Ice Breaker Analysis

I believe that over the course of time I have acquired both of these types of minds. I was born in a time where the internet was fairly new and hadn’t reached into the homes of most American’s. I believe at this time and years prior, people were all born with the linear mind. I remember being able to concentrate on assignments rather well. I also enjoyed reading books while I was younger.

When leading an established or developing team it is important to recognise any challenges that may occur and deal with it as soon as possible to try and prevent the issue escalating.

On my paternal side I have German, French, Spanish, and Prussian ancestry. On my maternal side I have Italian, German, and Polish ancestry.

The strategies/resources I used includes the ice-breaker handout. I used the ice-breaker handout to use at the beginning of the session. I also used a few websites to find activities to use during the middle of the session after I educated the group on the topics.

Left-right brain dominance is about the fact that the distinct hemispheres influence thinking. The left hemisphere is associated with logical, analytical thinking and a linear approach to problem solving. The right hemisphere is associated with creative, intuitive and value-based thought process. It is important to note that everyone uses its both hemispheres, but to varying degrees. Four quadrants of the brain, related to different thinking style, have been identified:

I use sequence as needed. I usually tend to think about a situation before I decide which pattern to use. I evaluate the task and base my pattern on what needs to be done. I am able to use sequence comfortably enough but I do not usually organize or plan things out unless I need to. When using sequence I really have to sit down and think about what it is I am being asked to do, and then plan the best course of action. I take my time and try to make sure I am staying on task and following steps to complete the task successfully. Using sequence can be somewhat frustrating for me because I don’t always like sticking to a plan I prefer to just do whatever works for me, but there are situations I have learned from experience that do require some degree of planning. Going back to the example I used during this week’s discussion, I plan things like when my husband and I move from base to base. I plan this because there are a lot of steps and details that can and will get over looked if we don’t take the time to figure everything out beforehand. I learned from our first move that we need to do this in order to be successful and not have last minute issues arise, such as us being unable to ship my vehicle due to specific restrictions from our financing company. We weren’t given any information before hand and didn’t find this out until it was too late for us to be able to do anything about it. This is what taught me to research all the information and have my husband ask things in

I graded higher in my intuitiveness above sensing, I can see this at work in my life because it can be very difficult for me to make decisions on sensing. I like to examine all sides when it comes to a major decision verses everyday minor ones.

No 'National Imperative' For Icebreakers is an article published by Kamala Keller on The Arctic Newswire. It was published on August 26, 2015. This article would be in the political and environmental categories.

Introverted Thinking is least apparent and most enigmatic in this type. In fact, it often appears only when summoned by Feeling. At times only in jest, but in earnest if need be, Thinking entertains as logical only those conclusions which support Feeling's values. Other scenarios can be shown invalid or at best significantly inferior. Such "Thinking in the service of Feeling" has the appearance of logic, but somehow it never quite adds up.

Right brain? Left brain? Both sides are very different and have their own characteristics that help determine what a persons potential strengths and weaknesses will be. “The human brain is split into two halves, each with its own unique abilities. This phenomenon, discovered three decades ago by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Roger Sperry and his associates at the California Institute of Technology, is known as brain lateralization” (Raudsepp, 1992, p. 85). Certain characteristics of a person can go so much deeper then just hobbies that a person enjoys. Brain function can play a major role in how a person perceives their surroundings, such as if someone like to draw or do math. On the other side of that if a person is very analytical and good at subjects in school such as math it could be linked to which side of their brain is dominant.

Funny, I sometimes think my left and right brain are in conflict, or I’m simply using both. I’ve a strong business acumen (over 25 years in business), a sharp eye for detail, plus a longtime passion for building client relationships. I’m logical, analytical. Contrasting, I enjoy utilising my creative flair; I’m intuitive and attentive.

During the first meeting with my group, I plan on going through the first five pages of the guru book. This will entail gathering the names of everyone in the group, establishing the rules of the guru group meetings, and doing icebreakers with the freshmen in my group. There are a few goals that I hope to achieve over the course of this first session. One is that I will have memorized the group members names, what towns they are from, and what kind of extracurriculars they plan on participating in. Of course, if one or more of them does not anticipate engaging in after school activities, I will be sure to encourage involvement. The point of this goal is so that I can get to know each of them better, and possibly get a feel for what type of person they are.

For many decades people have been considered to be either right or left side dominant in regards to brain function which came with defined roles such as “creative” or “analytical”. This thinking tends to be over-simplified as most people use their entire brains daily (Jensen, 2010). On the other hand people do use different parts of their brain for different tasks according to how they perceive those tasks.

10) According to _____ approach, your brain houses a "mind" whose mental processes allow you to remember, make decisions, plan, set goals, and be creative. (1 pt) cognitive

Someone with thinking personality has the greater ability of doing things in logical manner and he tends to pay more attention on the bigger picture of the given task.
