WHAT I LEARNT IN SESSION TWO

The MBTI conclusions or deductions about the type of person I am are that, I am INTP (introversion, intuitive, thinking and perceiving). Ofcourse one can not conclude or base the opinion of who they are from answering a couple of questions. I do however appreciate and agree with the MBTI conclusions, and taking such exercise helped me understand or get ideas as to what type of person I am. It is enriching to get to know what type of person one is. This provides a guidance and enlightenment on how I would react in particular conditions. Also, it gives me assurence and confirmation of what I think of myself about some of the things for example, my thought process and point of view of life. MBTI also helped me identify my strengths and wicknesses. I am actually excited to take the challenge of working on my weaknesses and appreciting my strengths and this also kind of gives a signal as to what environment I would prefer or just preferences in general, like what type of job I would probably enjoy, for example: office work or field/practical work.

Learning who I am was a good experience and answering those questions was an experience of discovering who I am and also gave me tools to use for interpersonal skills (i.e. interacting with people). I think it is very important to know and understand how to relate with different types of people, with different believes, backgrounds and personality. The characteristics of perceiving and thinking probably constitute my "Unique Selling Point". I suppose my Unique Selling Point is the approach to solving problems or carry out a task. My strategy is to brainstorm on the problem or task before anything. Then after understanding the problem/task, I have to come up with a plan or a number of solutions. This way, solving a problem or carrying out the task as the approach can be done from different kinds of angles. I suppose its my way of trying to be efficient in the sense that, I think its good to always have options and alternatives before undertaking any activity.

One of my strength would have be the ability to adjust in different conditions. There are always changes in our surroundings, e.g in University or at work and some changes would may be profession-wise and I am hopefully are would be ready for any changes. I believe its important to always be ready for anything and I think my thought and idea of the fact that things can always go wrong and despite what one is doing there is a possibility of things going wrong or not working out the way I wanted.
