Based on the results from the personality profile test, I am an independent and strong person externally but internally I am very insecure and worrisome. I would agree and say that this is very accurate in a sense. One character trait that stood out and seems to be the most accurate would be, “You have a great need for other people to like and admire you.” I have a tendency to be very protective and caring towards my loved ones and even change the way I act around people just to leave a good impression. I love to make new friends and to avoid as much conflict as possible. It also says that at times I am social and extroverted while at other times I can be reserved and introverted. I do not agree with this because even if I am going through something in the inside I never let my emotions show. I always keep a positive energy around my peers.

Another fact the test revealed was how critical I am of myself. I give myself a very hard time because I look at people around and see how well they are doing instead of focusing on my own success. The results said that I have a great deal of unused capacity that I have not yet taken advantage of. I know that I am not living up to my full potential mostly because I worry that I will fail. I have a tendency to second guess myself and doubt my abilities. I just never go with gut feeling on things for some strange reason and it always leaves me wrong. I need to learn how to follow my instincts and intuition or I will end up losing in the end. That’s something that the results also revealed about myself.
