Achiever Self Assessment

This week’s assignment started by directing us to complete a self-assessment, which I felt was a well laid out chart with established skills and a level in which to rate yourself from 1 being poor up to 5 being good. I think it was a good exercise, giving us a better insight to our strengths and weaknesses. I do in fact think that I learned something new about myself and could more easily answer the question of “tell me your strengths and weaknesses”, which is often asked at interviews or promotion boards.

Based on the Clifton Strengths Assessment my top five strengths are strategic, deliberative, learner, maximize and individualization. As an individual, I rarely look into my weakness. I believe that when your too focused on your weakness, you forget about your strengths. Everything the book said is true, and we need to take the time to look at our strengths and make it perfect. It is true that in this world or the school system, we are taught to look at our weakness and correct it so that we can become stronger in our life. This book brings out the truth that I longed to hear for a long time. Invariably, I hear my professor tell their students that for them success in life, they must practice and look at our weakness. This book proves it wrong because for us to become successful, we must stay to our strengths’ path.

I like to be Faced with any given scenario they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.. I improve things about myself and other people or situations. I am “fascinated by problems that puzzle,confound or frustrate most people”. My other strength is Belief. I have certain core values that are unchanging. My family is my top priority and I am driven by my talents. The strengthsquest helped me understand who really I am. I am always been an independent person who wants to complete every wish my family dreams about. A person who’s only goal in life is to make my life proud. It helped me understand what are my quantiles that my friends and family like about me. It showed me what are my strong point are like my beliefs. It also helped me what my strong leadership skills

While this tool outlines by strengths, they also pointed out the areas that need to work on. For example, being guarded, needing to be more analytical, committed and organized. I believed that people think that I am guarded because I am cautious in what I do. I just don’t go out and do it without consulting with others. I don’t see this as a weakness. I am not sure why one person puts that I am not Analytical. In my line of work, you have to use logical, be systematic and be investigative. This is what I do for a living. Maybe, that person thinks I need to have more of this quality

After taking the assessment, my top five strengths were identified to be: restorative, empathy, developer, adaptability and strategic (in that order). A person that is restorative enjoys facing new

I agree with your post. Achievers was my primary group after taking the VALS survey. I too am fully dedicated to God, my family, and obtaining the career that I desire. Likewise, I like to accomplish the tasks and goals I set for myself. Furthermore, I believe this group was very accurate for me being my primary group as it truly shows how influential and important the main aspects of the group are to my life. I was given Innovators as my secondary group and some portions of that I agreed with and some I did not.

Student Answer: Peak Performers come from different walks of life, gender and beliefs. A Peak Performer is a thinker, a person who doesn't give up on the information to find the quick answer such as the people described by, Charles Garfield, (1986). They are organized and prepared as they live their daily lives. They are the Alpha male. However, to be this person you must posses the desire to be structured as well as a little daring. The structured lives they live gives them the balance and passion that keeps them dreaming. They know it won't happen over night and are prepared for the long adventure that's ahead of them. They enjoy the journey and it becomes a part of them and not just an obstacle to hurdle. I think many people dream and aspire

This essay is my review on what it means to be a peak performer. These are people who are not negative and have a positive outlook on life . They have goals and take a steppingstone daily toward the goal set. According to Bethel University(2013), " Peak performers are those who become masters at creating excellence by focusing on results."(pg.6)

Certain characteristics allow people to be extra successful in their careers. I feel as though my mechanical aptitude, positive attitude and strong work ethic will make me a successful diesel mechanic. These characteristics are what sets me apart from my peers.

The person who has the immense talent that helps them to be anything they want to be.

The self-assessment test is a test to rate where you stand on certain skills. I am not really sure on how I felt with this considering I had more low numbers than high, I would have to say that I feel weakness. I learned that with taking this test I have weakness and strengths, also made me realize that I need to work on more than I thought.

The three words that I would use to describe my personality are ambitious, friendly, and dedicated. The reason I am choosing these terms are because I have always been told that I am very ambitious. I have many dreams and goals in my life and I never settle for less than I know I deserve. Sometimes being this way is harder than it seems because I’ve been in situations where I have given up a lot just to keep moving forward to better myself. The next word that describes me is friendly. Overall I am a very friendly person and I always try my best to be happy. Even if I have a problem I won’t reflect my personal issues at work or let them interfere with my school. I have a great ability to separate one aspect from another. Lastly dedication, I

After taking the assessment, I learned that my five greatest areas of weakness are: Seeking support from others, Retaining written information, Time-management skills, Management and leadership of people and Creative-problem solving (Bethel University, 2014). When taking a closer look at my areas of weakness, I was able to see that my many of my weaknesses are similar because they have to do with the confidence that I lack. For example, take seeking support from others or management and leadership of people. I have issues with

• Creativity and Innovation: Competence to produce new thoughts/approaches and get them going. Continuously do best for give practical shape to his/her thoughts.

Hence they are able to foresee the possible outcomes of the task and this will help the group to effectively communicate with vision of the possible solution. This kind of personality is clearly found on someone who is the go-getter and someone who is creative.
