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

I learned that I am extremely open-minded, which I was not expecting, but I also don't think it's a bad thing for a site like 7Cups with so many different nationalities! Also, I learned that currently I'm quite high strung. Usually, I am not, but these days I have so much work! I should try my best to give myself more free time to alleviate stress as well as participate in enjoyable activities when I have time.

Some things I learned about myself: I learned that I love trying new things and how I act towards people differs depending on the situation.

Some of my strengths are: Being able to stay well-organized, reliable, creative, love trying new things.

Being able to stay well organized will help because I can locate things easily and not have to worry about looking for things. Being reliable helps for trust as in from a boss or coworker. being creative helps in the choices I make in life to stand out from others. Trying new things is helpful with going out of my comfort zone and learning that i may like new things that are better for me than other things that may not have been the best for me. this will help on cups because i can step out of my comfort zone and talk to more people.

1. One big thing that I learned is that although I am accepting of people and ideas whose beliefs differ from mine, I am actually more conventional than I thought. This is the main thing that I learned because I’ve always considered myself to be more open-minded, rather than conventional, as the test states about me.

2. According to the test, my top 3 strengths are that I’m reliable, agreeable, and very well-organized.

3. In my personal life, my highly conscientious personality is a strength that I can use to practise proper time management in my academics so that I have enough time to relax in the evening and throughout the weekend, as well as keeping on track with my school work. That way, my stress levels don’t get too high from cramming all my studying and assignments.

4. Being highly conscientious means that I am very reliable, well-organized, and self-disciplined. These traits are very useful for me in a leadership role both on 7 cups and in my career because people can look up to me as a reliable leader that they can count on. In addition, since I’m self-disciplined and organized myself, I can make sure everyone is on track with their tasks, especially in a career setting.
