@Hope

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I learned that I can do better to keep things organized. This area requires my time and attention. Once I manage to stay organized, my life will improve hopefully.

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

Open-Mindedness: You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways.

Conscientiousness: You are neither organized nor disorganized.

Extraversion: You tend to shy away from social situations.

Agreeableness: You find it easy to express irritation to others.

Negative emotionality: You tend to become anxious or nervous.

I can improve my personal life by acknowledging my strengths and working on my weaknesses. Gaining awareness of our strengths and weakness can certainly help us with our personal life. I realized that I'm good at assertive communication, and I can use this skill positively in my life. I also realized that I need to work on being more social.

@Hope✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

Very Open to New Experiences / Very Conscientious / Introverted / Very Agreeable / Relaxed

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

Strengths - Open, Conscientious, Agreeable, & Relaxed - good for my profession - Architect - I enjoy being an Introvert in fact, I prefer it to being an Extrovert. I am an Extrovert with Friends I like these traits and if I see a lack or a hindrance, I wish I was more Extroverted in new Social Settings, but then I love observing.

@Hope

My main strengths are open-mindedness, extraversion (friendliness and sociability), and agreeableness. I was already aware that I am fairly open-minded and accepting of others, but it was interesting to see that my friendliness, sociability, talkative around others, and fun-loving nature does count as extraversion, even if I will not seek it out if I have the opportunity to be alone. It is good to note that these are percentile scores, but I learned that I am much more open-minded and extroverted than I initially thought. Over the past few years, I have seen myself embrace leadership positions, become more assertive, and less tolerant of hypocrisy. Perhaps my results would have been very different even 4 years ago.

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

My results did feel true to me. According to the results, I am more Open to new experiences and conscientious, agreeable. I am also more Extraverted than Introverted according to the test which was the first time a test showed me this, I am more of a ambivert I think. Also the test showed that I more nervous/high strung which i think is true.

✒️ 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 recognised a lot of my strengths and will try to enhance them. I am reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful. This helps me to be more goal oriented and achieve all the things I really want to. I am also good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous which is true hehe, thats why I tried to become a listener

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

it surprised me when I am negative emotionally as I don’t see that as a quality of myself and neither do my friends and family. I am able to validate others emotionsher,so not having strong emotional regulation is kind of surprising to me.

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

Agreeableness and Extraversion- it’s important have a kind, calm, and nurturing personality when interacting with others, it’s also important depending on the situation you find yourself in to be agreeable to others as we never know what’s going through their head and you need to remain forgiving.

@Hope Thank you for your post!

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 enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways, I am good-natured, courteous, and supportive. Through this strenghts, I want to help others <3

@Hope okay, let's be real. I was more disappointed than surprised seeing the results. Maybe the test was not kind to me or I was not kind to myself.

O - 47

C - 1

E - 43

A - 0

N - 91

I consider myself to be a harsh and rude person but seeing this, I feel like I got all the negative traits.

My MBTI personality test was atleast relatable and convincing. My strengths according to the test are

• Analytical
• Curious
• Original
• Open-minded
• Objective

But I am judging myself now.

@Hope

I got more of an openness trait and least neuroticism. My strengths as per the test is that i'm more creative, adventurous, and intellectual.
