I like the terminology 'plan of attack'. I will have to use it. I am similar in this regard. Being reliable is a great quality.

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

I've done this personality test before and found it scarily accurate! I thought my recent diagnosis of ADHD might have made it tricky to fit into one of these boxes but nope, it describes me really well! I didn't realise that one of my weaknesses is to isolate myself but it's true, I can find it hard to reach out sometimes and I love my alone time to recharge.

Empathetic - I find it easy to feel for other people and put myself in their shoes. I connect to others easily and can find empathy with a large variety of people and situations.

Generous - I am generous with my time, effort and money. To the point where I feel uncomfortable if I'm not giving something away or at least thinking about it!

Open-minded - I really like this qaulity in myself and others. The ability to change your mind, accept new information and see other points of view is wonderful. It means I can connect with others more easily and it satisifies my curiosity.

@gentleFox20

Being open minded is very important, especially with the work that we are doing in 7 cups. I thought I was open minded before but I have learned to increase this ability since becoming a listener. It has been a rewarding experience.

@gentleFox20

i think it would be a positive and a negative to be able to be too generous with money, but at the same time its also a giving attitude, so that shows me you are a very kind person

This test is pretty interesting !!

My personality type is Turbulent Campaigner

ENFP-T.

I am Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Prospecting and Turbulent. I embrace big ideas and actions that reflect their sense of hope and goodwill toward others.

Defender ISFJ

1. My personality type is INFJ.

2. Upon completing this personality test, I learned that I am not alone in my habit to continue pursuing what I believe is right. It seems to come naturally to me without compromising on flexibility or being open to new perspectives. I always felt quite alone in that decisiveness. But I am not!

3. My first strength is creativity; I see possibilities where others might not. Others might be amazing at coming up with solutions that perfectly fit certain parameters, solutions that fit within a box (and I envy them!), but that isn’t me. My talents lie in thinking outside of parameters and expanding them to fit new ideas. My second strength is being principled; I have a strong set of values and beliefs. I feel a great sense of conviction that may at times come across as stubbornness. But at the same time, to others it is inspiring. My third strength is being passionate—I could never live according to the status quo. I want to experience all there is to experience, the good and the bad. And if chasing my goals and ideals would mean I have to experience all the good and the bad, then so be it. I’m alive for that exact reason!

@Glue

Another INFJ! Even though I got INTJ as a result for myself this time, I completely get the decisiveness part! I am often called stubborn, but when people see me succeed because I pursue following the path that I chose, they suddenly find it inspirational. I think, as long as it doesn't hurt yourself, being consistent, principled and passionate is a big strength!

@Glue

i think its awesome to have a personality that pursues things and just doesnt give up easily!

@GlenM

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

Advocate (INFJ)

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

That a lot of my feelings and way of doing things have finally been expained in a way. According to the tests i now realize that its kinda normal how I do things and that they fit my personality.

• Creative – I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to express myself and to think outside the box.
• Insightful – To be able to understand other people’s true motivations, feelings, and needs.
• Principled – I tend to have strong beliefs and values, particularly when it comes to matters of ethics.
  

@Ninziesss

yay, an advocate! I got this result when I did the test some years ago. I'm really happy to hear that the test made you feel understood. You're perfect as you are! Also, I love that you're insightful - I think, that's a wonderful trait!

@Ninziesss

it's nice to know that someone is quite simulair to me hehe

My personality type is Adventurer, one of the main things I learned about myself is that I'm very introverted, and observant. My top 3 strengths are : 3. Feeling- vaules feelings more, and is sensitive. 2. Adventurer- eager to improve and try new things. 1. Observant- observing situations rather than reacting.

@sunnyLion4273 yes I see your comment, I've always been kinda keeping to myself and avoiding large crowds, that's probably where it comes from, it's nice meeting you too, take care and have a great day :)

Hey @sunnyLion4273

I found it very interesting to read your post - thank you! I think your strengths are a perfect fit for 7 Cups - it needs open-minded, idealistic and passionate leaders here! Also, I love that you're working on your boundaries, that's very important for all of us to keep in mind.

Thank you for this interesting lesson @GlenM!

INTJ-T: Architect

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

It's the fourth time that I made this test over the years - the first time I got INTJ, the second and third time INFJ (advocate) and now INTJ again. I think that shows pretty clearly that I'm switching between being thoughts driven and feelings driven, based on the situation and my state of mind.

I think being "dismissive of emotions" and "socially clueless" are indeed two of my bigger weaknesses, and I love that on 7 Cups I've been able to work on them a lot. Especially regarding my social abilities, I've already made huge steps since I've started being a listener. The rational way of listening, leading a group discussion etc. that's taught in the trainings has helped me to build trust in my own abilities and enabled me to let intuition play a part in it more and more as the experience grows.

Side note: I love that Friedrich Nietzsche is a INTJ as well.

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

Curious: I am open to new ideas and will try to understand them as deeply as possible. I love getting into contrarian points of views and explore them as far as I can. The only important thing for me is that the perspective that I'm investigating is based on facts, but since I am convinced that the perception of every human being of the world is fact (which can be changed though, that's what makes it interesting), I can curiously explore other people's opinions pretty non-judgementally.

Determined: If I decide that I want to achieve something, I'll do everything to do so. It can get harmful to myself when I'm too stubborn, but generally I see it as a strength of mine that I won't give up easily. For example, on 7 Cups, this showed off lately, when I managed to turn a troll chat into a meaningful listening session.

Informed: I love learning and if I don't know something or don't know enough, I'll be happy to dig into it. I actually finished all the trainings on 7 Cups before I started listening, just because I wanted to be perfectly prepared and have all the knowledge that I might need.

@audienta

@kenzolena

Thank you! Since you're an INFJ, we seem to have some things in common!

@audienta

Hiya Audienta! I am an INFJ-T. I did some research and it says "INTJs and INFJs are both Introverted, Intuitive, Judging personalities, meaning they like to be alone, think conceptually, and keep organized. Their major distinction is in the Thinking/Feeling trait; INTJs base decisions on logic, while INFJs tend to consider the emotions of themselves and others."

This shows we are both very introverted (So yes I am putting myself out there😂) It is lovely to meet you. It is nice to know that we both like our own space and to keep organized. It seems you focus more on logic (I wish I did sometimes 😁)

Thank you for sharing about yourself!

To @GlenM

It was nice to do the test!

My personality type is:

Advocate - INFJ-T

I am a bit introverted, intuitive, emotional and an empathic person who loves helping others and tries to do everything they can to help them and to be there for them. I get sad often and I get sensitive to people's behavior. But I still manage to handle the emotional ups and downs that I have in life..

The main things that I learned about myself is:

I have a unique combination of personality traits, my personality is quite versatile but in all those aspects I am always a caring person and want the best for others, and sometimes trying to help others is getting the best of me as I sometimes feel responsible for their actions or to help them as best as I can

My top three strengths/gifts according to the test:

Altruistic, creative, passionate and insightful.

@kenzolena

Hiya Kenzo! We are the same personality type! Glad to see someone who is as rare and unique as me 💜 I know we can be very introverted so I am glad to meet you :)

@GlenM

1)Personality type: Advocate (INFJ-T)

3) My top 3 strengths based on the test and my personality type include the ability to take care of other people and comfort people when they are struggling, the ability to notice patterns, opportunities, and designs where others may not, and the ability to listen to others and put their needs first. I think these are all essential skills for an effective listener as they show the person is able to care and be empathetic towards others while also noticing things that others may not such as a change in the way a person speaks.
