How fascinating is the test?

Over the years, I have undertaken numerous personality tests, but none beats theFascination Advantage Test. The key difference in this test is that it focuses on showing individuals how the world views them rather than their temperaments towards the world. Indeed, I was fascinated at how much information the report provides to the point of unravelling hidden characteristics about myself that I have never thought about. While undertaking the test, I was thinking about reasons why some people fascinate me, why others irritate me, and why individuals have varying characters in different setting. This trail of thought also made me ponder about how I present myself to the world, and illuminated my desire to understand myself better, especially how to improve my weaknesses. Overall, I felt that this fascination report is a pointer to the right direction in aiding me improve how I present myself to the world.

How I found my archetype using the Fascination Advantage

From the test, my archetype is The Talent with my primary advantage beingPassion and secondary advantage beingPrestige. The Talent archetype is also characterized by five main characteristics which are: emotionally intelligent, stylish, expressive, energetic and academic. Based on the archetype, the world finds me as a playful individual who enjoys having conversations with new people, and as someone who is understanding in different setups. I found that this report presents my true character to the tune of about 98%, the only characteristics that it missed is the fact that sometimes I tend to love my own personal space, and thus I am more introverted than extroverted. Nevertheless, it is true that I dream big and usually have big plans for my life, relationships, career, and family. I also blend in well in teams that have individuals from various nations or racial backgrounds since I have a passion of understand various viewpoints and ideologies about the world.
