My last name begins with the letter C; therefore, I completed the CD-RISC scale. This scale was based on calculations that were ranked from 0 meaning not at all to 4 meaning all of the time. After ranking the twenty-five statements my average was 72 with a mean of 2.88. The statements consisted of ideas related to goals, strengths/weaknesses, confidence, abilities, purpose, and leadership. Some statements had an emotional state to them; for intense, knowing and understanding I was put on this Earth for a purpose and that everything happens for a reason. Also, some of the statements made me think more deeply than others about what it was really asking me before I was able to put a number on it. A few even boosted my confidence level by knowing
The DAS is a 40-item assessment that measures cognitive distortion. The items of the DAS represent seven value systems: approval, love, achievement, perfectionism, entitlement, omnipotence, and autonomy. The DAS is a Likert-type scale, from one to seven, with one representing “totally agree” and seven representing “totally disagree.” The DAS has a mean score of 113. Scores range from 40 to 280, with lower scores equaling fewer cognitive distortions. Kimberly’s raw score on this assessment was 177. Kimberly was given this assessment to determine her ability to fit into the position
The next test I took was the self-awareness test. This assessment investigates how well I know myself. My score on this test was 55, just slightly below average. It asked questions about how well I know my personal beliefs and how open I am to structural criticism and feedback. It also asked if I had a friend that I would confide in and ask for advice from. Anyone who knows my best friend and me knows we tell each other absolutely everything, argue, and debate about almost anything. She is also one of the few people whose opinion and advice I will
The Personality Survey was to determine if I had a hardi personality. Before starting the assessment, I predicted I would be classified with the hardi personality because I handle stress well. The categories I scored highest on were “I consider myself an optimist”, “I approach new situations with the idea that I will learn something valuable”, and “I am strong willed”. The one I resonate with most is the one about new situations because I moved to
As I reflected on the results of this assessment, it helped me to think about the overarching problem that hinders me to have a thriving lifestyle, financial struggles. I honestly think that financial
Attached are copies of the stock certificates which I believe were returned some time ago. I did research the DBS hard files, and the certificates are no longer here in our office. I am sorry that I cannot provide greater assistance in this matter. Please let me know if there is anything else that you need.
My results were nine out of thirty-three my score was average. I answered the questions truthfully, considering I’m a psychology major, but I knew the wrong answers was wrong. I could have answered the incorrect question that way the author of the assessment test, correctly. I didn’t want to cheat my true feelings in order to gain least incorrect answers. I normally don’t seek the approval of others in what I say or do, but I did think I would have gotten least wrong answers. I do agree with my results, I show an average degree of concern for the social desirability. I agree with the fact I conform to social rules and conventions.
After reviewing the CRI (Conley Readiness Index) I have identified a couple of aspects of myself in my educational career that are very beneficial, and also very detrimental to my overall success in college, aspects such as my financial aid awareness and my procedural awareness are the highest I scored on. While I scored poorly on some very key aspects such as communication and precision/accuracy which both fall under the think portion of the CRI.
Thinking about this topic I found myself stuck in some aspects. Taking these tests and thinking about who I am to myself and my peers is not a regular thing I have thought about before. After assessing, I had learned things about myself that I have never noticed before, such as how independent I am, my honesty, my mean side, my less confident sides, and all my weird sides. While taking these tests I also had thought about how I was brought up into the world.
4C. Self-Care (attention to personal health and well-being to assure effective professional functioning). I would like perform a self-care activity daily either alone, with my partner o with friends. Since my supervisor has a strong background in meditation and mindfulness, I would also like to dedicate the first 5-7 minutes of individual supervision to do a relaxing activity guided by my supervisor.
A certain Tibetan test that I took was correct on certain aspects of myself. It told me that I think of myself as intelligent and that one of my best friends is a true friend. Those were both true, while it also said that I value pride above all else and my career is one of the things I care less about in life. This was incorrect for I value my career highly and do not value pride above other things. Another test that we also took said many things that were correct to a certain degree, such as that I am logical and like to be challenged. This test was in fact very correct about myself. I thought the Keirsey Test was better, because it gave more data on myself, as well as a better description and elaboration. These were all very good tests in their own right, but for myself the Keirsey was the most exact and
When taking the Clifton Strengths Finder test I agreed with my results, for the most part, the only thing that I disagreed with was how when put together my strengths come together in areas that only work if others are involved and for me who is not really a sociable person that does not sit well with me.
My DISC results came out to be pretty accurate. My highest is critical and then dominant. I think I am very critical because I love to have everything planned and I search for approval with other people. Dominant was next and I think that was right because I love being competitive and accepting challenges. I was a little bit steady, but I do not think that fits me because I am a planner. It is very difficult for me to just go with the flow.
Throughout the semester and the various self-assessments that I have completed, I managed to learn a few things about myself that I never really put much thought into. By looking at the various models and scales, such as the five-factor model for better understanding and essentially breaking down key parts of someone’s personality, the MBTI personality test, the locus of control assessment, and the various learning and career-based assessments, I am better able to understand myself and how I need to move forward in pursuing the smart goals I make.
Do you believe that these scores are accurate in assessing your current state of well-being? Why or why not?
I was pretty sure that in certain categories I was going to score in a more descent range. My top strongest areas ended up being physical-risk prevention and my spiritual average. One of my strengths for the risk prevention I considered would be I guess, seeing a lot of the after school programs on television every day. Another was my mom telling my sister and I that if we ever were to misbehave in school, our grandfather who worked for the Kent County Juvenile Court System, would lock us up. So having those reminders helped me to stay away from the dangerous street drugs and the alcohol abuse. My second strength would be the fact I’ve kept my virginity and I’m only 25 years old. It hasn’t been any way easy but during my high school and early college years, I’ve observed so many classmates and friends having babies out of wedlock and the couples end up splitting shortly before or after the baby was born. In order to prevent that from happening to me, I made a personal decision to become celibate because I wanted to raise children and share that experience with my future
