I'm good at self derision, does that count?


The OP is mine!!

what are your strengths?

I am pretty good at finding my weaknesses.....I am a perfectionist, I don't always communicate effectively, I am a control freak and an information junkie......

What are your strong points? do you like them? do you wish you were better at something?

I find all your stated weaknesses to be strengths Smunkee. And furthermore I invoke the title in my claim.

... I try to see both sides of an issue.

whether or not that's a strength or weakness, is up to you. :p

I'm also pretty damn good at criticising myself.

I'm often good at finding balance in my thoughts and actions.

I'm a lazy one that puts things off to the last minute because I've been extremely low on energy as long as I can remember.

I'm afraid of pain.

I learn things pretty easily but forget them even easierly, which makes for me as being the good at grammar for instance.

I'm a good driver and K-Mart sucks.

I'm generally a pacifist unless I am driving in the city and then I'd love to own a gun and pick off bad drivers or at least put holes in their tires and phalanges.

I'm quite intelligent, other than that I don't know if i have any other strengths.

My weaknesses probably are that I'm somewhat lazy, I procrastinate to much and I need a better self-esteem.

I'm so incredibly modest that I suprise even myself sometimes.

Wow that's a pretty massive threadsteal.

OT: I'm good at drinking ice tea unbelievably fast and clapping with one hand.

I suppose one of my strengths is a high tolerance for pain, which is also bad because sometimes I just ignore things like broken ankles because I don't realize how badly hurt I am.

i'm not sure where my strengths lie. i have a feeling that strengths are something that have to be worked for and maintained. so we have found my first weakness: my extreme lack of motivation. other weaknesses include my inability to be truly assertive, my conviction that nobody is interested in my input, general awkwardness in the social context, poor body image, paranoia, procrastination, tolerance of squalour, mindless optimism.

i have one... quality... which sort of bridges the gap in the sense that it can work both in my favour and against. i wear my weaknesses on my sleave which makes me approachable (once people have figured out that my vacant smile is because i'm shy, not because i'm crazy) and easy to get along with. people are always comfortable around someone they can feel superior to. this also works against me cuz i'm always overlooked for promotions or opportunities to prove myself, although the more intelligent people i know tend to see through my 'doofus' act but most tend to stop there and can't figure out why i continue with it. nor can i for that matter.

oh, i'm a pretty good mediator if that counts, although it has got me into trouble on more than one occaision where i was mediating but nobody was listening and so i got caught in the crossfire. but i am good at diffusing arguments. mostly cuz i'm the first person to crack and shout "enough!".

This thread is sexist, and thus I refuse to post. :eek:

OT: I'm good at drinking ice tea unbelievably fast and clapping with one hand.

OT: I just realized that the "off topic" abbreviation and the "on topic" abbreviation are the exact same thing!

OT: I get along with people fairly well. I don't know if that's a strength, but it's something I wish other people were good at.

I pretty thick skinned. It means that I hardly ever feel insulted or get offended. In fact my first emotion towards someone who is trying to hurt me by insulting me is normally pity.

Conversely it also means that I tend to offend more delicate people quite easily. Which I find amusing.

I'm a slacker. I procrastinate. I have a great problem when dealing with incompetence. Physically, my only weakness is my extremely poor eyesight. However, my extremely acute hearing and pitch recognition, smell/taste, and touch senses more than make up for it. My strengths include my intellect and resourcefulness. And my capable body, of course.

and... how often does this happen?

I've noticed the same with me. I shunt the pain aside.

Leadership, analytical ability, and organizational skills.

it's only happened twice, once with a broken ankle and then I guess my back always kinda ached and last time I went in for the full physical we found out that I have shrunk 2 inches due to mini-fractures in my spine.

Right now my finger hurts, I think I jammed it playing basketball today, but hubby thinks I broke it, so I have to go get it checked.....

Me, is that you?

Me, is that you?

Yes. In case you didn't know, this is also you. Although I hope that you would at least remember what you said was your favorite personality...

I have to admit I'm pretty much perfect. Strong in both body and mind, though socially I'm slightly awkward, however something in the NY Times I read seems to say most people are shy. However my strongest trait may be that I don't mind having to make do with little in life (by American standards), in fact I find I'm perfectly content with less if not happier.

EDIT: sometimes I have a temper though usually its justified, if inappropriate

Leadership, analytical ability, and organizational skills.

This was not, of course, either lifted from, or created for, a job interview?

Me personally, to quote Motion City Soundtrack "I'm a mess, I'm a wreck". Utterly insecure about everything other than my intelligence; I can remember three days in 2007 on which I have not been unhappy.

Me, is that you?

heh! i believe you have some qualities that i lack.

Yes. In case you didn't know, this is also you. Although I hope that you would at least remember what you said was your favorite personality...

Well if I would go back in this thread and read what I originally posted, I would remember that I wrote that I forget things easily!

heh! i believe you have some qualities that i lack.

What? Road rage?

What? Road rage?

oh i've got that too, well i used to. i was thinking more of stuff revealed at ump, there's a liberation there that i don't have, and an.. asset if i'm to believe what's to be read :P

So you're not out of the closet yet? And why don't you participate at UMP dammit?

i do, sort of. but i didn't think i was cool enough to go by my 'real' name so i decided to start afresh and try for more... attitude... or something with a new identity.

I'm excellent at mathematics, strategy and intuitive deduction. I can troubleshoot electronics to the component level. I am very good at putting life in it's proper priorities and letting go of the things that don't matter or that I have no control over. I do what I can and I don't sweat the rest. I derive great joy from humor, absurdity and the spreading of them to others. Sometimes the unexpected and amusing is just the jar a sedentary mind needs to become active again.

I can mudsurf better than anybody I know and I have been kicked in the groin full force by a blackbelt martial artist three times and remained on my feet. I couldn't stand after the fourth though. :(

Stop making me guess stuff!

:p

I'm so confused right now. If you are a new addition at UMP, you are so totally cool. Also, I can't find you so you might not know that we have moved to a new board.

what are your strengths?

That I am smarter than 99.85% of the population.

That, and my humility.

Both an asset and a failing. I'm very compassionate and soft-hearted. Which means that I have too many cats and give smelly hitchikers rides. But I seem to be repaid for all the trouble by a number of people who have been willing to stick by me no matter what a pain in the ass I am.

And Neo thinks he's 1.85% smarter than me. :p


I'm also a bitch. Not imcompatible at all. I'm very irritable and always think things should be done my way. My roomies tell me I think I'm always right. (Of course I do. If I thought I was wrong I'd change my opinion) This means, unlike the type of super tender-heartedness my mother has, I rarely get stepped on or screwed around.

was it willamena? i forget, i could have sworn it was though.

lol - you are me

i'm also me. but if i'm you and you're me who does that make the voice in my head?

that's your brain on drugs

Lets see. Strengths. My tongue can lift a beer bottle... ladies...?;) What else? Hmm, I BBQ'd a really awesome steak tonight. I'm also out of my mind. And I can see past to hopelessness of society and all it's hypocrisy.

Weaknesses. Hot chicks. And large sums of money. Steak. Beer. And snow. I couldn't live life without snow.

I can live without snow though...the street salt is a pain in the ass to clean off my car

Strengths...

Money Management...consuming large amounts of alcohol...Athletic events I usually do well in those....umm have to get back to you on this

I'm generally a pacifist unless I am driving in the city and then I'd love to own a gun and pick off bad drivers or at least put holes in their tires and phalanges.

I'm with you there!

I am very good at putting life in it's proper priorities and letting go of the things that don't matter or that I have no control over.

Me too...or at least I like to think so. :)

My greatest strength is that I am adaptable...my greatest weakness is that I hate to adapt.

I'm actually quite good at the first two as well I guess. That last one there is to much work to really even bother trying. God I'm lazy. Hey, there's another.

Yeah bitches, I an eye (http://www.lighthouse.org/images/complex_eye_500.jpg) for it.

I procrastinate, badly. I pretty much refuse to do something until I have about 75% of the time needed to do it left until it needs to be done. I sleep poorly and am usually tired. Going to bed earlier usually just results in me just laying awake longer. I hate confrontation and potentially awkward situations with a passion. It is so bad, I pretty much have to change the channel if I see one of those situations coming. I judge people based on their looks. Tough decisions that require all kind of deep though, are mad with snap decisions as even if I try to think about it, I my mind drifts onto something else before I get anywhere. I lose focus easily. My mind will just follow its current train of though, completely ignoring the fact that there may be a big picture. Once I stop thinking about something, I will have no idea what I was actually thinking about. I can not teach anybody anything.

I am approachable. People seem to like to tell me stuff that they wouldn't tell someone else that they know as well as me (telling me a secrets that they would usually tell only a friend, when I am merely an acquaintance). I like to listen. I can remember pretty much everything, just not when it happened (unless I can guess by something someone said, or someones apparent age). I am extremely good at tests, probably due to the memory thing and the procrastination (I have adapted to get rid of useless time-wasters such as thinking). I can learn well from most teachers using most teaching styles.

Probably other stuff, but this is getting boring so...

This was not, of course, either lifted from, or created for, a job interview?

Yes, actually, it was. Mind you, it's pretty accurate in and of itself, but you have a keen eye.

Well, I'm good at analyzing and systematizing things. I can see things from other perspectives than mine. I have the ability to think twice before actually doing or saying something(sometimes I think through things too much and end up doing nothing which is a bad thing). I can admit when I'm wrong without feeling ashamed about it, something many people can't do because they prefer to look as idiots as long as they think they're right. I'm also very generous, helpful and understanding.

Bad things: I've become totally asocial. My life pretty much excist of going to school half asleep, coming home drinking at least four cups of coffee to wake me up, reading/studying/playing computer/watching TV aso. I'm in really bad physical shape but I lack the energy and will to go to the gym and do something about it.

But I don't complain since I only have one year left in school before I go to the university and I think my life will change for the better then.

My strong points are:
Being able to tell the truth, no matter how much it'll hurt someone
Being very cynical and reclusive which basically protected me
Compassion towards animals especially cats.
Make amends when I do stupid things, and realize that I do stupid things

Weak points:
I procrastinate
I'm easily distracted. (I have ADD)
Never able to get enough sleep.

Yes, actually, it was. Mind you, it's pretty accurate in and of itself, but you have a keen eye.

I work next to the damn posters at work.:D

Given the calibre of employees we seem to have, the headline "We're always looking for great people" seems optimistic to say the least.
