I often hear the questions, what is your MBTI? And every time I watch an interview they always ask for it. So I got curious and searched it online, that is where I found out what it is all about. MBTI or Myers–Briggs Type Indicator Personality Test is a test to determine what kind of personality you have. It will help to somehow know yourself more and why you acted that way. 

As you can see in the picture above, that is the result of me taking the 16 personalities test or MBTI. Upon knowing the result I was so shocked because somehow it fits my personality. The result shows that I am a Consul (ESFJ-T). Having this kind of personality means that they are very caring, social, community-minded people who are eager to help. They take their responsibility seriously in order for them to give back, help others, and fulfill the task they were assigned. That they judge or make decisions not only for themselves but also for others. They consider what others will feel of the actions they made. Building relations with other people is important for them because they are  making sure that everyone will belong and not left behind.  

In which this description fits me perfectly because I care a lot for people whom I love just like my family and friends. I always make sure that they're okay and ask them if they are safe. When it comes to responsibilities, I always make sure that I fulfill all of them because I don't want people to be disappointed. And also I want to make sure that everything is align to the plan because I am a type of person who is likely to be organized from the plan to execution. I'm also a perfectionist when it comes to project and group work. In terms of my emotions, it has been on my mind that every time I make a decision or plan I always think about what others will feel. I will consider if the decision made was okay for them so that if ever they don't like it I can analyze a solution. Moreover, I'm also observant. For example, if I sense that you are not in the mood and you don't want to talk to me, I will let you alone for the meantime. Being an ESFJ-T it is not just talking about how responsible and caring I am but also I am also sensitive to stress and consciousness, which somehow I need to change because too much stress is not good for health. That too much consciousness in everything I do will just lead me to fear of failing and not of success. And worst  even in a small problem I'm making myself stressed to the point I can't control my feelings. 

MBTI TEST RESULT

As I took the MBTI test, or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I felt like I didn’t completely know myself. Back in junior high school, one of my friends asked me to take the MBTI test to learn about my personality. So I took the test, and the result showed that I was an ESFJ at that time. For a long period, I believed that I was an extrovert, also because this is how my friends identify me before. They also thought I was extroverted because I could easily get along with people, even if it was our first meeting. We all relied on this as the reason to identify my personality as extroverted. However, as time went by, the results changed.

This is only my second time taking the personality test, and it showed ISTP-A, with the first indicator showing that I am 51% introverted—quite different from the result I received in junior high school. I even took the test three times, thinking I might have skipped some parts or misunderstood the questions, but the result remained the same. However, after reading the analysis, I feel like this description fits me better.

I believe that the change in results indicates a development in my personality. It doesn't have to be seen in a negative way; rather, it suggests that I have gained more self-awareness and life experiences, which contributed to this shift in the results.

HERE ARE THE RESULTS UPON TAKING THE MBTI TEST:

51% Introverted: I prefer to be alone sometimes, avoiding social interactions because they can be draining for me. However, spending time with my friends helps me recharge, especially when it’s a smaller, more intimate group.

75% Observant: I pay more attention to the real and useful aspects of life because I am more observant than intuitive. I prefer not to take action based on information that I don't fully understand or know. This is something that I think will be useful to me in the future.

53% Thinking: I felt that this aspect of myself was both a strength and a weakness. I became aware that sometimes I would ignore someone's feelings in favor of focusing too much on the objectives and the outcome. I'll figure out how to achieve a balance on this.

79% Prospecting: I'm flexible and can easily adjust to a new environment. This aspect, in my opinion, will be helpful to me, but it will also present challenges when I have to incorporate it into a routine or long-term plan.

I've never considered starting a business because I've never felt motivated by anyone or anything. However, seeing some of my friends run their own businesses amazed me and gave me hope that maybe I could do the same one day. I wonder how they manage to run a business and continue their studies at the same time. Still, I'm hopeful that I can be like them someday.

HERE'S THE RESULT OF MY BERKELEY INNOVATION INDEX TEST:

The picture shows that my personal innovation mindset level is 64.64 out of 100, indicating that my innovation mindset is not yet fixed. However, this also means that there is room for improvement and growth.

This is my analysis and recommendations:

TRUST 47.33 - This component has the lowest score. This indicate that I do not easily trust people that it takes time to build this which is needed in a business. This also suggests that trust is a significant factor in business success, particularly in the world of innovation where collaboration with others is often involved, making trust a crucial part of the process.

RESILIENCE 65.0 - Resilience is essential in the world of innovation where things are not sure on whether it will go in my way or it will turn upside down. My score indicates me that I am there but I still need a slight push to really be there. It also indicates that my failures should not be a hindrance on taking another chance, I will set it as a lesson to avoid making the same mistakes that make me failed.

DIVERSITY: 62.5 - I got a score of 62.5 which I believe is fairly high enough. It indicates that I am open to new ideas from different perspective because I believe that we can learn things from each other.

BELIEF: 65.33 - Belief in one's own ideas and abilities is necessary to influence others and and find motivation to overcome obstacles. I got a score of 65.33 which indicates that I am confident in my ideas and abilities, that I can motivate someone to overcome challenges in life. Also, there's still a need to improve in this component.

ALLOCATION: 70.0 - I got a score of 70.0 which is high enough. This indicates that I know when to focus on perfection and when to allow good enough to be good enough to have an optimal balance of resources.

COLLABORATION: 65.0 - I always share my ideas when I have one. Especially when I think that my ideas could be helpful to my collaborators.

COMFORT ZONE: 70.0 - Having a wide comfort zone is correlated with growth mindset is necessary for a person to grow, adapt, and innovate. I got a score of 70.0 which is second to the highest score among other components. That indicates that I have comfort zone that helps me to grow adapt and innovate.

I always say to myself that I don't see taking the path on having a business because simply I don't like it. No other reason, no other bases, not at all but I do appreciate other people who indulge themselves in this kind of business. Since we are in the technology era, a lot of innovation has been introduced to solve people's problems. But when a technopreneurship course was introduced to me, our instructor told us to take a test in which you will know how innovative your mind is. The test is called the Berkeley Innovation Index Test, in which it helps me somehow to understand  why I don't like involving myself in this kind of path. 

As you can see in the picture attached, it is the result after I take the Berkeley Innovation test. The overall score I got was 66.94 out 100 indicating that my innovation mindset is not fixed. In regards to the analysis of each component from the test, the result are the following along with my insights:

TRUST the score I got  is 63.33. I realize that it is so hard for me to trust other people when it comes to their integrity and action . I always think that the motive for approaching me is not genuine and there is a bad intention. That they approached me not because they wanted to know who I am but to use me for their benefits. In business it is not a good way of thinking because you have to trust your people as they are the ones who worked for you and the information about your business will be shared with them. If there is a doubt inside you, how will you work peacefully? 

RESILIENCE the score I got is 85.0. It shows that I am taking failure as opportunities and I don`t just give up just because I'm having that kind of challenge. That I always see success in any problem I encounter. And that understanding and accepting failure as part in my personal and professional growth. That in every failure I will have in my journey there is always learning that I will use for me  to grow and be better in both aspects in my life. 

The score I got in DIVERSITY is 75.0.  I always interact with other people no matter what personality they have. I always listen to what`s on their mind; ideas and opinions on a specific topic. Because I believe that the information you can get from them can help you to have more understanding and ideas. Also more diverse people can create a big network and connection. 

BELIEF the score I got is 78.0. I somehow believe one`s idea and abilities since it's their right to share what they have. It's just that I am that kind of person that sometimes I doubt them especially if I can see that the idea they have is not inline to what the topic is talking about. Also for myself, I always have that doubt if I can do that task in which I'm the one leading. Even Though I accept failure, I cannot erase the fear of failing. And maybe that is one of the factors I cannot see myself starting a business because my belief will be overcome by fear. 

The score I got in ALLOCATION is 85.0. It indicates that somehow I know where the right time to find resources is. And maybe it is because of the connections I build by joining other groups and creating a connection with them. That allows me to get resources when I need to that would help my project or event. 

In COLLABORATION the score I got is 67.5. I am a person who likes to collaborate with other people but sometimes there is a restriction I have in myself especially if I am not comfortable. I like to have a forum with other people because it enables me to share my ideas and opinions on a given topic. But sometimes belonging to a wide group makes me shy because I also don't like talking with a lot of people. It makes me nervous and uncomfortable, which leads me to keep quiet and becomes a barrier for me to socialize more with other people. One of the reasons why my score in the COMFORT ZONE is 61.67.
