1. Give a candid description of yourself, stressing the
personal characteristics you feel to be your strengths and weaknesses and

the
main factors, which have influenced your personal development, giving

examples
when necessary. (400 words approx.)
请问是否应该集中火力主要写一个例子，然后引出2个长处1个短处呢？ "main

factors"，这里指的是在过去发生的人或事件吗？ 还是可以理解成一些对自己很重

要的人生观价值观呢？个人认为这两种理解的区别在于，前者纯属past，而有着更

forward looking一些。

想知道正在申请的朋友们和读INSEAD的前辈们有什么看法

just talk about your strength and weakness - it is an essay about

self-reflection and you can be free to choose whatever format that you

believe will help you most
