After completing the 16 Personalities test, I was placed in the “Advocate” category. Apparently it is pretty rare, and it is estimated that less than 1% of the population fits in this category. This was surprising to hear, I never thought I was that unique personality wise.
Three words I would use to describe myself are: Dedicated, insightful and empathetic.
I think the greatest lesson I can learn from awareness of myself and others is my ability to regulate and mediate. Knowing my own strengths and weaknesses, my “breaking points” are more clear and it is easier to know when I am pushing myself too hard, or stressing too much. I am able to stop myself before I get to that point. As well as I can also support my friends better. In knowing their personalities, it is easier to see what they need from you so that you can be the best that you can be for them.
Because nothing is 100% to one side or the other, these tests do give a close representation of your personality. But it is always more complex than that. There are a lot of variables in peoples life that can make them the way they are and that can change sometimes too. Some people could be more dynamic and even span into multiple categories depending on the circumstances. I think that it is hard to narrow something as convoluted as human personality down to a 100 response questionnaire.
