The unique personality traits we carry as adults reflect our learning experiences. Our attitudes and personal opinions go hand in hand with the way we learn. We can be resistant to some learning techniques subconsciously and won’t take any useful information from it. The ways in which we exercise our minds activates our personal intelligence skills and teaches us more allowing us to build on our established knowledge. By taking assessment tests, I have found my strengths in intelligence. The assessment “Find Your Strengths!” pointed out my top three intelligences for them. First, language was my top strength. I enjoy saying, hearing and seeing words. I’m motivated by words …show more content…
Exploring the origins of words and categorizing word lists is useful for brain activity. Writing down the directions step by step to a simple task will show me sequence. Making outlines for papers or reviewing reading material with lists will help me with order.
Another assessment that helps discover one’s strengths is the Jung Personality Test. This test is a series of questions that interprets an individual’s personality type. Out of the 16 types, my result is ISFJ personality. ISFJ stands for introverted, sensing, feeling and judging. My type is known as being the protector. The assessment asks a series of questions weighing out the four areas: extraversion vs. introversion, sensing vs. intuition, thinking vs. feeling, and judging vs. perceiving.
My personality type leans towards Introversion. I tend to be more quiet and reserved. “They have well- developed people skills and robust social relationships” (ISFJ Personality). Naturally, I’m social but value my alone time. I like to be around people but only for so long until I need my quiet space. In fact, my alone time energizes me and allows me to gather my thoughts and impressions. I have an excellent memory in remembering people and details about them. I tend to have a few close friends and keep a small circle of people close to me. I’m sentimental and caring towards the people in my day-to-day …show more content…
I enjoy structure and organizations. I like to know what to expect. I prefer to be organized and have set plans. I have a great memory for detail and am practical minded. Characteristically, I’m humble and unassertive. Due to my personality type, I value my personal relationships yet am very reserved towards new people: “Because they are quiet, people sometimes misinterpret this as standoffish behavior.” (Cherry) I rarely disclose personal information unless it’s to one of my few best friends. My personality type tends to be focused on our surroundings and can relate details to our personal experiences. I’m a compassionate listener and remember details about individuals. This will help me in pursuing my future career as a counselor. I enjoy hearing facts about others while making a connection with them.
Although there are many strengths of my being an ISFJ personality type, the weaknesses coincide. We are known to neglect our personal needs. It’s common to have fear of branching out of my comfort zone. I have an extreme dislike towards conflict and negative criticism. I’m unlikely to express my own needs and concerns which causes built up tension and anger. I have a hard time leaving bad relationships that are unhealthy. Last but not least, I have problems letting go after a relationship
