✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

--> I learned The 5 big elements of my personality. I have mixed feelings about the accuracy of it.

✒️ 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: High score(94) I strongly agree that it is one of my best strengths.

Conscientiousness: showed a neutral result. But a little bit leaning towards more organized. 

Extraversion: Tend to shy away from social situations. this is somewhat true. 

Agreeableness: Tend to consider the feelings of others

Negative Emotionality: showed a high score which is not always the case I believe. 

Altogether it is an opportunity for me to see my strengths and weaknesses and I am definitely working on my weaknesses.

We have some similar strengths and weakness. I can relate to your views. I am happy that you openly shared with us your personal thoughts on what you discovered about yourself. It is not easy. Great job!

✒️What were the main things you learned about yourself? The results of the quiz stated that I dont seek out new opportunities. I didn't agree to that, as I am always searching new experiences every single day. I am a bit hesitant to venture into unknown places but if I find it safe I will seize the day. 

✒️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 my organization skills, as well as my my reliability.

✒️Please reply to at least 1 of your peers in this thread with encouraging or supportive words! @safetysource12, Your open-mindedness will help you in active listening as it will be beneficial to many people including 7 cups members.

✒️ 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 learned I am close-minded. I also apparently tend be stressed or anxious about stuff commonly. I’m not super forgiving, nor am I super irritated. I also learned that I am very surprised about is the fact I am very unorganized person hehe.

I couldn’t find anyone to support hehe (this forum is so chaoticcc)

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

The result is just what I expected about myself. However, I feel like I may have a high score in conscientiousness because I tend to keep my tasks organised for now.

✒️ 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 typically don't seek out new experiences

Conscientiousness: you probably have a messy desk

Extraversion: you probably enjoy spending quiet time alone

Agreeableness: you are neither extremely forgiving nor irritable

Negative Emotionality: You tend to become anxious or afraid

Im open minded and enjoy seeing things in new ways. im neither organized nor disorganized. I find it easy to express irritation with others and i usually get anxious easily.

✒️ 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 mostly see my open minded state as a strength, it helps me think about see other perspectives and opinions and think and choose better options : )

I have understood better a lot of things about myself including that i tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
O
n the other hand I can be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous;
However, sometimes I'm nervous, insecure, worrying and are somewhat conventional.

✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?
in the big five test i found myself to have a big quality called agreeableness which means im very easy to find common grounds in any situation which makes human connection an easy task to have to do..

In both tests i find myself as a person who values human connections and try my best to enhance such connection so its helping me pursue my happiness when i talk to people like you here

@Hope

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

Honestly that i have trouble taking these personality tests, to majority of questions i find myself wanting to end in the middle or thinking it depends on the situation. Found it very hard to answer, i do not think it is because i do not know, rather than it truly varies for me, i do not feel like i have this set strong identity and feel strictly about things. Am quite variable.

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

Biggest one is that i tend  to consider feelings of others, which can very much be a negative if not managed properly. I love that i have a big heart and care about others so deeply but i also need to take care of myself and channel that energy for myself too. I am still a person afterall and you can not pour from an empty cup. 

Also that i tend to be very anxious and go off of my emotions a lot, am quite sensitive, so i need to work on channeling that inner strength and peace.

I love your self-awareness.  I hear a lot of compassion in your post.  I also hear the challenge with the tests.  I feel that some too, particularly when it is some true but some not.  One of my results put me right in the middle but the result I felt wasn't as accurate as it should be, but it's not going to be perfect, because if I took it tomorrow, it would be in the ballpark but could be slightly different.

I love your take away on how to apply it with the anxiousness and emotions.  That is a great idea.

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

This was a very interesting test.  It showed I'm not very keen to new experiences, which is actually partly true, but except in certain situations.  The rest wasn't new to me.  I'm reliable and organized, I enjoy the company of others (my friends specifically), I'm good natured and supportive, and I'm not particularly nervous nor calm.  I pretty much take it in the middle.


✒️ 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 wise, the organization, my empathy and supportiveness are definitely strengths.  I'm to help with projects and problem solve, yet be caring and take others feelings and feedback into consideration.  In general I'm a leader and I enjoy being a leader, but I like it when others are willing to step up and take on tasks that cater to their strengths too.  I enjoy seeing people grow, which feeds into my encouraging and supportive side.

In my personal life, it helps me in relationships, it helps me to have balance in my relationships and my time between volunteering and personal life.  It allows me to take care of me as well as to be careful to sensitive to my needs.  The organization helps me to notice my needs and keep my schedule doable and not too overwhelming (most of the time).

True. This test was quite hard for me too while taking it for the first time as we are pondering over each questions that touches certain sensitive spots. But this is also a sign we are being truthful in our answers / at least are trying to be which in itself is a step towards genuine progress!

@Ivy229 It’s great to see that your test results confirm what you already know about yourself, showing consistency over time. Your strengths in open-mindedness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness are admirable and can significantly enhance your personal life, making you creative, reliable, and supportive. Embrace these qualities, and continue to manage your anxiety with effective strategies. You're on a wonderful path of self-awareness and growth!
