Strengths and Weaknesses
Advocate (INFJ) Strengths
- Creative – Advocates aren’t exactly like everyone else – and that’s a wonderful thing. People with this personality type embrace their creative side, always on the lookout for opportunities to express themselves and think outside the box.
I agree because I like to think and do things different from everyone else, this is because I don’t want to make anything boring and do the same as others, I want to make things interesting and fun for others and myself.
- Insightful – These personalities know all too well that appearances can be misleading. Advocates strive to move beyond superficiality and seek out the deeper truths in life. This can give them an almost uncanny ability to understand people’s true motivations, feelings, and needs.
I agree because everything has a meaning, and so if someone has changed their appearance, looks and dressing it could be because of something. Helping, talking and listening to others will make them more comfortable and happy.
- Principled – Advocates tend to have strong beliefs and values, particularly when it comes to matters of ethics. When Advocates talk about topics close to their heart, their conviction and heartfelt idealism can inspire and persuade even the sternest of skeptics.
I agree, talking about things that I like means a lot to me wether it’s big or small, I like to motivate and inspire others through words.
- Passionate – Advocates crave a sense of purpose in life. Rather than living on autopilot or sticking to the status quo, they want to chase after their ideals. This isn’t a personality type that shies away from big dreams – in fact, Advocates are energized and impassioned by the beauty of their visions for the future.
I agree because I like to find ways to help me achieve to wherever I want to be. Even if I want to do something complicated or something that seems its not going to work I still try my best and put all my hard work in.
- Altruistic – People with this personality type aren’t happy to succeed at another person’s expense. Advocates want to use their strengths for the greater good, and they rarely lose sight of how their words and actions might affect others. In their heart of hearts, they want to make the world a better place, starting with the people around them.
I agree with this because helping and motivating others makes me feel like I’ve succeeded. Helping others will benefit them and motivate them to do the same.
Advocate (INFJ) Weaknesses
- Sensitive to Criticism – Advocates aren’t averse to feedback – that is, unless they believe that someone is challenging their most cherished principles or values. When it comes to the issues that are near and dear to them, people with this personality type can become defensive or dismissive.
I agree because I don’t mind feed backs they are helpful but when someone tries to challenge my choices and opinions it can become offending.
- Reluctant to Open Up – Advocates value honesty and authenticity, but they’re also private. They may find it difficult to open up and be vulnerable about their struggles, not wanting to burden someone else with their issues. Unfortunately, when Advocates don’t ask for help, they may inadvertently hold themselves back or create distance in their relationships.
I agree because I want to make others life easy, if I talk about myself I feel like I burden them by my struggles. This can sometimes feel overwhelming and distancing from people just makes it easier than to explain.
- Perfectionistic – The Advocate personality type is all but defined by idealism. While this is a wonderful quality in many ways, it doesn’t always leave room for the messiness of real life. Advocates might find it difficult to appreciate their jobs, living situations, or relationships if they’re continually fixating on imperfections and wondering whether they should be looking for something better.
I partly agree because it doesn’t always happen, for living situations and jobs I sometimes do think about looking for something better and perfect even though I know it doesn’t always happen but I always think about something better.
- Avoiding the Ordinary – Advocates yearn to do extraordinary things with their lives. But it’s hard to achieve anything extraordinary without breaking it down into small, manageable steps. Unless they translate their dreams into everyday routines and to-do lists, Advocates may struggle to turn their grand visions into reality.
I agree because it makes it easier for me to break it down into small steps, just so I can understand better and clearly. If I create goals and routines it really makes it easy to get everything done. I like to challenge myself so I can sometimes struggle.
- Prone to Burnout – Advocates’ perfectionism and reserve leave them with few options for letting off steam. People with this personality type can exhaust themselves if they don’t balance their drive to help others with necessary self-care and rest
I agree because I always put others in front, helping people is a big thing for me, I want other people to achieve their goals and become successful. Even though they may be times I’m behind with my work I always like to help and care for others.
Task 1 – Idea Generation
Final major project ideas
Skincare advertisement
Strengths- It’s a big topic because skincare is for everyone. This could help a lot of people.

Weakness- Some people love meat and some people love vegan so there would be lots of agrees and disagrees.
Opportunities- I could advertise with other food places

Evaluation
One good thing that went well with the proposal was I felt more confident because I knew what I was talking about. The feedback I got back by classmates was positive. I also got more ideas for my project, the ideas I got was to advertise electric cars as they are popular and new. This is because diesel and petrol cars are going to be gone soon because they are bad for the environment. My aim is to encourage people to buy cars from the brand I’m going to be working with. One girl recommended hybrid cars because it’s good for the environment it has lower fuel emissions. I was also advised to use their own philosophy with my idea that will involve it with a clear one. The only negative is that I cant drive therefore i can only film in one location. I’m going to focus mainly on the interior for the details.
