Instructions

1. When trying to describe yourself, first think about what you do. Your hobbies and actions are a good way to get a first stab at a description about yourself.

   What are your hobbies? What would you like to do? Where would you like to travel? What do you spend the majority of the time doing?

2. Now think about your reasons and motivations for a more in depth way to describe yourself to others.

   Think about why you would like those things. Do you tend to like sports that you do alone or with a group of people? Do you like to do quiet hobbies by yourself? Do you like to travel to countries that have a similar attribute (like history, climate, culture, etc?). These reasons can help give you some insight into your personality.

3. Now think about your interactions with other people. How would your friends describe you? How would your parents describe you? What about a spouse? Try to think of as many different types of relationships that you have with people as friends you've known for a while or just recently met, etc.

4. Keep in mind these aspects of you are in constant flux and will change through time. This is a starting point to start thinking about your personality and interests.
