5. learner
intellection means that i'm introspective and like to spend time alone with my thoughts (true). i'm "probably" a critical thinker (working on it!) and love discussing intellectual topics with people. i'm eager to extend my knowledge base and should work on sharing the information i've learned with others (i've been trying to figure out the best way for me to do exactly that).
input means i have a craving to know more and i'm likely to collect and archive all kinds of information, which is definitely true! i'm totally a collector and i have this blog, pinterest, and my pocket app to prove it. it confirms that i revel in having time alone to read. i gain facts and insights that help me coordinate trips, events, or projects. i thrive when i'm encouraged to acquire knowledge and skills (yessss). my mind is crowded with information on numerous subjects and often one or two of my newfound findings consumes the majority of my thinking time (oh yes).
responsibility is my tendency to take psychological ownership of what i say i will do. this is so true and the cause for a lot of guilty feelings. i am committed to honesty and loyalty. it also says i might be disappointed in myself if i fail to make someone feel welcome. that is such a surprise to hear but yes, it's so true! i want to give my approval to everyone regardless of age, nationality, income, handicaps, etc. i strive to be a dependable person and i willingly assume accountability for tasks/assignments and please people by being reliable (sometimes to my detriment). this part here really got me: "your strong desire to be deemed worthy of others’ trust motivates you, so you tend to concentrate on things about yourself that need to be fixed, enhanced, or upgraded." this is very true and exhausting! i want to think more about the fact that it's tied to being trustworthy...
futuristic! this one means that i'm inspired by the future and what it could be (❤). i spend a lot of time pondering the behaviors, activities, skills, knowledge, processes, and ideas i want to perfect in the coming months, years, or decades. i gain a lot of satisfaction from envisioning what my life and the world might have in store and am energized by my plans. it says i sense that i have the power to transform whatever i think is possible into tangible outcomes (gonna work on that one). i have vivid mental images of the coming days, months, or years that impel me to action.
being a learner means, again, that i have a desire to learn and continuously improve. the process of learning excites me more than the outcome. i'd say that is true. i seem to get a little bored when the learning part is over. i seek opportunities to increase my capacity for fixing things, correcting mistakes, or overcoming weaknesses. i'd rather be left alone with my thoughts than engage in small talk. because of my strengths, i occasionally figure out what factors caused someone to behave in a certain way (oh yeah!). once in a while, i present evidence that explains why a particular event occurred. i resonated with that one but never really put it into words or had it confirmed. i do often feel like i know the "real" reason behind someone's behavior, like i can see through them.
takeaways:
1. i should figure out my favorite way to share my obtained knowledge with people
2. i would be happy utilizing my searching and information-gathering mind in order to organize things for other people
3. bringing my ideas for the future to life is exciting for me
4. when i have an idea for the future, i should slow down and spend more time figuring out how to bring about that outcome (maybe document my path?)
5. take notes while reading!
6. make it a point to befriend people with whom i can have intellectual or stimulating conversations with
