My personality type is the logician (INTP-T). After reading into this particular personality analysis I definitely understood why my results gave out this personality. Although I don’t agree with exactly all the descriptions that match this personality it is definitely the majority part of me.

The logician personality type is described as a rare one. People with a personality like mine tend to pride themselves on inventiveness and creativity. They also have unique perspective on most situations. Spotting patterns and discrepancies in statements is something that logicians enjoy a lot. A logician looks at the facts and logical elements and rarely considers other subjective thoughts when deciding. They are more likely to help those who are emotionally in need by providing solutions to help fix their problems than rather providing emotional support.

Some strengths that come with the logician personality type include: open-mindedness, great analytical and abstract thinkers, enthusiastic, etc. I can notice these traits as part of my personality. The same with the weaknesses: private and withdrawn, insensitive, condescending, second guess themselves, absent minded etc.

If I had to reflect on how my personality personally hinders my performance as a leader. I would start by stating the obvious truth that I am indeed private and withdrawn. This is a weakness, but I am aware of this and understand how it affects my position as a potential leader. I use my opportunities as a leader to gain more confidence in myself and the way I conduct myself in a team. It is a hinderance but in the end if I am able to come out of my bubble I will flourish. I would also say that I am also not the most emotional person during times where I need to add a bit of emotion into the situation. Finding the energy and strength in me to remain emotionally conscious and aware of the people in front of me is something I have to teach myself to control. It is a draining experience maintaining a happy positive vibe and always extending myself in conversations when I am needed to. I often find myself needing to take a time out after engaging with different groups in social activities. These were aspects of my introverted self that played as a weight on my shoulder throughout the day. Overall however, these hindrances were nothing more than small drawbacks that inevitably made me a stronger person and also made me more aware of my capabilities and who I actually am.

From a strength point of view there is only one significant thing that I personally feel helps me. That is the enthusiasm that I have for any activities that I do.

Despite having numerous weaknesses, I have learnt to overcome them by fully understanding who I am as a person. Not only have I learnt about myself, but those around me and the different traits that each and every person possesses within themselves. This helped me to understand and appreciate everyone a lot more which subsequently lead to me treating and respecting them for their differences a lot better.
