STRENGTHS

MBTI Myers-Briggs Typology

(I am just putting down the strengths and weaknesses that were given to me
by the tests it does not mean that I agree or disagree with them)

What are your strengths according to this test?

According to the test one of my strengths is that I see through disingenuous motives
and dishonesty, I would wouldnt beat around the bush and use manipulation tactics
and I would move into a more honest discussion. See how events and people are
connected. Another strength according to the test is that I operate largely internally
and am able to see the big picture very easily. Im able to understand things
through my strong sense of intuition, and often can pinpoint specific reasons.

How can you maximize these strengths?

I guess I could these strengths in that employers would appreciate a person who
sees the big picture and gets straight to the point. They wouldnt want to hire
someone if he is an arrogant asshat who thinks he is the next coming of Jesus.

DiSC

What are your strengths according to this test?

One strength that this assessment gave me was that I have high self-confidence and I
am a natural risk taker and problem solver. Another strength place great value on
time frames and seeing results in a quick but efficient manner.

How can you maximize these strengths?

These strengths can be used to great effect in the workplace especially if the
workplace values ambition. I would think the employer would want someone who
can stick to the establish time frames without problem and can solve problems on
their own with having to asking for assistance.

HGMI

What are your strengths according to this test?

According to this test my highest intelligence is Logical/Mathematical. Some of the
biggest strengths for logical/mathematical are being skilled at deductive reasoning,
detecting patterns, and logical thinking. People with logical/mathematical
intelligence are good at scientific investigations and identifying relationships
between different things. They are also good at understanding complex and abstract
ideas.

How can you maximize these strengths?

The very act of selecting key points in a logical, systematic numbered sequence can
help me think more carefully about what I may be learning. The very act of
investigating and analyzing allows me to go beneath the surface of what I may be
learning so as not to simply take it at face value. I can also strengthen this
intelligence by encouraging the use of computer programming languages, critical-
thinking activities, linear outlining, Piagetian cognitive stretching exercises, science-
fiction scenarios, logic puzzles, and through the use of logical/sequential
presentation of subject matter.

PERSONAL STRENGTHS I KNOW ABOUT (BEYOND TESTS AND TEAMWORK)

What are your strengths that you know beyond your tests and teamwork
experience?

In all honestly the strengths that I listed above were my core strengths I already
knew and at this point I would be just rehashing.

WEAKNESSES

Weaknesses are those parts of our personality that are harder to change. For
example, if you are only 52, it would be hard to work in a job that required you to
be tall; if you have a reading disability, you might not be able to work at a job or task
that requires a lot of reading!

Weaknesses are NOT bad habits. Those are THREATS, see below

MBTI Myers-Briggs Typology

What are your weaknesses according to this test?

For me, there are quite a few weaknesses of our lot.

1- We expect the same level of devotion/perfection from everyone around us and if

that is, somehow, not the case, we look down on others.
2- We always have to be in an environment where we feel wanted. Again, there
might be many real life situations where this doesn't happen; and I, for one, find
them incredibly difficult to handle.

3- We are very stubborn when it comes to defending our ideas and thoughts in
general. We don't readily accept advice from others.

4- We don't take criticism (unless it is presented in a way that provides a method of

improvement) very well.

5- We are "forever unsatisfied souls". Every achievement is followed by

introspection which invariably leads to the conclusion "well, it could have been
better still"!

What can you do to minimize these weaknesses?

To grow as an individual, the INFJ needs to focus on applying their judgment to

things only after they have gone through their intuition. In other words, the INFJ
needs to consciously try not to use their judgment to dismiss ideas prematurely.
Rather, they should use their judgment against their own ideas. One cannot
effectively judge something that they don't understand. The INFJ needs to take
things entirely into their intuition in order to understand them. It would be
necessary for INFJs like me to give our intuition enough time to work through the
new information so that it can rebuild its global framework of understanding. INFJs
need to focus on using their judgment not to dismiss ideas, but rather to support
their intuitive framework.

DiSC

What are your weaknesses according to this test?

Some of the weaknesses that I see myself having in certain circumstances are that I
tend to overstep authority, as I prefer to work by myself. At times (when I am
irritated) I can be argumentative and not listen to the reasoning of others. I may
attempt to do too much at one time, hoping to see quick results. Also, if people focus
too much on the problems, the negative points, and the small details I get irritated
rather quickly because I feel no progress is getting done. When I am stressed and
under a TIGHT deadline I will usually act like this:

Overstep boundaries

Create anxiety in others

Communicate with bluntness or sarcasm

Act restlessly
Overrule and steamroll others

Make mistakes and are inattentive to details, logic

Become easily dissatisfied with routine work

What can you do to minimize these weaknesses?

I could strive to strive to listen more actively, be attentive to other team members'
ideas, and to strive for consensus instead of making decisions alone. Instead of
making only broad, decisive statements, I should be careful to explain the "whys" of
my proposals and decisions. I can be at times controlling and domineering at times
and will need to watch for my tone tone and body language when feeling frustrated
or stressed out.

HGMI

My lowest intelligences profiles are Linguistic/Verbal, Musical, Spatial/Visual, and

Interpersonal.

These weaknesses are all true and reflect who I am. All of these intelligences would
not suit a team environment, social interactions, or where interpersonal skills are
required. I have tried to develop these traits, but still feel I am lacking in this area. I
believe that with proper training and experience I can develop these areas and make
them an asset.

PERSONAL WEAKNESSES I KNOW ABOUT (BEYOND TESTS AND TEAMWORK)

What are your weaknesses that you know beyond your tests and teamwork?

I am too helpful. I find it very difficult to say 'NO'. Sometimes it puts me in a tough
situation. I am very detailed oriented person. I just want everything to be perfect
and then I realize that I am losing on time. But in a way, this has helped in becoming
a good performer under pressure. I feel nervous when it comes to public speaking. I
get nervous when I need to give a presentation in front of many people. I don't feel
comfortable in messy environment. I can't focus on my work until everything is
organized.

What can you do to minimize these weaknesses?

Someone has rightly said if doing something scares you, do that unless you defeat
your fear

You are afraid of that thing which is why you think you are weak.
If you have few weaknesses, jot them down on a piece of paper and analyse in which
area your weakness lies. Try on improving each area one step after another. Stick to
the plan no matter what and don't blame anyone or anything if you are not successful
initially. That's an excuse. Remember this phrase Rome was not built in a single day

We think we are weak and won't even bother to take a first step to overcome our fear.
The moment your inner self shouts that you can, your weakness will appear to be
weak in front of you.
