This feels right. I definitely prefer to lead by positive influence rather than through dominance (D on the chart) and I am not a perfectionist or numbers person which would fall under conscientiousness (which is C). I would say that my positive encouraging highly collaborative attitude is a standout trait professionally!
And interestingly enough my results on this since I last took it have changedāmy strongest trait was steadiness before! Iāve taken on a leadership role so I have more information and context about the way I like to make decisions, handle situations, and work with groups of people! I think my confidence has improved too š£
(I googled my traits to find these little infographics. Feeling exposed right now by some of these traits listed especially the negative ones for influenceā¦)

first of all these traits arenāt immutable I used to score much higher in neuroticism and lower in extraversion. Probably lower in agreeableness my misanthropy has softened with time and effort.
Openness describes how open you are to new experiences and ways of thinking and your capacity and willingness to engage in abstract thought. Conscientiousness is thoughtfulness, impulse control, goal-oriented behavior, and ability to work within structure; this is a highly valued trait in leadership. Extraversion is obviously how much you put yourself out there in the world and enjoy the company of other people. Agreeableness is pretty much a measure of how well you function within society and show emotional connection to and consideration for others, exhibiting prosocial behavior. And neuroticism is an overall tendency towards negative emotions like anxiety, fear, depression, or paranoia.
So I think the results you get from this test can be a great steppingstone for evaluating the way you orient yourself in the world, your motivations, the internal processes you make decisions from, and also things you could work on changing or expanding

I donāt understand the percentage. I also find it very odd that aggression is my highest when u think literally all of the others should be higher. like I swear Iām way more likely to be suspicious or sneaky than to like shout at someone? I donāt think Ive ever shouted at someone. Maybe there are other aggressive tendencies that are more subtle š¤

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š

Iāve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapidāa critique often rooted in misogynyābut now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretationāpreconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your imageāselfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that thereās another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. Itās refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, Iāve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentionalāsomething that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. Iāve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? Itās a question worth considering.
