The assessment gives my strengths as listening, teamwork, reliability and follow-through and my weaknesses as oversensitive, slow to begin action, and poor at goal setting. I definitely agree with these strengths and weaknesses. I can be oversensitive and sometimes it puts me at a disadvantage because people think they can take advantage of me and my kind-heartedness. This could not be farther from the truth, as I have gotten older I have gotten wiser and wiser. I usually take things people say and do
I want this to be on a personal level to each person I meet. I believe that if you really got to know my heart, my serving and selfless heart, hopefully “good” might be an understatement. However, if you catch me on a bad day, good might be completely erased from your mind. Although there is a lot of good to me, I am human. One thing you would able to see is that I get stressed very easily.
However, where there is strength, there is also weakness. Although I hold compassion close to me and I use my emotional side to the fullest, it has a tendency to make me too hard-hearted. Whatever I believe in my heart to be the right thing, is usually what I will go after, without constraint. This means I could pass up a better opportunity because I’m too set in my way, mentally and emotionally. There are also some blind spots that I need to watch out for.
These adventures provided us with fun, stress, and new appreciation as lessons learned by life itself. We have laughed and cried together. We have found that sometimes we may feel alone but yet in other we were not. As students we have learned how to grow in those moments. The knowledge and opportunity which we have received, will serve us well as we embark on the journey of making our dreams come
Keeping my emotions in check will help me to think clearly and guide constructive communication; trying to dominate the resolution process will only frustrate the opposition. I will constructively listen to the thoughts and ideas of others and consider them honestly instead of trying to have my own way all of the time. My goal is to defeat my attitude of being a perfectionist. The key is being able to allow myself to make and except the mistakes of others. I do not have to be the best at everything.
He called this personality-type theory. The theory states that people feel that their job or profession is fulfilling if there is a match between some important features of their work and their personality (Holland 2002). I believe I will be successful because I will love what I do. Despite my past or anything in between I know I will be a person that helps others. Even if it’s just a little piece of the puzzle I provide I will have helped in some way give a family the closure they will need when they are in need of comfort.
My family had little money troubles and I was always well looked after. Although my mother was a tad strict at times, I believe that this helped me with my education and outlook on life. I believe I’m mature for my age, and look at life differently than my peers. I know live in shared accommodation, which has improved my mental state as this means I’m more able to do what I want when I want, without having to please anyone else. * Due to all this I believe that I that at work I am a reliable, hard working person.
I am grateful for everything they do for me, especially all the little things that I did not even realize or appreciate when living at home, but now living away from them I understand how much they do for me, and my brother and sister to keep us happy and content within life, and I will always love them, wherever I am in the world. Another major influence on my life, would be my friends and the friendships which I have created with many different people, of many different cultures and beliefs. I am constantly with my friends, and love nothing more than socializing with them, as we always manage to find something interesting and appealing to do. I have so many memories of being with my friends, and particularly now, within a new environment in a new country, I realize how
Though, I have good control on my emotional displays, at times I find certain emotions sticking for a little time in my conscious memory. I am an eternal optimist, thus tend to view things in different lights. I react less on events that others find serious, thus to some, I may give a non-serious perception, one lacking concern, and one lacking the intellect capacity to judge situations. At the same time, people reporting to me find my behavior to their advantage. They feel empowered as they find me reacting less to many negative feedback about them, or meddling less with their day-to-day plans, and actions.
Everything that came up under “Challenges” was true for me. The challenges that related to me most were having difficulty managing time and losing interest in long, complex projects. However, the suggested strategies for these challenges are actually very helpful and I will definitely be using these suggestions from now on in both my short and long-term career goals. I learned that I am a Thinker rather than a Feeler – meaning I base my decisions on logic versus values. I have always thought I was more likely to use my feelings to make decisions rather than what my head tells me – but this assessment says otherwise.
