In the Keirsey Temperament Test, my personality type was called “Guardian.” Guardians are known to have lifelong loyal mates and friends, very dependable, disciplined, and meticulous. They are not good at “going with the flow,” but thrives in structured schedules and daily routines. I honestly felt like I was reading about my own personal descriptions. Explanations of Guardian personality suited me perfectly.
My score for the Self-Esteem Test was 100 out of 100 points. Scoring high on Self-Esteem test means one knows how to interpret other people’s perspectives very well. One also realizes that empathy is the vital key to have a good interpersonal skill. Personally, I agree with the scores, because I genuinely believe that empathy is the essence of life. Trying to view this world through other people’s perspectives help me to understand them better and communicate in eye-to-eye level.
For Assertiveness Test, my score was 92 out of 100. High scores on Assertiveness Test means that one has an ability to freely speak for oneself. The person does not hesitate in addressing issues to others even if he/she has to disagree with the other people. I strongly agree with these statements. When I am treated poorly at restaurants or other places, I do not hesitate to let the owner or manager know. I find myself expressing my opinions freely rather than hiding.
For the Leadership Aptitude quiz my score was 15 out of 30 meaning that my leadership potential is high. Two of my close friends took the quiz and their scores were 17/30 and 18/30.

The person takes mistakes as stepping stones to grow stronger and actively work with others to improve oneself. For me, I do have trouble accepting my mistakes at first, but I usually learn to grow from it. My friends and coworkers often describe me as an accountable person and my leadership skills are high.
