Easily bored
This could help me in a career that requires interaction with others, and it is a very useful skill to have because I can make friends easily, so if I went to a university where I did not know anyone, it would not be hard for me to socially adapt to the new people. At school I really find a lot of joy in talking to other people and I find it easy to start a conversation with anyone at school, which helps me make new connections.
As an entertainer personality type, I apply my own personal nuances to whatever I do and try to stand out from the crowd. This is because I really like to put on a show and perform for people.
My creative side connects to some of the things that I like to do in my spare time, such as singing and dancing. these are things that really make me happy and creating things excites me.
My personality also connects to my interests, like fashion and I really like to explore different styles and clothes which is super fun for me to be creative. My personal project connected to my love of fashion as well, which stems from my personality of being creative and embracing originality.
Sensitive
I am emotionally sensitive as well as sensitive and observant to the environment around me. Sometimes my emotions can get the best of me, but I usually can manage to get a hold of myself. I am sometimes vulnerable to criticism, which makes it hard for me to take feedback.
the personality test declared that this is an entertainer's biggest weakness, but for me, I am actually not that sensitive or turbulent with my own emotions. I am sensitive at times, which also allows me to feel empathy for other people, but I do not really find myself in times when I am totally controlled by emotion.
This emotional side of me and my emotional awareness could lead me to a career dealing with emotion, like a therapist or an HR person at a company.
I really like new things and doing different things all the time and I require a lot of stimulation in order to be satisfied. The personality test was very accurate with this weakness for me.
This connects to my learning at school and how I like hands on, physical work to help me understand the best, Also, I excel more in tests rather than projects extended over a long period of time because I can get tired and bored of something and lose motivation to do it.
This also connects to how I like trying and doing many different things. I do a wide range of extracurriculars including different sports like badminton, tennis and skiing as well as volunteering, teaching kids and participating in different clubs at school.
This personality trait of mine could shape the career I go into, because I would be more likely to do something where everyday has different tasks at hand and I would not lose focus on doing my work.

I am motivated by setting goals and I usually take initiative to reach them, but I typically do not go out of my way to go beyond the goals and deadlines set.
Self Aware
I know myself very well and I am usually able to manage myself, my actions and my emotions in ways that satisfy the environment I am in and the people I am with. I also trust my gut and my judgement well, which is another result of my personality's self-awareness.
For example, I am easily able to know what kind of version of myself to be showing to the world at different times. I would act differently when hanging around with my friends than at a job interview than in a classroom.
Empathetic
I am an emotional person, so when hearing another person's story, I am easily able to feel what they feel and put myself in their shoes.

Empathy helps me support my friends and other people in my community and I think that it is a really important quality to have. It can help you socially and professionally because it helps you to understand people better, which will help me make better connections to people which could lead to a more successful career. In a workplace where I would interact with clients, empathy will help me to satisfy their needs by understanding them first.
Adaptable
I can easily adapt to new situations and am comfortable in many different environments. I am flexible and able to do different things
this is demonstrated in my love for jumping into new things and taking different opportunities. Being able to adapt into different situations well will help me through hard times in the future. Taking different opportunities is something I am very comfortable with and I feel like by taking chances it could lead me to new people and places I never could have thought of reaching

Because I have a very high emotional intelligence, my weakness is my emotions. I sometimes struggle managing rushes of emotions, but I still am able to control my impulses and I can still think before I act.

If you cannot read the screenshot inserted, this test showed my strongest intelligence to be social intelligence. It says that I have good interpersonal skills, can communicate well, I work well with a group and I am a good listener.
My strongest suit is social intelligence which I believe is true and I exemplify this every day at school socializing with other people. I think I have good leadership and collaboration skills because I can communicate well and clearly to other people.
Social intelligence could help me a lot in the future because I will be able to learn well from listening to and working with others. This will help me become the best version of myself and have the most successful career.
The second strongest intelligence I possess is kinesthetic intelligence. I am athletic, and like to move my body and I work and learn the most by using hands on methods.
This connects to some of my favourite past times which are sports. I like to play a lot of different sports to stay healthy as well as to get moving and have fun. I like to run, spin, work out, play tennis, play badminton, ski, swim, dance and many more. All of these are ways I enjoy myself and de-stress.
The intelligence that I lack the most is musical. This is true because I do not really play instruments or sing anymore and do not have interest in learning any new instruments right now.
some things I could do to improve this intelligence are to listen to more music, sing more often and play or learn to play new instruments.
another challenge this test told me I have is intrapersonal (self) intelligence. This makes sense because I am not much of a daydreamer and I also prefer to spend time with other people rather than being alone.
This aligns to all of the other tests which say that I am socially strong, since this is the opposite, my extrovert personality will affect how I think and how I handle myself and being alone. I really enjoy being social and so I rarely have a lot of time on my own.
this test informed me that I am able to work well with others and I enjoy company of other people and I am motivated to please them and get along with them. This is true to me because I really like working with people, learning from them and spending time around others.
This test told me about how I learn the best, which is either with or from other people and also I learn very well kinesthetically.
In the classroom I will try to encourage my learning in a group, so a study group could help my learning a lot I think.
Learning with tools like labs, demonstrations and ways that incorporate movement and real life scenarios into concepts really helps me solidify my understanding of ideas, which is something I can apply to my courses.

Spirituality

Perseverance
another one of my least strong traits was perseverance, it said I would give up easily but I do not really think this is true. Usually I try at something until I achieve my goal.
