Jaclyn Mihal: Peer Analysis

I have to agree my assessment results are congruent with my personality. As an extravert, I am extremely talkative and social. I enjoy interacting with individuals on a daily basis and being able to communicate through speech. It was no surprise when I saw my extraversion score at a high level. I tend to be a very agreeable person. I am always helping others and putting their needs before my own. Sympathy and caring are personality traits learned over the last few years in my life. I am an extremely conscientious person, who is always controlling my surrounding environments. I rely heavily on myself and am determined to achieve my life goals. I figured my neuroticism score would be high, since I am filled with anxiety, depression, and fear. My ability to adjust to change is not the greatest, which affects my emotional stability. The

The extroversion results, which suggest I tend to be overly talkative, outgoing and sociable, prove true. Throughout my entire life, I have always been a very outgoing, talkative person who always happened to speak her mind, most commonly at the wrong times. The orderliness results, which suggest I can be overly organized, neat and structured, are also accurate. I like to have order in my life, so that there is always something to fall back on in case things do go awry. I cannot function at my best in a messy, cluttered and disorganized environment. As a child, I was diagnosed with a mild anxiety disorder which help confirm the results I got for the emotional stability section. As for the accommodation section, I normally like things to go my way. This helps explain my results for inquisitiveness section as well because I do not tend to have a very open mind, just as my results

Social- Some children grow up in socially disadvantaged areas, poor housing conditions, low income households and single parent families, this in turn may affect a child’s learning development and restrict communication, and how you approach a family whose child may be affected due to their social background circumstances should be aware of the manner in which you approach them. Listening in a non-judgemental way and understanding, not criticising can lead to effective communication.

I am a breathtaking, stunning, and outstanding student. I am these things because I know that even before reading this essay, the first thing you read was my name. Most of the faculties that are reading this essay are probably thinking, “oh, it’s another Asian student whose name I’m not sure how to pronounce,” or “that sandwich for lunch was good, I should’ve taken another bite before I came here.” Before anything else, I am Hmong. It’s a subculture that is quite spread throughout Southeast Asia. I was born in Thailand and immigrated to the United States in October 2004. There are seven members in my father’s household. Having a Confucian ideology binded within me, I almost always put my family’s needs before my own. I would tell myself that if something does not benefit me, then I don’t need it. Then on, I hated going shopping like normal girls because I don’t want to burden my family with financial problems. If, however, I needed something, my mom would have already bought them for me. When my older sister entered her senior year in high school, I decided to do all the chores I could in the house. It was demanding and exhausting, but because I decided to do most of the chores, my sister finally had more time to herself and was

African American single parents have to balance being supportive, financially stabled, and positive towards raising their family.

My journal is going to be over Cierra’s cultural background. Cierra has a daughter named Chloe, they both are the ones that make up their family. Cierra was also born in the united states. She currently is working at AutoZone warehouse. In her family, she is of course the mother of Chloe but isn’t just her mom in this situation. Cierra also holds the father position which I find inspiring because she is able to fill two spots for her daughter. I grew up half my childhood without my father, so I understand her position by growing up and watching my mom raise three girls on her own. Cierra’s concept of health practice and belief in her family is to make sure her daughter gets the proper care when it comes to her appointments/ checkups to ensure

Calvert knows firsthand all the emotions when it comes to the worries of what people may say about her adoptive children. She knew that when she married older that having children and doing In Vitro Fertilization would not work out well for her and her husband. But she did not let that discourage her; instead she felt the need to impact a child’s life graciously, with the gift of a family. She first adopted her first daughter Cammie, who is of same ethnic descent as her, but she soon found out after adopting that the biological mother was pregnant again. Calvert knew in her heart no matter the ethnic difference between the little girls, that she wanted to keep Cammie and her sister together. Cammie’s new little sister, Jade, is half White and Caribbean, unlike Cammie who full white along with her adoptive parents. Calvert was once suggested to “learn about Caribbean cooking” (Muir and Moorhead 10) because of Jades descent. Calvert felt this was “patronizing” (Muir and Moorhead 11) towards Jade and Jade’s ethnic background. When Jade and Cammie ask about their biological parents and why they may look different from each other, Calvert answers in the most honest way she possibly can and provides the young girls with a picture book to show them who their biological

Her grandma always took care of her while his mother was at work, and her grandpa used to pick up every day.

She believes that her mother always gives her good advices. Her mother also let her to choose her future career, so she told her mother that she wants to be a nurse.

When picking my adolescent I had quite a few choices to pick from but I decided on my adolescent 15 year old sister since I know a lot about her and have seen first-hand how she is coping with this adolescent stage. Patricia is a normal 15 year old girl still in high school. She lives in a household of 7 with 3 older siblings and one younger one. She mentioned that she lived in a small home with three dogs, two fish, a bird and six other humans. Both her parents are field workers so they aren’t really at home much. Patricia has a younger 7 year old sister that she pays attention to a lot, they have a really close relationship, and she cares for her younger

This race was slightly different from the African American’s women. Some were engaging with their husbands or companions while others were enjoying teaching their children. The one group appeared that they were on dates and enjoying each other’s company, while the other group that focused on the entire family. The female ages were between 23 to 60 years old, and the men were between the ages of 25 to 60 years old. Within the group that I observed with children, the children ages were between 5 to 16 years old. This racial group there were occupying two different social roles. The first role was observed as the educator was with the females, and husbands with most of the families with the man occupying the female. This family used formal primary English as their language as they communicated between each

When interpreting the scores recorded, results show consistency for each trait. This is represented with the context as each trait has a high and low end to the scale but there is no negative or positive side. After combining empirical research and the results from the Individual Assessment Scale evidence suggests, according to my personally results. Having high Extroversion evidence indicates that high levels of extroversion correlates with people being more inclined to make friends therefore they are more likely to interact in class and attend study group sessions. Statistically proven students who preform this task have higher results (Donnellan, Oswald, Baird, & Lucas, 2006). Another interesting point identified was consistency between an average score in Behavioural Activation System (BAS) and average grades. A score in BAS relates to detecting goal conflict such as approach-avoidance, approach-approach, avoid-avoid and an average score suggests that when faced

According to my IPIP-NEO narrative report I am a very independent, outgoing, calm, and curious person. My comprehensive report shows that I am: high scoring in openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion, average scoring in agreeableness and low scoring in Neuroticism. Raking in the 82nd percentile, extraversion was my second highest scoring trait. This means I am pretty outgoing, extraverted and love people. This is evident my scores of 89 in friendliness, 84 in assertiveness and 75 in activity level. Despite my high score in extraversion, I am on the lower side of average in the excitement-seeking facet with a score or 33. This means that even though I might like a little hustle and bustle and take charge I wont take to many risks and don’t always need a thrill to be satisfied.
