Final Project: Interview Profile

4. Application/ Synthesis- we learned how to take gained knowledge coupled with new information and synthesize it into an expression of our own learning.

I have interviewed a very good friend of mines and to my surprise she has different views on a lot of things than I do. Although I always thought of us as being so much the same and we truly are in a lot of ways, I come to see that we really are different in so many. Before the interview process with my friend that I will call Nikki for now, this is not her name but just to keep the interview confidential as promised this is what I will refer to her as.

Recent advancements in technology offer the organizations of today and the future boundless opportunities for improvements in service delivery. Although experts agree that the alignment of technology and the overall business strategy is both necessary and imperative, no clear path to optimum alignment exists. Christopher Nuckles, a IT Director I interviewed demonstrated full awareness of this fact. he and the company’s CIO, Matt Carey, and the executive IT leaders and displayed optimism the “interconnected retail strategy” they have for the company will ensure that Home Depot remains the product authority for home improvement. As part of the technical team that developed, enhanced, or supported several of the technological systems at Home Depot, Nuckles believes that the key to a successful technological future is innovation. Nuckles recognizes that the biggest hurdle for the Home Depot technology is the emerging e-commerce and he adds that Home Depot is ready for the boom. He explains that plans are underway to optimize the Home Depot mobile application entirely and make it available on all platforms so that the company remains relevant as technology keeps advancing.

A person’s personality is his or her essence. It is what guides decisions, emotions, and even thoughts. Some may wonder if it is possible to explore every nuance of such a complex part of a being, but there are ways to determine what type of personality a person has, and then branch off into a more detailed examination of that person specifically. Combined with other factors, such as personality disorders and the environment that someone has grown up in, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, test (Enrichment 1) and analysis can determine an accurate portrayal of a personality. Created in 1943 by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, it is a system made up of four basic functions and sub functions that combine to make a personality type. The mother and daughter team constructed it off of Jung’s theories (History 2). Based on this system, one of the most common personality types in the US population is called an ESTJ, and one of the least common personality types is called an INFJ. There are many differences and similarities between these two types. An ESTJ personality, overall, is practical, fact-based, and outgoing, whereas an INFJ personality is more private and makes decisions based on feelings; however, both are organized people who make good leaders and are capable of great success in roles that involve helping others.

In our media centered culture that we live in we rarely have to think for ourselves or use any critical thinking skills. Before we have a chance to analyze something we are being told what to think and say about the issue. Even with the movie going straight to video on demand it still earned $18 million in the first weekend. They say that all press is good press, thus the huge scandal surrounding the movie only helped to promote it

Taking the Meyers Briggs Assessment always sparked skepticism in my heart because I always got different results. After taking the test again for this class, I changed my mind about how I feel about the test. The skepticism that I felt was partially rooted in my distaste in being analyzed, which ironically is part of my personality. With this in mind, taking the test once more sparked a different feeling. Not only was I somewhat surprised with my result, but my belief in the tests accuracy definitely strengthened. My test results have changed over time and the fact that the results change seems to support the scientific fact that people can change certain elements of their personality with

Humans are complex and interesting. All humans have feelings and the ability to think, and yet we are all different. What makes us differ? Psychologists and researchers have been trying to answer this question and continue to develop patterns in how our life experiences and environment help to make us who we are. The way we learn, remember, our attitudes, personality and what motivates us are some of the variables that contribute to molding us. To develop a better understanding of how these things affect us, I will compare my husband, Jim, to myself. Jim and I are close in age and race, but come from different

The test was based on Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs- Myers’ typological approach to personality. The test characterizes ones personality into one of the sixteen types, depending on “preference or general attitude” of the test taker towards “extraverted vs. introverted,” “sensing vs. intuition,” “thinking vs. feeling,” and “judging vs. perceiving.” I decided to take this test because of the close tie it had to our text, considering its based on Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers, and also because I had taken a similar test a while back and wanted to see if I would “score” the same personality, which I

Researchers define learning as a permanent change in performance of individuals undergoing the process of adaptation. Learning is considered as an act of individual to enhance his knowledge. Every person in this world will pay proper attention to what he learns, how he learns, and when he learns. There are specific learning styles for each one of us and it differs from person to person. And, it is due to this reason that researchers have defined nature of learning as paradoxical.

My Meyers Briggs type is INTJ (Introverted Intuition with extraverted thinking). I can say that the descriptions that I found regarding INTJ’s fit me very well, for better or worst. It gave an accurate depiction of the high value that I assign to intelligence, knowledge, and competence. It also says that these personality types make great scientist, but I hate science. I do live in my own head and think “big picture” and systematically. The report spoke a lot about the importance that the individual is socially and emotionally developed, as well as having developed senses as to not miss small details.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was originally constructed to serve as a personality type indicator for personnel selection purposes.Today, usage is different from when the test was originally developed. The MBTI is now used for anyone that wants to know what their results would be, whether they need it or not. The test is available for professional administration, likely for a fee, and self administration, at no monetary cost. The test results can yield sixteen different combinations of the four dichotomous categories which include: extroverted (E) or introverted (I), intuitive (N) or sensing (S), thinking (T) or feeling (F),

Have you ever sat down and wondered how you became the person you are today? Or maybe, sat down and thought about who you actually grown to be? If you are like me than most likely your answer to these questions would be no, and that’s fine. Psychology plays a major role in the way we are brought up and who we are today. Believe it or not, the way we are taught and the way we are are today deals with the way our brain has grown and developed throughout our years on this earth. During psychology class, I learned about many different theories that different people came up with to clarify how we act today. In this paper i’m going to use my knowledge of learning, development, stress and health, and personality theories and integrate them with my life.

The project brief is the description of the client requirements to develop the asset built area of the project. The statement describes the possible needs required for the project. Basing on this document the design of the built area is based. There are different stages in the information flow of the project briefing process. The different stages are the project brief stage and the concept design stage. The information flow goes from the clients, consultants and different stakeholders during the design development. There has be a proper co-ordination between the client and the lead consultant. The project brief should have the complete information about the site surveys, site information and site appraisals. The project brief should talk about the accommodation that exists. There has be workshops conducted with the champions in the field and there has to be panels for the users in which they describe their needs, expectations and priorities. The inputs from other stakeholders are taken and all of those inputs are discussed. There is a wider consultation process that goes on. They will be user surveys that are taken up and analysis is done basing on that. Inputs from the authorities like local authority and heritage organizations are taken up.

Psychology, by definition, is the science that studies behavior and the physiological and cognitive processes that underline it (Weiten, G-6). However, to truly understand and learn psychology it is necessary to apply the acquired knowledge to real-life situations. To demonstrate, I’ll use myself as an example and apply various psychological concepts to situations from my own life. For example, I will explain how learning through conditioning has influenced my behavior and how it is possible for my memories to differ from my sibling’s memories for the same event. I will also address what motivates me to succeed as well as how I am affected by stress and how I have learned to cope with it in my daily activities. I will also explain how my personality makes me more susceptible to certain diseases. Finally, I will explain how stereotypes and expectations of obedience have impacted my life.
