Reflection

1. What was your Personality Type according to the 16-Personalities Test (MBTI-Inspired Test)? Do you agree with the result? Why or why not?

My personality type according to the 16-Personalities Test is INFJ-T. I agree with the result because this personality type has been a consistent result every time I take the test. I also agree because some qualities of an INFJ-T match who I am. I am introverted, I am very imaginative and open-minded, I often think logically but also show empathy, I tend to be organized and decisive, and I also am always overthinking, am a perfectionist, and am always eager to improve. Which is why I believe that INFJ-T is really the type that connects with me.

2. How can your Personality Type help you become a person with and for others?

My personality type will help me become a person with and for others by using it as an advantage to leave a great impact. I can use my logical thinking in resolving

social issues and be able to show empathy at the same time. I will use my insight and knowledge to advocate for others and their cause. I will promote commitment and determination to help the people and the challenges they may encounter. And I will be eager to improve what needs to be improved and do the best I can to make a difference.

My stress level is a 5 because it is in between a calm state and a high stress level. I try to be calmer, but with the academic overloads and extracurricular responsibilities I face every day, I tend to be more distressed. With all this work, I would not know how to handle it all at once. Balancing everything would be difficult for me. I tend to also have a habit of leaving when things get tough. Which is why I try to come up with healthier coping mechanisms in order to accomplish this problem. I try to manage my time well, practice self-care, and take a break once in a while.

# data[].attributes.body
The first coping mechanism that is effective for me is eating sweets. Through the sweets, it makes me feel more calm and focuses my brain more on the sweet rather than the stress. The second effective coping mechanism I do is watching a movie or reading a book. This serves as a mental escape for me, helping me escape reality every once in a while. And lastly, taking a break also is an effective coping mechanism for me. This is because it allows me to rest and gather up my thoughts. It will help me realize a number of things so that when I face the problem again, I will know what to do now. These coping mechanisms help me be more stable in handling stress.

1. When I encounter conflict, I try to respond by trying to communicate effectively and slowly resolve the issue.

2. When I feel anxious or nervous, it helps me better if I stay calm and have peace of mind.

3. I find it challenging to manage my emotions when I am faced with pressure and stress.

4. When someone shares their feelings with me, I feel a sense of fulfillment knowing that they trust me enough and a sense of protectiveness.

5. One way I practice empathy is by looking at the situation from their point of view or from their shoes.

6. A time when I recognized someone else's emotions was when I noticed how greatly it affected them, and I tried to lighten the situation and helped them in addressing the problem.

7. Emotional intelligence helps me understand my emotions when I feel confused and overwhelmed, making me reflect on the situation.

8. I can improve my emotional regulation by acknowledging my emotions and deciding on how to react through careful consideration.

9. I think emotional intelligence is important because it allows us to foster a stronger relationship with ourselves and others.

10. I believe that developing emotional intelligence can lead tobetter understanding of the life we live.

Think of a time when you went through something difficult. How did your emotions affect the situation, and how did you manage them?

When I went through a difficult situation, my emotions affected the situation because the first thing that I would think to do is to react irrationally and impulsively. I would overthink the situation, leading to more stress. But then I realized that if I continue to do this, nothing will ever resolved or changed. That is why I now start to be calmer when under pressure or faced with unexpected challenges. I act more reasonably and try to slowly resolve the problem. In this way, I won’t drown myself in the conflict.

1. How did creating this mind map help you reflect on your own learning process and how you can better care for your growth as a whole person (cura personalis)?

Creating this mind map has helped me reflect on my own learning process because it allows me to visualize the study habits and strategies that will further improve my learning abilities. Through the mind map, it will serve as my guide to identify what and how much I am capable of. It helps me better care for my growth as a whole person because it ensures a clear overview of my habits and routine, allowing me to be aware of the things I need to develop and change for the better. Therefore, a mind map is a great tool to organize my thoughts and improve my academic performance.

2. In what ways can you apply what you discovered about your thinking style to pursue excellence (magis) in your daily study habits and responsibilities as an Atenean?

I can apply what I have discovered about my thinking style to pursue excellence (magis) in my daily study habits and responsibilities as an Atenean by making sure to implant the healthy habits in my overall academic performance. I will ensure that I will apply these practices to accomplish my responsibilities as an Atenean learner. I can start by implanting the skill of time management, allowing myself to take initiative in challenging tasks, by always doing my best and never settling for average work, etc. Through these practices, I am certain that I am able to live up to the value of magis, which is doing more.

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE? My Family

1. In what way is the person you posted special to you? Can you say that you love them?

The people in the picture are special to me because they are my family. They have seen me fall and get back up. They are the reason why I keep going. All my dreams and aspirations are all because of them. This is why I can say that I love them because I am willing to be a better person and yearn for a better life just so I could give them the life they deserve. I am willing to sacrifice everything if it means that I can see them and myself happy.

2. What lessons did you learn from them about love and relationships in general?

I learned that love should be unconditional. That you should love not because you want something in return, rather you should love because you truly love a person. Loving unconditionally means that we should love without condition and judgement. That we must love them for who they truly are, not because of what they can give. This alone proves to me that true love still exists.

3. What type of love according to Robert Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love do you think you have with the people in the picture? Why can you say so?

The type of love according to Robert Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love I think I have with people in the picture is Companionate Love. This is because this type of love means that I deeply care for them and have a commitment to each other. This love includes showing my deep love and affection and having to be content and grateful to be committed to them.

4. What emotions do you usually feel when you are with the people in the picture?

I feel happy and loved when I am around the people in the picture. They never fail to make me feel like I am enough and loved. They motivate and inspire me to do better and be better. That is why I feel thankful that I am lucky enough to have them as my family.

5. How were they able to influence you to be the person that you are now?

They influence me to be the person I am now because they always leave a mark on me. Their proper guidance and support has always inspired me to be better. Through their mature and nurturing advice, It gives me room to prosper and make me realize some things. Therefore I can say that I am not who I am now if not for them.

1. Think of the things your family does that you wish would stop because they don’t help you grow or make life harder for you.

They would often hold me back on things that I believe am capable of.

2. Think of the things your family does that you’re grateful for but believe could be done even better.

When they are too protective, making me miss out on some parts of my life.

3. Think of the things your family gives you that you’re deeply thankful for and want to keep forever.

They never fail to make me feel loved and happy.

Reflection: How can recognizing both the challenges and blessings within your family help you grow as a person who strives for magis, to become better for the greater good, and practice cura personalis by showing care and understanding toward each member of your family?

Recognizing both the challenges and blessings within my family help me grow as a person who strives for magis, to become better for the greater good, and practice cura personalis because it always leaves room for improvement. Having the knowledge about all the good and bad things allows us to try and become a better and deserving of each other. I always remember that not every family is picture perfect. That most families are flawed. This is the reason why we must always try and be better versions of ourselves everyday. Our flaws should does not mean that we are undeserving of love, but the reason to try.
