They possibly could help me improve as a person and focus on embracing and improving my strengths to help me in any future situation I may need them. It would also let me know what I'm not doing so good at, so then I can turn what's not my strengths, into strengths with time.

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

The strengths i identified in both tests would help me in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in my career is because everywhere needs someone that is open minded and passionate, I think being a leader, Its good to be passionate about what you're leading. Same with if you're going into a career, you'd want to be passionate about the subject of the career so you can keep going further into the role or career without getting uninterested or unmotivated. Being open minded, you can be a better leader since then you can be open to others suggestions for improvement. There's always things to improve on, sometimes it's hard for yourself to identify what needs that improvement so being open minded will help you get other perspectives on yourself and your situation, as with others and their situations.

Though being ENFP, I got lower score in Agreeableness, maybe due to me being STEM junkie and having developed Extroverted Thinking based on my MBTI, I prefer truth and pragmatism though being emotional and authentic. Also, both Extraversion and Neuroticism appeared for me to be on the middle, I seem to be a practical ambivert. To be continued...

Hello, and here we go!

1. What are the main things I learnt about myself?

This test had some questions which made me think twice and there was a myriad of things related to my personality I was unaware of. I came to know that I could be anxious and worried at times, that I need to work on my aspect of sympathizing with others and that I am social and energetic as well, love to try out new things, and have a curious, inquisitive nature.

Although I haven’t decided about my career, I believe that wonderful leadership qualities adorn the aspect of our work and these strengths will enable me to actively communicate, add more to advance the workplace and not let others down.
