I’m apparently Enthusiastic
Authenticity
You’re as real as they come – no artificial preservatives or filtered photos needed! Your genuineness is refreshing in a world full of highlight reels and carefully curated personas. Sure, sometimes your honesty makes people do a double-take (like when you admitted you still sleep with your childhood stuffed animal), but that’s exactly why people trust and respect you.
It’s also the one thing I respect/value most in others.
Enthusiasm! Not bad, I’m kind of enthusiastic. Though I think I should have got leadership.
Btw, can the Quizly guy respond, ish?

I got resilience
authencity? no way I am the world’s most insecure person ever

You got: Wisdom!
My greatest strength is, I guess wisdom. My dad, my sister, my mom and my friends all think I’m very smart and wise. I think it’s true.
Resilience
Ok I get it
same well I am autistic so it makes sense
Wisdom – mmm, maybe
that’s what I should of got

Authenticity True but I don`t sleep with my childhood stuffed gollywogs.
Authenticity – but I call it growing old disgracefully. Please get your poor gollywogs out and sleep with them.
Leadership
Enthusiasm
Empathy – That fits, though it should include sympathy, too, for me. I can’t do much of anything anymore, but my ears still work, and my shoulder is always available to cry on. I sympathize with those who are going through troubles of any kind, and I empathize with those with chronic medical issues, those who have lost loved ones, and other things I have gone through or am currently going through.
Authenticity……Spot On
Empathy. You have an almost supernatural ability to read people’s emotions – it’s like having emotional X-ray vision! Your genuine care for others makes you an amazing friend and confidant. While this sometimes means you end up as everyone’s personal therapist (maybe start charging by the hour?), your compassionate nature helps make the world a kinder place.
I got wisdom, which is actually what people seek me out for. The thing it got wrong is, I would never be caught dead wearing mismatched socks. LOL
Authenticity.
You actually got it right! I can never be otherwise.
Authenticity. Strangely accurate. Main compliment I get from others.

Yay! That’s correct!

This is somewhat accurate. I do have to act happy, but other than that I am pretty honest.
Leadership 👍🏻🤣
Creativity Your mind is like a fireworks display – constantly exploding with brilliant ideas! You see possibilities where others see dead ends, and you have a knack for thinking outside the box. While your creative spirit occasionally leads to some questionably ‘innovative’ food combinations, your unique perspective brings color and excitement to everything you do.
You got: Enthusiasm!
You’re basically human caffeine – you energize everyone around you! Your zest for life is absolutely contagious, and you tackle new challenges with the excitement of a puppy discovering snow for the first time. Though your energy sometimes makes people wonder what’s in your morning coffee (is it rocket fuel?), your passionate approach to life inspires others to dream bigger.
ok they were lazy that is the same description for Resilience!
