Personal Connection
I recently took a 16 Personalities quiz to determine what kind of personality I am. I found that I am what is known as a Mediator Personality. This means that I am an idealist, so that I am always searching for the good in perceived bad people or situations, and ways to make things better. I think that this definitely describes me and my personality! Also people with a Mediator Personality tend to be more shy and reserved, but also have a deep passion for things that are special to them. Although I am not exactly sure what my deep passion is yet, I think it definitely describes me, because I do consider myself to be a introvert (according to the test I am), but I do feel strongly about certain things like helping animals and the environment which is what I want to do for a living. How? Not sure yet but I feel certain that I'll find my way (my idealism is showing :) By taking this quiz I am able to reflect on my abilities so that I can better approach my life and overcome any challenges I may face.
High School Connection
By knowing my personality type, I am able to better understand my strengths and weaknesses so that I can reflect on my abilities and know my capabilities. For example, since one of my personality weaknesses is dealing with data according to my results, I am able to adapt to that so that I choose to get extra help before I actually need it because I know I am going to need it in the near future. Math has never been a good subject for me, therefore by knowing that, I can decide to actively seek help from my teachers even when I don't think I need it. Furthermore, because I know that I am able to easily think creatively I know that I am able to do better in my English and Literature classes and to think more abstractly (finding meaning in symbols and other details of a novel), which is true. Finally, by knowing that I am not the most logical thinker, I know that I am more of a visual rather than auditory or kinetic learner. I can learn better when I see things and then am able to connect concepts to with a picture/image. This is why I have found that watching YouTube videos to review for a test is so helpful for me.
