My Personal Statement On The Assessment

Evaluate the assessments you have carried out, stating whether you believe they were fair, valid and reliable.

I have many different qualities that attribute to my character. Some including, I am a naturally positive person, I am non-judgmental, and I try my best to be focused and efficient. I also like to make people laugh, but I know when to be serious. Part of being a good leader is knowing how to work as a team. Many of the activities I participate in have shown me how to do so. I believe in working as a team to come up with solutions, plans, and ideas.

For me to be an effective leader, I must first evaluate my strengths. I took the Gallup 2.0 Strength Finder report which showed my strengths in an insight and action planning guide. The results indicated the top five themes for me were input, learner, responsibility, maximizer and arranger. I believe the

My personal philosophy of assessment consists of several components. The first component is that both formative and summative assessment belong in the classroom. The second component is that, although teachers should teach what is on the STAAR tests, they should try to avoid just “teaching to the test” the entire year. I also believe that different forms of assessments should be used throughout the year. Finally, I believe that assessments should always be structured in a way that is fair to the students, and addresses all learning styles. Overall, tests belong in the classroom, but should not be the focus of instruction and should be fair for all students.

The reliability of an assessment in a perfect situation should produce the same results if marked by another tutor or if that examiner unknowingly receives the same paper again. If different marks are given the assessment is consequently unreliable and proves that this assessment is subjective.

My personality type is logistician(ISTJ). Some generally qualities are independent, logical, loyal, responsible, serious, organized, quiet and a rule follower etc. I found most of these qualities to be true about myself. I like working alone and think before I act. I need to have the facts before I set my k da to something. I'm pretty loyal since I keep things to myself and people can rely on me when they need some assistance. I am kind of quiet when I don't know where I am at or who I'm going to be dealing with. I don't like to be social and make conversations to others. I stay by myself until someone comes to me and speaks first. I can be serious at times but I'm a goofball and I like to be silly and sarcastic. I'm also a tile follower I

After reading Tom Rath’s Strengths Finder 2.0 and taking his assessment my results for my top five themes, in order, are harmony, input, learner, analytical, and deliberative. Harmony is my top strength and it is the same as my Myer-Briggs results, since they avoid conflict and are realists. Some of the personal characteristics that describe me as a leader is by not giving the impression I know everything, I create a friendly environment for others, I know that is foolhardy to do things myself, I think before I speak, and I promote cooperation by helping people with their ideas. Throughout my college years I have been involved in many group assignments so I learned early on not to do things myself because assignments just start piling up. It was a major eye opener for me when I started college. So when I was in groups I spoke out when I had a problem so that I can receive help and I would in return help them if they needed.

My current strengths as a leader would have much to do with my ability to foster accountability, network, and to effectively communicate both verbally and written. Working in the healthcare industry change is constant so possessing these strengths makes a difference in the field. Fostering accountability is important when making sure that you are fair across the board and treating everyone with respect. With so many branches of healthcare networking and relationship building allows for many opportunities for future collaboration. Effective communication is the universal language which allows for those in leadership roles to be innovative when expressing visions and generating new ideas.

According to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), I am an ISTJ personality this means that I am an Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging person. ISTJ are very faithful, loyal and dependable. We are also reserved people who are interested in a secure and quiet life. ISTJ’s place importance in being honesty and can be trusted to do the right thing for their families and friends.

The six leading styles: Ambassador (19/25), advocate (20/25), people mover (21/25), truth-seeker (20/25), creative builder (18/25), and experienced guide (21/25) scored the highest on my leadership style assessment. The characteristics which were identified as strengths of mine are mainly relationship oriented such as diffusing difficult situations, advocating in a group, seeing the potential in people, maintaining fairness and neutrality, and empathy. These were not a surprise to me as I have taken other leadership assessments and have always scored the same types of characteristics.

Based on the personality profile I completed in class my personality type is ISTJ, Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging. According to various sources on personality types ISTJ's are often referred to as "Inspectors". I agree with a lot of what I have read about my personality type. ISTJ's often give the initial impression of being aloof and perhaps somewhat cold. This is perhaps one of the truest statements about me that I have seen. Many people find me to be cold and standoffish if not conceited and stuck-up. I prefer spending time alone, or with a few close people rather than go to parties, bars, or clubs. Very often when I go to the mall or other chaotic places I am over stimulated and overwhelmed by the people and the

One of the most distinguishing leadership traits I have is the ability to instill some sense of passion to my team and hence leave in the team members a conviction and the will to move on. I also have the quality of listening to my team; in this case I listen carefully and consider various options to the issues raised before giving feedback. In essence, as a good leader, I involve everyone, give everyone responsibility according to their identified abilities and make everybody accountable; thus I am responsible for my actions and the actions of my followers. Another trait that distinguishes my leadership skills is the confidence I manifest. I communicate to my
