Week 1 - Online Creative Test Results & Reflections

This week, we were briefed on what to be expected from this module as well as to look into ourselves as a graphic designer and it can help to prepare ourselves for our own future path that we intend to pursue. During the class, we were tasked to define what a graphic designer is in a sentence and to drop down our points in Miro to help us understand ourselves better.

Our Task For This Week! - To complete 3 different creative quizzes

1. Creative Type: The Artist

I was described as an Artist from this creative type quiz, where I totally agree on the untapped potential mentioning that I am yet to be totally fearless in my creation. It is something that I have yearned for yet also prevented my own fear of failing. I do agree that the deep down in my inner is an artist and I have a strong aesthetic sense, as it what I manifest on most of my work, to fulfill my sense of aesthetic. And the biggest challenge mentioned there was spot on, as I face creative blocks often due to my own fear and doubts, which could be a powerful tool for me to manipulate if I find a way to overcome it.

2. 16 Personalities: ENFJ-A

Being a protagonist, I agree with some strengths mentioned but I think it is more toward something I am working towards, such as being an original, inspiring leader, thinker, and explorer. I think I am good at listening to other peoples’ opinions, however, it is the passion that I’m lacking in.

On the weakness side, I do agree that I always struggle to make tough decisions, even when things are simple and normal. I am sometimes too entangled in something it is difficult for me to focus on other things, which is something I need to learn to overcome.

3. Changemaker: Investigator

Surprisingly, I was described as an Investigator in this Change Maker’s quiz, and I do agree with some points mentioned. As a designer, it is extremely important to do research, asking questions, and find out the truth until the entire picture is clear. Other than that, the points mentioned in the quiz are also something that I always did in every project.

Reflection:

Overall, the quizzes were quite spot on and it has given me a better understanding of who I am. It makes me aware of what my strengths and weaknesses are. Nevertheless, the creative quizzes helped me to acknowledge my strengths and give myself the credits I should have, which is also something I need to learn and not undersell myself as a designer. All in all, it was a good exercise of giving to know me better and more.
