✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

The result is just what I expected about myself. However, I feel like I may have a high score in conscientiousness because I tend to keep my tasks organised for now.

✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

Open Mindedness: You typically don't seek out new experiences

Conscientiousness: you probably have a messy desk

Extraversion: you probably enjoy spending quiet time alone

Agreeableness: you are neither extremely forgiving nor irritable

Negative Emotionality: You tend to become anxious or afraid

i mostly see my open minded state as a strength, it helps me think about see other perspectives and opinions and think and choose better options : )

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?
I have understood better a lot of things about myself including that i tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
O
n the other hand I can be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous;
However, sometimes I'm nervous, insecure, worrying and are somewhat conventional.

✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?
in the big five test i found myself to have a big quality called agreeableness which means im very easy to find common grounds in any situation which makes human connection an easy task to have to do..

In both tests i find myself as a person who values human connections and try my best to enhance such connection so its helping me pursue my happiness when i talk to people like you here

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

Honestly that i have trouble taking these personality tests, to majority of questions i find myself wanting to end in the middle or thinking it depends on the situation. Found it very hard to answer, i do not think it is because i do not know, rather than it truly varies for me, i do not feel like i have this set strong identity and feel strictly about things. Am quite variable.

✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

Biggest one is that i tend  to consider feelings of others, which can very much be a negative if not managed properly. I love that i have a big heart and care about others so deeply but i also need to take care of myself and channel that energy for myself too. I am still a person afterall and you can not pour from an empty cup. 

Also that i tend to be very anxious and go off of my emotions a lot, am quite sensitive, so i need to work on channeling that inner strength and peace.

I love your self-awareness.  I hear a lot of compassion in your post.  I also hear the challenge with the tests.  I feel that some too, particularly when it is some true but some not.  One of my results put me right in the middle but the result I felt wasn't as accurate as it should be, but it's not going to be perfect, because if I took it tomorrow, it would be in the ballpark but could be slightly different.

I love your take away on how to apply it with the anxiousness and emotions.  That is a great idea.

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

This was a very interesting test.  It showed I'm not very keen to new experiences, which is actually partly true, but except in certain situations.  The rest wasn't new to me.  I'm reliable and organized, I enjoy the company of others (my friends specifically), I'm good natured and supportive, and I'm not particularly nervous nor calm.  I pretty much take it in the middle.


✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

Strengths wise, the organization, my empathy and supportiveness are definitely strengths.  I'm to help with projects and problem solve, yet be caring and take others feelings and feedback into consideration.  In general I'm a leader and I enjoy being a leader, but I like it when others are willing to step up and take on tasks that cater to their strengths too.  I enjoy seeing people grow, which feeds into my encouraging and supportive side.

In my personal life, it helps me in relationships, it helps me to have balance in my relationships and my time between volunteering and personal life.  It allows me to take care of me as well as to be careful to sensitive to my needs.  The organization helps me to notice my needs and keep my schedule doable and not too overwhelming (most of the time).

I have taken this test a couple times in the past so I did not learn anything new per say but just was more so a confirmation of something I already knew. I guess it was interesting taking this test now when I am quite a bit older than previously and still getting pretty similar scores.

True. This test was quite hard for me too while taking it for the first time as we are pondering over each questions that touches certain sensitive spots. But this is also a sign we are being truthful in our answers / at least are trying to be which in itself is a step towards genuine progress!

@Ivy229 It’s great to see that your test results confirm what you already know about yourself, showing consistency over time. Your strengths in open-mindedness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness are admirable and can significantly enhance your personal life, making you creative, reliable, and supportive. Embrace these qualities, and continue to manage your anxiety with effective strategies. You're on a wonderful path of self-awareness and growth!

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I have taken this particular test before so I did not learn any new information; however, it was a nice refresher on things that I do have positive qualities for 

✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

As per the test, I prefer order and routine. I am empathetic and I am willing to accommodate to support others in most situations. I have a strong epistemophila and I enjoy activity that helps me engage in the world around me as well as improve my understanding of it. 

Knowing this, I think I am able to better support my thoughts and hopefully continue to enjoy learning. I think as an INFJ, it is so important to me to not only understand others, but also be open to change when it comes to all around supporting my peers which i view as a positive trait

@Hope ✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

Like in the previous discussion I learned that my personality is more introverted. I've always thought I was just a shy extrovert, but I think this conclusion makes more sense. 


✒️ What are your strengths as per the test and how can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

According to the test I can be overly emotional. However I a strength is that I am very caring, which I think can help me in my personal life because it can make me feel closer to the people around me :)
