Course 1, Discussion 2: The Big 5

@Hope

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

As a student of psychology who had a subject on personalities, this was my second time taking the test after nearly 2 years! honestly am feeling proud of myself looking at how far I've come as an individual!

This test result showed my progress / the areas I've developed in, providing with great insights into my personality development.

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

My strengths identified according to the test results are as follows:

Open Mindedness: You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways.

Conscientiousness: You are well-organized, and are reliable.

Extraversion: You are relatively social and enjoy the company of others.

Agreeableness: You tend to consider the feelings of others.

Negative Emotionality: You aren't particularly nervous, nor calm.

Having a broader view towards things has helped me see and understand varied thoughts and experiences.

The MBTI test results suggested I lean more towards introversion, whereas the big 5 shows a slightly high percentage towards extraversion, i think this is kinda is in lieu with my personalty type, as i am more enthusiastic and bubbly at the presence of my close and loved ones, however, i do tend to reserve back when my social battery dips down to the yellow level. I've surprised my friends (and myself!) with intense periods of enthusiasm as well as withdrawal and silence to a point of notice as there's always been a constant internal debate in me between engaging with and withdrawing from others.

It is so true, I am not feeling particularly nervous bout anything, but neither am I calm.

Overall, these test results has helped my gain a deeper insight and embrace myself to the fullest!

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I am open minded, well-organized, introvert, agreeable and can be anxious or nervous. I never thought about the negative emotions aspect of my personality but now I am realizing how much I sweat, stutter and my hands shake whenever I am invited as a presenter or being called out at front. I guess I get nervous a lot. 😃 

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

Since I am open minded and enjoy my alone time. Therefore, I have a space where I can be imaginative and creative as much as I want to brainstorm brand new ideas with creativity.

Ello : 3

I learned that I enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways.

My strengths were open-mindedness and extraversion. I can use these strengths to learn more about others and provide them better support.

I think it was pretty much the same as the mbti one from before, but this one says I'm more extraverted. So, I'm extroverted yippie.  it's nice to learn new things about yourself and see what other sites and tests have to say about you. 

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: I can't remember and I closed the tap 😭

Conscientiousness: I probably have a messy desk (true) 

Extraversion: I'm not very extraverted or introverted but more towards the extraverted side.

Agreeableness: Not afraid to stand up for myself and be critical 

Negative Emotionality: Very calm and calculated, emotionally mature

I think these two tests will help me in my personal life to understand myself better.  When there are situations where I'm not sure who I am I believe these tests will remind me.  I also think being able to stand up for myself has helped me a lot because I've avoided some rocky relationships and friendships because of that.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?  I was surprised to not be nervous nor calm because I always have felt like I’ve been more in the nervous side with a lot of anxiety. I also thought as far as introverted and extroverted I’d be more in the middle, but I’m definitely more on the introverted side.

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

Being conscientious I feel can definitely be used as being attentive in my personal life. Being very open-minded helps me be able to see things from different point of views, 

@Hope This test has helped me understand a few important factors about myself that I already knew but sometimes it's good to point out.

Open-Mindedness: Via the test it shows that I enjoy being creating and exploring new concepts since I'm generally open to new experiences, but I also value some familiarity and structure, unfortunately, it was not very true as I am not that open to new experiences if socially said.

Conscientiousness: I do respect structure and discipline in my life, I enjoy being tidy and organizing my stuff. This helps me being trustworthy and diligent in my work.

I've learned that my strengths are being open to new ideas, staying organized, and being supportive in relationships - these help me grow, stay reliable, and nurture those around me. :)

Extraversion: I'm usually more introverted and I like calmer, less crowded places which makes me feel more at ease in small groups or one-on-one conversations than in big social events.

Agreeableness: I have an extremely high score here, which says that it indicates polite and encouraging personality.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

i learned that I am more of a conscientious person than I thought I was and that I was less agreeable than I assumed I’d be. But I am also less negative than I thought I’d be and I’m pretty happy about this. I knew I was pretty open minded cause I have been told that by a lot of people so not very surprised about that. And I am very aware that I am an introvert so no surprise there either 

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

I think one of the biggest strengths I have is my ability to be open to new experiences and changes which allows me to adapt to my environment easier and handle stressful situations successfully, I also found out that I am a person who does not think very negatively or calmly and tend to have a more neutral attitude towards events which I think can be a strength to help me not find the negative in everything which also helps me deal with change and stressful situations better. And I am an agreeable person which I think can be a strength in building bonds and maintaining good relationships.

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

• I apparently tend to be a lot more nervous than whatever sample size they used for this test!
• I have low "conscientiousness" which is surprising to me. I do have a messy desk and have trouble organizing pretty much everything, but I don't think it makes me unreliable or negligent! 

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

• My highest score (outside being a nervous wreck) was in agreeableness. I do consider myself to be sympathetic and forgiving. I feel like the 16Personalities test was more accurate and representative of who I am, but there was definitely some overlap. I didn't realize I was at the extreme end of introversion, so I might try to work on that a bit!
