Temperament strengths and weaknesses
For every strength that you have, you have a weakness in the opposite direction. It is not a failure to have the same weaknesses throughout our lives. We need only look for opportunities to use our strengths.
For example, people who seek closure tend to plan ahead and complete assignments on time, but they are not good at adapting to changes they hadn't prepared for. On the other hand, people who do not seek closure are spontaneous and able to make the best of changing situations, but they have trouble sticking to a plan and completing assignments on time.
We can use our natural gifts in areas where they are usually found, or in unexpected areas. For example, ISFP Composers excel at creating pleasant compositions, so there are many famous ISFP artists. But what happens when INTJ Masterminds are artists? They have analytical minds and feel compelled to use that strength. The results can be seen in the art of Georges Seurat, who invented a new technique of painting called Pointillism. Or in the art of M.C. Escher, who was able to visualize the geometry of space and negative space to create startling effects.
"If you are in awe of some talent I have, please understand and forgive my shortcomings."
