Course 1, Discussion 2: The Big 5

@Hope

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

Most of the results I felt like I already knew about myself, but I did learn that I have negative emotionality (tends to be anxious/nervous) despite outwardly being a very calm person.

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

Per the test results, I am open-minded, reliable, good-natured, courteous, and supportive. I think these are qualities that can be helpful in building and establishing strong relationships with others in my life.

@ Hope

The truth is, the Neva test didn't change anything for me and didn't teach me anything. He just showed me things I already know. The previous test was much more new to me. The strengths I learned mainly from the previous test is my ability to work with other people effectively and this is something I take with me for life.

@Hope

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

This was my result:

Open Mindedness: yes I'm a pretty open person who looks forward to amazing experiences.

Conscientious : I'm a very well organised person and who can be relied on.

Extraversion: neither extrovert nor an introvert. Really it depends upon the situation.

Agreeableness : i usually respect others decision and I'm not very dominating kind of nature.

Negative emotionality: I'm a person who gets very often anxious and worried.

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 were that I'm a pretty empathetic person. I can really understand others well and it helps me in my personal life to help my parents, friends and partners through their hard times. I'm a reliable person which is very important in the life to be successful. I'm an ambivert (it's good I can change myself according to the situation). At the end it helped me see who I am really and it will help me better myself

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I scored high on openness and neuroticism, and I scored low on extraversion. I learnt that I emphasise insight, creativity, and imagination. I also tend to be prone to stress, worries, and mood shifts. As an introvert, I am more reserved and I prefer solitude to recharge my energy.

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

Based on the test, my strengths are

• very creative;
• open to trying new things;
• focused on tackling new challenges; and
• happy to think about abstract concepts.

Being open to new things allows me to have valuable experiences. I can also find unique solutions to problems through creative thinking and seeing connections that others do not

@Hope

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

You are relatively open to new experiences; You are well-organized, and are reliable.; You are extremely outgoing, social, and energetic.; You tend to consider the feelings of others.; You aren't particularly nervous, nor calm.

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

They all are strengths. I try to improve in many of my life aspects.

I scored highest on open-mindedness, half-half on conscientiousness, and lowest on negative emotionality. From these results, I can assure myself that I am a fairly calm or relaxed person, which is a good thing to me. I don't know if I can see much of a weakness, which I am actually glad about. Despite this, I will continue to work on myself when I can, and hopefully become who I want to be in the future!

@Hope

Again, being introverted seems to be my weakness - I'd like to work on becoming more extroverted as I find being introverted quite hard.
