My score on Neuroticism was also a big surprise, apparently I'm really neutral when it comes to being nervous or calm.

How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life? My strengths from both tests help me explore how to further my confidence and acceptance of myself. And reflects in who I be around and pick as friends/family, and the type of person I am.

How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role in 7Cups and in your career? I think my strengths from both tests push me to be a better leader as I learn more about myself, and about the roles/responsibilities I take on. It helps me stay organized for details and times. But also sticking to the basics of rules, not putting in my opinion, just finding what is fair to move forward and grow.

For 7Cups its seeing how I can be the best listener/mentor/roomsupporter/moderator/safety/supporter/forum/adult-teen -- No matter what label you put on me, in the core I am striving for the same thing. And seeing how I can grow and learn from the community so I can further my reach of helping as I take on more responsbilities.

In my career (or school since I'm still very much on starting steps in my career), it is seeing how i can be the best influencer/helper/responder/employee/student/friend -- How being me equates to the person I am in the eyes of others. And what I can do to help and reach more people than I already do.

I'd say being open-minded, being outgoing, and being sociable.

I think that being a friendly, open-minded person is crucial for leadership development. You're talking to people- training, organizing, planning, etc, and it's important to have a good way to talk to people

@GlenM

1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?

From taking this test, I learned that I am way more open to new experiences than I thought I was! I am generally a person who really enjoys consistency and "more of the same" in my life. So that was super eye opening to me! Everything else that the test told me really fell in line with what I was expecting!

2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?

My top 3 strengths accoring to this test are being open to new experiences, being organized, and being very agreeable.

3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

These are things that can help me in my personal life. Being open to new experiences helps me to move with the flow and work with new problems and challenges that arise in life which is something that frequently happens. Being organized helps me to keep everything in my life in order so that I am always on top of things that need to be taken care of in my personal life. Being agreeable is also a good thing in my personal life because being agreeable means that I am able to work well with others and collaborate.

4. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career?

My strengths help me as much in my professional life as they do in my personal life. Being open to new experiences allows me to expand my horizons and take on new projects. Being organized is always good in a professional situation because being disorganized in professional work makes it really hard to stay on top of everything as is required. Being agreeable will help me to be able to collaborate with others in professional projects!

This was another great learning experience!!

1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I learned that I am more stable in Neuroticism than I predicted before taking the test. I feel like this test is a good summary of the strengths that I have. I also learned that what I predicted before taking the test was relatively close to what the results were, but the results were a bit more closer to the ends of the scale than I was thinking. It made me feel like I have good self awareness.

Openness - You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways

These strengths can be used to find work roles that are suited to these qualities. It would be good to find a job that involves people, flexibility and challenging problems, but allows me to be organised and structured throughout my week. And in terms of social connections, I feel like I understand myself and how I socialise better. I'm more introverted, but enjoy spending quality time with others. It's given me things to think about too, in terms of looking out for things that make me feel worried or anxious.

4. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career?

Its helped me to identify what sort of roles I may apply for in the future. I like to be a bit more in the background, rather than a more assertive leader role. Its helped me identify that I might thrive better in a supportive role, or a role that researches solutions to problems. It has helped me realise my areas of strength, and the areas that I can improve on with a bit of practice and effort. It has been really beneficial taking this test!
