Basically, that means I\u2019m someone who\u2019s really focused on setting goals, working hard, and trying to succeed at whatever I\u2019m doing. I also read that it means that I like to be validated in what I accomplish and I can agree with that. The \u201cwing 2\u201d part adds a helpful and people-focused side to my personality, so I also care a lot about others and want to be liked. My strongest instinct was the social one, which means I\u2019m pretty tuned into the group type of dynamics and how I fit into different social settings. I like being part of a team and tend to pay attention to how I\u2019m seen by others. This aligns with my post graduate career moving into Targets management team where I will get to work with hundereds of people a day. It all felt pretty accurate, especially the part about being motivated by recognition and always wanting to improve. I definitely push myself and like to be seen as capable, both in school and at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will an Employer be satisfied?:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an employer saw these results, I think they\u2019d see a lot of positives. I\u2019m motivated, I like working toward goals, and I\u2019m always trying to do better. I\u2019d bring a lot of energy and effort to a team, and since I care about how I\u2019m seen, I\u2019d probably be extra driven to do a good job. The Type 2 wing also shows I like helping people and being supportive, which can make me a good team player. On the flip side, one weakness might be that I care a little too much about how others see me. I can get caught up in trying to look successful instead of just being real. I also might push myself too hard sometimes and could be seen as a flaw. But overall, I think employers would see me as someone who works hard, wants to grow, and tries to lift up the people around me too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Results: I took the Enneagram personality test and got Type 3, also known as \u201cThe Achiever,\u201d with a 3w2 wing.
