PP, Week 1: Personal Skills Profile

After finishing the Ikigai worksheet, we were then told to do 4 quizzes that help us understand ourselves better as a designer and a self-evaluation form.

Quiz 1: What Kind of Designer Are You?

Well yes, I do agree with this quiz result, I can say I'm more comfortable being behind the curtain and don't mind it as well. I like working in a team, but there's always a downside to it, cause you'll never know what the other teammates are like so I actually refrain from it.

Quiz 2: My Creative Type

After the test, the first thing I saw was that pink character and I was speechless. But anyway, I got to agree with what was said in the results. I do enjoy speaking for others in terms of design, it gives me great satisfaction when the message they want successfully gets across to their audiences. But in times, my emotions tend to get the best of me, from the surroundings to the load of work, my emotions will steer my will to design into the dump instantly. The other thing that plays a huge role in my creative process is having the confidence to pitch in ideas, or just standing up for myself is still a challenge for me, and they really grasp that point. It was quite an experience reading through the result, it was overall accurate, I do think of all of them from time to time but never really put them into words, but wow, here's a summary just by doing a quiz.

Quiz 3: What Type of Designer Are You?

What can I say, I like money. But somehow, I wouldn't say I'm that realistic? As the first quiz say I'm a people player, I like building good relationships with people I'm working with, so I'm still likeable hahaha, look at me trying so hard.

Quiz 4: 16 Personalities

This is not the first time I took this test apparently, and each time I took the test I happen to get different personalities result, but the current result as you see is the latest one. And to thought, I got the rarest personality type was like winning a lottery.

Looking through the strengths and weaknesses, I found out that most of them were what I'm striving to become, especially the weaknesses. Wanting to be stronger than I could be, not showing any sign of vulnerability to anyone especially the one closest to you, these are facts.

Self-Evaluation Form

And we're ending the blog with an overall evaluation sheet. Well, I've got to say, it doesn't feel that good when I put the checkmark in the not good box. But at least I did acknowledge where my problems are instead of closing one eye hahaha. Going through the quizzes really does help me understand myself more in moving into a career, and especially knowing the things I can improve on like my time management which is still a struggle for me until today. And to fix the problems I think I can start by executing my plans more efficiently.
