Me, Myself and I (SOMD ~ Wk 8)

This week has been all about discovering more about ourselves. At the end of last week, we did four personality tests (Myers-Briggs, DISC, Strength Finders, and Motivational Gifts) and this week, Sheron, our speaker, expanded on the the different results of these tests.

I loved this week because I think it is important to be secure in my identity if I want to continue to do the Lord's work. If I have no clue who I am, then I have no business telling others who they are. I love these test because they aren't meant to put ourselves in a box, but they help me explain who I am in words I wouldn't have been able to myself. Its has helped me get to know my friends better, learning how different results of these tests complement each other. It has also has shown me that it is important to surround myself with those different me because we all have special giftings that come with our individuality. Learning to champion each others is important. God made us all unique and we should be proud to embrace who he made us.

We presented our test results to our entire class to help
us sum up what we have learned this week. All my results are below. 

Here are my results, in case you are curious! I've summarized the results in my own words based on how I feel it applies to me. 😀

Myers- Briggs:
Extrovert- means I am energized by being with others rather than alone
Sensing- I like to gather information based on the facts, aka my five senses
Feeling- I make decisions based on how I feeling
Perceiving- I am super flexible and don't really need a schedule to run my life

Spiritual Gifts:
Exhorter- I naturally like to encourage others
Serving- I naturally like to tangibly bless others

DISC:
Influencer- I value relationships and am open and accepting of others. It also mentioned a love for talking.  I thought that was funny because it's true! 😂

Strength Finders: (I've wanted to do this test for so long, so I am so happy we had a chance to do this one this week!)
1) Adaptability- flexible; lives in the moment
2) Includer- a love for equality; accepting of everyone; not wanting anyone to feel left out
3) Positivity- encourager; sees the bright side of life
4) Developer- sees potential in others; challenges others to rise up in success
5) Input- collector of information

All my results involved my love for other people in one way or another. Sheron shared what each of our "worst nightmares" would be depending on our MB results and mine was "You are stuck in a room by yourself for the rest of eternity." Yup, that sounds like a nightmare to me!!!

I'd love to know more about your results on these tests, if you've done them before!
