“Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle”
Napoleon

As a student, one thing I realized after assessing myself through number of personality
tests is that these self-assessment tests help me a lot in assessing my performance. By
learning about my weaknesses through these tests it will help me generating positive
skill set to be professionally competent in career. As a learner I realized that these
personality assessment tests are a progressive way understand my own behavior. By
combining the results of different tests, I realized that I have type A personality. I used
to be a quiet, conservative and reserved individual during the early period of my
university education. But with the passage of time i I have seen a shift in myself from
reserved to assertive by keeping an open mind when it came to learning. As a learner
now, I know how to organize myself to meet the deadlines accomplish my goals but at
the same time I don’t put an extra effort to be at the top of list in anything. I considered
myself a keen learner because whenever I came across a new thing or task, I feel
enthusiastic to know more about that. In support of my self-assessment trait of a keen
learner, I try my best to read books and research online regarding the new concept or
information. I learned a lot from my experiences as well. As a professional, I worked
with number of originations as an employee, volunteer, intern and as an ambassador.
By playing a different role in each situation and under different work requirements I
faced many difficulties, and these experiences helped me in making my self flexible and
adaptable to any situation.
After analyzing the results of number of personality tests, I listed the number of
strengths and weaknesses that prevails in my personality.

Strengths
1. Honesty and Integrity
I have developed some moral and ethical principles for myself. I tried to keep myself in
limits and boundaries. I believed that as a true human being with certain standards for
myself it is my responsibility to stay true and honest to people in my daily affairs. By
staying honest and true to others I feel myself straightforward and consider it a strength
in personality.

2. Self-Assurance
As a student and professional, I consider myself confident because of the knowledge
that I possess, professional experience and presentation skills. While working as an
employee and ambassador I used to deal with the number of audiences that helped me
a lot in dealing with the audience while remaining confident. I used to get positive
feedback about my presentations and my dealings with the people.

3. Communication
Communication is one of the major strengths that I have, although I need a lot
improvement in communication trait but still, I am able to convey my message properly
and clearly to my team members or my colleagues. I feel that I need some improvement
in this trait cause of the fact that to be the successful leader you need to communicate
your message properly to followers or team members.

4. Determination and Passion

My area of strength is my drive to and determination to complete anything I start and my
willingness to keep preserving. I always try to stay committed to whatever I planned to
do. Well, environment and working conditions plays a major role in keeping you
motivated and determined. During a task or in group work I try to keep the environment
friendly as much ass possible so that others can stay determined as well.

5. Decision Making
I have the ability to take the right decision at the right time. Right decision making at
right time gives me huge sense individual achievements and fulfilment in many
situations. I never really hurried in making decisions. I take a time before reaching to
any decision and then stick to my decisions most of the time.

6. Humor
I consider sense of humor as my strength because humor allows you to elevate and
explore rather than hide your feelings. Humor doesn't dismiss a subject but instead
often opens up for discussion, especially when the subject is one that is not considered
fit for public discussion.
 7. Trustworthiness
I am respectful towards people feelings and emotions. My friends and colleagues feel
easy and confident to share anything with me because of trustworthiness factor.
Trustworthy people respect themselves and others, too. I believe that respect is to be
given to every human being and don't use humiliation tactics to show disrespect to
others. I am trustworthy and being respected by people as well because of good
manners and strong values.

8. Creativity
I am creative in my approach toward thigs and processes. I tried to be innovative and
creative by adopting a new approach. I believe that a person never content with doing
something the conventional way if a better way is possible. My creative way of doing
things helps me a lot in daily life situations. I always look for the alternatives or
substitute for the problem solution.

Weaknesses
 Writing skills
 Time management
 Impatience
 Absent minded while tensed
 Addictive
 Emotionally weak
 Obsessive
 Too much optimistic
 Somewhat egoistic

After analyzing the results obtained from personality tests, I found out these
weaknesses in my personality. One of the major weakness that affects me a lot is that
my writing skills are not professional. I can communicate effectively verbally and
symbolically, but I am to some extent weaker in communicating through writing. I also
lack the ability to manage time because of the fact that I used to complete the work at
the last time. That’s why at the extreme deadline it becomes difficult for me to manage
time accordingly. I have improved a lot in managing time but still need some
improvement. Obsession with persons, things place is another weakness of mine. I am
over possessive about my things that make me somewhat egoistic and arrogant. I am
emotionally not strong enough to handle every thing in different situations. I consider
this my weakness, cause to be successful leader, one should be emotionally strong
enough to keep his composure and calm in tense environment. I am positive towards
everything and ignore the negative traits in others. I am also optimistic about the future
and thinks that time will solve everything. This personality trait of mine sometimes
makes me unconscious about the issues in my surrounding. I need to overcome this
weakness in order to critically understand my surroundings.

How will I overcome my weaknesses?

 By accepting my weaknesses
 By getting guidance from someone I trust
 Preparing my self for trials
 Looking for others suffering same problem and taking their opinions.
Overcoming weaknesses is a door to success, as it not only allows one to make the
areas of strengths stronger but also aids in changing the weaknesses into strengths,
while it helps to unlock one's potential, so that it may be used to its fullest making one a
successful person in every aspect of life.
