@GlenM

The test was real fun and gave put interesting results, here are my results :

1. My personality is Advocte INFJ-A

2. I learned that Advocates are rarest personalities of all and that they have a deep sense of idealism and integrity, but they aren’t idle dreamers – they take concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting impact.

Advocates stand up for what's right and fight for it

Advocates maybe reserved but they communicate in a way that is warm and sensitive and also that they value deep authentic relationships and make powerful impressions on people around them.

Advocates do not care about the cost of success they are so focussed on their ideas that they do not care much for themselves.

​​​​​​​3. Top 3 strenghts:

- Creative: Advocate personalities enjoy finding the perfect solution for the people they care about.

- Insightful: Advocates typically strive to move past appearances and get to the heart of things. This can give them an ability to understand people’s true motivations, feelings, and needs

- Passionate – Advocates can pursue their ideals with a single-mindedness that may catch others off guard.

Some people with Advocate personality were - Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Marie Kondo.

@cuteOrange213

Glad to know you learned a little something about yourself :0

Sticking up for someone is a brave act as well!

@cuteOrange213

I really loved the creativity, principled, and passionate traits of advocate personality. Those are some amazing traits to have

@GlenM

1) TYPE

PROTAGONIST

ENFJ-T

2) THINGS I LEARNT

I learnt that I usually find it hard to stay focused and determined towards my goals and get distracted easily. I also learnt that my willingness to help others might end up compromising my own well-being since I become too selfless for my own good sometimes. I would like to work on these two traits and improve them.

3) STRENGTHS

-> Charismatic

-> Altruistic

-> Natural Leader

@JoeyTribbbiani

Isn't it great to learn things about yourself? It really makes you realize some things.

Glad to see you learned something as well, you have some great strengths there!

How you doin?

@JoeyTribbbiani

Nice to meet another protagonist. You have great strengths to work with and admire.

Today I got INFJ Advocate. Learned that people of this type can find even constructive criticism deeply hurtful. Strengths include communicating, a desire for a better world, and a desire for deep friendships.

My personality type is INFJ-T

I learned many things about myself after taking this test! I learned that I am quite prone to burnouts, since I give a lot of myself in situations. I also learned that I want to have a sense of mission in my workplace, so I would be likely to do something quite practical and meaningful, which ties quite nicely with the fact that I want to be a doctor!

My strengths are:

Passionate - I care a lot about the things that are close to my heart, which is very true.

Insightful - I try to search for deeper meanings and connections and am able to understand people's feelings and needs!

Principled - I try to step up to the things I believe in and that I value!

Thanks for this really insightful activity!

@SympatheticStrawberrySmoothie So good traits to have.☺️

That I am very observant. I learned that there are many things that I don't realize I do.

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

Artistic, Charming, and Imaginative. I put my feelings within my singing and art, it often seems to connect with people (Artistic). I'm really laid back, and I seem to relate a lot to people which makes it easy to communicate (charming). My imagination is literally like the best part, I can picture how I want everything to go. My ideas are on a different note, and it helps me with a lot (imaginative).

Artistic – Adventurers are able to show their creativity in tangible ways and with stunning beauty. Whether writing a song, painting an emotion, or presenting a statistic in a graph, Adventurers have a way of visualizing things that resonates with their audience.

Charming – People with the Adventurer personality type are relaxed and warm, and their “live and let live” attitude naturally makes them likable and popular.

Imaginative – Being so aware of others’ emotions, Adventurer personalities use creativity and insight to craft bold ideas that speak to people’s hearts. While it’s hard to explain this quality on a resume, this vivid imagination and exploratory spirit help Adventurers in unexpected ways.

PROTAGONIST

ENFJ-A

I AM A BORN LEADER and I CARE.

What are your top 3 strengths or gifts according to this test?

~FEEL PEOPLE'- can know how someone is feeling by looking at their face,(so great)

@YourNeighbourhoodsuperhero

So you have taken the test befor and the results have been different each time. Thats amazing! have you been happy with the results after each test and is there any strengths you would like to see instead?

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

ENFP-T however, I take this particular test every week and keep a spreadsheet of the changes and it changes almost everytime.

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

"a true free spirit. They are often the life of the party, but unlike types in the Explorer Role group, Campaigners are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, the 7% of the population that they comprise can certainly be felt in any crowd."

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

Curious: want to go out and experience things, and don’t hesitate to step out of their comfort zone, imaginative and open-minded, seeing all things as part of a big, mysterious puzzle called life.s

Observant: believe that there are no irrelevant actions, that every shift in sentiment, every move and every idea is part of something bigger. To satisfy their curiosity, they try to notice all of these things, and to never miss a moment.

Energetic and Enthusiastic: As they observe, forming new connections and ideas, they won’t hold their tongues – they’re excited about their findings, and share them with anyone who’ll listen. This infectious enthusiasm has the dual benefit of giving Campaigners a chance to make more social connections, and of giving them a new source of information and experience, as they fit their new friends’ opinions into their existing ideas.

@BellatheHappyHelper

Those are some amazing traits to have Bella. I loved the "true free spirit" part

@GlenM

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being.”

My Personality Type: Advocate INFJ-A (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging)

65% Introverted
"Introverted individuals prefer solitary activities and get exhausted by social interaction. They tend to be quite sensitive to external stimulation (e.g. sound, sight or smell) in general."

78% Intuitive
"Intuitive individuals are very imaginative, open-minded and curious. They prefer novelty to stability and focus on hidden meanings and future possibilities"

88% Feeling
"Feeling individuals are sensitive and emotionally expressive. They are more empathic and less competitive than thinking types, and focus on social harmony and cooperation."

60% Judging
"Judging individuals are decisive, thorough and highly organized. They value clarity, predictability and closure, preferring structure and planning to spontaneity."

60% Assertive
"Assertive individuals are self-assured, even-tempered and resistant to stress. They refuse to worry too much and do not push themselves too hard when it comes to achieving goals"

What I learned about myself?:
I learned that the career path I have chosen i.e. Psychologist + Image Consultant is perfect for me.
The second thing I learned is that my perfectionist trait has both negative and positives. Positive is that it push me more than my limits which helps me do the best I can at any job but, the negative is that I try to "fix" things to make them perfect like my relationships, also, it can cause lack of satisfaction. I used to think that my high sense of imagination was harmful for me but, I realized it is a really important trait for my career path.

3 strengths/ gifts according to the test:
~ Principled ~
I hold really strong and deep beliefs which makes an inspiring communicator.

~ Creative ~
This is really a gift. I really try my hardest and enjoy finding the best perfect solution for people. My imagination gives me a strong sense of compassion.
I used to hate my imaginative ability because it was so strong I used to lose myself while imagining myself in other's shoes or reading books. I had to stop reading story books because it used to leave a large impact on me. Likewise, I used to feel depressed for days because of the pain and sadness I used to feel while imagining the scenes. But, I began to realize that it is a good ability to empathize, understand, and support people. I am grateful to have this ability.

~ Passionate ~
Because of my passionate nature I can pursue my ideal goals. My personality type does not settle for "good enough" and people can find my willingness to change the norms, unpleasant.
It is true, I do not like to settle for "good enough" and I always to look forward to breaking the "typical standards". People do not like it but, I love this trait of mine.
