All About Me Biography

My cohort is Generation Z. People in this generation were born in the mid 90's and the 2000's. I was born in 2005 which means I grew up in the 2010's. This generation grew up in the rise of the technology era. My mother is an immigrant from South Korea and moved here when she was 9 years old. Her family immigrated to Hollywood and were working class. My dad was born and raised in Kentucky. His family was working class as well. I grew up in a lower-middle class household in Glendale, California. My family focuses a lot on my mom's culture (South Korean). Me and my sister both speak Korean fluently and we often times will cook traditional Korean food at home.

 Personality Test Assignment

1. What is your personality type and what area do you fall under?

I got INFJ-T which is the advocate. It is in the diplomats area.

2. How do you feel about your results? Are the results accurate? Why or why not?

I feel like to me this personality type is very accurate. It describes my personality and what I stand for and believe in.  Advocates are soft-spoken yet very strongly opinionated, which I believe is very true. I am quite soft-spoken, but if there is a topic I am passionate about I could talk about it for hours and share my opinion. Advocates are strong-willed but do not use this trait for personal gain. I like to think this is true because it is never my intent to do something out of the selfish desires of my own heart, I strive to do things to help other people. People with this personality type are creative and imaginative which I think is quite accurate. I always try to imagine things before trying them and that is my way of seeing if it will work. I like to create new things even if it is hard at times. Advocates can easily make connections with people. I think I have quite a lot of empathy which helps me understand people better, hence forming a closer connection or bond. One of the advocates weaknesses is being too sensitive to criticism which is absolutely true, I am a very sensitive person, especially when I am criticized and it sometimes gets in the way of my work or other important things that I should be worrying about. Another weakness is perfectionism which is true. I take too much time to make things perfect because it will bother me if they’re not, this ends up wasting a lot of my time. When it comes to relationships it says that advocates are more for serious in-depth relationships. I find this extremely accurate for me because I’m not one to blindly pick a partner, I want a relationship to have meaning and I want to be able to find someone I am comfortable with and who shares the same values and principles as me. Friendships are almost the same as romantic relationships. I tend to not make friends just to talk too, I would call those more acquaintances. I like to build friendships with people I trust and am able to have serious and fun times with, I want to have a deep connection that could last a lifetime and I want our interests and views to be similar. For parenthood, it says that advocates want to raise their children to be good people. I feel as a parent this would be one of my biggest priorities. I want my child and/or children to be good people that others enjoy being around and I want them to be happy with themselves and the things they have accomplished in life. Advocates want to find a career path where they could connect with people. I have always wanted to be a teacher and I think that it is a career path where it is very important to have connections with people. It says that advocates have high demands when it comes to the work environment. I set pretty high standards for myself while working, a lot of the times I set ones that I cannot achieve. I want to be able to get the job done and I want to do it well. However, I will not push my beliefs and work habits on others, everyone has their own ways of getting their work done and I respect that. I feel I definitely relate to how passionate, empathetic, and the amount of integrity advocates have. I want to have morals that benefit other people, I want to help other others as best as I can. I am very passionate in the things I believe and my morals and principles are so important to me. I want to hold a sense of integrity so I know what my goals in life are and that I am able to follow the set of rules I made for myself in order to achieve those goals.

3. How will you use these results to improve your life or make future life decisions?

I will use these results to try and push myself to be more like an advocate and help other people.

<COPY & PASTE PERSONALITY TEST RESULTS HERE>

The Advocate personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers. These individuals are capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact.

People with this personality type tend to see helping others as their purpose in life. Advocates can often be found engaging in rescue efforts and doing charity work. However, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all.

Reflection

Statement # best describes me because: I think “I genuinely enjoy being with children", and I often find myself being the “activity organizer” whenever I’m around a group of children, best describes me because I really do like working with kids.

Statement # least describes me because: I think “I am able to work independently as well as part of a team” least describes me because I really do not like working in teams even though I will do it if I have to.

I believe statement # describes the most important quality a teacher should have because: I think “I easily relate to children and adolescents", and "I am comfortable engaging them in conversation” is the most important quality because teachers need to understand their students and always be there for them when someone from home isn’t able to provide that help for them.
