@yourbuddy30

you learned a lot about yourself

good job

@yourbuddy30

im happy that you're so motivated to be a leader that's a really good thing

1. What is your personality type? CosmicMiracle is an INFJ-A: The Assertive Advocate :)

2. What were the main things you learned about yourself? I've always known I'm INFJ; I was profiled during my uni days and it's always been this personality type. More than half of what was written about INFJs is on point, especially about finding fulfilment in intangible things like helping people and doing good. At least I try.

There's this great and inspiring speech by Wentworth Miller years ago at a Human Rights event. The statement that struck a chord and pulled on my heartstrings at that time became a mantra for me to this day. "Let me be to someone what no one was for me."

I've always aimed to be someone for everyone I come across. I guess that's on point for an INFJ. :)

3. What are your top 3 strengths or gifts according to this test? Please describe them. Apparently, I'm creative, insightful, and principled.

Creative, I agree, because it is very important to me that I am given the space and opportunity to express myself. My thoughts and emotions are usually non-conforming and it is easier for me to see the bigger picture outside the box than the finer details. Give me data, give me technology, give me anything non-art and I can turn that into something creative and unusual lol. What can I say? I spread weirdness.

Insightful, I agree, because I'm a very sensual person and all my senses are present when I communicate and connect with people and situations. A conversation with me goes like this: I don't just hear the words you're saying, I also hear the ones you don't say. I read your gestures, aura, energies, breathing, posture, reactions to what I say, and facial expressions. I stare at you, inhale your presence, reach out and offer a human touch if I feel it's welcome, and listen with my mind and heart. I think it also helps that I'm a highly intuitive empath.

Principled, I agree, because my beliefs aren't just a by-product of how I was raised or what I learned in school. It's a culmination of life experiences, all of it went through a very personal and intense process of trial and error, and just an overall journey to self-discovery and self-identity. I am very open-minded about how other people think and feel and how they perceive things in general. I respect everyone by default. But my principles took decades to form and I stand by them regardless.

3. Some of my super-powers according to the test could be the following:

@GlenM

I love the questions honestly !!
1. My Personality type is Protagonist ENFJ-T

2. The main thing I learnt about myself is that I try to give myself time to feel secure, and fluctuating self esteem, and somtimes i have moodswings which requires time to maintain with the help of people whom i trust. I do admit im sensitive and emotional too.

3. My main strength of mine is that Im smart, good hearted, nature leader, creative, selfless, patient, outwardly enthusiastic, Imaginative, open minded, social harmony, tolerant, sportwoman and supportive.

@GlenM

@GlenM

What is your personality type?

This is actually a confusing question to answer because my personally has changed over the years. When I was a little girl, I typed as an INTP. As I grow a little bit older, I typed as an INTJ. So I learned MBTI's cognitive function to fully understand the 'behind the scene' of how this personality typing works, and one thing that I know for sure is I'm an avid user of Extraverted Thinking (Te) which is the main function of ENTJ and ESTJ.

Upon further research, I have concluded that when I might now be fully extroverted, but I have a lot of things in common with ENTJ, so that's how I'm going to type myself in this case.

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

1. I learned that my personality can help me what type of career or even lifestyle that is the most suitable for me;
2. I learned that despite categorising myself as an ENTJ, I might not appear extroverted because as it turned out ENTJs are known to be quite the ambivert as per this scale:
3. I learned that despite having "good" leadership skills (stereotypically speaking), I'm aware it still is a talent that needs to be exercised, hence my participation in this program.

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

1. Strategic thinking;
2. Efficient;
3. Organised.

2. That I am confident,bold and dreamy ,

3.I learnt that I’m energetic,self confident,strong willed

@GlenM I am an ENFJ (Protagonist). My top three strengths are - tolerance, reliability, and charisma. I think it is interesting how the different personality tests relate with each other. I took the Clifton Strengths test for school, and my top trait there said I was a Maximizer. So I think when you combine these two, it shows I'm adaptable and approach most things with a strengths based approach to figure out what the best solution is.
