PL 101: The Big 5 (Discussion 3)

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

---That I'm confused by too many questions on myself and tend to opt for "neither agree nor disagree" in most cases 😄 Also that I'm emotional, reliable, artistic, anxious, usually organized, and a lot more.

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

I'm usually organized. I'm positive & enthusiastic (unless depressed or anxious). I'm reserved. Reserved people are deep thinkers, hold deep conversations, are compassionate and are good listeners. (They're not necessarily shy. Like me.)

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

Knowing my strengths and weaknesses, I can actually understand why I'm doing what and not keep wondering about the same. It helps knowing your own features and nature. Helps us be aware and make amends wherever necessary. Helps us building on our strengths further and utilize them.

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

I can commit to projects that interest me and that has the nature of work flow or requirements that suits my style. I can be a better leader by using my strengths to turn my weaknesses into opportunities. Also I can support the community of leaders with my strengths wherever my co-leaders may have weaknesses. It can help me understand them better for better team work.

Being organized, I can improve processes and maintain them in a nice way using my own ways. Being positive & enthusiastic, I can bring positive vibes in my projects and people I work with. I can turn difficult things into something more doable because I believe if it's not me, someone else will do it after I quit, so why not me? Being reserved, I can use my deep thinking ability to identify problems and work through them. My compassion and good listening skill is partly because I'm reserved. I can also use this to focus better on my priorities and my deliverables. I can avoid distraction. But this is just my perspective about being reserved. Also I'm more social than reserved, not sure why my test results show different. I think I'm a mix of both..
