My Personal Creative Thinking Profile

There are differences between Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Testing is a large factor in accurately assessing the full scope of the assistance a client may new. Depending on the needs of the client the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) could be a better fit. In considering the tests that exist, one sample population LMFT’s are likely to work with are children. Development is always a major factor in children with intellectual or behavior issues. One test that is dynamic to this factor is the Profile of Creative Capabilities (PCA).

A1. Describe two specific dimensions from your personality profile results that you consider to be strengths.

- The type of working environment I see myself in is one with consistency, but also has room for change and flexibility. Consistency is important to me because I like having at least a basic structure to work with. With marketing being my major I know that there are basic structures and concepts people in the field go by, but outside of that allows for the creativity. I like to think of myself as a creative person. As a college student now I am very innovative with the resources that I have available to me. For example I am a very picky eater, so something that I do for lunch when eating at the school cafeteria is that I’ll pack my own salad dressing, Nutella, and plastic container of mandarin oranges for my salads. That may not mean anything to most people but I have gotten remarks like, “Oh, that’s a good idea!” A different example that relates more to “real-life situations” is that if something appears to be broken and I feel I have the potential to fix it, I will do what I can to at least put it in better shape than it was. One time

Throughout high school I participated in numerous volunteer opportunities. I had the opportunity to be my high school's basketball team manager my junior year of high school. As the lady blazers manager I was in charge of attending games, practices, recording fouls and games, as well as organizing the food for the players after their games. However, I also devoted my time to things other than sports. I also volunteered every year at my school's registration for new student. My school, IDEA Quest, places a lot of emphasis on new student registration because new students are given an opportunity to preview their life at IDEA. Therefore as a volunteer of the new student registration I would speak at the student panel about my experience as an

By your own orientation to cooperative work in a mission-driven organization like the armed forces, do you consider yourself to be a strategic thinker, a tactical planner, or a logistician? How do you determine that, and how does your own daily life and work demonstrate that?

I've always been a calm and collective individual, favoring the slow and calculated approach to problem solving, assuring the problem is achieved to maximum success. As such, I'm the kind of person to try everything first hand, in order to find out the true best way in order to accomplish a task, despite what a guide may say. However, I also have the intelligence to do so in a productive way. They say you shouldn't reinvent the wheel, and to build upon others success, at some point someone tried just that, and was able to create a 'better' wheel. At the end of the day, it is still a wheel, but it's this innovation that drives the world forward. I'm an innovator. I'll be the guy trying the thing no one thought of, using some method someone dismissed as 'xp waste' and still be able to put some spin on it in order to create something that is better than everything else.

Secondly, I use empathy to quickly understand when others have a need or problem. Finally: Ideation is the creation new ideas or expanding on ideas that are of interest to me. I am creative, love new concepts and appreciate the originality. When I capitalize on them, I can bring out the best version of myself. It’s easy to see how my strengths will help me to fulfill my purpose by guiding me to a path I will be best in academically, personally and in my career. I should seek to match my strength in all

Based on your individual Creative Intelligence Profiles, how might each member affect innovation within the organization?

I enjoy the challenge in problem solving, and welcome the opportunity to do so. According to an assessment on the personality pathways assessment, I am an introvert, sensing, thinking and judging personality (Reinhold, 2014). The assessment states that my personality type enjoys fixing problems in a detailed and organized matter. I agree with the assessment and found that to be true at my job as well as in my personal life. I enjoy gathering all the details to make the best decision available. Effective problem solving is a very important part of leadership and is a significant factor in team

You are one of the most influential women in modern day society and you continue to fight for women’s education throughout the world. It is so inspiring that even as a young girl you always stood up for what you believed in despite the judgement you faced as the Taliban began to takeover your village. I truly admire the bravery you had the day your life changed forever after the Taliban stormed onto your school bus and shot you. You are hope for women stuck in stagnant societies to get the education they deserve. women, despite how privileged they may be, to recognize the part they can take aiding your movement.

A person with logical/mathematical styles and thinker styles work well together. A person with such styles enjoy solving complex problems, superior with taking metrics or following up after a project is implemented by measure success. A thinker and organizer would work well together as well for they both are logical. A thinker can present material on a whiteboard by drawing a diagram, chart, or other ideas like brainstorming. Once all ideas are presented the followup action is discussed once concept or topic at a time, all logical concepts are taking into consideration and the most logically answer will be discussed.

Based upon my experiences, feedback from others and self-analysis, I believe that I am always action and performance oriented. My print assessment shows that generally I am not fond of exhaustive planning or grueling analysis; I prefer things moving forward. I am spontaneous and able to take risks. In addition, my self-confidence has a calming effect on others while at the same time mobilizing them to take action ("Paul Hertz Group | PRINT Survey | Unconscious

I believe that few people have a strong inner feeling that pushes them to think out of the box to identify as issue and find the solution. Personally, I always try to find the most creative solution and do not give up until I get it. Sometime this energy is contagious on to next. I always search for the missing links and fine-tune my thoughts until I reach a point that works. This creativity has steadily driven my ambitions through the organization.

Change, creativity and innovation are essential elements for survival and growth of an organization. Creativity is vital for the birth of fresh and beneficial ideas. Creative thinking allows groups and individuals to solve problems or stimulate to think differently in order to bring forth fruitful ideas. The above mentioned creative thinking enabled our team of six different personalities to come together and implement a plan to solve a complex problem in a hospital. Our assigned task was to recommend a plan in order to alleviate hospital readmission among elderly population within thirty days of discharge. In this paper the author is narrating the team dynamics, functionalities and personal competencies in the process of recommending a change in the system. As a member in the innovation leadership team the author is also reflecting on the assessment, capacity for innovation in the organization which is the hospital where the team is assigned.

According to Pfeffer (cited in Whetten & Cameron, 2005) leading positive change is one of the most important influences in helping organisations perform well. Another strength that I have identified through completing the “how creative are you” assessment (Carlopio et al, 2005) is creativity, possibly due to my ability to consider things from different perspectives as indicated by my preference toward the “thinking” dimension in my MBTI profile.
