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

You've really amazing personality and strength! All the best with the journey ❤

@GlenM

Hey!

My personality type is ENFP-T

My personality traits are Extraverted, Intutive, Prospecting, Turbulent

My role is that of a diplomat and my strategy is social engagement.

I learnt a lot from this. I never knew that I'll know about my personality in the form of a test. This was super interesting. I had never asked these questions to myself, hence I got to know about myself too. The questions made me think a lot, and that's a very good thing in itself.

I'm a protagnonist: ENFJ-A

I am 82% extraverted, 58% intuitive, 60% feeling, 71% juudging, 51% assertive.

@loveagape That's so cool! Do you think that type suits you?

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

I am a turbulent mediator, or INFP-T

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

I learned that I strive to create peace and end conflict, something I do see in myself looking back, but never realized.

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

Empathy - can feel others emotions, thoughtful and kind as to not hurt others.

Generous - like to share their good fortune and uplift others

Creative - drawn to creative activities

@Lww873
Hello classmate!
Being both emphatic and generous are great traits to have XP that's something I still gotta improve on personally.
They really help with being a good active Listener

Hello Glenn,

I hope you alongwith other lovely people reading this post, are doing great. I must say it was a great exercise to learn few things about myself which I did not know were there and it felt great to learn about them. So, the answers to your questions are:

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

INTP-A : Logician

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

I learned that I happen to be good at analysing things, curious and also I tend to follow logic in many ways. I think myself as someone who can follow logic and emotion in a healthy way so, it was something new to learn. I also tend to keep my friend circles small (also true) because I tend to be more reserved and aloof in some ways. There are some weaknesses which I learned about myself and they are true like me being introvert in a way and having a shy personality.

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

a) Being curious : I am naturally a curious person thats why Sci Fiction attracts me alot really. Everything about the world and universe itself makes me curious. I spend alot of time daydreaming about random stuff happening all around us. I also like to think about how and why people do things in a certain way.

b) Open Minded : I am really open minded person. I was not before but somehow going through medical school changed me in ways without knowing. I have become a far less judgemental of other people. This has helped me to become more patient and calmer in a way. I do voice my opinions but not in setting where they are not meant to be shared which I believe helped me alot growing as a person.

c) Analytical : I do get analytical of things, emotions and thoughts. I always found it helpful in building trustworthy relationships and happen to be surrounded by good people who bring positivity.

Thank you for reading.

Cheers!

Hello classmate! We're like one letter different from each other! INTP and ISTP
I sometimes get INTP as well but I always come back to ISTP whenever I take the MBTI personality test.
Curiosity is a pretty dominant trait of mine too

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

ISTP-A (Virtuoso)

2. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
I've actually taken this test a couple of times before last year and found that I could really relate to a lot of the traits of the Virtuoso personality type. The main things I've learnt about myself would be that I am individualistic, that I have a very 'do unto others' attitude and am assertive.

3. What are your top 3 strengths or gifts according to this test? Please describe them.
Optimistic & Energetic
I can be pretty approachable with my silliness and childishness! I rarely get stressed out and usually go with the flow.

Creative & Practical
I enjoy hands-on activities i.e. being able to create or just take something apart to figure out how it works. I have to say however that instead of taking apart inanimate objects, I like to observe, learn and understand how people work or differentiate from each other when it comes to their emotions, personalities, life experiences and choices.

Spontaneous & Rational
I can also adapt myself depending on most situations.

Hello, I am starting a fresh here, what is ISTP. I don't know how to start! Please help

@GlenM

Well it's nearly close to what i would have guessed, INFP -T , I am Introverted, Shy, mind my business, I loved this test, the questions were like straight to soul.

1. My personality type is ENFJ - T (Protagonist) 2. Main things that I learned about myself is I need to learn how to be more confident and not let me emotions actually get the best of me sometimes. 3. Top 3 strengths/gifts according to this test would be: a) Natural leaders b) Tolerant c) Reliable

@GlenM

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

ISFJ/ISFP

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

That I am very detailed

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

Hardworking

perseverance

honest

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

ENFJ-T

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

I've changed over some weeks.

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

tolerant, reliable, charismatic, altruistic, and natural leaders.

@loveagape I love that you're reliable. It's a great quality in an active listener.

I discovered I am still an INTJ-A. The test says I am eighty four percent introverted and sixteen percent extroverted. This is definitely accurate because most of my friends are internet friends. I learned I am mostly intuitive, thinking, and assertive.

@MarleyR I am a very logical person and good with data and helping others. I also have a photographic memory so I memorized all the USA presidents when I was eight.

1. What is your personality type?

My personality type is ENFP - T, abbreviation of Extroverted,Intuition,Feeling and Perception . Also known as a Turbulent campaigner,

2. What were the main things you learnt about yourself

I personally believe that I just read a detailed summary of my characteristics and traits. Each trait mentioned here, my strengths and weaknesses and the way I tend to deal with relationships are actually reflections of my true self and traits that I have been following for quite some time now. My career pathways mentioned in the test were jobs that had to deal with a lot of communication like being a social worker, actor, counsellor. This is appropriate as I am leaning towards psychology as a career option in the near future.

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

According to this test it's being curious, observant and energetic/enthusiastic. I would consider myself to be quite curious and I am open to trying a lot of new things and making way for new and bold changes in my life. Curiosity has taught me valuable lessons and important pointers which I will take forward with me as I am progressing in life. Observant in an important trait that I identify myself with a lot, this has taught me to be cautious of my surroundings and to take note of even the smallest thing around me. Being energetic and enthusiastic allows me to share my immediate findings and happenings to the people around me and this has allowed me to grow my social circle.

@GlenM

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

INFJ

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

(i) I am very much introverted

(ii) I hold honesty, trust and freedom very high

(iii) I am intuitive

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

(i) Highly empathetic: I can absorb the emotions of everyone around me. The more closer that person is to me, the stronger I get the feelings. It is sometimes overwhelming, but it is a unique thing.

(ii) Integrity: I don't act different when someone is watching or not watching. I admit my mistakes frankly and don't hide them.

(iii) Intuition: I can sense when someone close to me is missing me or when something is not going to be right. I trust my gut feelings.

@GlenM

1. What is your personality type?

My personality type according to the given website is ENFP-A

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

I realised that I am fiercely independent. I have always known that about myself but this test did give it in black and white. I also have a habit to working dangerously close to an on-coming deadline, I want to work on that and make myself create scehdules and follow them. On the bright side, I am flexible and adaptable to change which I believe is helpful in stressful situations.

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

According to the test my strengths are-

Curious - I am always ready to venture out and try something new. I am fine with getting out of my comfort zone and explore new things.Curiousity is the essence of human existence to me.

Observant - I think observation is a great teacher for anything in life. To pay attention on what is happeing around you makes you much more self assured and the chances of making a mistake are minimised.

Good Communicators - All these ideas in head become meaningless if not expressed correctly to the right people. Being good with communication allows me send a clear message and flexibility allows me to be comfortable with both small talk and deep, meaningful conversations.

@FeatherIce25

It is such an amazing trait to be curious.

Hi @FeatherIce25! It seems like our personality types are almost complete opposite. I am a Turbulent Defender, ISFJ-T. The only common trait we share is feeling over thinking. It was interesting to read your strengths and see how they're similar yet different from mine.

@FeatherIce25

Having curiosity, being observant and having good communication are excellent strengths to have.

@FeatherIce25 Paying attention to what is happening, and being flexible to adapt to the changing needs, sound two very good qualities!

@FeatherIce25 Wow! What cool results. What did you think of this? Did you feel it was fairly accurate? I relate to your comment about working dangerously close to an on-coming deadline. That is 100% me. I always hit it, finish it on time though! Every time!

@FeatherIce25

Hello! I am Andy and I really enjoyed reading your post. I think it is really nice being independent and a lot wish they could have that. I hope you are having a wonderful time doing this course! :)

Advocate
INFJ-T

I am an interovert, intuitive, emotional and emphatic person who loves helping others, gets sad often and sensitive to peoples behaviour. But still manages to handle the emotional ups and downs.

Main things I learned about myself is:
I have a very unique combination of personality traits which is good because it makes me versatile.

My top three strengths/gifts according to the test:

Imagination, sensitivity and creativity

@positiveTurtles

heyyy! I'm INFJ-T too and some of my traits are like you

@positiveTurtles

I'm glad to see that you like to help others

@positiveTurtles

Hey! I’m an introvert as well and emphatic too! I think it’s really important to balance emotions so it’s really good you are able to handle the emotional ups and downs! :)

1. What is your personality type? Include your 4 letters, please.
My personality type is INFJ-A.

2. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
I am more introverted and intuitive which means I prefer solitary activities and get exhausted by social interaction and tend to be quite sensitive to external stimulation (e.g. sound, sight, or smell) in general. I am imaginative, open-minded, and curious. I prefer novelty over stability and focus on hidden meanings and future possibilities. My nature is mostly feeling-based and tactics are judging. I am sensitive and emotionally expressive. I am more empathic and less competitive than Thinking types and focus on social harmony and cooperation. I am decisive, thorough, and highly organized. I value clarity, predictability, and closure, preferring structure and planning to spontaneity. My identity is Assertive which means I am self-assured, even-tempered, and resistant to stress. I refuse to worry too much and do not push myself too hard when it comes to achieving goals.

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

1. I am soft-spoken and kind-hearted, but do not mistake them for pushovers! I hold strong values and opinions and advocate for what I believe in. I am decisive and am able to see the big picture when presented with a complex situation. I am goal-oriented, genuine, responsible, and caring. I firmly believe in other people, almost to a fault, and am very altruistic. I primarily focus on what’s going on around them and am especially concerned with the well-being of others. I am always willing to help others when needed and enjoy doing so. I form deep relationships with those close to them.

2. I am insightful, future-oriented, and conscientious. I have a vision for the future and have a decisive plan about the best means of meeting these goals. I make decisions by going with my gut. My values play a large role in driving your decision-making processes, and I always try to act in accordance with their values.

3. My secondary focus is internal, where I make judgments based primarily on my intuition. I operate largely internally and am able to see the “big picture” very easily. I am able to understand things through their strong sense of intuition, and often can’t pinpoint specific reasons. Regarding the outer world, I am highly organized and am able to handle several projects simultaneously. I am excellent at setting priorities and developing plans.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

@SuryanshSingh Hi Surya! Our personality types are almost polar opposite! I am a Turbulent Entertainer, ESFP-T. The only common trait we share is Feeling over Thinking. It was nice to read about your strengths as an INFJ-A and to see how similar and different we are.

@SuryanshSingh Sounds good that you focus on social harmony and cooperation and are organised with work!

@SuryanshSingh

Hey! I’m soft-spoken and kind-hearted as well! I think it’s really important to be decisive and be future-oriented so you can help make the world a better place! It’s an underrated skill to have but so crucial to success! :)

Hello to all the personalities :)

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

INFJ-T (Advocate)

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

In addition to the strengths given below, the test showed something I’ve always wanted to improve on. That is being too sensitive and not understanding that it is not possible to always please everyone.

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

Insightful – being able to understand how someone is truly feeling and what they need.

Principled- having deep beliefs and not wavering in them. However, I’ve found that this can be a weakness too.

Altruistic- aiming to work towards the greater good and thinking about how our actions affect others.

Hiii @FawkesCare12

I'm INFJ-T too

It's nice to see another person with same personality.

@shallowWater7547

Hello fellow INFJ. Glad to meet you, too

@FawkesCare12

It's great to see people working for the greater good. Thank you.

@peacefulIris56

Likewise. Good to meet someone trying to make a difference in the world :)

@FawkesCare12 It sounds smart to work towards the greater good while thinking about how our actions affect others. Inspires harmony in one's own heart and in the world!
