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

@Fristo

Really like how you've worded that last line :)

Just read your answer, too. Bringing delight to others.. something we really need in this world, right now.

@FawkesCare12

I can relate to the sensitivity part! It's so important to check up with yourself and remember it's hard to please everyone and we should focus on the overall picture of helping people! :)

@Brinaa101

Yes!! It's so easy to forget that, sometimes.

Hope you have an amazing day ahead :)

@GlenM

My personality type is ENFJ-T. The main things I learned about myself is that it’s normal that I have a fluctuating self-esteem. I also learned that I need to be very careful when it comes to my confidence since it can be lowered by the littlest things. Moreover, I learned I can influence new people I meet very well, both ways, so I need to be careful to bring happiness instead of sadness. On a side note, the last time I took this test, it gave me a different personality, but I feel this one matches me most, and time had passed from when I last took this test. My loving soulmate had made me aware of the 16 personalities test that I had completely forgotten about. When it comes to the last time I took the test, before this recent time, the last personality it gave me, MORE THAN ONCE, was ISFP-T, which was back in January 2021. And if you ask me, I’d say that the newest result matches me most. I made an account, and the good news is that even without Premium, you can still can more knowledge using that site.

According to the personality test, my top 3 strengths or gifts are: Tolerant, Reliable, and Charismatic, assuming that the other 2 strengths are part of the top 5.

For tolerant, based on what I read, it says that I am a good sport and that I won’t really be troublesome when someone disagrees with me.

For reliable, based on what I read, it says that I am someone to count on.

For charismatic, again based on what I read, it says that I pick up well on the behavior of an audience, in such a way that I can still express my own self while giving an audience what they need, and that I am a good imitator.

@IcicleSnown Hi Icicle! Similarly to you, I have previously taken the 16personalities test and got different results than I did today. I think this just goes to show how much our personalities can develop and grow over time! I have been taking the test every 7 - 10 months since 2017 and it is great to see how my personality has changed since then, and reading about all the different personality types is much fun.

@IcicleSnown

Hi there. I find your point about fluctuating self-esteem very interesting! Of course it is normal to have that fluctuation, and now you're in a place where you can accept it within yourself and use this knowledge to grow.

@GlenM

My personality type is: INFJ-T (Advocate)

The main things i got to know about myself that I'm of sensitive nature and Sometimes i can be overly sensitive. I find it hard to trust people and to open up. I hate chaotic environment and conflicts as i feel distressed and i always try to stop them. I would like to change myself and these traits to be a better person.

My top three strengths are:-

Altruism - I have always felt troubled by injustice and have taken stand for people facing unfairness and abuse.

My feeling nature - I can feel not only my emotions deeply but also those of other people and I'm quite sensitive to their pain and needs

Creativity - I think I'm a creative person and know how to fix problems.

@shallowWater7547

Hi Water!

I'm a fellow Advocate (INFJ-T) too. My personal take on why we are overly sensitive is because we are always thinking about others, and if our efforts go unappreciated, it can be hurtful. For the same reason, I think it’s hard for us to open up since there’s a large possibility that the response we receive, isn’t what we hoped for. These are just my thoughts though and can be different for each of us :)

I do think we have a lot of great strengths though and I’m happy to meet another INFJ!

@DigitalKnight
I loved to see everything that you've learned about yourself from this test Knightt, I for one always enjoy being in a group chat with you
Kudos to all of your qualities and I admire each one of them!

1. What is your personality type?
My personality type is Turbulent Entertainer (ESFP-T)

2. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
Just from reading the Introduction of the Entertainer personality type I realised how much of a people-person I am! Entertainers love spending time with people and they get caught up in the excitement of the moment, sharing it with others as they do. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic I have spent a lot less time with other people due to government restrictions/guidelines, social distancing, self-isolation, etc., but restrictions in the UK have begun to ease recently, and I have been able to spend time with people I enjoy the company of, and I feel like this has really brought a lot more positivity into my life and given me a lot more energy than when the restrictions were more strict.

3. What are your top 3 strengths or gifts according to this test? Please describe them
One strength is excellent people skills. Entertainers are very talkative people and rarely run out of things to say in a conversation, which sounds just like me! Another strength is being original, commonly ignore traditions and instead experimenting with new styles and finding new ways to stick out in a crowd. Entertainers are also observant, meaning they focus on what is happening at a given moment, and notice real things and small changes.

@IcedEthan

Hello Ethan! I see that you are an ESFP-T, nice to meet one, one of my closest friends is one too! I am glad the restrictions at your place have started easing up a little. I am glad to hear this has brought positivity to your life. That makes me happy to hear!

Your strengths all seem super awesome! I am observant too so I am glad one of our strengths coincides perfectly. Nice to see you here!

You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have, more life.

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

INFP-T

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

I learned that I am very empathetic and care aout others so much. I also learned that I am poetic and kind hearted. I feel that this describes me so much.

3. What are your top 3 strengths or gifts according to this test? Please describe them.
Empathetic-I care so much about people and I uderstand them more than others do, even if I have never walked in their shoes.

Generous-I uplift people a lot and give them praise

Open-minded-I don't judge anyone, ever.

@gentleLove04

INFPs are really sweet, I see them as total cinnamon rolls, smh. INFPs are very empathetic indeed. I am poetic too! I really find ENFPs and INFPs to be a lot similar to each other. Your strengths make you one very dependable listener!

It is lovely seeing you here!

You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have, more life.

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

My personality type is a turbulent defender (ISFJ-T).

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

I found out my values and personality can be categorized by a type and surprisingly accurate.

- I am a perfectionist and can be relied upon to get things done on time.

- I tend to underplay my accomplishments.

- I am kind and am often taken advantage of by others if I don’t stand up for myself.

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

My top 3 strengths according to this test are:

Supportive - Help others whenever possible to create a win-win situation. Tendency to choose empathy over judgement.

Reliable and patient - Meticulous and careful with my work to ensure accomplishment of the end goal.

Loyal and hard-working - Emotional attachment will be formed with the work they dedicate themselves to. Anything less than good and hard-work falls short of their own expectations.

@richuyulin

Hi lin! I am so thrilled to know that we are starting this program on the same date! I see that you're an ISFP, weirdly I have gotten that result too when I took the test but I have always been an ENFP. I hope the things that you learned about yourself really help you to make some good decisions and become much better! Your strengths sound so awesome - I believe these strengths make you a really great listener and a very good leader here in the community! It's nice seeing you!

You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have, more life.

lol, I am sorry, I meant ISFJ*

You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have, more life.

Hi lueur, glad we're starting the program on the same date as well. My results used to be different as well, though I don't remember what it was. It's interesting to see how our personalities change with time.

@GlenM

1. My personality type is-: INFJ-T( Advocate)

2. The main things I learned are -: I have Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging personality traits. I tend to approach my life with deep thoughtfulness and imaginations. This personality type may feel called to use their strengths – including creativity, imagination, and sensitivity – to uplift others and spread compassion. I get to know that this type of personality always wanted to help people. They're reserved but communicate in sensitive and warm way. 😊

3. 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.

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.

@LovetoGod

I have a lot of friends who are an INFJ, good to see you here! You seem like a very thoughtful person who also likes to brood and really put in efforts with what you do. INFJs are super warm and welcoming! My friends are one of the best listeners out there too!

Your strengths sound awesome and I believe they will help you tremendously with the roles you take up for this program! Best Wishes, Love, it is lovely seeing you here!

You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have, more life.

@lueurspace

Thank you so much❤. And glad to know that there are lots of people with this personality and moreover they are your friends too😃

And your personality is also amazing and cool. You seems an energetic person who loves to learn and moreover you are an observant I really like this qualities. And wish you so much good luck for program too. I know you will do great 😃❤❤

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

My personality type is Campaigner ENFP-T, I have taken the test long back but for the sake of it, I took it again and it came out to be the same.

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

The things that stuck with me the most are knowing that I am a true free spirit, I may appear like an extrovert to people but at a party, rather than dancing and stuff, I think I’d be more interested to also get to know people, and just have a chat. I think I often tend to live in my head, map out how every interaction will work out. This can put me in a position where I get frustrated or feel disappointed if things don’t go the way I planned. There is this one particular line that resonates with me, “Campaigners are very emotional and sensitive, and when they step on someone’s toes, they both feel it.”

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

1. Curious - I really like to know something. I am not the one who would like to think of something alone or by myself if it involves other people. I like to be on the go and involve as much input from others as I can while keeping an open mind to absorb all the information.

2. Observant - I am very observant of my surroundings unless I am just spacing out. I tend to focus on patterns and how something is changing/staying the same.

3. Energetic & Enthusiastic - I am full of energy and I am also very very excited to share anything with anyone who would listen (with keeping certain boundaries and professionalism, of course). I am very open to hear what other people think of what I share and in that way, my previous knowledge of the topic just grows even more!

You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have, more life.
