Month: May 2025

What am I good at? I am a great observer. I am able to quickly analyze what is going on around me, pick up on positive or negative vibes coming from the room, and read people and body language. I can identify inconsistencies and redundancies in the workplace that make work less efficient for everyone involved. Lastly, I am a good listener. I want to listen to details and offer my knowledge and feedback if that is what the person is looking for. I am a problem-solver and like to help navigate complex situations.

What do I value? I value my reputation in a professional sense and my integrity. I want people around me to trust me and feel comfortable coming to me in any situation that arises. I value peace in my life and do not like to feel stressed out over things I am unable to control, on the other hand, I also do not like to feel like I have completely lost control of the things going on in my life because it makes me anxious which, in turn, disrupts my peace.

How did I get here? I got here by focusing on goals that I put in my life, I focused on schoolwork to help me build my future, and I focused on my family. I put effort into being the best version of myself, and gaining knowledge I needed to build a better future and peace in life. I practiced self-care and listened/learned in situations that required my undivided attention.

Where am I going? The only way I plan on going is up. I am almost finished with school, I have a good career, and I plan to use my knowledge to the best of my ability, while still learning everyday. I want to move up until I am fulfilled in life and completely happy and comfortable with where I end up. I plan to grow with what life throws at me, and use everything as a teaching moment to keep my trajectory moving upward.

According to the Enneagram test results (long version), I am a type 1 personality, and taking into consideration wings I am a 1w2. As a type 1 personality, I am labeled as “The Reformer- perfectionists, responsible, fixated on improvement.” These are people who are looking to make things better, as they think nothing is ever quite good enough. A person who wants to reform and improve, and desire to make order out of the chaos. They have a fine eye for detail and are always aware of flaws in themselves and others triggering their need to improve on those flaws. Type 1 is generally driven and ambitious, practical people who want to get things done. Type 1 is often intelligent and independent and primarily of action and not just thought. They have multiple interests and talents however; they are self-reliant and seldom run out of things to do. Ones tend to worry and are prone to anxiety

The wing of my personality labels me “The Helper- helpers who need to be needed.” This wing feels worthy and helpful to others, selflessness is a duty, and giving to others is their reason for being. Involved, socially aware, and go the extra mile to help out co-workers, spouse, or friend in need.

Strengths for a type 1 personality that would be beneficial for a potential employer would be a conscientious and ethical leader, with a strong sense for right and wrong. I would be an ideal candidate as a leader, teacher, and advocate for change to benefit the company. I would be well-organized, orderly, and maintain high standards. What I would value from my team would be improvement, honesty, accountability, and responsibility in the daily work they perform.

Weakness for type 1 personality that could be a deterrent for potential employers would be that I might slip into a routine as a perfectionist if I am not open minded to different standards. This perfectionist persona can lead to impatience and resentment from repressed anger and frustration with myself and others. I am always trying to improve and make things better, therefore always on the go and not always willing to share my concerns or feelings in the best way.

I believe this test characterizes my personality accurately. As a leader in finance for a clinic, I feel the need to lead my team as well as have the empathy to help others and make other feel seen or heard. I am careful not to be close-minded about different ideas and different ways of succeeding. I do not believe all type 1 personalities will cross over into the area of ‘perfectionist’ leading to potential weaknesses, and I am aware of weaknesses I have.
