PL 101: Understanding Your Gifts and Strengths from the MBTI (Discussion 2)

1. ENFP-T

2. I agreed with much of what the personality type of the Campaigner revealed. I now understand why I feel like I can flow in many directions; I am an empath and can listen to one's ideas and understand with them just as I can listen to another's ideas whose are opposing, and still understand and relate to them. It causes conflict and confusion into my own ideals, but that's exactly why I love going to gatherings so I can learn more and expose myself more to ideas. I learned I'm compassionate because I look at the bigger picture and want to understand things deeply, so being a counselor or journalist would be ideal career paths. I learned that many Campaigners also struggle with going the straight forward logical path and it's instinctive to overthink since we are so emotional and go off intuition. Even more interesting and relatable is the Strategy and Role which I fall under: Social Engager and Diplomat. 95% of Social Engagers say that helping others boosts their self-confidence, and only 8% of Diplomats would like to spend most of their time alone. Now, I can see why I dislike being alone; it's because I feel valued when I find somewhere to belong in a community and also when I'm alone I have no one to help and no one to tell me how amazing I am; it is repetitive how often the site calls Campaigners charismatic.

3. Curious because I am imaginative and am willing to step out of my comfort zone to explore new ideas. Observant because I don't let one behavior change, when talking to someone, go unnoticed. Enthusiastic because when I'm excited about my findings, I'll share them and the one's who listen will benefit from a new source of information and experience, and I benefit from feeling heard.

1. What is your personality type?
Mine is Turbulent Defender (ISFJ-T)

2. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
Actually, there were many things I've learned from this personality test. It amazed me how these things precisely describe how I am and do. And if I had to choose which ones, well I'd try. Here it is:

"avoid risky or unpredictable situations" - I do not like unpredictable things, even a surprise party for me, that would make me very uncomfortable.

"don’t give up quickly when faced with difficult problems" - somehow difficult problem challenges me to find solutions. I can get easily curious by these kind of things.

"often the types who quietly clean up other people’s messes" - yes! I do like cleaning up my son's and/or husband's messy desks. I can't stop wondering how they could working in such a messy place.

3. What are your top 3 strengths or gifts according to this test? Please describe them.

Supportive - I do love sharing my knowledge, experience, time and energy to whom needed it. Especially, the ones who asked me. But, I could be hesitated if I didn't get sign(s) of "affirmation". And if that's the case, I would delay or even cancel what I wanted to share.

Reliable and Patient - When I have started a task, I usually couldn't stop doing it, not until it was completed. If I had to postpone it (in case of another urgent matters), I could manage but I might be having trouble sleeping :p

Imaginative and Observant - Observing people and things have become one of my favorite things. I don't really know how doing this can amuse me. But people often get surprised because I could mention little details about themselves or memories.

Hi everyone,

So here are my answers😊

1- My personality type is advocate INFJ-A

2-There wasn't a lot to learn about myself in that article because I was aware of all those traits in me but the amazing fact was, I never thought my feelings' and ideas are valid. This article helped me to validate myself. I used to be so uncomfortable around my friends and family ,because no one used to relate with me and now I know the reason behind it (I have the rarest personality). Thus feeling ultra special right now xD.

3 - According to this test my top 3 strengths are

A) Creative - I never had any formal training in writing poems or art and crafts or any other stuff apart from academics and dance, but still I used to beat every trained artist at my school when it came to creativity, even my parents gets shocked sometimes how creatively I solve some problems and in lcr too I sometime show my sparkles of creativity playing some out of the box games (do join sometime when you are free🤭🤭)

B) Insightful- well this quality of mine was a great shock to mysel as well initially. I had no clue how but I just get to see things beneath the surface which usually no one sees or seems to notice. I had to do a lot of research regarding this sphere of mine so at least I can tell myself that I am sane and all those research lead me to the conclusion that I am an empath thus can hear the unsaid, see the unseen and feel the unexpected. 💫

C) Altruistic- this defines me to a great extent. I really reject the idea of using people for personal gain or happiness and don't let others to do so as well. And I rarely say something to someone without analysing how would have I felt if someone had said such to me? Its not just humans but for nature too. If I see someone hurting an animal let it be some school guys throwing water on street dogs or my sister blocking the path of ants I do stop by to ask them the question "hey, how would you feel if I do the same to you?" And make them realise that they too have feelings like us so don't play with it. I am a strong believer of karma, thus never try to do things which I cant entertain later

Thanks for reading, have a nice time ahead☺

My personality type is INTJ-A.

I learned that the type of personality I have is on the rarer side and that the perfect description of how I perceive life: a chess game. For instance, I've always known that I am keener to think things out, however, the test was able to verbalize the importance I place on strategy. However, although things like knowledge may be high up on importance, social life is also something I keep in mind.

My top 3 strengths were being rational where every situation is taken as an opportunity to gain more knowledge. THen second was informed, where most conclusions are made from research and thorough analysis to provide self-assurance. While the third is independent, where conforming to society is not of utmost importance.

1. What is your personality type? Include your 4 letters please.
INFJ-T - Advocate

2. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
I can definitely relate to the ability to be burnt out easily, or becoming frustrated when that's usually not like me, because I'm so focused on others. Self care is still something I'm working towards being better at. I can also relate to needing a "mission" in my life or not feeling okay with just the ordinary, needing something bigger to work towards. Not in a fantastical "extraordinary" way, but more in a needing a purpose kind of way.

3. What are your top 3 strengths or gifts according to this test? Please describe them.
Creative - drawing on your imagination and strong sense of compassion to find solutions
Insightful - not judging things based on surface level, but being able to understand a person's inner motivations, feelings, and needs
Principled - having deeply held beliefs and strong convictions

@GlenM

1. What is your personality type? Include your 4 letters please Â

ENFJ-T (Protagonist)

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

It clarified that I am someone who will set tough goals and do everything possible to achieve them but it is unrealistic (overly idealistic). I may have the discipline to push myself far but I should set realistic goals.

I learnt that I do end up making other people's problems my own and do my best to solve them.

I dont like to dissappoint others.

Whatever I do or say affects others, so I should be wise when i act.

3. What are your top 3 strengths or gifts according to this test? Please describe them.

Reliable - I will do everything possible to make something work and I will push myself beyond my limits for a cause.

Charismatic - If things are going downhill, I know how to hit the right points by motivating my teammates. I can be optimistic and positive and so it brings a whole set of reasons why we should continue on our path despite the obstacles. I believe obstacles or challenges are opportunities in disguise. We are on one path but there are different ways on going about it.

Altruistic- We can work together to make things work. It takes one voice to connect a whole chain of other voices, and with more voices the stronger we are.
