Knowledgeable – Debaters rarely pass up a good opportunity to learn something new, especially abstract concepts. This information isn’t usually absorbed for any planned purpose as with dedicated studying, people with the Debater personality type just find it fascinating
I agree with this summation of myself as I am often fascinated in new ideas and in topics I am unfamiliar with
- Quick Thinkers – Debaters have tremendously flexible minds, and are able to shift from idea to idea without effort, drawing on their accumulated knowledge to prove their points, or their opponents’, as they see fit.
I resonate with this analysis I think this is one of my strongest attributes and often call upon this skill when debating
- Original – Having little attachment to tradition, Debater personalities are able to discard existing systems and methods and pull together disparate ideas from their extensive knowledge base, with a little raw creativity to hold them together, to formulate bold new ideas. If presented with chronic, systemic problems and given rein to solve them, Debaters respond with unabashed glee.
This point I somewhat agree with as I feel little attachment or need to stick to traditions however I somewhat struggle with coming up with new ideas and concepts
- Excellent Brainstormers – Nothing is quite as enjoyable to Debaters as analyzing problems from every angle to find the best solutions. Combining their knowledge and originality to splay out every aspect of the subject at hand, rejecting without remorse options that don’t work and presenting ever more possibilities, Debaters are irreplaceable in brainstorming sessions.
I feel this describes me well as I like trying to take multiple perspectives into account and not just my initial thoughts
Weaknesses:
- Very Argumentative – If there’s anything Debaters enjoy, it’s the mental exercise of debating an idea, and nothing is sacred. More consensus-oriented personality types rarely appreciate the vigor with which Debater personalities tear down their beliefs and methods, leading to a great deal of tension.
This weakness sums me up perfectly I tend to be rather opinionated and this can certainly lead to conflicts as I am passionate about things
- Insensitive – Being so rational, Debaters often misjudge others feelings and push their debates well past others’ tolerance levels. People with this personality type don’t really consider emotional points to be valid in such debates either, which magnifies the issue tremendously.
I feel this point describes me less well than what it would have done in the past as ive began making a conscious effort to alter tis about myself
Can Find It Difficult to Focus – The same flexibility that allows Debaters to come up with such original plans and ideas makes them readapt perfectly good ones far too often, or to even drop them entirely as the initial excitement wanes and newer thoughts come along. Boredom comes too easily for Debaters, and fresh thoughts are the solution, though not always a helpful one
This would have to be my biggest weakness as I often struggle to time manage even tasks I want to do
Three ideas
One of the ideas I have for my final major project is a podcast/radio show on UK hiphop music detailing things like the pioneers, the superstars and the censorship and struggles faced by the community.
The second idea I have is to film a documentary on how the community of Bradford has been affected by the recent cost of living and inflation post covid.
The third possible idea I have is to do a podcast series on how football helps communities through hardships and provides hope. Also investigating the disproportionate lack of breakthrough of British Asian footballers
