True Color And Strengths Quest

Improved Essays
While studying my personality, I learned a lot about myself; tools that will help me while going forward in the future. While taking both the True Color and Strengths Quest, I found out what my main personality traits were. Now, I can focus on how to interact better with others and act more as a team player and use my strengths for the better good of the teams.
First, the True Colors test determined that I was mainly a “gold” which tends to be one that is very orderly, prepared, follows all the rules, and tend to be serious.

For example, focusing isn’t necessarily something that I do all the time, I tend to be a very hyper individual sometimes and find it hard to focus (like while I’m trying to write this paper). I feel that my other top traits that weren’t necessarily a top five theme, are still a very important part of …show more content…
However, Strengths Quest also shows that I don’t necessarily oppose CHANGE in all settings due to the learner and analytical theme. This shows me that I also tend to want to understand information and why people would break the rules (not that they should commit this crime). In a group setting this would make me a more lenient “gold” because I accept people being late and breaking rules. This would also help in a group setting because I would want to learn as much as I can about why something occurred. The analytical theme is according to the description is very similar to this.

Interestingly, I took this survey about 4 years ago and my results said I was a Blue-Orange person and for the most part the more recent results are more accurate of who I am today. Years ago, I used to be a more eccentric, outgoing, and extroverted person. Today I have matured and balanced it for the better in my opinion.…
