as Discussion one, nothing different. maybe I am a bit lazy and disorgonized, but I don't know how that affect me being dependable or not. And personally, I don't think it's a good test, tend to choose most cases :)
✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?
That I am not someone with negetive emotionality. But as I said I don't yhink the test is accurate, I don't trust it to be honest.
@iPHOENIX
I can understand why you must feel that way. The test isn't as inclusive and we tend to act differently in different situations regardless of our labeled traits. 🍀

1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
I've come to understand that I possess a combination of both extroverted and introverted characteristics. I believe this to be advantageous in the long term, as it allows me to cultivate a social network in my professional life while also enabling me to make more thoughtful choices when it comes to my personal relationships.
2. What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?
My strengths as per the BIG 5 test:-
<3 Open-Mindedness: I have a strong sense of curiosity and creativity, and am willing to consider new ideas and perspectives.
<3 Extraversion: I have a balanced approach to social interactions, and am comfortable building relationships and collaborating with others.
<3 Agreeableness: I am able to approach conflicts with a level head and find compromises that work for everyone, while also being an independent thinker.
How the strengths I identified can help me in my personal life:-
I believe that the MBTI and BIG 5 tests offered me great insights into my strengths and the areas I need to work on. I am doing quite well in my personal life, rather than applying any strengths I'd like to reflect on how my perfectionist trait has caused a hassle in my relationships So I'd like to set realistic expectations for myself and the people around me 🍀
