A comment made in another thread has sparked this chain of thought. Are you aware of your good and bad points? Or, as interviewers like to call them "strengths and weaknesses"? I think it is really important to be aware of what you have strengths in, but more so to be aware of what you need to work on. I find people lacking in self-awareness quite frustrating, especially in a work capacity. Me? Weaknesses: can be a tad petulant & sulk - I have got better at this as I've got older though & can pretty much keep a lid on it in a work capacity. I tend to take on too much - if I want something doing, I'll do it. I should delegate more. Strengths: I'm a great communicator - speaking in front of audiences doesn't bother me, and I find holding audiences' attention quite easy. I am passionate about the things I believe in, and I believe that is a real strength. So, what are your strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths can also be weaknesses, and vice versa. I have a strength which means I take into account other's points of view and ideas within a team setting. My weakness here is when I allow somebody to dictate what's happening, even if I don't agree with it. When I was a journalist (briefly) I was great at writing feature articles - but crap at butting into people's lives and asking personal questions! I have a small retail business: I'm passionate about the product - but completely rubbish at sales and marketing. I just hate waving a big flag and yelling yoo-hoo, look at me and get your cash out: cold calling is my bete noir. Bloody hopeless - couldn't sell Evian in the Sahara. I'll never be entrepreneur of the year! Sappho x
No weaknesses here I am afraid. Strengths...... Will come back to this one, as need to build a list, I might be a while.:giggle: Now where is that ream of A4 paper.:notes:
One of my strengths is the ability to laugh at myself and not take myself too seriously. Also to see absurdity in seemingly dire situations. (A protective mechanism perhaps?). A definite weakness : A rapacious capacity for inaction. (I'm lazy!). In a way, that's not strictly true. I can be industrious when it involves something I'm interested in. I guess I might have different sets of priorities. I mean, I don't see the point in carrying out urgent repairs to my house and garden when I can sitting with my feet up reading a book. Perhaps when the rain is coming in from a hole in the roof I might possibly look up and think, "Yes, I must get 'round to fixing that some time."
My strengths are, my large sexual appendage, coupled with my ability to make the female of the species melt into my arms and experience multiple orgasm after multiple orgasm for hours on end. My main weaknesses is my total inability to tell the truth :giggle:

Actually, there's a 47 page report that explains that in better detail, but that's between me and my supervisor.
Mine, same as Cicero. I believe I can do just about anything I put my mind too however I just dont have the get up and go to do it. To me thats not particularly a weakness I just dont like hard work. My one huge weakness is organization and memory. My favorite saying to colleagues is "if you dont see me write it down assume Ive forgotten" I am also terrible with Paperwork and all that kind of stuff, just dont have a proper system in place. Strengths to me are just things I find normal. Good at public speaking, very confident, positive attitude to tasks others wont take on (if I can be bothered), very laid back and adapt very easily to difficult changes in personal circumstances i.e. I am always the one after a disaster thats making sure things carry on as normally as possible.
My strengths and weaknesses are scarily similar to Nola's. My biggest weakness is that I am rubbish at saying 'No' to people and, as a result, tend to take on too much and end up putting myself under unnecessary pressure. Strengths include a calm head in a crisis, fairness, honesty and integrity and a consideration for others. Memory is both a strength and a weakness. I can remember huge amounts of detail about certain things and can often recite entire conversations word for word - but I can also be completely incapable of remembering what someone told me five minutes ago!
Strengths: I'm one of those natural leader type's, always in control of the situation, get the job done, crack on with things and always manage to pull things out of the shit. I am very confident, and because i'm quite intelligent have a varied and wide ranging skill base that I can muster to get things done. Weaknesses. Because of the above I can be quite dominant and forcefull of my opinion. This manifests in the people around me feeling a bit pushed or put out as I don't tend to listen to their input ion situations that require somethingt doing, especially on a deadline. I have found from previous experience things usually go well my way so I just get people to crack on "my way". I can appear aggressive without even wanting to. I suppose in this case, my strength is ALSO a weakness?

What he said... I'm having you down as an ENTJ too Srne
I can both plan and respond to changes on the ground, as they happen. ...but I am not a people person. So things get done, but I can upset people in doing them, but in my personal life I tend to just relax and let things go. My psych tests say I am gaol oriented, so it kind of fits. Travis
strenghts are an ability to find positives where no one else can an eternal optomist and i can organise everyone else really well give me something to orgsanise and i'm as happy as a pig in muck weaknesses are i cannot organise myself at all i forget the most important things the ammount of bills that get to the red red red stage as i keep forgetting to sort them is unreal and if something has a deadline then it is a certainty that mine is the one that is still late when doing somehing for others i couldn't be more motivated but yet when for myself i have absolutely no motivation whatsoever odd one really
My personality type is ESFP - The Performer. I think this is why I love teaching so much. I am a massive peoples person. I am confident, have a great sense of humour and I'm life and soul of the party. I have great communication skills. I have the ability to look and sound interested when someone is talking complete shit and boring the hell out of me! I am honest, caring, and will do anything to help anyone to the point where sometimes I think I must have a tattoo on my forehead saying come and tell me all of your problems!! I am very organised in my work (but my personal admin is real bad!) On the downside, I take on far too much to help others and then regret it later. I am very impatient and hate having to wait. I dont like people wasting my time and am a bit of a nightmare at meetings when things keep going round and round ... just make a decision for Gods sake!! If I get an idea, I want to do it now! and if I cant, I may resemble a spoilt brat! I am easily distracted by the things I enjoy and I put off the things that I dont like doing. Sometimes I can be a little too honest which makes me the perfect person to go shopping with but I have been known to offend friends unintentionally with my honesty. Sound like a right diva dont I
Weeknesses: Very forgetful Totally disorganised Lazy Messy Accident prone The awful ability to unintentionally tune people out, even when I don't want to do it, something else will grab my attention, and wallop, tuned out The inability to be able to concentrate on more than one thing at once Crap at keeping in contact with people Not much willpower Loads of other things but have either forgotten em for now (number 1 on list), or have tuned them out (number 6) Strengths Despite the above, the remarkable ability to be able to persuade people that I'm Bluddy Awesome! :bounce: Even poor David, managed to convince him I was awesome enough to move in with!!!

Hi, I'm Will - don't know if you remember me, but you have been to my house and met my family! By the way, it's definitely your round.

Ow, that hurt! :shock: You're not kneading bread, woman. For goodness concentrate on the 'job in hand', if you please.

Yes, it must be time you sent me a PM.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Oh Will, gorgeous Mr Will Power :rotflmao: I think one of my biggest strengths is the ability to latch on to the best friends in the world - friends who just take the mickey out weaknesses, see em more as 'quirks'. Friends who don't take themselves too seriously, yet can be very serious and strong when need be. Friends who I should've been there for more and I wasn't (major weakness that I don't forgive myself for, a weakness that I am going to change, self disgust is a horrible thing) Gullible friends who believe in my 'awesomeyness', and embrace it too!!! :bounce: :lol2: Missy - aka 'oi'!!!! assionkiss: :passionkiss:
