Strengths and weaknesses (personality)

Strengths and weaknessesgenerally refer to a person'scharacter.

Often a strength can be a weakness, and vice versa, a weakness can be a strength. In
Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (e.g., dark and light) are described as
complementary opposites within a greater whole.

For example, here are some opportunity and weaknesses bypersonality type.[1][2]
