✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

The test revealed that I'm open-minded, yet have a high level of negative energy surrounding me. It also ranked me in the lower percentile of the agreeableness factor, however, this may be something I strongly oppose- I don't think I would be "rude, harsh and callous," although I tend to be extremely critical. That was something new.

✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

The test shows I'm open-minded and introverted. While I do agree that introverts can make great leaders, I find the greatest strength is being open-minded- it encompasses this willingness to listen to others and process what they are saying which in turn is one of the good traits of a leader.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

Extraversion is my highest ranking positive skill that ranked at 77%. It explains that I am social and enjoys the company of others.

✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

High ability to socialize has stood out in both tests and this can help me network in my personal life. Everyone needs a friend. No man is an island.

I really like how you broke everything down in that way, and it’s really cool to see you compared to another person and to see how different everyone is:)

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I am assertive by 89%. Shocking for me actually. I didn't think I was actually that confident. But I think it has more to do with emotional strength which makes more sense to me because I am extremely confident in my own emotional abilities to overcome stress.

It also confirmed I was 50% introverted which is pretty much the standard for me that hasn't changed since I was young.

✒️ 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 are being able to uphold myself amidst stress and staying the course. I believe in myself a lot and my ability to keep pushing is evident in this test.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

The main things I learned about myself were:
1) I'm more open minded than I thought I was.

2) I found i'm more organized than I thought I was as well. (If you were to see my room you'd know why I thought I was less organized.)

3) I am way calmer than I sometimes think I am. I actually thought I got more stressed than I do.

4) I knew I was shy and still am. I am aware of this, just didn't know I was more shy than I actually thought I were.

5) I'm not really negative about emotions. My mental says otherwise sometimes.

✒️ 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 per the test are agreeableness, and open mindedness. These strengths can help me in my personal life because being able to agree with them makes things a lot easier. If someone disagrees it could make things difficult. I am very easy going, so it's like hey do you want to do this? Most of the time I will say yes. Open mindedness is always great because you don't want to have tunnel vision, it keeps you in a tube of ideas and that's it. I don't want to be focused on just one idea, I want multiple ideas.








Please ignore the other post, I forgot about the second question.

🌹 Supportive – Defenders truly enjoy helping others, and they happily share their knowledge, attention, and expertise with anyone who needs it.

🌹 Reliable – Rather than working in sporadic, excited bursts that leave things half finished, Defenders are meticulous and careful.

🌹 Observant – Defender personalities have a talent for noticing things, particularly about other people. They pay attention to the smallest details of what someone says and does, giving them unexpected insights into other people’s lives and emotions.

🌹 Enthusiastic – When the goal is right, Defenders apply all of their gifts to something that they believe will make a real, positive difference in people’s lives.

🌹 Hardworking – Defenders don’t just get their work done – they take pride in it. People with this personality type often form an emotional attachment to the projects and organizations that they’ve dedicated themselves to, and they won’t rest until they’ve done their share – or more than their share – to be of help.

🌹 Good Practical Skills – This personality type offers the rare combination of an altruistic nature and hard-won practicality. Defenders don’t just hope to help others. They take action – meaning that they’re more than happy to roll up their sleeves and do what’s necessary to care for their friends, family, and anyone else who needs it.

🌹 I know myself well anyway but it’s always good to understand them and know who you are.

🌹 I do feel it’s with my weaknesses that I have the potential to learn more.

🌹 So interesting learning about not only myself but others who have posted on here too.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself? I learned that I’m pretty down to earth and not the most creative. I also learned that I’m not the most organized (not surprising) and that I’m pretty calm and relaxed under high pressure moments .

✒️ 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 got a 93% agreeable score and I think that’s a strength. Some of my strengths for my ISFJ personality was that I’m extremely very responsible and hardworking . I think these all are good in life for basically everything I do.

🌹I feel I know myself well so no surprises. That said, it was nice to read that I was organised and conscientious.

✒️ 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 good natured, courteous and supportive. These strengths will help me believe in myself which will in turn help me to continue to learn.
