Who Am I?




I am Susie, of course! But what about my character, advantage or disadvantage? I think not only you but also I cannot answer these questions accurately. So I have to thank this test for giving me an opportunity to introspect myself. For the testing results, I agree with most of them. Some different culture between America and China may cause the little disagree. But I think the most important thing is the inspiration from the testing result rather than the result itself. So I drew a mind map by XMind to see how the world sees me.

(Mind Map)

I am an ORCHESTRATOR from the test. And my primary, secondary and dormant triggers are PASSION, ALARM and MYSTIQUE.

For the primary trigger- Passion, it is expressive, intuitive, social, impulsive and enthusiastic. Passion is the word that people evaluated me most and is also what I want to show people most. I have many friends and I would like to take care about them, to share happiness with them and to spend more time with them. I’m interested in creative or interesting ideas and I always want to try new things. I can make a decision very fast (may be just 5 seconds) without any superfluous thoughts. But some decisions may be made by impulsion so that I would regret them later. TT


For the secondary trigger- Alarm, it is rational, careful, routine-oriented, reliable and perfectionistic. Alarm is what I want to be and I have been trying to be. And I think most of alarm are real me now. I like making plans and checklist for everything; for instance, I have a big calendar (as below) that I will write all schedules on it. And I am a little obsessive-compulsive disorder that I think it’s a little similar with perfectionistic. In addition, the most I agree with in Alarm is reliable. I believe that honesty is the most important basis for interpersonal relationships so I will never lie to anyone. Don’t impose what you don’t want on others. So what I cannot bear most is to be betrayal or cheated.


You see, Passion and Alarm are totally different directions. Rational is the opposite of intuitive, and careful is the opposite of impulsive. But I always think this is not contradictory and they can coexist very well. I would like to spend time with friends but I also would like to leave me alone. I will make a decision by impulsion sometimes but I will also make decisions after carefully analyzing and balancing sometimes. I don’t know if this is a good status, so I had not thought to change. I hope the contradictory will make me grow faster.

For the dormant trigger- Mystique, I totally agree with this. I hate to hide my emotions or opinions. And I persuade others by being straightforward and open. I would like to enjoy sharing ideas freely, rather than to mask myself.

Finally, there are 3-step action plans. They are:
①Communicate with CLARITY
②Avoid the CHECKLIST
③Be aware of your ability to INSPIRE
I think the biggest challenge is the second step. I have been accustomed to rely on checklist. I don’t know if I can adapt to the days without a checklist. But I’ll try it.

It’s me, a “larger me”. I hope I can be a “greater me”.
