My Personality Test Said My Ambition Is Low. How Do I Make Myself Better?

Published: March 22, 2021
Dear TeenHealthFX,
hey tfx, lately, I've been overthinking a lot of things. and I got a personality test from school, which said my ambition was low. I asked my parents why it said that, and they said: well, I don't see you leading a company. you'd be able to, but you don't want to. but lately, I've been thinking that maybe I do want to, and maybe I want to matter in the world. I want to do something good for society. do you have any idea how to start? it doesn't have to be big, I just want to matter, and I don't feel like I do right now. how do I make myself matter?

Dear My Personality Test Said My Ambition Is Low. How Do I Make Myself Better?,

TeenHealthFX wants to assure you that your feelings are valid. Being a teenager is tough and research shows that not all personality tests are accurate. Just because the test says that your ambition is low does not mean that you are not capable of doing something great. Sometimes these tests are done to see where your interests and strengths are.

The first step in making yourself better is deciding you want to be better. Congratulations on already completing the first step! For many people making this decision is the hardest one. Next would be to do something that interests you. It could be volunteering for something that has meaning to you, help raise money or donate items to organizations or people in need, or even making an extra effort to recycle or plant a tree. There are many things you can do that will help you do something good for society.

It is never too late to make a difference in the world.  As you mention, it does not have to be anything big. Sometimes it’s the small gestures that have a huge impact. Don’t give up.
