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

This test has confirmed some of the ways I interpret my personality. I am not surprised to know I scored very high for neuroticism, as I am a very anxious person and tend to overthink a lot. I think this also plays into my score for openness, as I like to experience and try new things, but I am cautious to put myself into a situation that could elevate my anxiety further.

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

According to this test, my top 3 strengths would be neuroticism, agreeableness, and openness. Neuroticism can be a strength as I have greater self-awareness, and a stronger need to provide for others. I do see myself as agreeable as I value getting along with others. I am very imaginative and curious, so I do see how I scored for openness as well.

c) High Agreeableness (91 percentile)- I am good natured, courteous and very supportive towards my peers.

3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?
The first test helped me identify that I'm very tolerant, which means that I'll be able to handle situations well under pressure from peers, respect their opinions and stay true to my word at the same time. That'd help me a lot in my personal life. The test also taught me that I can be very involved in other people, their problems and can end up being held back becuase of the limitations they are experiencing, so I now know that I need to be careful when it comes.

My strengths identified from the second test make me more supportive, empathetic and a very accepting person.
This helps me be patient, more understanding of what a person might be going through and empathize on it. I'm able to spread a lot of positivity around me using this and that in turn satisfies me and makes me happy.

a) I am a natural leader, my vision is high and positive, and that helps me to always focus on how I, as a leader, could make things better and better organize things.
b) My open minded and agreeable nature would always assure a very positive and supportive approach towards both my fellow members and listeners. I'd treat them with nothing but respect and encourage everyone around me to work positively towards the community we've built here .

The MBIT defines me as a protagonist. And my strengths in Big 5 are also, aligned with the same. I want to be an educator, a psychologist and an entrepreneur. While the test shows I can be a good teacher and counsellor, it also gave me a perspective upon what I need to take care of if I ever wish to be an entrepreneur. The test says I am organized, reliable, and able to take perspective which can really help me grow as a listener and help me in a leadership role on 7cups too.

They can be helpful because if I get to be somewhat extroverted I won't have a lot of issues talking to people that I don't know. Therefore, I will be able to make connections fast. I am also very understanding and compassionate, therefore, I get to understand everybody's points of view in each situation.
