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

@GlenM

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

My personality type is ISPF-T.

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

I learned that I am more impartial than I though...nearly all my answers ended up being the middle one.

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

3 of the the top strengths of my personality type are: Sensitive to other-meaning more empathetic and sympathetic, Passionate-meaning caring a lot about anything of interest, and Artistic-meaning finds inspiration and relief in artistic areas.

@WhatchaGonnaDo1

Hi, does your being impartial correlate somehow with your 3 top strengths? (as they both seems to be a bit opposite)

And tbh, I was afraid that me being sensitive, passionate and artistic will make me drained, that it is my huge weakness, but you hinted me that it can also be a power, so I really thank you.

@windSpirit

Hi! Nice to meet you!

I sure like to think so...I feel that being slightly impartial is helpful in maintaing the level of trust, care, and understanding needed to be an effective member of society, though it is for sure not a requirement to participate in society.

I'm glad I could empower you! The world needs much more of that! I hope you have a wonderful day/week <3

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

INTP-T (Logician)

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

I'm logic, more thinking then feeling, less judging others, looking more on perspective. I learned that I'm a good analyst and I'm objective, that one who sees a big picture.

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

- Open-minded - I am open to various posibilities, even when there is the only veriant I'm looking for others

- Great analyst - tbh I'm a bit unsure about my analytical skills but when comes to structurize I am good

- Enthusiastic - I like to start things and hopefully to get them done, kinda self-inspiring

- Honest/straightforward - I list it too because it would make me a reliable friend and doing things with more direct approach

@windSpirit that's awesome :) seeing your profile I am curious to know what are the things you are interested in?

@wonderfulKermitKaTy becoming a leader, finding my own strengths, helping others, finding a role that best fits me, and generally becoming a better person, if that is what you wanted to know :)

@windSpirit that's so great. Those are the best characteristics of the best people. All the best and hope you are able to succeed in all of these.

My personality Trait is - Mediator INFP-t

These rare personality types tend to be quiet, open-minded, and imaginative, and they apply a caring and creative approach to everything they do.

My strength - Thoughtful - I ( these personalities) tend to care about other people's emotions and they change their actions if they think they might hurt someone with it.

Generous – people with this personality type want to share the good things in their lives

Open-Minded – We tend to give other people the benefit of the doubt. They aim to be tolerant of other people’s beliefs, lifestyles, and decisions.

It was cool knowing this but I feel this is 80% accurate as I try to have these strengths but Sometimes my emotions get the best of me and that happens very frequently in some cases/topics.

@wonderfulKermitKaTy

These are wonderful strengths!

@wonderfulKermitKaTy

INFP seems really wonderful. Thoughtfulness is one of the most wonderful traits.

@GlenM

I am an ISFP. I learned that I am rather artistic, and I also learned that I like to experiment with myself and my perspectives. My top three strengths are that: I'm charming, empathetic, and imaginative.

Charm allows me to gain people's trust. Empathy allows me to care about people and their stories. Imagination allows me to put myself in their shoes, and to come up with suggestions for them.

My personality type is : INFJ-T

I learned that one of my strengths is the ability to look for creative solutions

I also learned that I have the rarest personality type

My other strengths include: being passionate and altruistic

@competentParadise6344

Those are all great qualities, Para . And Yyay, Rarest personality type .♥️

@competentParadise6344

I really admire INFJ personality type. It really seems like a perfect role model personality type for me.

@GlenM

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

This is a little strange for me hehe, I've taken this test ,not too long ago, and got a different personality type (ISFJ -T Defender ) and just now when I took it again for the discussion , I got a different one , which is INFJ Advocate.

What's amusing to me is that, both these have a similar set of strengths and weaknesses and I lowkey relate to both, so maybe I am a mix of both of them ,which is quite fun to know. 😄

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

During both these times, I've learnt alot about my personality, and having to relate with both of these, some of the key things I realised are that, I am a naturally giving and altruistic person, I value people and believe in genuine relationships of all kinds, I have leadership instincts and can also be a great autonomous worker in anything I set my mind to, am curious and insightful and have a deep interest in learning about human behavior and interactions. I've also realised and agree that, I am prone to burn outs and exhaustion as I can find it hard to ask for help or take breaks , when needed and this is something I should work upon for sure . 😄

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

Insightful / Perceptive - I think being an insightful person is a strength as I am able to form and offer my perspective and also am able to look at things from different angles to be able to understand other perspectives and open to new ideas.

Altruism- I believe in being a giving person, that definitely is a strength as i am able to create some difference in someone else's life , making their day(s) better, and I don't think there's anything better than this .

Adaptability - I believe it's a great strength to be able to adapt in different situations and amongst different people , and not lose your ground and patience in case of adversities.

1. Advocate INFJ-A 2. I learned more about how I handle people’s emotions. 3. Mind | Nature | Tactics

@GlenM

What is your personality type? Include your 4 letters please

My personality type is Advocate INFJ

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

I have a deep sense of integrity and idealism and I take steps in order to realise my goals and make an impact on others. As a Advocate INFJ, I have many personality traits and it's the rarest personality type of all. As an Advocate, I stand up for things which are right. I think this is very true for me as well, since it's what I want and what I try to do in any situation.

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

1. Altruistic - This means I use my strengths for the greater good and I don't like succeeded over others expenses

2. Principled - This means that I have deeply convinced beliefs and it shows when I talk or write about certain subjects which I hold them beliefs to.

3. Passionate - I rarely settle with myself or my work being 'good enough'. I push to reaching my goals which I'm passionate about and try the hardest to be more than good enough.

@kieran000

I really like the advocate personality type. It sure is really special and has amazing traits.

As MBTI expert, I first got INTJ-T from the same website, but ENFP from another website. I understand the purpose of this exercise but MBTI actually follows the rules of Carl Jung’s MBTI cognitive functions, I won’t explain it here right now but I’ll answer the rest from what I’ve learnt from my true personality type. People have called me routine person though I’m filled with imagination, schizophrenia made me less social and disconnected from reality. Bring ENFP can be a bless thing, you can share your visual world from an authentic heart, you can change the world with your unique courage. To be continued...

I’ll answer the 3 strength based on the website from a Jungian perspective: Curious: Extroverted iNtuition which is ENFP’s dominant function opens new worlds, realities and perceptive. You see a mug of tea and billions of ideas occur including exiting ones, which can drive for more innovation and growth. Observant: As mentioned, Extrovert iNtuition opens new worlds, it’s something abstract and can derive conclusions from an external perceptive. Energetic and Enthusiastic: The dominant function of ENFP is of course extrovert, which means that it perceives the external world through a perceiving function. The ENFP might not be social but looking to the external world can bring lots of energy to themself.

Mediator INFP-T

73% Introverted

80% Intuitive

77% Feeling

64% Prospecting

60% Turbulent

Top 3 Strengths:

Thoughtful: Mediators tend to be very kindhearted. They are thoughtful and consider other's feelings and adjust their actions accordingly to avoid any harm.

Generous: Mediators value equality and want to ensure that every voice and perspective is heard. They do not like succeeding at someone else's expense.

Open-minded: Mediators tend to support other's right to live as they see fit - as long as no one is being hurt.

What I learned:

I have taken the test four times in the past, that time my personality type was Advocate INFJ-A. After exploring the Mediator INFP-T personality type I learned that despite being principled, bold, holding strong beliefs, standing up for right, etc. my personality traits bend towards more thoughtfulness and sensitivity. Most people see it as a weakness I see sensitivity as a gift, as sensitive people tend to interpret the best meaning of life and can understand people well which can be helpful in the career I wish to pursue.

I feel more than I think.

My strengths/gifts- Reliable – The one thing worst feeling is the idea of letting down a person or cause they believe in.

Natural Leaders – I often end up in leadership roles at the request of others

Tolerant – I am a team player, and I recognize that means listening to other peoples’ opinions.

The main things I have learnt about myself is that I am more extraverted than I thought and that I am a intuitive thinker meaning that I can understand and pinpoint emotions more easily and empathize easier than others.

This personality is like a reali true free spirit

I am Charming, independent, compassionate and energetic (true that)

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

Curious – When it comes to new ideas, Campaigners aren’t interested in brooding – they want to go out and experience things, and don’t hesitate to step out of their comfort zones to do so. Campaigners are imaginative and open-minded, seeing all things as part of a big, mysterious puzzle called life.

This is definitely true, I am not able to sit stable untill I get into to depth if something I hear about example can be when I heard that when I heard that there were many Apollo launches bwifre the moon landing successful one and it ultimately learn all about it starting from the ww1

Energetic and Enthusiastic – As they observe, forming new connections and ideas, Campaigners 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.

I really can't hold my tounge back when it comes to talking I can go on for hours straight about many topics including science and history, I really once talked for 2 hours in front of my sis without any gap or rest about something she wanted to learn, I can do it anytime provided I have a listener

Excellent Communicators – It’s a good thing that Campaigners have such strong people skills, or they’d never express these ideas. Campaigners enjoy both small talk and deep, meaningful conversations, which are just two sides of the same coin for them, and are adept at steering conversations towards their desired subjects in ways that feel completely natural and unforced

Yeah again I can coordinate with people really well and hence in the school events help earlier I was definitely chosen for them and even today I can't cordinate really well like if hosting a party or something

@GlenM

Defender

ISFJ-T

Defenders are true altruists, meeting kindness with kindness-in-excess and engaging the work and people they believe in with enthusiasm and generosity.

There’s hardly a better type to make up such a large proportion of the population, nearly 13%.

Combining the best of tradition and the desire to do good, Defenders are found in lines of work with a sense of history behind them, such as medicine, academics and charitable social work.

Supportive – Defenders are the universal helpers, sharing their knowledge, experience, time and energy with anyone who needs it, and all the more so with friends and family. People with this personality type strive for win-win situations, choosing empathy over judgment whenever possible.

Reliable and Patient – Rather than offering sporadic, excited rushes that leave things half finished, Defenders are meticulous and careful, taking a steady approach and bending with the needs of the situation just enough to accomplish their end goals. Defenders not only ensure that things are done to the highest standard, but often go well beyond what is required.

Imaginative and Observant – Defenders are very imaginative, and use this quality as an accessory to empathy, observing others’ emotional states and seeing things from their perspective. With their feet firmly planted on the ground, it is a very practical imagination, though they do find things quite fascinating and inspiring.

Enthusiastic – When the goal is right, Defenders take all this support, reliability and imagination and apply it to something they believe will make a difference in people’s lives – whether fighting poverty with a global initiative or simply making a customer’s day.

Loyal and Hard-Working – Given a little time, this enthusiasm grows into loyalty – Defender personalities often form an emotional attachment to the ideas and organizations they’ve dedicated themselves to. Anything short of meeting their obligations with good, hard work fails their own expectations.

Good Practical Skills – The best part is, Defenders have the practical sense to actually do something with all this altruism. If mundane, routine tasks are what need to be done, Defenders can see the beauty and harmony that they create, because they know that it helps them to care for their friends, family, and anyone else who needs it.

@AdylynS

You have a great personality and i really liked all your strengths and traits.

@shallowWater7547

Thank You!

I am sure you do to!

@GlenM

If anyone ever need support we all are here for you

I'm an INTJ-A i think

I found out that im 51% introverted 49% extroverted and its pretty accurate haha

some of my strenghts are being good at leader roles, being analytical and very pragmatic

@optimisticDay8079

Its nice to have such a balance between being introvert or extrovert

Your strength traits seem awesome way to go for you ^^

@optimisticDay8079

Hey wow I thought we're pretty close there, I'm an ISTJ! It's so nice having such a nice balance between being an introvert and extrovert, mine is like 80% introvert !

@optimisticDay8079

Really refreshing to hear about another INTJ-A! I also got those results and the same introvert/extrovert percentage

@optimisticDay8079

Actually reversed the percentage lol for me I'm 51% extrovert, 49% introvert. Such a close percentage so I misread them reading yours as the same as mine and got excited! Still pretty close

@optimisticDay8079 Those are good qualities. I also tend to be analytical which can be really helpful.

@optimisticDay8079

This sounds amazing!
