My behaviors are described as following the rules individually while keeping others in mind also. I do what is expected and defined as right. I also try to keep others feelings in consideration so not to cause upset. I found this a bit contradictory to my weaknesses defined above.

My typing accuracy was at 98% since I ended up misspelling one word. In my time management skills, I learned that my two strengths were: Help Seeking and Procrastination. I hate doing things at the last minute since it stresses me out, so normally I love doing things ahead of time. When I don’t understand a question, I always make sure to ask the professor for help. I prefer asking a million questions than to get an assignment back with a bad grade because I was too afraid to ask for help. Although I do have my strengths, I also have my weaknesses and those are: Persistence and Locus of

I found that my top five weaknesses are as follows: 1. Money management, 2. Understanding technology, 3. Energy level, 4. Seeking support from others and 5. Ability to focus on one thing at a time (Bethel University, 2014).

My strengths would be self-motivation, organization and great patient care. I am very self-motivated and I like to stay on top of my assignments. I tend to set goals for myself to achieve throughout the day. I also like to stay organized and know where everything I need is at just in case of an emergency or an issue. Patient care is another of my strengths, I like to make sure my patients are doing well and have no further needs. That would lean towards my weakness which is spending a lot of time making sure my patient is doing well and falling a little behind, but I am working to improve that.

My strengths are my self-confidence, determination, organization, and ability to prioritize. Balancing an overloaded school schedule, upwards of 24 credits in a semester, maintaining excellent grades, raising a toddler, and volunteering are demonstrative of my greater fortes. In terms of weaknesses, public speaking has always been difficult for me, as well as networking. I have branched outside of my comfort zone, engaged in volunteer opportunities, student organizations, and clubs as an effort to improve upon this.

Being able to recognize my own strengths and weaknesses has help me become a better person in everything I have chosen to do in life. One of my strengths would be patience. This strength has lead me on a less stressful path to raising my seven-year-old son. When dealing with my son, whether it is during game time or school work, patience on my behalf makes me have self-control and not get anxious or become irritated. One of my weakness I would have to say is public speaking. Thanks to the speech class I took in college, I have learned to hide my fear while doing a presentation in front a big group of people, even though I begin to blush and I break

• My strengths are academics, music, and my faith. My weaknesses unfortunately include a lack of a good work ethic.

Two other weaknesses are time-management and organization. These two goes hand in hand and I realized that I suffer tremendously from lack thereof and have found multiple solutions to help enhance these weaknesses as I expressed in the IDP. I feel these two will be challenging as well because I realize that organization at work is limited. It is much more of filling in the gaps and

This motivates and energizes me in way that I can’t really describe. One of the weaknesses that are listed I can directly relate to. Impatience with other people’s inefficiency is defiantly a weakness of mine. I recall a time when I was working with my brothers. We were trying to get cut pieces of wood loaded onto my dad’s trailer. I wanted to get it done fast so I was trying to organize my brothers to get it done quickly and I noticed that my younger brother was going at a very slow pace and would frequently stop and wait. I didn’t like what I was seeing so I let him know right away that he needed to pick up the slack. After some time I realized that he wasn’t going any faster than he was before and I was growing very impatient by then so I ended up yelling at him. I realize that I try to come up with the most efficient and effective ways of doing things and try to have other people do it the same way and if they don’t I can lose my temper and that is a very recognized characteristic of an ENTJ.

Everyone has a weakness and mine happens to be learning from mistakes and experiences. The way that I typically learn is by making a mistake and

The strengths I have: being efficient and organize. I have to have everything a particular manner before I write, perform, or do almost any jobs. Occasionally this can cost me lots of time. The weaknesses that I have are a perfectionist and impatient at times. I was used to working at a substantially faster rate than those around me. Sharing information and interacting with others is when I learn best. Understanding my weaknesses assists me to plan methods to conquer them when I am doing tasks and socializing with others. I must be kinder to myself and less strict about matters being merely so. I also need to be more delicate and comprehensible of others who tend not to take up my perfectionist styles. I also should be patient with people who take longer time to work. Since I have got a tendency to delay works when I do not feel like doing anything, I, therefore, need to create a regular schedule with integrated rewards and times for learning and acquiring assignments done.
