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

Hi @optimisticDay8079
I always find the balance of Introvert and Extrovert keenly interesting! When people fall in the middle (ambiverts woot woot) it's always interesting to think that we decide in the moment how we need to recharge (alone or with people) and how that is never a decisive and obvious choice.

@GlenM

ENTP-T: )

I learned that apparently I'm some sort of enterpeneur? Tha'ts weird :D

My three strenghts according to the site are

Bold – People with the Entrepreneur personality type are full of life and energy. There is no greater joy for Entrepreneurs than pushing boundaries and discovering and using new things and ideas.

Rational and Practical – Entrepreneurs love knowledge and philosophy, but not for their own sake. What’s fun for Entrepreneur personalities is finding ideas that are actionable and drilling into the details so they can put them to use. If a discussion is completely arbitrary, there are better uses for Entrepreneurs’ time.

Original – Combining their boldness and practicality, Entrepreneurs love to experiment with new ideas and solutions. They put things together in ways no one else would think to.

That's it : )

@thisisirene

I love your personality, an entrepreneur that's so cool

@thisisirene

I got INTP-A and surprisingly those are kinda same traits like Original , Rational and Practical. I was a logician by the way. So, its kinda interesting that two personalities have similar traits yet they are different.

@GlenM

1. INTP
2. One thing I learned about myself is about my career pathways. I was surprised to read that people with MBTI of INTP are suitable for studying law or doing laboratory research in their career because those two areas of study were exactly the subjects I was considering studying in the future. I learned that what I chose for my career path is well-selected!
3. The top 3 strengths which I felt most connected to are the 'imaginative and original', 'honest and straightforward' and 'analysts and abstract thinkers'. The first strength, 'imaginative and original' describes the tendency of people with INTP to make "remarkable innovations" that are purely based on their imagination and thoughts. Although these innovations may not eventually come to light, they are beneficial approaches. Being 'honest and straightforward' is the characteristic of INTP which I agree most with as I struggle to say things indirectly to others as I believe that being direct is the quickest and strongest way to convey a particular idea. Due to my honest personality, I focus on being polite whenever I am being honest. The third strength, being analytical and thinking abstractly, is another personality that I think represents me very well because I love exploring philosophical ideas and analyzing texts in language classes. I love analyzing the 'hidden meanings' of texts and exploring the truth about the world we live in.

@UnicornsCottonCandy INTP sounds really cool! I'm INFP-T and it's so exciting to hear about other's personalities! I'm glad you got to learn a lot about yourself! Besides, that I particularly like your strength of being honest and straightforward! it sounds like a really beneficial strength

@cuteeeezombieeee Omg! I have the same personality as you! That's super cool!

@UnicornsCottonCandy

I'm an INTP too! It's great to see another person with the same personality as me! I love how we analysts and abstract thinkers. Take care

@UnicornsCottonCandy

Its great that the test helped you with your career path

@GlenM

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

Enfp-T

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

I love reading the part about being careful if i might misread people'emotions. My strength has been my intuition, but as the personality warns, it can sometimes be misleading if i rely on intuition alone.

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

- ability to empathise strongly with others

- passionate and creative

-independence

@Bu123

Hello! I love how one of your strength is ability to empathise strongly with others. I think this is a very important strength to have! Have a good day

Aw thanks for passing by 😘 have a lovely day too

@Bu123

Wow I think the ability to empathize and be caring is great for being a listener!

@kindLemonade

Ability to empathize is a great charachteristic

@kindLemonade

I am an ENFP - T too, we are make 7% of the population and we can consider ourselves quite rare hahah.

Its lovely to hear you sharing your strengths and traits that are important to you

Have a great day ahead

@giggleZebra2708

hello ENFP fellow

1) Personality Type: INFF-T (The Mediator)

2) Main things you learned about yourself: I finally learnt to identify the feelings which I experience of not fitting in anywhere. Like, that constant feeling of being misunderstood or not being like others. It’s good in a way. I think I have to embrace the fact that I’m unique. The personality test also identified me as having a caring personality, which is very true. I tend to always place others’ needs before my own. It was fun to find out that people with my personality type are always mistaken as being quiet and uninteresting! In reality, we might be quiet on the inside, but we can be really interesting and excited if you get to know us personally!

3) Top 3 Strengths:

Thoughtful – Caring a lot about others’ feelings and trying our best not to hurt them, even unintentionally..Our kindness benefits everyone around us.

Generous –We don’t enjoy the fruit of success by hurting someone else. We want to share our joy and achievements with others. We highly value the importance of equality.

Open-Minded – We are accepting of everyone else’s beliefs and opinions. We like to let people live as they want, but we always want to protect them from being hurt.

Taking the test was a fulfilling experience!

*INFP ..oof, that was a bad typo

@cuteeeezombieeee

@cuteeeezombieeee (Sorry for the seperate tag above, accidental :P)

Hey! Thanks for the comment on my post. It's super awesome to meet another INFP-T, it seems to be a personality type that is harder to come across. I relate so much to your comments about not feeling like you fit in because you feel different to others.

I think it's really cool that you've learnt to embrace the fact that you are unique, and should see it as a strength rather than a weakness - After all, the most valuable things are typically the hardest to find

Take care :)

@JordanPeraltaa I'm INFP as well! Cool to meet you guys.

@cuteeeezombieeee

Way to go!

@GlenM

@jinlatte

Interesting! Fellow INTP and I have not found many of those.

@jinlatte In school I was known as the corrector so mistakes definitely don't pass me by either.

Hi @jinlatte! I love how innovative and analytical you are!

@jinlatte Those are very helpful and advantageous characteristics that you have.

@GlenM

Hi, I think this is my 5th or 6th time to take the test to get the result of ENFP-T

I took the test first time with Feeling 90+% now it got 83%. I think it is a very good progress since i was trying to balance things. I agree with much explained for a campaigner there. I struggled to get to know me and to learn new ways to handle my emotions and happy with this little progress

Some strength mentioned were: Observant, Curious, Excellent communicator and energetic.

With energetic that has ups and downs, was a nice thing to dive in this test once again. Have a lovely day all :D

@Ahmed

Hey seems like your personality have been pretty consistent through the test of time! It's great that you're working to balance things, I'm also on the same track with my introvert-extrovert!

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

My personality is ISTJ.

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

I learned that I don't rely on my emotions much to make decisions but rather the facts. I also like autonomy and self-sufficiency.

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

My top strengths are being honest, strong-willed, responsiblem, calm, and practical.

@herealways27
Hey there! I'm an ISTP!
We differ in the last letter (P and J) which is interesting.
I very much like autonomy as well and make (most) decisions logically like you

@GlenM

Architect

INTJ-A

51% extrovert, 49% introvert

79% intuitive, 21% observant

54% thinking, 46% feeling

those were the things I learned about myself that I felt were most significant.

The gifts of my personality or strengths include: versitality, curiosity, very high determination, independence, and the last two informed meaning very devoted to rational, evidence-based options which is consistence with my field in psychology. The last one was especially accurate for me, rational because I do see everything as a way to expand my thought processes and mind and there are life lessons all around me.

@GlenM I had taken this test a few days ago so that is going to help I honestly love this thing but anyways getting to the main topic

My personality type is:

Advocate

INFJ-T

My strengths:

Creative – Advocate personalities enjoy finding the perfect solution for the people they care about. To do this, they draw on their vivid imagination and their strong sense of compassion. This can make them excellent counselors and advisors.

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

Principled – People with the Advocate personality type tend to have deeply held beliefs, and their conviction often shines through when they speak or write about subjects that matter to them. Advocates can be compelling and inspiring communicators, with their idealism persuading even the hardest of skeptics.

Passionate – Advocates can pursue their ideals with a single-mindedness that may catch others off guard. These personalities rarely settle for “good enough,” and their willingness to disrupt the status quo may not please everyone. That said, Advocates’ passion for their chosen cause is a key aspect of their personality.

Altruistic – Advocates generally aim to use their strengths for the greater good – they rarely enjoy succeeding at other people’s expense. They tend to think about how their actions affect others, and their goal is to behave in a way that will help the people around them and make the world a better place.

My weakness:

Sensitive to Criticism – When someone challenges their principles or values, Advocates may react strongly. People with this personality type can become defensive in the face of criticism and conflict, particularly when it comes to issues that are near to their hearts.

Reluctant to Open Up – Advocates value honesty, but they’re also private. They may find it difficult to open up and be vulnerable about their struggles. This might also be because they think they need to solve their problems on their own or don’t want to burden other people with their issues. When Advocates don’t ask for help, they may inadvertently hold themselves back or create distance in their relationships.

Perfectionistic – The Advocate personality type is all but defined by idealism. While this is a wonderful quality in many ways, an ideal situation is not always possible. Advocates might find it difficult to appreciate their jobs, living situations, or relationships if they’re continually fixating on imperfections and wondering whether they should be looking for something better.

Avoiding the Ordinary – Advocate personalities tend to be motivated by a sense of having a greater purpose in life. They might consider it tedious or unnecessary to break their big visions into small, manageable steps. But they may be setting themselves up for frustration if they don’t turn their dreams into everyday routines and to-do lists. Without these specifics, their goals may never materialize.

Prone to Burnout – Advocates’ perfectionism and reserve may leave them with few options for letting off steam. People with this personality type can exhaust themselves if they don’t find a way to balance their drive to help others with necessary self-care and rest.

I don't know who is going to read such a big post but whoever does thanks <3 <3
