You have people all around the world and none of them are the same. You have people with high tempers, you got the lazy people that don’t ever do anything, and the over achievers and everyone is about in the middle of those three. I have taken a personality test and learned that I have an Executive personality type, if you do not know what that means I am like the boss in a business. This trait is held by less than 11% of the population. I am stubborn, organized, and judgmental.
My personality showed that one of my weaknesses is stubbornness, for example “they are reluctant to trust other opinions” . Sometimes being stubborn can be helpful and other times it can be hurtful, for example if you want to go over to your friends house but your mom says no sometimes if you keep trying she might say yes. Or like the other times she gets annoyed and tells you to go away. There are three things that being stubborn makes harder for me: trying to be flexible, getting along with my parents, and shopping. Trying to be flexible is hard because if my mom makes something for dinner that I don’t really like or that I just am not feeling, I will eat cereal or somethings else. Another reason is trying to get along with my parents, because I always think that I am right and they are wrong. For example if I want to go over to a friends house and they say no I give them reasons why I should go. Then last shopping is especially hard because one I am stubborn so I don’t settle. Being stubborn
A reason that this country works well is that everyone has diverse abilities which can contribute to everyday life. Some people let those abilities shine at work, in their personal life or both. As people have their strengths, they also have their weaknesses. There is a problem to improve those weaknesses when the weakness is not identified. Once the weak point is identified it needs to be resolved. A plan of action for improvement helps in solving the situation. In this paper, I will identify abilities and skills that I possess that contribute positively in my work environment, in my personal life, and in my learning team. I will also identify personal areas that need improvement, and outline a plan of
Many different people have extremely different personality types such as, perfectionist, helper, leader, adventurer, and peacemaker. I am a variety of personalities from perfectionist to unorthodox. Due to the Jung Typology personality test, I am very extroverted and intuitive and I tend to get conflicted. Also, I am confident and sympathetic. I am extremely sociable and I enjoy the comfort of talking to friends. Even though sometimes I may be confused, I have the strength to straighten out. I have the kind of personality that will allow people to be who they want to be. I look at people the way they want to be looked at unconditionally. Last, I tend to get nervous and worried in tense situations. I have always been this way, but it goes away
I have well-developed people skills and excellent relationships, though possessing the Feeling (F) trait, having excellent analytical abilities; though Introverted (I), being the defender of others. Consequently, possessing this particular personality trait could be very beneficial as I will continue my career in the healthcare field. Furthermore, with the distinct preference of sensing over intuition focusing on the present, the "here and now" aspects of situations and approach, see things as they are, nonetheless, a concrete thinker. Moreover, with an introversion traits as well, which is beneficial personality strength, focusing more on patients care
These past three weeks have been a huge learning experience for me. Not only have I learned how an outpatient center operates, but I have also learned about my own strengths and weaknesses in performing an exam on a patient as well. I have discovered that my strengths are marker placement, my knowledge of anatomy, and patient care. I have also found areas that are my weaknesses, positioning for a y-shoulder is a bit tricky for me, I lack confidence when performing exams, and shielding. Learning these areas that are my strong and weak points has been an eye-opener for me, and finding ways to build my weaknesses up into strengths has been a challenge. I am, however, up for that challenge.
During the past few months while taking Professionalism and Design I’ve learned many things I didn’t know before. In the beginning I always thought that this class was just a waste of time but while I was actually learning, paying attention, and using the time that was given to us.
I often get tense and feel over burdened when there is workload and too many tasks to handle. I often avoid the risk related activities; which is not a good trait. As I plan to be manager in future, I should always be ready to deal with risks. Sometimes when things do not work out properly, I get hyperactive and my behavior changes with the people around me. I shout at them and even do not listen to them, which is also not a good characteristic of my personality because a leader should have ability to manage and tackle tough situations calmly.
StrengthsFinder 2.0 picks up where the first version left off, and it is designed to provide the latest discoveries and strategies for application. (Rath, 2007)
In social psychology individual research is done to find out why people act differently in the same situations (Butt, 2012). Theories of personalities were developed more than a century ago and were based on clinical, psychometric and experimental traditions. Although all different they had the same aim to try to explain individuals and why they behave in certain ways. This essay will look at two different theories, which look at individual differences in personalities. These theories are Eysenck and Rachman’s (1965)trait theory, and Personal construct theory by Kelly (1955) and will discuss these both theories in light of their strengths and weaknesses by highlighting the important points that make them different. At the end each theory will
The world is filled with over seven billion people, now what researchers have supported is the five-factor personality traits, are we unique? Or can we in some form, relate to other individuals.
Throughout my life I was strictly taught a sense of morality, values, and set standards. Brightness, positivity, and enthusiasm fuelled my every step as a kid and I revelled in being a creative, light hearted person. I knew what I wanted and what I deserved without needing to think twice. And even to this day, my beliefs never falter. But these traits usually affect me negatively and, eventually, leads to trouble.
Through my adolescent years, I started realizing the impact that one person can have on an individual has the potential to be substantial. Experiences such as volunteering at a two week overnight camp for children with special needs and teaching religious education to third graders. It was Camp Soar that introduced me to a boy with downs syndrome that would later lead to him being one of my best friends. His name is Danny, and it was him who motivated me to pursue a career in helping people on a first hand basis. After spending a lot of one-on-one time with Danny, I quickly came to realize that I had been enhancing his everyday social/life skills for him to lead a more self-sufficient life. We worked on independent skills like smart shopping, taking the PACE bus, and appropriate social conversations. Thereupon I knew I was good at helping others and could make a difference to others around me. I believe social work is a good fit for me because of my drive to help all people live their lives in a state of overall well being.
Around third term in Mrs.Ness’s class. “Lafreda can I talk to you for a moment?” She pulled me aside from the classroom while other students concentrated on worksheets and book work until the end of the bell. “I just wanted to tell you that your work is outstanding!” Her eyes were full of encouragement, she implied one day that If I was looking for a job she'd hire me, with no hesitation. “Thank you!” I say with a wide and enthusiastic smile on my face.“You have a bright future ahead of you and it shows how mature you are due to all of the things you been through over the course of the past year you're still here striving! I want to recommend you to student of the month!” Those simple words she spoke to me had given me a slight tingle down my spine. At that very moment I felt as if I could Succeed and prosper against anything that was to stand in the way of me reaching my goal.
When it comes to skills related to my strengths and weaknesses that influenced my performance, I can start with my strengths. If there's one thing I've learned about myself is that nothing motivates me more than when people doubt my ability. It's at these moments where I excel the most. Now during April when I missed two deadlines in my Music Hits, one of the coordinators Jorge who edits the Music Hit called me unmotivated by missing the deadlines. Even though the reason that I missed the deadlines was because my part time job was starting to becoming overwhelming and I told Natasha. I went a month and a half finishing at 6 at my internship than working one hour later at 7 till midnight on Tuesday and Thursday than I would do my internship again the next day. I was killing myself. I was overworking myself, but once I changed my schedule to 11-5, I showed my true character until the end of my Internship. That's not to say I wasn't showing it before, but changing my schedule allowed me to breath.
Most personality theories share a common interest in traits. Theorists have become fascinated with traits, as they essentially tell us what makes us, us. Perpetual features within us demonstrated by our actions within everyday life. Trait theory aims to assess personality, whilst identifying and measuring the extent of particular repetitive personality traits for example - shyness and analysing how much these traits vary from person to person. Trait theory is perhaps the most widely used perspective when it comes to analysing personality and it vastly differs in comparison to other theoretical perspectives. In order to test the validity of trait theories this essay will identify its key theories, focusing on how personality traits are defined and measured. These will include Allport’s central traits, Cattell 's sixteen personality factors, Eysenck 's EPQ - three dimensions and the big five. Unveiling the differences between trait theories, looking at application of trait theory, whilst identifying its strengths and weaknesses, as well as uncovering the personality paradox alternative perspective to trait theory - in order to test trait theories validity.
The main particular traits of my personality tend to stem from both life experiences and due to the deeper portions of my faith. The first trait that I express often is politeness to whomever I encounter. Patience as a mainstay also is shown in many of the situations I put myself in. A trait that is a double-edged sword to me is the trait of being ornery when things get a bit heated, with me remaining stubborn through most of the situations I encounter. The final personality trait I can think of off the top of my head would be courageousness.
