 Locate one specific past experience when one these weaknesses caused
interpersonal conflict, stress, discomfort or challenge in a professional context. Do
you have more clarity about that specific past experience after now knowing yourself
better? Give details.
 How can you strengthen some of your weaknesses in the Mental Wealth

[My best identity characteristic score is extroversion. I scored 67 percentile

in extraversion. I am a social and outgoing individual. Be that as it may, I
would not say I like huge parties or places where there is slight individual
contact or discourse. For illustration, when I was youthful, my family was
exceptionally included in nearby government and were required to go to
capacities as a family. After the occasion, individuals would accumulate for
refreshments. At this point, I would meander off spend time with the
caretaker and his family, who lived within the building. We became very near
companions. This appears the exciting structure of my outgoing personal
identity, and I ought to be genuine in my connections. In my grown-up a long
 time, I still would or maybe be within the kitchen or supporting the individuals
putting on the party instead of blending with huge crowds. As an outgoing
person, I like to share my news with somebody. If I cannot convert to
anybody due to keeping certainty or time of day, I like to require a minute to
gather my considerations. I, by and large, sit unobtrusively and reflect on the
news and attempt a few calming hot drinks. I can either discover it
challenging to talk about issues with other individuals or become very chatty
around an issue to undertake to create a sense of it. To overcome these
sentiments, I channel my vitality into understanding or inquiring about the
issue. Outgoing people appreciate being with individuals and are regularly
seen as full of vitality. I tend to be eager, action-oriented, and likely to say
“yes!” or “let us go!” to openings for fervor. The Enormous Five Identity Test
was valuable for evaluating my identity and my qualities and shortcomings. I
was not astounded at the comes about of my test-taking. I note that my
qualities offer a solid establishment for being a great representative and
working with the open.]

[In the agreeableness category, I scored a 52 “indicating concern for others’

needs, but, by and large unwillingness to give up yourself for others.”
Concurring to this test, I am exceptionally agreeable and reliable but not
thoughtful. With Agreeableness, I positioned at 52 percentile with the
portrayal of good-natured, respectful, and steady. Being my pleasing self, I
concur with this evaluation. I have a shared fondness for sympathy and
sympathy with others. Agreeableness may be a tendency to be
compassionate and agreeable instead of suspicious and adversarial towards
others. The characteristic reflects personal differences in general concern
for social agreement. I prefer to be large obliging, inviting, liberal, supportive,
and willing to compromise my interface with others. I accept individuals are
essentially fair, conventional, and reliable. Agreeable people are likeable
and get along well with others. They are also less likely to get mad when
people treat them unfairly. Agreeableness Illustrates how much an individual
cares about almost others; I score a seven, which could be a direct score.
Essentially identities make us who we are. In life, we will meet individuals
with identities that will clash with our own, whereas a few will have to adjust.
Identities might begin to be a certain way and turn out another. The
magnificence of life is that we all have diverse identities and are all
interesting in our way. Envision everybody having the same identity. It would
be a lovely boring world.]

[ On Conscientious, I rank exceptionally High– 95%. I, too, concur with this

situation. I am well-organized and dependable. I feel that this portion of my
identity weighs down my openness to modern encounters. I’m exceptionally
cautious and calculated, taking care to urge things right. Individuals who
score tall on conscientious characteristics tend to be more composed and
less cluttered in their homes and workplaces. For case, my books tend to be
flawlessly retired in sequential order, arrange, or categorized by subject
instead of scattered around the room. My dress tends to be collapsed and
orchestrated in drawers or closets rather than lying on the floor. The
nearness of organizers and to-do records are, moreover, signs of principles.
My homes tend to have way better lighting than the homes of individuals
who are moo on this characteristic. conscientious are being organized,
orderly, reliable, accomplishment situated, and reliable. Scrupulous
individuals can be anticipated on how tall their execution will be. They, too,
are more likely to begin their possess commerce. This paper makes a
difference for me to analyze mine possess individual behavior depending on
huge five identity characteristic models. It has been found that unforgiving
behavior can demotivate adherents. On the opposite, neighborly conduct
and chatty nature can offer assistance to persuade adherents. This
exposition moreover makes a difference to get it that openness can
increment imagination. In arrange to extend imagination, it is required to
think approximately an issue or situation differently. An individual should

3
 attempt to inquire questions differently to himself. To be imaginative,
individuals got to keep finding unused depictions of that issue and permitting
their memory to discover more data that might offer assistance to illuminate
it.]

[On Openness to Experience/Intellect, I positioned at the 51 percentile to

portray that I don’t ordinarily look for out modern encounters. Openness is
being inquisitive, mental, unique, imaginative, and open to new thoughts.
Open individuals are profoundly spurred to memorize unused aptitudes and
are profoundly versatile to alter. They are moreover more likely to begin their
claim commerce. I would concur with this evaluation. Whereas I am, to some

4
 degree, imaginative, I am no craftsman. It takes me more time to do
something inventive than something explanatory, but I still like to be
inventive at an event. Openness may be a shared appreciation for
craftsmanship, feeling, enterprise, bizarre thoughts, creative energy,
interest, and an assortment of involvement. Individuals who are open to
encounter are savvy, inquisitive, grateful of craftsmanship, and delicate to
magnificence. They tend to be, compared to closed individuals, more
imaginative and more mindful of their sentiments. They are more likely to
hold offbeat convictions. This paper makes a difference for me to analyze
