Out of the top five pesonality traits I would say my strongest is professionalism. If one of the skills were my weakness it would be high energy because i dont really show my enthusiasm as much as I should at times.

I think my strength is intellectual curiosity because I am always interested in learning new things and solving problems. I think my weakness is confidence because I'm not always sure of myself, especially when presenting things. I could work on this by trying to be confident when I present in class.

I think that I already am professional when needed. I think I have to work on my confidence. When I am talking to somebody who is superior or I am not familiar with I am not very confident.

my strength is the ability to smile and be polite no matter who to. I can smile at people who i might think are bad or fake people.

my weakness is the resume that i would send in. my grades arent the best.

My personality strength is professionalism. This is because I would be able to present myself in a profesional, competent, and polished manner. My personality weakness is confidence. This is because I become unsure of myself under pressure and make mistakes. I can improve on this by having more faith in myself and acting like I know what I am doing.

My personality strength is probably confidence because if I know I did a good job, then I will do just as good or better the next time. My weakness is probably high-energy but I could improve on this by being more optimistic toward everything I do.

1. My strongest personality trait is high-energy.
2. My weakness is my confidence because I’m shy. I can work on my confidence by talking in front of my class or in groups.

My strength is confidence, being that i always devise a plan and fully prepare myself before doing anything in life. My weakness is professionalism, because i tend to joke around constantly. I can improve on this by taking things more seriously, and by cutting down on the jokes.
