Lsi Paper

Following rules isn’t really my thing, and neither is school. I’m so fed up with teachers and rude people telling me what to do. Stressed is an understatement. School is more like a hassle to me than something I’m committed to and want to pursue every day. It’s holding me back from the great things I am capable of. I could be seeking out new adventures and travels, meeting new people, traveling the world, experiencing different cultures, and becoming the person I want to be, not what everyone else wants me to be. School shapes people into someone that isn’t really them. Everyone judges and puts labels on people that makes them actually the person everyone else wants them to be. School should be meant to study what you are into and want to pursue in the future. Since school isn’t like this and has so many rules to follow, assignments, due dates, projects, and students and teachers to deal with, then I would rather do what I want and explore to find what I want to do in the future. We the people of the United States declare ourselves independent from

The Life Styles Conflict Inventory assignment gave me a chance to see on paper how my thinking styles influence my ability to deal with conflict situation. The life styles survey is geared towards helping individuals gain an insight into their own self development and personality along with the type of behaviors we exercise to others as well. By doing the survey, I have a better understanding on how I can constructively deal with conflict as an individual. The survey also helps us take a look on the positive and negative qualities of our own personalities and different ways we to build and improve upon them.

Conformity is a concept that has been heavily researched in the field of social psychology. Conformity is defined as a change in behavior, beliefs, and attitudes due to group pressure perceived as real (encompassing the presence of others) or imagined (encompassing the pressure of social standards) (Myers, 2010, p. 192). The concept of conformity is a powerful influence on the tendency for people to arrange their thoughts, perspectives, and ideas with others, especially when in a group. This takes away from a person’s individuality because they want to feel accepted by others and therefore, a person will accomplish this basic need of approval through conforming.

Uniquely You DISC Professional Profile Report (2013), states that I am an S Personality Type. I think that people expect me to be more sensitive and submissive. According to this author, I am depicted as one who blends in the crowed; because I feel others want me to be still or quiet. I can be very loyal and friendly on an individual basis.

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

Each of the LGA areas we visited expressed a very different trend to each other. Although within a region, the traits were all heavily related expressing the socio-economic status of the region.

In order to formally assess John, I would choose to use the Level of Service Inventory – Revised (LSI-R) as it is a measure of general criminal behavior, including all violent and nonviolent offenses. Because John has multiple counts of Sales of Narcotics and one count of Assault on a Police Officer, it is important to consider general reoffending and not just general violence. The LSI-R is an actuarial measure that is widely used to predict general recidivism and is often found useful in jail, prison, and re-entry settings.

-comply or try to be too much of a people pleaser by not honoring yourself first

Agreeableness is average, meaning I do not try to be either cooperative or antagonistic towards others. I generally take a laissez-faire approach to my relationships and do not have an invested interest because I do not believe I can significantly impact the long-term well being of others. During conversations, I do not inquire specifically about their personal lives, I let the other person tell me what they are comfortable about talking about and what they want me to know. Conscientiousness is also average. I have a fair balance of structure and spontaneity. There is just enough control and regulation in impulses to maintain a harmonized flow of daily life that will allow for spontaneous activities. For example, school work is more or less planned out by the day to prevent falling behind, but I will still embark on spontaneous adventures of bicycle rides to abandoned warehouse roof tops at midnight on a school night. Survey results are consistent with how I view myself generally. While it is impossible to be completely objective in self evaluations, I think I am fairly in tune with my inter- and intra-relationships because I make an effort to heed feedback. When interacting with others I pay attention to their facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and not only their words, but their silences.

After finishing the LSI Style Interpretation for this class I was identified as have the humanistic- encouraging style as my top style with a score of 38 which placed me in the top 93 percent of persons who took the interpretation. My second top style was the affiliative style in which I scored 37 and placed in the top 90 percent of persons who took the interpretation. After contemplating my work / leadership style(s) and comparing how I interact with co- workers and subordinates, I agree with the results and will further discuss my reasoning in this paper.

This also directly relates to my personality type. As an ISTJ others often view me as being insensitive in my effort to get my point across. I am known to impose my judgments on others. ISTJ's are known to share their knowledge with others often to give people advice. At the same time though I am aware of the fact that I can be very opinionated. I am not able to change people's minds, although I can try to influence their opinion. As I have gotten older I try to keep this aspect of my personality in check. I have learned to carefully pick and choose my battles.

As I have grown as an adult and moved further towards success in my life, I have always maintained a guided structure to achieve goals and tasks that challenge me. I call these my “Core Values”. This is a strict regimen or a belief system that I have instilled into my everyday practice to complete any task that presents itself. Although not perfected, I have found this method to be quite successful. My work ethic, responsibility, and my drive to further my education and knowledge have never failed me. Life can seem tough and demanding on a very consistent basis, but I believe that I have cultivated a plan to accommodate and withstand any trial

I disagree with majority of what the LASSI has told me about myself. The reason I disagree with Test Strategies is because I do not misinterpret what I am told. I have never really been the type of person to let myself do things without being 100% sure that I am doing it right. I like to think that I am not a bad test taker, I do take my time studying, because failure is not an option. When it comes to Time Management I agree to a certain extent. The reason I say this is because I have a lot on my plate, and I over work and overwhelm myself with so many obstacles. Although I have such a busy lifestyle, I do try my best to succeed and accomplish what no one in my family has

I am a pretty well rounded individual although not perfect by any means. Throughout my life, I have always tried my best to be friendly to everyone and optimistic in all situations. I don’t think anyone would ever describe me as a critical or aggressive person. I’ve always been willing to give advice and be encouraging to anyone that I felt needed it. I believe that I am a fairly conscientious person in that I have always been careful and diligent when it comes to work and other life choices. I’ve always been organized and usually don’t act on pure impulse alone. I’ve never been described as traditional or conventional. I’ve always been open to new experiences and relish every opportunity that can make me a more well-rounded person. People would also describe me as a fairly intelligent individual with a vivid imagination. My weaknesses, however, would have to include my ability to develop people and team process. I’ve always been encouraging, but I can improve upon my ability to develop people by providing feedback to individuals on their performances and recognizing individual contributions when I am part of a team.
