Learning More About Myself

One of the perks of being an RA is having the opportunity to take free tests to learn about yourself.

So far I have taken two tests. I took Strengthsfinder and Myers-Briggs. After I take the test we have a big group meeting where we learn more about these tests and each category.

For Strengthsfinder I got:
Restorative - I love to solve problems.
Belief - I have core values that shapes my behavior.
Connectedness - I believe we are all part of something bigger.
Harmony - I think there is little to gain from conflict and friction.
Developer - I see the potential in others.

I think that pretty much describes me.

For Myers-Briggs I got ISFJ which means:
Introverted - Energized by the inner world.
Sensing - Work with known facts.
Feeling - Base decisions on personal values.
Judging- Planned, decided ways of life (closure).

If you're familiar at all with this test you know the other options from mine are Extroverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.

I actually mostly tested in the middle between both extremes, which I kind of disagree with. If I were to take the test again I believe things would turn out differently. During the meeting I graded myself as a INFJ. A lot of this test depends on how you felt during the test and a lot of times people always have a little of both. I was also conflicted between who I think I am and who I want to become.

Either way, it was pretty interesting. It is usually hard for me to analyze myself and figure who I am as a person so these tests help get another perspective on things. It is an interesting question to ask yourself, "how well do I know me?" or at least I think it is interesting because I sometimes feel like I don't know who I am anymore. So, if you want, Google the two tests above and see if you can find a free one online, or ask a friend to analyze you.
