Leadership, Communication, And Problem Solving Career Center

My initial reactions to the results of both tests were that both were a fair an accurate description of my management and leadership style and of my personality type. The results were consistent with results of taking the Meyers-Briggs several times in the past. In the past when taking this test I go between Sensing and Intuition. I believe that the results of both are consistent with how friends, peers, and subordinates view me.

Upon graduating high school, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I didn’t want to be like a lot of my friends and use college as an excuse to party all night and be lazy all day. So I decided to apply for a full time position as a diesel mechanic at Utility Fleet Sales so that I could at least begin earning income. Soon after starting this position, I realized that I wanted more. I decided to attend night classes at Blinn community college while continuing to work full time. I had no idea on what degree I wanted to work towards, but for the first time in my life I began to enjoy school. As I finished my first year at Blinn and second year working as a technician, I was promoted to an inside parts associates. This position introduced me to inventory management, building relationships with customers, cost management and basic accounting. I really enjoyed applying the mechanical knowledge I learned from working as a technician, towards my new position of

For example, the MBTI personality assessment gave me a better understanding of myself and my personality. It made me acknowledge my strengths and weaknesses on my perception of things. I tend to have strong values and beliefs, which motivates me to do things that support them, however I’m still open-minded to new things. I like to be original but still creative and independent. Even though I am reserved, I tend to help others out of the kindness of my heart. The characteristics that describes my personality has helped me explore the major I will choose and the different careers that would be best for my personality and

Beginning my post-secondary education at Frostburg University, I was looking for an institution that would be able to satisfy my interests and hobbies. All throughout my educational career, I have always been interested in computer science, coding, and networking with different jobs in business and management. Living close to College Park, it was always an idea to attend a school that would be able to branch out to my interest. Coming out of high school, I was at a disadvantage— my time management skills were strong, but not where they should have been. I lacked the discipline needed to excel in computer science, but I was luckily set around the right people to guide me in the right direction. my close friends were able to introduced me to

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

Attending college gives the student a considerable amount of knowledge before entering their career. Pursuing a bachelor’s degree usually takes four years for the average student. During these years, students are studying all aspects and information about their future career

When I first took the Myer Briggs personality test I was unsure about what this test would uncover about my personality or if it would even be accurate. After figuring out that my personality type was classified as ISFJ or introverted, sensing, feeling, and judging, I felt my skepticism subside and was eager to find out how this would compare to my actual personality. Much to my surprise the results of the Myer Briggs test described my personality flawlessly and educated me on what kind of qualities people that share my personality have. The more I read about my personality type the more I could see how it related to my life such as my career goals, relationships, and how God might use my personality for his kingdom.

A career coach works towards letting you find the actual meaning and purpose at workplace.

The courses I took at Southwestern College helped me to develop a deeper understanding about human interaction, leadership as a concept, the importance of effective communication, and how to be apply critical thinking and ethical reasoning to all areas of my professional and personal life. Each new course brought new insight and understanding about my own leadership and followership abilities, as well as, greater understanding about the leaders in my life and my coworkers. I have a defined professional goal because of my educational experiences, and feel greater satisfaction with my current job and professional relationships than I did when I began my studies.

I have been always sceptical about personality tests, seeing them as another form of horoscope or fortune cookies, which establish a set of vague of personalities descriptions. Although I was aware that Myers Briggs personality test are used by companies all over the world, I knew that they lack scientific credibility.

Based on the work of Carl Jung, Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs developed the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator, a self-inventory geared toward helping individuals determine their personality types and individual areas of strength. “By helping people understand themselves, Myers and Briggs believed that they could help people select occupations that were best suited to their personality types and lead healthier, happier lives” (Cherry, 2015). This test, through helping me explore my own personality, likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and various preferences and compatibilities, has been instrumental in affirming my

Finding a specific career path can not only be difficult, but it can also induce bouts of anxiety, anger, and sadness over a crucial part of an individual’s life. Settling on a career can be unnerving when thinking about the fact that this is the career that you spend thousands of dollars on in college, that this is the career you will work in until you retire. With this course, I’ve found that it has been easier to narrow down a goal towards finding a career. Through career assessments, different assignments and discussions, I have realized what my barriers and strengths are. Overcoming these and improving these skills or applying them to an actual career assisted me in narrowing my goal as well. I am now able to clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of my career goal and to think clearer about the next steps that I will take after this course.
