I find this conclusion from the website to be true as I do plan and make sure that everything will
fall into place as I move forward. Dedicated as well, since I do make goals, I set to achieve and
have done many things to try and make progress into achieving this goal. For example, I plan to
be a computer engineer, solving technical problems and creating code for people to use. I’ve
set my life goals and paths I should follow. I’ve taken a coding course and am still trying to learn
as much as I can before stepping into the real world and being independent. It is accurate.
These traits and skills are incorporated in my everyday life, as I do tasks that I need to
accomplish. Having to know what my personality is helps me understand myself clearly of who I
am and what I can do and accomplish in life. It gives me a sense of what I could work on, to
improve my weaknesses that I've read.

The traits, as in my strengths, describe me as a person quite accurately. The traits that resonate
with me the most are being strong-willed and dutiful, very responsible, and creating and
enforcing order. I felt like this personality test not only showed what my personality was, but
also the deeper parts of it. I believe I am a strong-willed and a dutiful person as at work and
school, I am always keen to get things done as fast as I can, but with good work and effort. My
employers at work basically tell me one thing and I get it done right away and then do whatever
it takes for the warehouse to be clean and organized. I think this is a very important part of my
personality since it is what keeps me going from time to time and drives me to do things
properly and quickly. Being very responsible is a hard trait for some people and I certainly have
this strength, it really comes in handy when I am at work since I am working around moving
machinery and big tires, things can happen quickly and be fatal. I am always on my feet and am
always following the safety procedures of the workplace. Lastly, creating and enforcing order
means that I like it when I know that everyone is on the same track and is communicating with
each other about things because when someone does not communicate a lot of things can be
set back. For instance, I am always letting my coworkers that I am working with what is going to
happen and how it's going to happen. Sometimes I would listen to ideas, if I haven’t done
something before, but if I’ve had experience with it and know how it’s going to work, I will let
them know that they are going to do it my way. Saying this may make it seem that I am a hard
head, but it is the way I work and usually affective. I find this test to be surprisingly accurate
because I do see many strengths and weaknesses that do resonate with me. The weaknesses
that are somewhat true are being hard on myself, insensitive, and always by the book. I tend to
lean more to these weaknesses since I do struggle with them when it comes to day-to-day life.
Whenever I mess something up or even make the smallest inconvenience for anyone, including
myself, I get so worked up that I just did something so stupid and wasted a bunch of valuable
time. I am trying to learn that mistakes happen and that they just happen sometimes to
everyone. Being insensitive is a big weakness of mine because I always get ahead of my
thoughts and say or do things that are just upset people. For instance, I could be having a
conversation with my girlfriend and we’re talking about something serious. I would sometimes
make a stupid joke out of something that she said, and it would upset her. I feel like I need to
learn when it’s the right time and place for things like that. Sometimes I would incorporate
being hard on myself with this type of thing and not help with the positivity I try to seek.
Building Ikea furniture and Lego are my favorite things to do whenever I get the chance to do it
and there are always instructions that I need to follow to make sure it works. I find rules and
instructions to be a valuable part of life and it helps me choose things quicker and more
precisely since there are rules to follow. It is also my downfall because I am not really trying to
get out of my comfort zone and experiment with new things. Recently I’ve been trying to get
out of this mindset and try to do new things. For example, I picked up on the guitar and can
play basic things, I am starting to invest in stocks, and I am trying to experiment with building
computers. The only career path that really stuck out for me was data analysis because I want
to go into the computer field. Overall, I came to the conclusion that this personality test is
accurate and a fun thing to do, if someone wants to learn more about themselves, but one
needs to be careful with their choices when picking answers to get the best results.
