00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,960
Welcome to our podcast, The Why in the 20s.

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:09,960
My name is Viv.

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,960
And I'm Nat.

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,280
We are two counselors in our mid-20s navigating our adulthood away from our home country,

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:22,920
exploring the why questions we encounter relating to relationships, identities, and uncertainties.

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,720
So whether you're listening to our podcast while going for your walk or doing the chores,

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,720
welcome on board and let the journey begin.

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,720
Alrighty!

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,720
Welcome back to another episode of The Why in your 20s!

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,720
Woohoo!

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:44,720
Yay!

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:52,720
I'm very excited of this episode because we are very interested in this topic and we

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,720
can foresee it will be a very interesting episode.

14
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,720
It's a very different pace of talking about death and all that.

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,720
This is a lighter conversation.

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,720
I think it's very interesting.

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,720
I'm very excited.

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,720
You can tell from the opening how enthusiastic we are.

19
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,720
We are so keen.

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Woohoo!

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,720
Anyway, I hope all the audience are well.

22
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,720
Just checking in with you guys.

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,720
And welcome back to another episode.

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,720
Yeah!

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,720
We're very excited because what are we doing today?

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Drum roll!

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Drum roll!

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Personality test!

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,720
Woohoo!

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,720
I think it's just because we're very excited and the audience will be very confused why

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,720
we are so excited for this topic.

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,720
To be honest, I'm not excited about the personality test itself, but more about how we're doing it.

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Yeah.

34
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:55,720
Today, as reference, we are doing the 16 personalities that you can find online.

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Just put it up front that we both are no experts in personality psychology.

36
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,720
Our knowledge is very minimal.

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,720
It's just based on our understanding.

38
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,720
And if you want to know more, there's heaps of research on the website that you can go further deep down.

39
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:18,720
And another thing that I would like to point out is the 16 personalities is not the same as the MBTI.

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,720
The MBTI is more comprehensive, would you say so?

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,720
And of course, you have to pay for it because it's done a lot of research around that.

42
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:33,720
And the reliability and validity is higher than other free personality tests that are available online.

43
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:40,720
But that's also a strength of what the personality test that we're doing today because it's free that everyone can access to it.

44
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,720
So yeah, let's get started, shall we?

45
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,720
Yeah.

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,720
So just before we really get started.

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,720
So the idea today is we're doing a personality test for ourselves.

48
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,720
So determine our own personality as well as we're doing it for each other as well.

49
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,720
So I did the personality test based on how I think Nat will respond.

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,720
And then she did the same for me as well.

51
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,720
So kind of like a twist of the way we do personality tests.

52
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,720
And I'm very excited to see how different or how similar it is.

53
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,720
Yeah. Do you remember when's your first time doing this?

54
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,720
Honestly, I don't remember.

55
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,720
I think the 16 personality tests, I think it was 2019.

56
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,720
2019. That was my first year doing.

57
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,720
Is it at uni or like with friends?

58
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Oh, no, I was just at home.

59
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,720
And I think at the time, a lot of discussion around MBTI personality tests.

60
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,720
And I was just very curious in what I would get and know more about myself as well.

61
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,720
So I just did it in my room.

62
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Wow, I really don't know you that well.

63
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,720
I wouldn't thought you would take the initiative to do so.

64
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,720
I don't know if it's a compliment or insult, but no offense.

65
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Oh, no, no, for sure not. I don't take any as offense.

66
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Yeah.

67
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,720
But you say offensive, but.

68
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,720
For me, it's different. I did at school and at uni.

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:20,720
I mean, I did one in management class because I was doing psychology plus business at the same time.

70
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,720
I did one during my management class and I did one in my psychology class.

71
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,720
And the way that they presented is so different, but we can dive deep into it later.

72
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:40,720
But it's just interesting different faculty or like different school lecturer present the sexist personality differently.

73
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,720
Yeah.

74
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:48,720
And actually, we actually I don't know if you remember, but we actually told each other our personality.

75
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,720
We did. I don't remember.

76
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,720
I don't remember what you got, but I like.

77
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,720
But it was on the trip when we went to Newster.

78
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,720
Remember the moment we went in the accommodation?

79
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,720
We kind of asked each other because we didn't know each other well back then.

80
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,720
Apparently, maybe not until now, but.

81
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,720
Not after the test. The test that I just did.

82
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,720
I'm like, oh, I really don't know this.

83
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,720
Yeah. But then back then, we kind of asked each other what our personality is.

84
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,720
Well, you have good memories. I forgot.

85
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,720
But I don't remember what you said.

86
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,720
I honestly don't remember what you said.

87
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,720
I don't remember the conversation.

88
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,720
I think, yeah, it was interesting when I did the test.

89
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,720
I was like, oh, we actually kind of told each other about it.

90
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,720
It's just that we didn't care enough to remember it, honestly.

91
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,720
But yeah, how did you feel when you were doing the personality test for me?

92
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:54,720
I think the first thought I have is I don't really know Viv that well.

93
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,720
And I feel like she has different personalities to different people.

94
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,720
And I can't just judge based on how she treats me,

95
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,720
but how I see it through my interaction with her.

96
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,720
So, yeah, I'm just I'm just shocked that I actually don't know you that well.

97
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,720
I thought I know you quite well, but apparently not.

98
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:21,720
Yeah. And I think because I'm a more expressive person that I, of course,

99
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,720
and I ramble a lot that I obviously tell everything about myself,

100
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,720
most of the things about myself.

101
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,720
And I think you're more, I don't know, you don't really share much.

102
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,720
You're more a listener than a talker in a group setting, I would say.

103
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:45,720
Yeah. So I thought we were close, but apparently not.

104
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,720
I mean, honestly, knowing each other that well doesn't mean you're close or not.

105
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:56,720
Yeah. And I do agree that when I was in comparison, when I was doing the test for you,

106
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,720
I feel like, oh, you answer this, this, this.

107
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,720
I was pretty sure of most of the questions.

108
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,720
So it's a good contrast of you doing my test and I'm doing yours.

109
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,720
And I think some of the questions within the test is more personal

110
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,720
and like those inner thoughts that you would have.

111
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,720
It's not that observable as I thought it would be.

112
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,720
And I think that ties back to the 16 personality as well.

113
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:34,720
That is not just about the behaviour, but it's about how your brain works, your preference.

114
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,720
And there's a word for it, like the coping method, not the cognitive functions.

115
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Yeah. Yes. But I think it's more than just the behaviour.

116
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,720
As the personality test is useful, the cognitive functions for us,

117
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:57,720
and it's more the internal, your preferences in processing information and interpreting.

118
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,720
So I would say it's a good lesson that I learned or things that I get out of the test when I'm doing it.

119
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,720
Yes, it's not because you behave that way.

120
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,720
So you are this personality. I think that's more than that.

121
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:17,720
For sure. And even if you have the same personality type, it doesn't mean you approach everything similarly.

122
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,720
Yes.

123
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Because honestly, each aspect of it will go through each aspect later, but each aspect have their spectrum.

124
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,720
There's a percentage to it.

125
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,720
So I can't wait. I really can't wait to see what you got for me.

126
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,720
What about we start from you first since you're so excited about it?

127
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,720
Okay, yeah.

128
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,720
Should I tell you my results?

129
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:49,720
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So I actually watched you do the test, but I don't know what she got, the results of it.

130
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:55,720
So I got ISFP-A.

131
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,720
Okay, I didn't get it right. Hey.

132
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,720
No, it's not right. But what are yours?

133
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,720
Okay. ISFP is adventure.

134
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,720
Yeah.

135
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,720
I would say it's actually pretty close. Mine's INFP, assertive.

136
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,720
So assertive mediator.

137
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,720
Can I see the percentage that you have?

138
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:29,720
So for me, the percentage, how about before we actually compare the two, were there any questions that stood out to you within the personality test?

139
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:43,720
The questions that, yeah, it's actually quite a field that stood out to me for say, you are not too interested in discussing various interpretations and analysis of creative works.

140
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,720
So what was the answer? What was the response that you thought?

141
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:55,720
Slightly agree. Because I've never seen you interested in any creative works.

142
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:03,720
It's not this. I feel like it's this. No, yeah, definitely. I, yeah, you're not too interested. Yeah, I completely agree.

143
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,720
Okay. I agree that I'm not interested. I'm not interested in any of them.

144
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,720
Yeah, that's what I thought too. You are the right, yes.

145
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Yeah, so you're not the artistic side.

146
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,720
Yeah, no, definitely not. You know me well.

147
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:24,720
We'll see how it goes. You like books and movies that you make up with your own interpretation of the ending.

148
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:33,720
I say disagree for this. I completely agree with you. I really love open endings. Really?

149
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:39,720
I can interpret. I can make my own interpretation. They don't tell me what's going to happen.

150
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:48,720
Even if the show or movie is close ended, I will still make it open ended and think more about it and create my own ending.

151
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:55,720
Well, I don't know about that. Because my thought is, oh, Viv will be bored to think.

152
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,720
How lazy do you think I am?

153
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,720
Well, that's what you present to me normally. You're like, oh, I don't care.

154
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,720
Yeah, I think that's the thing. Like if I'm with other people, I wouldn't think much about it.

155
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:15,720
But if I'm watching a movie for myself, I would have more time to think about, oh, what does this mean?

156
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:23,720
How do I interpret this kind of thing? So if I'm with other people, definitely I don't really have that time to think.

157
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:33,720
Right. So like, I think that ties back to what we mentioned is not just a behavior, but like if you're with yourself, then can present it differently as well.

158
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:42,720
I think another question that I'm not sure is you think the world would be a better place if people relied more on rationality and less on their feelings.

159
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:50,720
It's a hard question. Yeah, I honestly don't know how would I answer as well. Yeah, I don't either. But I say agree.

160
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,720
I would say like not agree to the extreme, but like yes, slightly agree.

161
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:05,720
I would say so. I would say slightly agree relying on your rationality more than feelings. Yeah, slightly agree, I would say.

162
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:11,720
But at least at this moment, I would say slightly agree. Any other questions that stood out to you?

163
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,720
You rarely feel insecure.

164
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,720
What did you put? I would say agree.

165
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:27,720
It's a hard question. Yeah, I think overall, I agree. Like I don't I don't feel insecure.

166
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:33,720
Because I think that based on the religious belief that you have, I take into account of that.

167
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:42,720
That gives you I think that's how I feel because obviously I wouldn't think you would share your insecurity that often.

168
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,720
As I mentioned, you're more the listener than the conversational.

169
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:56,720
So yeah, but I think it's more the insecure. Yeah, I don't feel like I have a. You gotta say the truth though.

170
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:04,720
I feel like I don't have a lot of insecurities I keep going back to as I don't share about it.

171
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:12,720
I think there are just moments here and there where, oh, I suddenly have the thought of, oh, do the people actually like me?

172
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:19,720
And you will process it on your own. Yeah, exactly. And I would say I get not get over it, but I process it quite quickly.

173
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:25,720
Yeah. That's why I say overall, I would say I'm not that insecure. Yeah.

174
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:34,720
I think that's the questions I have that I'm not sure. But overall, you got most of them correct, honestly.

175
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:42,720
You know what? The moment I saw a venture, I already know I got it wrong. I honestly like adventure though.

176
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:50,720
I really like. Yeah, but that's not your main personality. I wouldn't say I would say mediated is more you.

177
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:58,720
The majority of your personality than that. Yeah, for sure. But let's dive into each one. Yeah.

178
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:08,720
Shall we? So the first is I was just introverted. I got 61 percent introverted. I got your 68.

179
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:14,720
I think it really does. The percentage really changed a lot for me.

180
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:23,720
Remember when I said the first time I did it in 2019, my introversion was very, very high. I think I got 99 percent.

181
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:32,720
That's quite extreme. Yeah, that was very extreme. I think at that time, I was just going through a bad phase of in life.

182
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:40,720
Yeah. And I when I answered it, it was more more introverted than now. Yeah.

183
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:49,720
And can I add on something? I think introverted here doesn't mean you are quiet, doesn't mean you're boring.

184
00:14:49,720 --> 00:15:01,720
It's more how you see is do you value more the inner world or the outer world that you feel the real world is in the outer world or the real world is in the inner world.

185
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:12,720
So it's not just the stereotypical idea of introvert is quiet, boring, dislike people, stay away from that kind of introversion.

186
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:21,720
That's more aspect to it. But yeah, I think we both got it quite similar in that. Like I got 68 and you got 61.

187
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,720
Yeah, and introverted, extroverted, like they're honestly for all aspects, there's no it's a negative thing.

188
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:34,720
It's how you make meaning of it. Again, I think throughout a lot of episodes, we keep saying how we make meaning of it.

189
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:41,720
Yeah. And it's definitely there's not it's not a positive thing. It's how you view it. Yeah, exactly.

190
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:56,720
So what you say, the description of what the personality profile, we resonate with it that introverted individuals tend to prefer fewer yet deep and meaningful social interactions and often feel drawn to a calm environment.

191
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:10,720
Yeah, 100%. Honestly. Okay. At least for most, usually that's what I prefer. And the second one, it's the second aspect is intuitive or observant.

192
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:18,720
And I think this is the one that that's very different. I got 70% intuitive and 30% observance.

193
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:29,720
And what I did for Viv is 66% observant and 34% intuitive. That's I thought you're more observant based on.

194
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:37,720
So this aspect, it's more about going with your feelings, going with your heart or going more logical. Yeah.

195
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:46,720
And I definitely just go whatever comes out deal with it kind of thing. It's more not it's not about having that logical thinking through of it.

196
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:53,720
So you're more based on the feelings than logic. Yeah, it's the immediate response that I have.

197
00:16:53,720 --> 00:17:01,720
I think because based on my observation that when you make decision, you think longer, it takes longer time.

198
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:09,720
So I thought you were based on more the logical side. But maybe internally when you're processing it is different.

199
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:21,720
I think it's another aspect. I think when I make decisions, when you when you say I take longer, it's not because I actually have a hard time in thinking which is right, which is wrong.

200
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,720
It's more about the two choices that I have to make between. It's not that much of a difference.

201
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:37,720
So I can't use my feeling side because it's the same to me. That's why I take a longer time to decide which which one to go for.

202
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:43,720
Interesting. Yeah. Well, I know you a bit more today.

203
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:50,720
But yes, I do take a long, long time to decide on things. Yeah. Which is something to work on.

204
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,720
I think that's good and bad in everything. Yeah. Yeah.

205
00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:04,720
And the third aspect is thinking and feeling. I got feeling for 88 percent. Mine is feeling for 61 percent.

206
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,720
And I realize one thing is yours is more obvious than in the middle.

207
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:20,720
I don't know if that's because when I answer it, I tend to choose the neutral or like one score higher instead of the more extreme side of agree and disagree.

208
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,720
Because I'm not sure. But I guess so.

209
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:31,720
The percentage might contribute to that as well when compared to what I did for myself. Yeah.

210
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:41,720
So the percentage this might take into account on why the percentage is higher or more obvious on the one that you do it for yourself than the one that I do it for you.

211
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:54,720
Yeah. So what does feeling actually tell you? So the feeling is that according to the 16 personalities description, feeling individuals value emotional expression and sensitivity.

212
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:00,720
They place a lot of importance on empathy, social harmony and cooperation.

213
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:09,720
And I think that's definitely you mentioned previously that you are the peacemaker that you value that harmony and that explained on here as well.

214
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:15,720
Would you say so? Yeah, definitely. That's like one of the main values that I have for sure.

215
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:25,720
100 percent. What about the last one? The last one is judging and prospecting. I got 90 percent for prospecting.

216
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:36,720
Wow. I got 72 percent. OK. And I think this is the one that can be more obvious than the above. I don't know why.

217
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:45,720
You mean for yourself or for me? Both. OK. For my result previously that is more 50-50 for the above three.

218
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:52,720
But the last one is more obvious. Yeah. Do you want to share what prospecting means?

219
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:58,720
Yeah. Prospecting individuals are very good at improvising and adapting to opportunities.

220
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:06,720
They tend to be flexible, nonconformist who value novelty above stability. And yeah, I definitely agree.

221
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:18,720
I hold strongly to having to be flexible and adapt to different things that hits you. Yeah, I agree.

222
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:27,720
That's interesting. See how you would answer for me and how I would answer myself. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting.

223
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:35,720
Mediator versus adventurer. Very interesting. Do you want to talk about the last one as well? The extra one?

224
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,720
Oh, yeah. So assertive and turbulent. 76 percent assertive. I got 64.

225
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:50,720
And I think to my knowledge, this percentage is based off how confident you are in your answers, more in the sense like how extreme.

226
00:20:50,720 --> 00:21:01,720
I completely agree and completely disagree if you answer on those more and less on the middle average answers, then you would be more assertive.

227
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:08,720
Right. Yeah. I think that explains because I tend to lies on the average answer as well. Yeah. Cool.

228
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:17,720
Yeah. So that's INFP versus ISFP. That's for mine. And what about Nat?

229
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:25,720
Maybe you can go towards yours and see how I did for your personality. I think mine is pretty obvious.

230
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:33,720
Actually, I don't know. At first, I felt very, very confident. Yeah. But then now I said, oh, maybe it's not. I'm curious now.

231
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:41,720
But before we do that, some of the questions I have two questions that stood out to me that I have no idea.

232
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:50,720
I'm all ears. And it's the same as yours. One of them is you think the world would be a better place if people rely more on rationality and less on their feelings.

233
00:21:50,720 --> 00:22:00,720
What do you think about that? I think I put slightly agree that it's important to have some sort of rationality around that.

234
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:10,720
And I think because I do to rely on my feelings sometimes, then that's why I see the importance of rationality as well.

235
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:18,720
So I think you're right. Did you put agree on that? I think I put slightly agree. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I do know you well.

236
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:28,720
Maybe. Let's see. And the second question is when someone thinks highly of you, you wonder how long it will take them to feel disappointed in you.

237
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:39,720
I disagree with this. You disagree? Yeah. If you asked me a few years ago, I would say agree. But I think now because I know my value, so I think differently. Yeah.

238
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:47,720
What do you put? I put slightly agree. So you think me worried that I would disappoint people. Yeah.

239
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:56,720
I think it's because you often share about your previous experiences. And I think I base off my answer of that. Yeah.

240
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:05,720
But honestly, this idea is just quite recent. I would say that's a change. But I wouldn't use the word disappointed.

241
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:13,720
I think it's more about how they perceive you. Yes. Yes. If they change the question a bit, then the answers will be different.

242
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:25,720
Yeah, I think definitely the wording is very important in different personality tests anyways. Okay. So I got INFJ.

243
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:37,720
Yeah. Oh, yes. But the last one is different. I assertive. INFJ A. Okay. I got INFJ T.

244
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:47,720
I think it's more T because as we previously mentioned, I wasn't sure about most answers. Yeah. Yeah. So the introversion, what percentage did you get?

245
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:58,720
Fifty five. Oh, well, you're not that introverted. Yeah, I used to be extroverted, by the way, when I did it five years ago.

246
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:08,720
I'm extroverted, but the percentage is 60 to 40. I remember. Okay. Yeah. Introversion and introversion.

247
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:19,720
But again, a lot has changed and maybe the way that I answer it or the way that I understand myself back then is not sufficient. So can contribute to that difference as well.

248
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:32,720
But yeah, I'm definitely introverted. Yeah. Prefer definitely deep and meaningful interactions. Yeah. I think that's very similar to like we're very similar in that aspect.

249
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:44,720
We prefer meaningful conversations. Maybe that's why every time we meet up, we just go deep and not have, I quote unquote, normal conversations.

250
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:52,720
I feel I already forgot how to have normal conversations with you. Yeah. Honestly, it's very hard.

251
00:24:52,720 --> 00:25:05,720
I think when I hang out with Viv, we need to hang out with another person to make the conversation normal. Yeah. If we both meet up, just two of us, it's just like podcasts all the time.

252
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:16,720
Yeah. We're on podcast mode all the time. Yeah. But I really value that and I'm really grateful that I have a friend that I, we both, I would say we both interested in having those deep conversations.

253
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:26,720
I really appreciate that too. I have that opportunity to talk about these meaningful topics that we both agree, like agree that it's meaningful. Yeah.

254
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:35,720
And I think for most of the listeners as well, if you are here listening to us, I would assume that you are interested in those conversations as well.

255
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:49,720
I would assume that we are friends as well. So there's more friends in the world that are similar to us that we prefer the quote unquote, non-normal conversation. Yeah.

256
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:59,720
We're not saying we're not normal and you're not normal. We're normal and not always. And again, like how you determine what normal is. Yeah. And that's another deep meaningful conversation.

257
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:08,720
How does society think a normal conversation should be? Okay. That's the tangent, but let's go back to the second aspect.

258
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:22,720
The energy part. I'm 58% intuitive. Okay. I got 77%. I would say you're more confident than me in answering those questions.

259
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:31,720
I feel like when I was doing the test, I was like, okay, I know her well. I know you well.

260
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:41,720
I think, yeah, a lot of people have said they can read my emotions just based on my face. I'm very expressive in my own way.

261
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,720
So I wouldn't be surprised that you're confident and know me that well. Yeah.

262
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:57,720
But yes, I definitely very imaginative and open minded that I like to focus on hidden meanings and distant possibilities. Yeah.

263
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:04,720
Do we agree that's me as well? Yeah, definitely very curious, very open minded.

264
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:11,720
I think just from all the conversations that we've had, I can see that in you. Yeah.

265
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:22,720
That's why I got 77% like that's definitely you by being more intuitive than observant. Yeah, I agree.

266
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:32,720
So the third one is thinking and feeling. So that's the aspect where how to think and feel about the thinking and feeling creates.

267
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:43,720
I'm definitely more the feeling side. Yeah. I have 61% for that. I got 71% for you. Yeah.

268
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,720
I feel like I agree as well.

269
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,720
Now placing a lot of importance on empathy, social harmony and cooperation, similar to mine as well.

270
00:27:52,720 --> 00:28:05,720
And I was just wondering, I think just a question that pop up is if you have to choose between the three, empathy, social harmony and cooperation, which one do you think is more important to you?

271
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:13,720
I know it goes hand in hand. Yeah. That's a good question. I think empathy. Yeah.

272
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:19,720
I think empathy is more important than harmony and cooperation.

273
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:28,720
Do you feel like there's a reason behind that? Is it because as a counselor, you feel that empathy is one of the most important factor?

274
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Maybe. Yeah, maybe because I think I tend to lean towards understanding what other people feel as well.

275
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:47,720
They're more sensitive in that. But also the way that I treat people value empathy more as well. Yeah.

276
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:54,720
Because I ask the question is I feel like a few years back, I would say social harmony. Harmony is very important.

277
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:04,720
I think it would be the most important. But then now after doing counseling and everything, I feel there's so much more importance on empathy.

278
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:10,720
And honestly, how I achieve harmony is with empathy. I agree.

279
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:20,720
Would you say because of the experience that you had back in those years that makes it the social harmony more important at that moment?

280
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:29,720
I think it's more about the awareness because I think I've always placed harmony as a very important factor.

281
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:37,720
And even now I still do. It's just now I'm aware that I can achieve that through empathy.

282
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,720
And perhaps even back then, I achieved it through empathy or other ways.

283
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:51,720
But now I place more importance of having that empathy to achieve that. That's interesting.

284
00:29:51,720 --> 00:30:02,720
I think it's just when also when I'm making decision as well that I tend to lean towards the feeling side. Yeah.

285
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,720
Anyway, the next one is judging and prospecting. And this is very different for me. It's the opposite, right?

286
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:16,720
I got prospecting. Yeah. Like for me personally. But oh, is it? Is it the one that we're different? Yeah.

287
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:22,720
So you're INFP. Yeah. And you're INFJ. So it's only one one thing that's different.

288
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,720
So judging individuals are more decisive, they're more thorough and highly organized.

289
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:35,720
And they value clarity, predictability and closure, preferring more structured and planning to spontaneity.

290
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:43,720
Yeah. And again, I think this is not I think a lot of people will have the assumption that judging is judgey, judgmental.

291
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,720
But it's completely it's different. And that's again, no good and bad.

292
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:55,720
And judging doesn't mean that I'm judgmental just to a lot of misunderstanding around this as well.

293
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:06,720
Because I have heard friends saying they just say, oh, I'm blah blah blah P instead of J because they would thought the word judging is a negative aspect on it.

294
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:13,720
Yeah, yeah. But it's absolutely not. So yeah, I definitely agree. You are very organized.

295
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:20,720
You like a lot of lists. You have a whole diary for organizing your days and everything.

296
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:27,720
I feel like you love lists. I do. I love the to do list and being able to take off those.

297
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:36,720
I would have just put showering as my to do list as well. I feel like to do list is just setting yourself up for failure.

298
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,720
That's just you. Yeah, that's just me. Yes, that is very true. Yeah.

299
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,720
And that's why I don't like to do lists. But that's that's what's different.

300
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,720
Like you like to do lists. You like more structure, more organized. Yeah.

301
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:59,720
And I think because I like to be in control that I don't like when plans change and go out of what I planned.

302
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:08,720
I think it's just very out of my control. And that's give me I want to say I'm anxious of when things go out of plan,

303
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:15,720
but I would prefer that I have a plan and go according to it. Yeah. Yeah.

304
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:22,720
I can definitely see you feeling if it goes not according to your plan, what would happen?

305
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:31,720
And I think I just see that through your various experiences and what you share with me and just how you react to it. Yeah.

306
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:37,720
That's why I'm more certain that you're more judging. Yeah. Then prospecting.

307
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,720
I think through the behavior, it gives gives out a lot of clues as well.

308
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:49,720
But even internally, how I make decisions, how I interpret things is definitely the same way as well.

309
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,720
Organize and I. Yeah. Yeah. For sure.

310
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:59,720
Now that we know our own personality type, would you say you resonate with it? I think so.

311
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:09,720
And as I said, it's the results that given from the website is just the average. It's just the average description for this personality types.

312
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:16,720
And it might varies even another INFJ can be different from mine as well.

313
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:27,720
But I would say the descriptions that they have in terms of the strength and weakness and relationship wise is I can resonate with it. Yeah.

314
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,720
What about you? Yeah, for sure. I really resonate with it.

315
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:37,720
But at the same time, every time I do the personality test, I want to get a different one.

316
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:44,720
Oh, what makes you think that? I think I just question if INFP is actually me.

317
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:51,720
Like maybe there's another personality that I resonate with as well. Yeah.

318
00:33:51,720 --> 00:34:04,720
I do have that thought as well. So actually, when we are doing the 16 personalities, I've done the personality test as well to validate whether I'm actually an INFJ.

319
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:10,720
Well, I'm a proud INFJ and I'm not ashamed of it because it's my personality type.

320
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:16,720
But yes, I think after I've done those personalized tests, I got the same result as well.

321
00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:22,720
So I'm pretty sure I am an INFJ. And it's interesting.

322
00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:32,720
I know the career part can varies, but apparently they also say INFJ is more the psychologist, counselor career.

323
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:42,720
So actually, I know it's not how it works, but it validate and we are sure maybe I'm on the right career path.

324
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:48,720
I agree. At least I want to think that way to give myself some reassurance.

325
00:34:48,720 --> 00:35:03,720
Yeah. So then now that we know our own personality type, since we're friends, maybe we can focus on the friendship part and see maybe some of our similarities or differences when it comes to friendships.

326
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:11,720
Yeah. So what does INFJ value in friendships? What does it say on the website?

327
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:19,720
So for INFJ in friendship wise, they not just searching for someone to spend time with.

328
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:25,720
They want to find a soulmate. Someone can resonate with their passions and their conflictions.

329
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:31,720
So I think again, really value that deep connection is what we want as well.

330
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:37,720
And we have a lot of expectations, not just from ourselves, but from the friendship as well.

331
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:45,720
That authenticity is very important. Yeah. Is there anything that stood out to you that you really resonated?

332
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:57,720
I think I can resonate with everything. I think it explains as usual, very explains really well on how I see friendship as well.

333
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:07,720
Like it doesn't matter whether I have a lot of friends. What makes it more important is having a few friends that have deeper bond and connections.

334
00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:12,720
I think that's like very main similarities with my personality type as well.

335
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:18,720
That I really value that deep connection, this deep bonding with the true friends that I have.

336
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:29,720
And I think something that's a bit different is, and I resonate with it as well, is that for INFJ, they long to feel accepted and well-liked,

337
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:34,720
but they hate the idea of pretending to be someone else and not being authentic.

338
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:46,720
Personally, I do feel out of place when I'm with other people, no matter who it is, whether it's someone that I'm not close with, someone that I'm very close with, or even friends, like closer friends and family.

339
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:55,720
I still feel that way. Maybe that's why it says I'm vulnerable to loneliness, but I don't think I consider that as loneliness.

340
00:36:55,720 --> 00:37:00,720
I think I just have to embrace the differences that I feel stronger.

341
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:14,720
Would you say sometimes you would try to blend in and I won't say change your personality, but match with the other persons as well, then the authenticity that I value?

342
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:26,720
I think how I feel is, how I feel it is, on a certain level, I think I do create a complete new personality for each person.

343
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:35,720
But at the same time, I don't think I'm pretending to be someone because I'm just channeling that similarities that we hold more.

344
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,720
I emphasize more on that.

345
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:50,720
And you know what's interesting? It reminds me of the previous episode we talked about friendship and you have the idea that everyone can be friends as long as they have the intention to.

346
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:57,720
And I disagree with that because I feel like only people that I share similar values with can be friends.

347
00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:04,720
And I think this personality test can really show the differences that we have and why we believe in that.

348
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:17,720
Yeah, yeah, for sure, because even on the website, it says that mediators may actually find it infigurating to connect with someone who on surface has a little has little in common with them.

349
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:24,720
And I do agree that it's very sometimes it's harder to find the common areas that you share.

350
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:31,720
But at the same time, I honestly believe that everyone have that similarity, similarities.

351
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:38,720
It's just if you both have the intentions of finding that similarity, sometimes you have to work harder towards.

352
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:46,720
And I'm sure some people just don't think it's necessary to find to put in that much effort into finding that.

353
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:54,720
But I think throughout my life, as you practice it more, the capability of it increases.

354
00:38:54,720 --> 00:39:01,720
And I don't have to put in that much effort to connect with other people to find that coming around.

355
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:05,720
It's interesting because I don't think that way.

356
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:10,720
I of course, I believe everyone can be friends.

357
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:20,720
But as to my personality type shows as well that I value still deep friendship and is either acquaintance or like close friendship.

358
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:33,720
And apparently on the website, they also said advocates have if they have to fake or tone themselves down to gain someone's approval, then that person probably isn't the best friend for them.

359
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:41,720
I think that's my mindset as well that maybe we just don't click that maybe you have your own preference or interesting things.

360
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:52,720
And because I value so deeply on those deep connection and conversation, and I can't push or pressure the others to like the same thing as me.

361
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:58,720
So I wouldn't put that much effort in it when compared to, for say, INFP.

362
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,720
It's just our interpretation though.

363
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:07,720
And it's definitely the personality does play a factor to it, but it's not the whole thing.

364
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:13,720
We're just sharing whether we resonate with what the test results mentioned.

365
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:15,720
And I think I agree with you.

366
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:20,720
I do not want to fake or tone myself down to gain someone's approval.

367
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:24,720
But I think it's just depending on how you perceive that interaction.

368
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:27,720
Am I doing something to gain someone's approval?

369
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:28,720
I don't think I am.

370
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:34,720
I think for you, you're more willing to put more effort in starting that friendship.

371
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:35,720
Oh, yeah, for sure.

372
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:36,720
Like maintaining it.

373
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,720
And I think it also depends on the other person as well.

374
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:48,720
If I can feel that the other person is not willing to, I don't think I will have that energy to put in the time, effort in to have that come to find that common ground with them.

375
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,720
Yes, of course, because it's two way.

376
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:51,720
Yeah, exactly.

377
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:52,720
Yeah.

378
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:53,720
And yeah, exactly.

379
00:40:53,720 --> 00:41:02,720
So we do have a lot of similarities and different views on friendship and just the connection we have with other people.

380
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:08,720
And because of the similarities, I guess that's how our friendship work.

381
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:17,720
And I think the personality test is very helpful because it can show how much similarities we have.

382
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:28,720
But we might also have some differences that if we are open in talking about the differences that we can better manage our friendship as well.

383
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:38,720
I wouldn't say that's the weakness of it, but it's something that we can be aware of the compatibility, as you mentioned, of INFP and INFJ.

384
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:42,720
Our conversation would just be based on INFP and INFJ.

385
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:44,720
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

386
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:55,720
And going forward, what do you think some of the things that we have to be more aware of that might cause a hindrance towards our friendship?

387
00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:57,720
Do you think there is any?

388
00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:59,720
I'm sure every friendship has.

389
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:00,720
Yes.

390
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:07,720
And it's just simply from we both working together on this podcast, just the decision making.

391
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:13,720
I think we both tend to avoid conflict given we value the harmony.

392
00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:28,720
So I think being aware that we both tend to avoid conflict, I would say we need to be more aware on having that open conversation about how we think to prevent future conflict.

393
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:29,720
Would you say so?

394
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:40,720
Yeah, I think definitely we both tend to avoid conflicts just to brush it aside and not address it.

395
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:54,720
Yeah, I think just based on our both personalities having that open conversation and being aware the importance of it is more important than hiding it to yourself and let it build up.

396
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:59,720
Yeah, I think I learned that from a lot of previous friendship fallout as well.

397
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:02,720
So, yeah, I think it's not conflicts.

398
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:05,720
It's more about the different ways of how we do things.

399
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:08,720
For example, I'm really more flexible.

400
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:10,720
I like to play it by ear.

401
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:14,720
That's how my brain works.

402
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:18,720
If it's so structured, I can't follow it.

403
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:22,720
I think that's the main difference between us as well.

404
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:24,720
I'm definitely a professionalist.

405
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:27,720
I've done my schema as well.

406
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:33,720
And professionalism is one of mine, a very high scored one as well.

407
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:43,720
And I'm very structured as you know, the to-do list and plan it very well when compared to yours is quite different.

408
00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:45,720
But I think it's just a balance of it.

409
00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:49,720
I think for me, I think it's a growing opportunity.

410
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:55,720
It's a learning opportunity where I think it's more flexible on having that structure as well.

411
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:59,720
I don't think it would make sense to you.

412
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:00,720
Yeah, absolutely.

413
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:10,720
I think that's why the awareness is so important and not seen as the strength and weakness, but the balance, as you said.

414
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:18,720
And I've told you before we start this project, I have very high standards on myself and on others as well.

415
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:26,720
And I've done projects previously that the professionalism part plays a big conflict between me and my friend.

416
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:35,720
So I think just being upfront and aware of it, and that's why it's so nice that we have it's so accessible for this personality test.

417
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:46,720
Because not only you are aware of your strength and weakness, but having that conversation with your friend and how to make that friendship smoother is important.

418
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:51,720
Yeah, I think that's why we do encourage listeners to take the test.

419
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:53,720
Different personality tests.

420
00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:57,720
It doesn't have to be this one or you can take all of them up to you if you have the time.

421
00:44:57,720 --> 00:45:07,720
And just talk to, share it with your friends and just being more aware of the compatibility that you have with the other person.

422
00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:14,720
And being more aware of, I guess, the obstacles to the friendship or romantic relationships.

423
00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:22,720
Or even if it's for your personal growth, it could be more about, we kind of briefly mentioned about a career path.

424
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:25,720
And just how you cope with things in general in life.

425
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:32,720
And it is so fun, as you can tell, when we are sharing our different results as well.

426
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:45,720
But it will be very interesting to do this with your friend and even just digesting those questions and having a bit more understanding of each other would be beneficial for friendship as well.

427
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:51,720
Yeah, yeah. And yeah, definitely friendships, relationship with other people and relationship with yourself.

428
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:58,720
And just, I know some people tend to emphasize on either strengths or either weaknesses.

429
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:01,720
But I think it's again the balance of it.

430
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:04,720
For the strengths, keep improving that, keep it up.

431
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,720
And the weaknesses, it's more about how you work around it.

432
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:11,720
It doesn't mean that you're not good enough.

433
00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:15,720
It's more about how you work around it with your weaknesses, acknowledging it.

434
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:23,720
And what can you do to, I guess, not allow the weaknesses to overcome your strengths?

435
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:28,720
Yeah. And just don't fixate it on the introversion and extroversion.

436
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:38,720
I think a lot of people are just fascinated by, oh, I'm extroverted, I'm introverted and ignore the other three aspects, which is very important as well.

437
00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:47,720
We do encourage the listener to do more research on it and get a better understanding on different aspects.

438
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:54,720
Introversion or extroversion, intuitive or observant, thinking or feeling, judging or prospecting.

439
00:46:54,720 --> 00:47:05,720
So yeah, so I think doing more research and understanding more in depth and don't get, not shy away, but like get scared away because how complex it is.

440
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:09,720
It really helps, not just yourself, but like relationship wise as well.

441
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:14,720
Yeah. And it's just a part of it. Your personality is not your entire thing.

442
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:18,720
And one personality test does not tell you your entire life.

443
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:26,720
But yeah, it was, I think this conversation was very interesting and seeing how the way you feel yourself and how other people perceive you as well.

444
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:29,720
And just knowing that, oh, there might be differences.

445
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:36,720
Maybe perhaps for me personally, I have to work towards expressing myself more so that other people will know me better.

446
00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:42,720
And just knowing there is a discrepancy perhaps sometimes, but at the same time, there might not be.

447
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:48,720
So having that awareness, it's interesting to know that how other people feel you, honestly.

448
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:52,720
Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Nat, for being so open.

449
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:56,720
So thank you. Thank you for doing my personality test as well.

450
00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:59,720
Yeah. Thank you for doing mine as well. Letting me know that.

451
00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:02,720
Yeah. Just knowing that I have to express more.

452
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:06,720
