Life Styles Inventory

One experience in my life where I was successful and used these specific personality dimensions was when I was a Production Supervisor at a fast paced food manufacturing plant. I learned the process inside and out which enabled me to step in and help out when needed at many levels of the production process. The trust that I gained and willingness to step in and help at any level also gave me respect and trust which in a goal oriented fast paced production

My top five strengths are Responsibility, Learner, Discipline, Belief, and Developer. The characteristics of “Responsibility” are following through commitment, take ownership, trust worthy, and make sure the work get it done right. The characteristics of “Learner” is looking for an opportunity to learn and grow. Next, “Discipline” is organized, ordered, and structured. As well as seek for efficiency and plan ahead before the deadline. The characteristics of “Belief” are family-oriented, altruistic, spiritual, value responsibility, and high ethics. Lastly, “Developer’s” characteristics is helping others to

One of them being conscientiousness. Conscientious people are very driven and orderly. They set goals and firm plans to achieve these goals. Rarely are they spontaneous or disorganized. My score within the Big Five Personality Profile was moderate for conscientiousness. I would say that I do exhibit some of these characteristics. I can be very organized and reliable. As a weakness, I find that I am not always a self-starter. I will set goals and stick to them, but need that push from others to get started. For instance, I was given the opportunity to work on an exciting new project at work that involves direct feedback from employees that I would personally deliver to upper management. This would be a big responsibility as I would be representing hundreds of employees and voice the current concerns of our group. I was asked to think it over. While processing the position, three others volunteered and I lost out of the opportunity. I took my time and wasn’t as organized in my decision making, therefore I missed out greatly.

The life styles inventory is a survey of questions that help us to gain an insight into our own personality and what type of behaviors we exert to others as individuals. It helps us to look at the positive and negative qualities of our personalities and ways to improve upon them. A look at my LSI styles complex radiates that my primary thinking style is linked to the avoidance category. The avoidance scale states that I tend to use the strategy of withdrawal by hiding my feelings and being shy to express myself. It also states that as things become more threatening to me the more I tend to avoid those situations. These thinking styles are linked to feelings of denying responsibility for my own

One of the many flaws I have encountered with myself is that I don’t deal well with confrontation .Another weakness of mine is that when someone troughs to much information at me all at once it’s hard understand it all in. The last flaw I have noticed about myself is that I am too hard on myself, but I am working to improve it. On the Other hand my strengths are that I am always on time. I take criticism well and try and improve on whatever skill’s I am lacking. Last strength of mine is that I am a hard-worker. I would be as motivated at my job, every day from the first day they hired me to the last. I would like to think of myself as a nice and humble person. I treat everyone the same with respect. The reason why I am interested in this field of work is because, I love helping people. I know I would excel in this field of work because it’s a part of life. The reason a company should hire me is because I will excel their expectations, I will always work to my fullest. I work well with anyone and everyone, I am a very reliable person. I’m very neat and clean, I know where I am going, and what i want out of my life. I enjoy change, I believe everything happens for a reason. I may take a day or two to adapt to the new environment, but I just take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

How would you describe yourself as a person? This is always the first question you get asked when conducting an interview whether it be for a job, a date, or a place to stay, people are always going to what to know about your personality and related history but how they go about finding it is the tricky part. For some people for its not as easy to give away everything about oneself others tend to be more fictitious but by the end of the day the individual with the most work on their shoulders is the interviewer because they to will have to construct a profile of the person they just met. By reading his profile of Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl he automatically gives a introduction to who Dave Grohl is in the second paragraph of page 622

Based on the LSI self development guide, because I have high ratings in "power", "perfectionists", "opposition", and "competition", I am supposed to be generally unpleasant to be around. I am supposedly very "dominating" in the varying relationships I have around others. However, I do not sense this at all from when I interactive with others. It is true that I am really hard on myself and I try to do my best all the time, but I do not ever purposely try to imply my belief system onto

This experiment focuses on the average personality traits of Texas A&M students, which we evaluate using descriptive statistics. We can use descriptive statistics to subscribe, show, or summarize data from a population in meaningful ways. By calculating multiple factors taken from the population, we can find the central tendency and variability. These two values gives us the most important information. The central tendency gives us the most typical or most representative score. These central tendency values are mean, median, and mode. Variability gives us the extent to which the scores in a group differ from each other. These include the range, average deviation, variance, and standard deviation. In this report, by examining the

Based on the LSI self development guide, because I have high ratings in "power", "perfectionists", "convention", and "competition", I am supposed to be generally unpleasant to be around. I am supposedly very "dominating" in the varying relationships I have around others. However, I do not sense this at all from when I interactive with others. It is true that I am really hard on myself and I try to do my best all the time, but I do not ever purposely try to imply my belief system onto others. I will speak my mind for what 's its worth, but that is about as far as I will go when I encounter a conflict or an objection. I am a strong believer in that everyone is a rational being and should be able to think for themselves. I get along with almost all my friends, family and even random strangers that I meet. I would say the LSI styles that I am most strong at are a reflection on my work atmosphere rather than my social and personal life.

Upon completion of the LSI I was quite surprised by some of the results. My Primary personal thinking style was self-actualization. My backup personal thinking styles were perfectionist and achievement.

Human Synergistic International’s Life style Inventory survey has provided me with very insightful information on my thinking and

My “primary” personal thinking style as shown in my circumplex is The Humanistic-Encouraging Style. This style means that I am “accepting of myself, and accept others for who they are without question or criticism” (Human 2010). Humanistic-Encouraging individuals believe they can “assist others in fulfilling their potential by providing a supportive climate that inspires self-improvement” (Human 2010). I believe that this very accurate summation of myself. This can easily be seen at my previous job as a waiter. I was often asked to train new employees because I was considered sensitive to people 's needs, and was willing to devote energy to counseling and coaching others. I also consider this style accurate about

The life Styles Inventory (LSI) is developed by Dr. J. Clayton Lafferty. LSI are measures 12 specific styles of patterns of thinking that can either help or hinder a person from reaching his or her potential. The 12 styles measures by LSI are organized into three general clusters: Constructive, Passive/Defensive, Aggressive/Defensive. Research has shown that the styles measures by the LSI are related to a number of indicators of effectiveness and success, including leadership effectiveness, management effectiveness, problem solving effectiveness, quality of interpersonal relations, salary, organizational level, individual health and well being, and organization culture.

For Project B, that utilizes the Personal Style Inventory, I choose my boyfriend, Cameron. The Personal Style Inventory gave information that distinguished the similarities and the differences between my boyfriend and I in different aspects, such as both of us preferring extraversion versus introversion. Before completing the Personal Style Inventory, I already felt like my boyfriend and I had pretty dramatic differences in our personalities. As we completed the Personal Style Inventory, I discovered that we did have some differences and none of the scores were really close to each other. In each of the scales, our scores went in opposite directions.

Although I am not currently a manager in my department, I am the manager of my classroom. My LSI reflects how I manage my classroom pretty accurately. In regards to planning, I think the self-actualizing illustrates my planning style. According to the LSI analysis, I am effective because I am able to see possibilities and opportunities in most situations. I take an open-minded, flexible approach to my classroom activities and lab exercises, and I like to ensure that my students do the same. I don’t like doing the same old thing every day, yet at the same time I maker certain my students know exactly what we are doing every day so that they know what to expect. With leading, I feel affiliative is what drives my organizational skills. According to the analysis, I get satisfaction from my own goals, and may have a tendency to impose these goals on my students. I like to help my students discover for themselves the power of personal goal setting. With organizing, I think perfectionistic describes my style. Although I didn’t score especially high in that category, I am highly organized and know exactly what I am doing each and every day I go into the classroom, even weeks ahead of time. It sometimes can be a hindrance, as it tends to lead to a lack of
