Find the first word that describes you

The first word that you see in this word search describes and reveals your character and who you are as a person.

Look at the picture.
What’s the first word you see?

Check out what this word says about your character and about your personality.

If you saw task

Your dedication and commitment are your two most important traits. You are dedicated to your job, and you make sure not to let your boss down. If you’re on the other side, and you have people working under you, you always make sure they feel appreciated, motivated and valued.

When you set your mind on something it’s quite difficult for someone to make you change directions.

If you saw power

You enjoy taking responsibility and having things in your control, and that is when you feel at your best. You don’t mind working in stressful environments, and you do better under pressure than most people do.

You don’t make assumptions; you analyze the situation and act accordingly. You don’t leave anything up to faith. Instead you take control and motivate everyone to work with you through all kinds of challenges and difficult situations, until you’ve finally achieved your goal.

You don’t like to lose, and that’s why you tend to jump into action faster than others so that you can take control of the situation before it gets out of hand.

If you saw home

You are a mediator, a friend, and a loving and caring person. You are calm and reserved and you don’t let others define who you are.

You have a fountain of joy within you that you share with your family and friends, and they appreciate you for it the most.

You like to surround yourself with like-minded individuals, and like spending time with people you love and respect.

Even from a young age you’ve discovered what the most important things in life are, and for you that’s definitely your family.

If you saw animal

If what you saw first was animal that means that you are among just 4% of the population that truly shines with a flame and passion for the outdoors, nature and most of all – animals!

You are a caring and shy person that likes to spend time with like-minded individuals. While people may see you as awkward and antisocial, the truth is that you like spending time with others, just as long as you feel safe and welcome in their circle.

Being a part of this personality group might often make you feel misunderstood by most people, and sometimes even lonely. What you must realize is that people don’t define you, your actions do! So keep on living life the way you desire, even if others won’t ever understand.

If you saw lover

You are a very energetic, blunt and charming person. Your personality type makes you stand out in a group, and always leaves a positive impact on others.

You like being a performer and an entertainer and you’re always ready for an adventure.

Your honesty and sense of humor are your secret weapons and people love you for that.

What makes people want to be in your company is the passion and trill they see in your eyes that immediately makes them wish they had your charisma and charm.

If you saw team

Your personality type is quite unique. The qualities that you possess make you very good at personal relationships as well as a good co-worker and team player.

Your analytics skills are amazing and you are always open to change and new ideas.

No matter if you’re a part of a team, or are leading one, you always make sure that everyone feels appreciated and valued, and that no one is excluded in any way. You take everyone’s opinions into consideration, no matter if you think you already have the answers to the problem.

Share your result with your friends, so they can see which of their personality traits and characteristics define them the most.

45 Words to Describe Yourself in a Job Interview

A common job interview question is “what are 3 words to describe yourself?” 

When recruiters ask you to describe yourself, they are looking to find out two things: 

• Do your personality and skills match the job requirements?
• Are you honest in your answers?

Keep this in mind and it will be much easier to answer this typical interview question successfully. 

Now, if you’re wondering how, exactly, you should answer this question, here’s what we recommend:

1. Choose adjectives that are relevant to the position you’re applying for (as long as they fit you, of course). 
2. Back up your answer with examples of how you embody the quality or skill. This will prove that you are answering honestly.

Let’s see how this works through an example. Say you’re applying to be a teacher and you’re asked “what are three words to describe yourself?”   

Here’s how NOT to go about it: 

• I am creative, competitive, and tenacious.

Now, there’s nothing technically wrong with these adjectives; however, the answer isn’t the best possible for two main reasons: 

1. Competitiveness and tenacity are not the most sought-after skills for teachers. 
2. The claims are not backed up with concrete examples. You could really be creative, or you could be exaggerating. Without backing it up, the recruiter can’t tell which one it is.

Here’s a more interview-friendly way to answer this question: 

• To begin with, I am creative — in my last school, I came up with an SAT exam preparation technique that raised the graduating class’s success rate by more than 30%. I am helpful, both to my students and colleagues — I often stay after class to clarify any questions students may have and I fill in for other teachers whenever I can. Finally, I am very passionate about my work and my students. I’ve been in the field for over 10 years, and I plan on sticking with it for as long as I can.

Here’s a list of words you can use to describe yourself in a job interview: 

Words to Describe Yourself in a Job Interview 

• Attentive

• Cooperative

• Helpful

40 Words to Describe Yourself in a Resume

When it comes to your resume, you won’t be directly asked to find three words to describe yourself. That doesn’t mean, however, that you shouldn’t care about the adjectives you choose to describe yourself on your resume. 

On the contrary — before even inviting you at the job interview, it’s your resume that speaks for you. So, your choice of words to describe yourself there is arguably even more important.

Of course, it’s not enough to just insert some adjectives here and there and call it a day. Instead, you need to find the right way to “sell yourself.” In this section, we’ll teach you just how you can do that.

Your resume profile is the first place to add the right words to describe yourself. Be it through a resume summary, or a resume objective, you’ll need to find at least one strong adjective to describe yourself and make a good — and lasting — impression. 

If you ask us, that’s pretty essential, considering that most recruiters spend an average of 7.4 seconds skimming through a resume. Talk about first impressions mattering, right?

Keep in mind, though — 

Just like with the interview, plugging in some adjectives to describe yourself won’t cut it. 

• First, you should make sure to choose adjectives relevant to the job. 
• Second, remember to always back up your claims with examples — or, in this case, achievements. 

Let’s assume that you’re a recent college graduate applying as a Communications Assistant. Your resume objective would look something like this:

Hard-working and passionate college graduate looking to apply up-to-date skills and strategies as a Communications Assistant at the Regional Youth Cooperation Office. 1+ years of practical experience as an intern at the Mayor’s Communications Office.  

Even if you’re a seasoned professional with many achievements to show, you’ll need an adjective to describe yourself. In such a case, your resume summary would look something like this: 

Task-driven professional experienced in data entry, customer service, and reception duties. Able to perform accurate and efficient entry of data into administrative software. 

Get the idea? Here are some more adjectives to choose from: 

Words to Describe Yourself in a Resume

• Accomplished
• Accountable
• Bold
• Collaborative
• Competent
• Confident
• Conscientious
• Cooperative
• Data-driven
• Detail-oriented
• Eager
• Efficient
• Emotionally intelligent
• Entrepreneurial
• Ethical
• Experienced
• Expert
• Flexible
• Gregarious
• Motivated
• Organized
• People person
• Persistent
• Personable
• Professional
• Proficient
• Resourceful
• Self-assured
• Self-starter
• Skilled
• Skillful
• Sociable
• Strategic
• Team player
• Thoughtful 
• Tireless

40 Words to Describe Yourself on a College Application

The majority of college applications require that you submit a personal statement. 

Personal statements are a way to promote yourself and show why you are the right candidate for a certain program. Unlike motivation letters, where you’re supposed to explain your academic objectives, personal statements allow space for creativity. 

Thus, you can get more expressive and personal with the words to describe yourself in a college application, as opposed to your resume or job interview. As an undergrad candidate, you are supposed to highlight your strengths and show what makes you unique. 

Here are some adjectives you can use for inspiration:

Words to Describe Yourself in a College Application 

• Artistic
• Athletic
• Authentic 
• Brave
• Committed
• Compassionate
• Courageous
• Curious
• Daring
• Dedicated
• Diligent
• Down-to-earth
• Enthusiastic
• Extroverted

• Generous
• Genuine
• Go-getter

10 Words NOT to Describe Yourself (Professionally)

As you can imagine, there are also words you should refrain from using to describe yourself — especially in the professional context. 

Not that these adjectives are bad per se — however, they might not arouse the expected reaction when you use them out of context. What do we mean?

Take the following example. Imagine using these words to describe yourself in a job interview: 

“How would I describe myself? Let’s see, I’m amazing, funny, and unique.” 

Now, it’d be more than OK if a colleague — or anyone, for that matter — described you this way. Calling yourself amazing in front of recruiters, however? Might be a bit too much, without really saying anything at all.

Here’s a list of our top 10 words NOT to describe yourself (outside of your friends’ circle):

1. Amazing 
2. Awesome 
3. Dynamic 
4. Funny
5. Honest
6. Humble
7. Intelligent 
8. Talented
9. Visionary
10. Unique

Key Takeaways

Let’s go over some of the main points we covered in the article: 

• Many situations will require that you find the right words to describe yourself. A resume, job interview, or college application are among the most common. 
• During a job interview, make sure to use words to describe yourself that are relevant to the job and to back up your claims with examples. 
• Your resume profile is your chance to make a memorable first impression — scan the job ad to choose adjectives that are relevant to the position and back them up with your achievements.
