One thing I learned about myself is that I "tend to do things haphazardly" I'm a bit undependable.

My top three strengths (according to the test) are: creative, curious, and complex. The only ones I scored high on were Open-minded and Negative Emotionally so that's why.

I was surprised by my score for conscientiousness, I scored pretty low and it said that I do things haphazardly but I really dont feel like that is true.

I just have to be careful not to burn myself out by taking on too much. I feel like the same can be applied to any career. Itll make me an asset for any company I work for.

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

I have a high score on the trait of Open-Mindedness. This means that I enjoy having new experiences and I am prone to look at things in new ways. I also tend to be original, creative and curious.

I have a low score on Conscientiousness. This means that I am impulsive, negligent, undependable and disorganized. I don't keep things around me tidy. This is an eye-opener for me. I will focus on improving myself on these fronts.

I have a very low score on Extraversion. This means that I am highly introvert. I enjoy remaining silent and spending time alone.

I have an average score on Agreeableness. This means that I am neither extremely forgiving nor irritable.

My score on Negative Emotionality is 75 percentile. This means that I am likely to remain anxious or nervous. This stresses the need for self-care. Again, this score is an eye-opener for me and I will focus on improving myself on this front.

2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?
According to this test, it seems that my strengths are primarily due to the high score in the Open-Mindedness. I tend to be original, creative and curious. Curiosity encourages me to learn about new things. And creativity and originality encourage me to create new things be it in engineering or literary or drawing. This is true as I have written poems in English and I also have an interest in drawing.
Also, I am neither irritable nor extremely forgiving. So, it is neither easy for people to irritate me nor can people around me take me for granted. I need to improve myself on other parameters.

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

I have a trait that I seek and value Harmony. I try to see good in every people. I don't like to dominate others but strongly believe in the democratic process and that every voice should be heard. In real life, people, often, don't like being overpowered or being dominated by others. They want themselves to be heard. Perhaps, that's the reason of success for social media websites like Twitter, Facebook etc. Giving every voice the opportunity to be heard helps in nurturing good relationship and helps in avoiding bias, ego-clashes besides helping in finding a better solution to the problems that I as an individual or a family member or a member of a group/team would face.
I also exhibit traits of creativity and tend to be original or curious. These traits encourage me toward continuous learning, try out new things and creating something new, original and creative, be it literary, drawing or otherwise. Continuous learning and the penchant for creating something original would help me grow both personally, professionally and would also allow me to contribute me to 7 Cups.

4. Identify and describe how your strengths can help you in your leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career.

As per the personality tests, I display the traits of an idealist. I strongly believe that people, at their heart, are good but often misunderstood. Everyone makes mistakes. Some members who seek emotional support at 7 Cups have a darker past. They might have committed mistakes which they now repent. Many members struggle with the issue of guilt. These members would be more comfortable in discussing their issues with someone who won't judge them but would believe that they, despite their mistakes and misdeeds, have goodness in them. As Mahatma Gandhi said that we should hate the bad traits but not the person who possess bad traits.
The personality tests reveal that I seek and value harmony. I don't like to dominate others. I am open-minded and flexible. I have an attitude of live-and-let-live. I don't judge people. These are important qualities for a listener. While having a conversation with a listener who possesses these traits, members would feel comfortable in discussing whatever they want to discuss. I, as a listener, would be able to serve members coming from diverse backgrounds. These traits would help me to allow them to express themselves freely without the fear of being judged. Moreover, I am not easily irritable.
This would help me in showing patience to the members who seek emotional support.

The traits that I mentioned above would allow me to work with colleagues in my professional life coming from diverse backgrounds. These traits would help me create and nurture a meaningful relationship with my colleagues and seniors in my professional life. So, these traits would help me in my career and professional growth.
