Course 1, Discussion 2: The Big 5

@Hope

✒️ What were the main things that you learned about yourself? 

I've learned so much about myself and it's been quite an eye-opening experience. One thing that really stood out to me is that, despite sometimes coming across as a bit skeptical about challenges, I actually love taking risks and diving headfirst into new experiences. There's a thrilling sense of adventure that comes with stepping into the unknown, and I find it incredibly exciting.

Another fascinating aspect that the test revealed is my openness to new ideas. I have this genuine thirst for knowledge and a curiosity that drives me to explore fresh perspectives and innovative concepts. Engaging in deep, meaningful conversations that spark intellectual growth is far more fulfilling to me than engaging in pointless small talk. I crave those thought-provoking discussions that expand my horizons and challenge my analytical thinking.

Moreover, the test highlighted my extroverted and confident nature. Being around people, connecting, and engaging in social interactions truly energizes me. I feel at ease in social settings and enjoy the excitement and liveliness that comes with it. It brings out the best in me and allows me to express myself freely. I'm not afraid to assert my ideas and opinions, and I believe that my confidence plays a crucial role in personal growth.

I have found my results to be extremely accurate because I answered the questions truthfully. Overall, the Big 5 Test has provided me with deep insights into who I am as a person. It has given me the opportunity to answer without feeling ashamed that some percentages might indicate negative qualities, helping me provoke self-acceptance and curiosity. It has shown me that beneath any initial skepticism lies a passionate risk-taker who craves new experiences. It has also reinforced my love for intellectual stimulation and meaningful conversations, while highlighting my extroverted and confident nature. This newfound self-awareness empowers me to embrace my strengths, continue growing, and fully embrace the wonderful journey of self-discovery.

✒️  were the main things you learned about yourself?

- I can be shut off from other folks and not speak about what I am feeling.

- I may not notice or feel like I am judging someone, however I may be doing that without knowing I am. 

- I worry a lot of the time!

✒️ 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: I did not score as high as I was hoping for this area, maybe it is a good thing maybe it is a bad thing, who knows! It shows I have some things to work on in this area  

 Conscientiousness: According to my results I am not an organized person nor a disorganized person! I question if that is good or not, however one of my goals from this quarter is to be more organized so perhaps this is a sign of progress or something needing to be changed to make me successful!

Extroversion: There seems to be a trend as for this one I did not score in the social or non social area just in the middle! I think I am not a super talkie person but I also like talking to folks! Just not all day! I think this is a strength as I can get tired and warn down from talking to folks, but also have the courage to be able to talk to folks.

Agreeableness: I am very proud of this school I was extremely high which is great to see! This means I have a lot of support in me as well as other things, I no doubt think this is a strength in so many different ways! I enjoy being able to lend folks a hand so being supportive and caring is a great thing to have.

Negative Emotionally: This I did not score where I would have like to, but that is okay! I knew this was a struggle of mine, but something I have personally been working towards and getting better at! The overall strength here is not the emotions (the negative ones) but the fight to over comes those worrying and anxious thoughts, and just learning what makes me feel better and how to cope with these things!

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

I learned that I am open-minded and a bit disorganized.

✒️ 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 believe that the open-minded trait can help me to develop my skills in discussions with peers or projects that we need to construct ourselves.

Hi @Hope !

I learnt that I am actually an introvert and prefer to keep to myself and my close circle.

I am apparently open-minded, which is a good thing. I think this helps me to be more inclusive of people and open up various paths and opportunities for myself in terms of platonic relationships and career.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I learned that I'm neither introverted nor extroverted, meaning that I can be both, aka, an ambivert.

✒️ 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 am open minded and tend to not get easily anxious. These can help change my mindset in new situations. 

@Hope I guess I learned that I might be highly anxious and worry alot.

My strengths were mainly in my openness to New experiences and creativity, which people have generally said about me.
