I agree to the final result of the three assessments. I know that there are no right or wrong answers but I would like to increase my self- awareness. The results will help me to improve my behavior and develop leadership skills. My strongest dimensions are agreeableness, adjustment, and conscientiousness.

Being a young adult requires a lot of independence, however individuals that fit into this category still have many needs. Some of those needs are friends, family and employment. Friends are an important part of being a young adult because they help deal with every day stress and difficulties (Buote,2007, p. 666) and having a social life is important for creating a healthy balance between work and other everyday tasks so one does not become overwhelmed (Buote,2007, 665). I personally view my friends as one of the best forms of emotional support because I know that whenever I am upset or have something on my mind, I can talk to them and I almost always feel more content afterwards which allows me to move past my troubles.

Everyone has the vision of the good life but how many have sat down to plan it out?

After taking the assortment of Jobzology assessments I was able to get results that painted a clear picture of my values and interests in different situations and in life. Specifically, for values, my highest result was recognition, closely followed by achievement. In their descriptions, recognition is explained as a person that appreciates having the opportunity to advance in a job, likes having other people look up to them, and need to have the potential to lead others. With this came career examples of a Journalist, Business Executive, Software Engineer, and Lawyer. Personally, I would undoubtedly agree that I am the person the recognition definition defines me to be. Whether it be in sports and helping to lead the team by deciding what workouts to do or in a classroom leading a group project, I love the responsibility and having people look up to me for advice. One reason why I have openly taken on responsibility, specifically on the track team, is because it frustrates me how if there is no true leadership, everyone is so indicive. With this, I have learned that by making strong and confident decisions, people will look up to me and then I will have the potential to lead others. On top of that, as far as career examples go, having the suggestion of a Business Executive affirmed a desire I already had to get to the point of assisting in leadership of a company by being focused on advancing my job, which will giving me more potential to lead others.
