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.

I chose to base my studies on J because we shared a lot in common; we are both Christians living in a predominantly Muslim country. He is eleven years old. His parents are Jordan nationals who have lived in Bahrain for at least two years. J goes to school at Naseem International School where I work. The school offers PYP programs. Lessons are conducted in English; however, Arabic lessons are also offered per week. Majority of kids in this school are Muslims most of whom are Bahrainis. Other nationalities making the student population are Saudis, Lebanese, Jordanians, few South Africans, and other Arabian Gulf countries. Teachers are a mixture of nationalities. Some of them are Arabs, others South Africans, while some are Europeans.

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.

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

The results suggest that my four dominant leadership types are the following – extrovert, sensor, feeler, and judger. The two most prominent dominant types (with a score of 5) are extrovert and feeler. I believe the results reflect who I am. I’m very outgoing, a people’s person, and talkative. I’m also a very emotional person. I show my emotions on my face and I am sensitive to what others think of me.

My MBTI profile is ISTP, the purpose of this assignment is to write about who I am as a leader. The qualities of a leader should be such that it not only leads to a team working effectively but also encourages them to be more creative and productive without the fear of being scrutinised and criticised constantly. In order to be such a leader, I would say I am now perhaps a more assertive but fair leader. Based on the models of SCARF and NVC, I would say I focus on the following: Status – I would more proactive in providing constant feedback to the team or individuals. Certainty – Having a plan is important, but having the correct plan is more important. The best way to do this is to discuss the plan with the team and mould it to fit the requirements

I like to think of myself as a motivational leader above all else. I have always been able to see the potential in others and get them be the best versions of themselves they can be. As a leader I am also very thorough and meticulous. I set very detailed goals and get my team and myself to achieve them. True to the core of being an INTJ I value innovation, effectiveness and competency above most things (16personalities, n.d.). Like most leaders who are INTJ’s I set extremely high standards for those who work with me and myself (16personalities, n.d.).

b) I had an RTC Score of 2.94, which means that I have average rating when it comes to resistance-to-change. I scored the following in each area: Routine Seeking- 2.20, Emotional Reaction- 4.00, Short-term Focus- 2.50, and Cognitive Rigidity 3.25.

My score on the self-assessment evaluation was 84, and according to that I “listen well”, but I know I can work to improve that. One of my lower scores from bad listening habits was “Giving in to mental distractions” and “Judging a speaker on personal appearance”.

This was my very first time taking a self-assessment leadership strengths test and I really enjoyed taking this questionnaire. The results gave me a clear indication of where my strengths and weaknesses lie.

The questions on this survey were very interesting. I am not one to take a lot of self- assessments unless they are required for a class or employment. The result that are indicated on prior assessments at times tend to be off. However, the results that I current received from the online assessment http://www.yourleadershiplegacy.com was very interesting. I honestly think what interested me more was the descriptions of the natural leadership roles. I do believe that I am an “Experienced Guide”. The characteristics that are indicated describe me well. As a leader, I feel that having this characteristics are very important. Some of the characteristics include being a good listener, have a range of information, and helping people

I am not surprised I scored the lowest in Extroversion. I would describe myself as an introvert. Openness to Experience was my highest and that makes sense. Based on my work experiences, I tend to do well with new projects, even when they’re thrown at me last minute with little direction, and I don’t like doing the same type of projects long term. I would not describe myself as a risk-taker, though. I’d say I’m very cautious, and that may explain why Agreeableness is my second highest because I don’t want to upset .

Self-evaluation builds on a natural tendency to check out the progress of one’s own learning and to improve. Being a foreign medical graduate, and a stay-at-home mom for the last 17 years, I felt nervous around my colleagues who are professionals and experts in their fields due to years of experience that I felt I did not yet have. This paper discusses peer feedback and self-assessment based on multiple negotiation exercises performed by me during the on-campus visit of summer, 2017. For example, I have realized that it is essential to not only know my opponent, but to also know myself. This opportunity of self-reflection has allowed me to recognize beneficial methods of conduct for various negations occurring under various conditions such

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.

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.
