PL 101: The Big 5 (Discussion 3)

I tend to be open minded, conscientous, neutral with social interactions, neither irritable or extremely forgiving, and not particularly nervous or calm. The open mindedness will definitely come in handy as an active listener on 7 cups when interacting in one on one chats. Both tests mentioned I was reliable, which is definitely a good quality to have as an active listener on 7 cups.

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

Living in a society, allows us to be dependent on people in different phases of our life and the way we can give back to those who have mentored, supported and nurtured us, is to do the very same by being and considerate to others and offering help when they are in need. This allowed me to be an altruistic empathetic which brought forward my love for volunteering and social care. Being open to new experiences is life nurturing and fulfilling as it allows me to close a door and welcome another, spark creativity and learn valuable lessons. Being extroverted helped me overcome my weaknesses and allowed me to open myself and communicate efficiently with anyone.

4. How can the strengths you have identified on both tests help you in a leadership position on 7 cups and in your career.

Being open to new opportunities, allows me to spark my creativity and put it into action when planning new strategies and mechanisms. Being considerate to others is yet an essential skill that a leader must possess which makes them a successful one as well. This trait allows me to consider ideas and opinions of fellow members and support one at times of need and importance. Members are the bridging step of an organisation and they are motivated through the support of a leader. Being an extrovert assists in my efficiency in discussions and sharing of ideas and plans.

I was not much surprised on my high score on the Neuroticism trait, because I know anxiety and worry play a dominant part in my life. I was a bit shocked by how my Openness score was so high because I usually tend to stray away from exploring the world around me, preferring to stay in my own bubble.

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

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

More than learning new stuff, it reiterated a couple of characteristics I felt I had and what others have told me I have. I was slightly surprised by the Neuroticism trait which gave a higher score than I expected. So that is something I want to work on so that it doesn’t play quite as much a dominant role.

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

Being open-minded, reliable and highly agreeable/ supportive.

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

In my personal life, they allow me to have much deeper and meaningful relationships with the people closest to me. I feel it also ensures that relations aren’t broken due to petty fights as the care or love generally triumphs any ill-natured thoughts.

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

The strengths identified allow me to better understand the people I’m listening to or working with. Being flexible and open also allows for a range of ideas to flow in from people thus enabling change.

@GlenM

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I learned that the test is very accurate. In addition, I learned, as my results gave, that I’m “neither organized or disorganized”. I learned that I can be described as “[enjoying] having novel experiences”, and based on research, I believe that means that I enjoy having new experiences. I learned that I’m neither organized or disorganized personality wise, and that I am more disorganized than organized, which I do feel to be true. From putting links everywhere on my computer, to leaving things here and there. But for the side of being organized, I have a folder that I made and added to that is all fixed pretty for me.

According to the test, my top 3 strengths are Open-Mindedness, Extraversion, and Agreeableness.
