Recommended: Introduction to Personality

Throughout this coarse, I was able to expand my knowledge upon figuring out who I am and how I want to live my life. This opened up eyes to a completely different perspective of myself and made me aware of why I posses certain characteristics and traits. The question of “who a I” cannot be simply answered in a straightforward definition, but this coarse was able to provide me with tools and information that has helped me begin to discover my true self. My temperament, personality and life experiences have shaped me in numerous ways and will continue to shape me in the future as I grow and evolve. Although we are forever impermanent, because there is a part of us that is forever changing throughout the years, we all have a basic perception of who we …show more content…

This coarse has also helped me see myself clearly and has given me the ability to clearly recognize the characteristics I obtain and why some people don’t share the same traits as me. I can now allow myself to stop expecting to become someone I’m not and am able to accept others for who they are and I can stop expecting them to share the same characteristics as me. Finding my personality through the Enneagram has allowed me to encountered information that has made me reflect upon my personality and has helped me find a deeper meaning of self awareness. This has allowed me to be able to fully appreciate my gifts and challenges, which will lead to me having a deeper satisfaction in life. After reading all of the nine personality types of the Enneagram, I was able to quickly realize that the type two personality fit me the best. When I continued to expand my knowledge over my Enneagram type two, it helped me realize that I possess certain traits that I didn’t realize I obtained before, along with giving me a different perspective on my personality traits.

    In the past two weeks, I have learned quite a bit about my personality. I have learned that I am a Blue-Gold personality and that I am also a 2-9 personality. The first of these two I found out from the True colors Personality Quiz. I had taken this quiz this summer as camp and got near results to what I did this time. This time I tied for the colors blue and gold, while this summer I scored one point higher on blue than gold. The second of these two types of personality identifiers came from The Enneagram test which uses numbers as an unbiased grouping system. I had never taken this test and it was interesting to see how many of the numbers I corresponded with. My main two were numbers two and nine, but numbers one, four, and six were all

  • Examples Of Personal Narrative Essay

    By leading carefree conversations, by being energetic and positive all the time I believed I was only meeting the expectations of a new society while my another, thoughtful, pensive, sometimes melancholic and sensitive self was hiding somewhere behind. In the very beginning of the semester, I would lie down on the Quad, look at the humongous moon and the sky full of stars and reflect on life. In the middle of the semester, I looked at the sky with the same intention to think and analyze, but I was deeply disappointed to discover that my reflections had become as superficial and shallow as my daily life, I was not able to find thoughtful Elene, the one I was hiding so carefully. I encountered what a philosopher Martha Nussbaum defines as an “ultimate irony of the divided life”: live behind a wall long enough, and the true self you tried to hide from the world disappears from your own view! The wall itself and the world outside it become all that you

    Not knowing who I was for many years led to a series of bad decisions and choices. However I began to notice that I had a gift, a talent of making others feel good and found myself wanting to be an emboldening model for others. Often my friends and family looked to me for advice and answers. I later realized that it was not about giving advice but helping them find the answer that are locked away in their subconscious mind. Helping them discover who they were; the irony I discovered who I was, my life purpose, my calling.

  • Reflection Essay On Personality

    1458 Words  | 3 Pages

    Trait approach covers the big five personality traits: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. These five traits have been identified as the most identifiable personality traits, even across cultures and societies. According to McCrae, Costa, and Busch’s (1986) study on personality system comprehensiveness, the big five personality model included the five traits most identified with by individuals asked to describe themselves and others. I found this segment of the class especially intriguing as it helped me not only learn so much about myself, but also take a deeper look into the personality of my family, peers, and even strangers. I am also more conscious of how I self-monitor my personality traits. For example, I am very much so an introverted person but at times I try to be extroverted based off the environment. In highly social environments, I consciously smile and try to talk to people because I want to be perceived in a favorable light, not actually because I feel the need to be sociable. In other words, I don’t want to be perceived as odd. I believe I developed this form of self-monitoring because when I am introverted at social events people will constantly ask me if I’m ok since I’m quiet, which makes me uncomfortable as they make me the focus. Being the center of attention makes me anxious, and therefore to prevent that I have developed being a fake-extrovert to avoid it. This exemplified how I apply self-monitoring to my everyday life. Trait approach gave me insight into how to identify vastly accepted personality traits, as well as, how each of these traits can be influenced and

  • Introspection Of Myself Essay

    906 Words  | 2 Pages

    Introspection of oneself could be interesting and moderately to an extent challenging to put into words. There are many factors that influences who we are as an individual or as a part of a group. Generally speaking I believe we all wear several masks that portray us in different ways according to our settings and who we are around. Ever since I was able to get allowances and old enough to work, I invested in cameras in order to capture the various aspects of my life. I always thought I would reflect back on them to describe the moments, where I was in my life and my views during those moments. I could describe myself as many things; an outgoing, shy, caring, loyal, trustworthy, kind, an altruistic and conscientious person and etc. These are the ways I view myself, while others might have a different prospective of me. Gazing through the six pictures of myself reflects my perceived self-control, self-concept and self-presentation at the different stages within my life.
