Course 1, Discussion 2: The Big 5

@Hope

The Big 5 test taught me that I :

• Thrive on new ideas and creative thinking.
• Am highly relaxed and spontaneous, tending to avoid rigid obligations.
• Am extremely introspective and find deep satisfaction in solitary activities.
• Am sometimes cooperative but also prioritize my own needs and boundaries.
• Often feel anxious, worried, or frustrated, and sometimes struggle to relax under stress.

Here's how I scored in terms of percentiles :

• Open-Mindedness - 87 percentile
• Conscientiousness - 12 percentile
• Extraversion - 5 percentile
• Agreeableness -39 percentile
• Negative Emotionality - 87 percentile

The strengths I have identified such as openmindness can help me to empathise and be of service to others.

What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I do know what type of person am I, so there wasn't a main or new things I learned about myself. I am learning to stand up for myself so, it was nice reading the feedback on Agreeableness. There are some areas that I need to work on, and I will surely do. Altogether, it was fun to do this test and read through the results.

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 87 percentile and Negative Emotionality 22 percentile, these are my strengths as per the test. Now, that I think about it. I barely used to have anything in mind, while talking about my strengths in interview and rest. But now, I can clearly see the score and talk about these two areas more fluently. Learning about these strengths through the test, strengthen my self-confidence and has also excited me to explore more about myself. I do know I am like this and that, but not in detail and these test are helping me to dive deeper.

I am loving these test honestly, and really appreciate 7 cups community for introducing us to these.

@Hope these tests always help me take a look at the inner me, and what i see is stuff i could really work on. im very grateful for the good traits of my personality but i am someone who would always challenge herself and so- this test is challenging me to work on some parts of myself :") 
we can do it team~!

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

Most of the results matched how I see myself. I learned that I have a balanced personality—I enjoy exploring new ideas while also valuing structure and practicality. I was also interested to see that I lean slightly toward being extroverted, but still appreciate quiet time when I need it. The biggest takeaway for me was learning that I generally remain calm under pressure, which I think helps me handle challenges with a clear mind.

?

I think my strength is my curiosity, the ability to just do something with my 100% if I like it, so I will be focusing on identifying those topics and just give my best.

What were the main things you learned about yourself? The results reflected a lot of what I already knew about myself. I enjoy learning new ideas, like being organised, and tend to think carefully before making decisions.

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 were openness, conscientiousness and agreeableness. Alongside my tendency to think strategically, I think these qualities help me approach challenges thoughtfully while also building supportive relationships, both in my personal life and as a 7 Cups listener.

✒️ 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 my ability to analyse is one of the most important strengths in me, which further leads to the fact that no matter the situation i do not panic. i know deep down that i can analyse and more often than not break down all issues unto many smaller issues. literally everything i know is compartmentalized sort off in my brain.

✒️ What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I learned that I am a bit of an extravert which I kind of understand but not really since I call myself an introvert with slight extrovertness but now that I think about it more I think may be a mix of both sometimes. 

I also learned I had Negative Emotionality which i'm not sure is true cause i'm usually stressing about life so me mostly being calm is a bit suspicious to me cause that's not always me. I may seem calm on the outside but i'm usually the opposite on the inside.
