Reflection On Self Assessment

Self-Awareness, self-concept and emotional intelligence are effective managerial concepts that will result in leadership success. According to Stanford University, having these soft skills are indispensable traits that good managers should develop to be successful leaders. Managers strive to become aware of who they are, what their values, attitudes, skills, and abilities are. These values drive them to achieve and will eventually result in them become more effective. (Showry & Manasa, 2014, p. 15)

Self-evaluation may not be an easy thing, but my counseling skills throughout the semester have improved. This type of self-evaluation is an essential part of the role and helps the counselor to become a better counselor. Thus, without this reflection, the counselor becomes stagnant and loose motivation. I reflect on my journals most of the time about how I am improving each day, and the new skills that I learned and will continue using them. I did not think I would be able to do the skills that I learned from this course.

When creating a self-assessment for Student N, I wanted to generate a self-assessment that would be clear, simple, and provide beneficial information for myself and the student. The goal of my self-assessment was to involve the student in identifying their own thoughts and feelings towards reading, discover areas of strength and improvement, and encourage self-reflection of their learning. The student was asked to circle thumbs-up (always), thumbs-middle (sometimes), and thumbs-down (not yet). I prefer using the term “not yet” because it shifts the attitude as a work in progress versus a failure. After allowing the student to complete the self-assessment privately, I was able to sit down with them, take notes, and have a mini-conference to dive deeper into their responses.

I found the test results of the Big Five personality assessment to be an interesting and very accurate description of myself. After completing this assessment, I was able to analyze my personality in depth. I found this information to be helpful knowledge and provide insight about myself, as well as being crucial in examining my personality traits. The big five is also referred to the OCEAN model of personality, and stands for the main traits used to describe personalities. This acronym stands for openness to experience/intellect, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. After taking the test I was then given percentile scores that allowed me to compare myself with other people who have taken the test online as well, therefore making it a more meaningful comparison.

What area do you want to focus on? What are your learning needs based on reflection and self-assessment?

The NEO Personality Inventory-3 (NEO-PI-3) is a personality inventory that measures the big five personality traits of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness (Whiston, 2013, p.221). These traits have been found to be universal in nature making the big five appropriate for use by other cultures and backgrounds due to

A regular self-assessment will help you to understand your individual performance. An excellent manager will always have healthy habits so that the employees that he is supervising will adopt the same behaviour. Employees who are tardy regularly are frequently absent from the office are unlikely to be meeting their organisational expectations. Poor punctuality means an employee is not performing their work to the hope of the organisation. The negative attitude they display may also be affecting their colleagues. An employee who disregards your expectations and presents a dishevelled or careless appearance reflects poorly on your management style and would not be meeting the performance standard of the organisation.

In the end, I found that the personality test and the temperament that goes with it is accurate to a fault. The only issue that arose that I question is whether I am an extrovert or an introvert. Most of the time I have relate to both daily. I become overwhelmed with one or the other and I need to resort to the opposite. I need time to recharge because I have given all I possibly could at that moment.

After taking the self-assessment test, I realized what I needed, what I had and what I needed to acquire in order to be successful in my doctoral degree. Furthermore, the result of the assessment helped me understand who I am as a learner, and why exactly I am in this program. The assessment helped me acknowledge how bad my weaknesses were. Finally, the assessment helped clarify my mind on the areas of research that interest me. With the result of this assessment, I am confident now about successfully completing my doctoral degree.

After reveiewing my results from the self assessment test, my scores improved except for communication. In communication I scored one point higher than before. I dont think the test is accurate but it has definitely made me more aware of my practices and actions. Since taking the first assessment Ive been more mindful and have tried very hard to improve personally and professionally. My attitude/behavior is my professional strength. Im always positive and I keep a smile on my face no matter the situation. My knowledge and skills are reflected in all of the work that I complete. Through my actions my patients can see that I have a passion for helping others. I hold myself to a high standard and expect nothing but the best. Im always

Part one of the test entitled “What About me” was both insightful and an interesting view into understanding more about how my personality works on The Big Five scale. My score was moderate in extroversion and agreeableness, high in conscientiousness and emotional stability, and low in openness to experience. My high scores indicate that I value harmony, and that I pursue fewer goals in a purposeful way. My low score indicated that I am conventional and like what is familiar. My Jungian personality type is ESTJ which means that I am realistic as well as logical and decisive, and have a natural knack for business. My scores in this section, also indicate that I am an extreme type A personality. This personality type is extremely

This assessment shows its strength by the fact that I feel as though it matches with my life. Through this, I have gain insight to the fact that I could be helpful but almost to the degree in which I could be harmful to me. While reading the description, I was proud at some parts and discourage at others. However, I do have the understanding that every personality-type as a flaw. This assessment was useful in terms of gaining insight to my motivation, strengths and weakness of my personality. This can be a useful tool to use with clients.

Every one has their subjects that they love and hate, and for it was defiantly writing. Writing is something I dreaded for a long time; I developed my hatred towards writing since probably elementary school. I hate writing when I’m expected to put a spin on a subject that just doesn’t work for me, personally. There are many times when I have papers due and sometimes I feel like I have nothing to say towards the topic. I could write a paragraph but to continuously write paragraphs after paragraphs it gets a little harder. I always contradict myself in my writings but that is something I have grown out of. Writing is time consuming and requires a lot of effort. They require a lot of planning and usually some accompanying reading and note taking. Taking notes is one of my weaknesses. In some intuitions like my high school for instances there was not enough time is given to the rough draft and not enough feedback is given before the essay receives a final grade. I personally believe that not everyone is a "natural-born" writer; but I do believe that everyone has the capability to become a decent writer.

Personality is a large part of being human, as each person has a unique set of characteristics and traits. One person can be kind and patient and another can be rude and ill tempered. This variability is both what makes the study of personality fascinating and incredibly difficult. Although there are a myriad of different personality traits that can be used to describe a person, psychologists have narrowed it down to five overarching ideas. These are commonly referred to as the “Big Five” personality traits and they consist of, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openness, and conscientiousness. In particular, this study will focus on neuroticism, the trait that is characterized by high emotionality and instability, anxiety, and irritability (Soto, John, Gosling, & Potter 2011). Of the five, neuroticism is the only one with a negative connotation, which separates it from the others. Nonetheless, despite its poor reputation, neuroticism is an incredibly important trait to study as it is often linked with anxiety and depression (Soto et al., 2011). For example, one study found that participants who were clinically depressed and those who were not but scored highly on the neuroticism scale both had significantly greater negative self-perceptions (Thomson, 2016). Although currently there is only a correlation between these mental disorders and neuroticism, further experimentation could lead to more conclusive result. Recently, mental health has

The results of my self assessment were pretty accurate to what I know about myself. I have strong intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. I maintain strong relationships with others and think deeply about my life choices, goals, and ambitions. The only score that I thought would be higher was my musical score. I can play a musical instrument and I enjoy listening to music, but I don’t like to sing or play for others. Thinking back to my childhood, I was a linguistic learner. I followed directions well, if someone modeled how to do something, I could follow it and explain it back. I liked talking with someone personally to understand different concepts. The older I got, I was able to adapt to how my teachers’ taught. I had one teacher who loved using bodily-kinesthetic activities, I had other teachers who loved to sing and use logical-mathematical thinking. If I didn’t adjust to their styles of teaching, I wouldn’t have been successful in their class. I believe learning patterns can be altered because my learning pattern was altered. I’ve learned many different things from teachers who have different teaching styles. Teaching is an art and all teachers should use different teaching styles. Having a wide variety of teachers with different teaching styles made me a well rounded learner.
