High scorers can continue to leverage their strengths by actively seeking out new experiences and embracing change. More than most people, they are able to put themselves in new and potentially uncomfortable situations, which are the fertile grounds for personal growth.
High scorers can use their emotional stability and openness to explore alternative perspectives, people, and places. They can share their experiences and knowledge with others, as their ability to handle change can inspire and support those around them.
Low scorers can practice reframing setbacks and unexpected changes as learning opportunities, allowing themselves to grow from them. They can cultivate self-compassion and remind themselves that setbacks do not define their worth or capabilities. It may also help them to seek support from a trusted friend, family member, or therapist to help them explore the underlying reasons for their difficulty with change. These social supports can provide them with valuable insights and strategies to enhance their emotional resilience and adaptability.
