Strengths

"...Who Am I?"

Typing in the website www.oneishy.com I completed a personality test and to my surprise, the test proved that my dominant personality type was Phlegmatic - the introvert, the watcher and the pessimist. As I read down the key strengths of this personality type I was pleased to read that I was a calm, cool and collected character who mediates problems, avoids conflics and is good under pressure. I apperantly do not get upset easily, and I am easy to get along with. I also have high levels of compassion and concern. However, the weaknesses of this side of my personality is that I am fearful and worried easily. The results also say I am indecisive. All these things were true of me. I was actually very surprised with how legitimate the results were to me.
My secondary personality type was Choleric - the extrovert, the doer, and the optimist. I found this highly entertaining, because I can never actually find the balance of whether I like being around people all the time or not, or whether I am optimisitic or pessimistic. (I guess I'm both!) Strengths of being a Choleric person include being a born leader and able to handle a lot at a time. I am dynamic and active, and I have a need for change. I delegate the work, I insist on production and I make the goal. I also thrive on opposition and excel in emergencies. Weaknesses to manage for this personality type are impatience, bossyness, and anxiousness. I give answers too quickly and I get impatient with poor performance. I am also convinced that I can do everything better then everyone else.

One may look at these areas and cringe at the weaknesses to manage, but one way to grow from reading these results is not to ignore, nor dwell on the weaknesses, but develop your areas of strength the most. One would be wisely advised to manage the weaknesses, but to work with your strengths the most.

Instead of seeing that I'm an impatient, indecisive and anxious individual - I recognize that I have huge potential to be strong leader, who can resolve conflicts and oversee big projects and excel in finishing work properly.
