Type A Inventory Score

This score would be given by Anthony Cherwinski. For the section regarding showing up on time, the hiring team requires someone to show up almost every day on time. The section that talks about helping other students has a minimum of 3 points which correlates with a candidate assisting one peer in the class. The section on focus was rated at a minimum of a 5 because if a candidate is prone to looking at their phone or not focusing during class, they could potentially do that during the dinner, which would look bad to guests. The manager has higher standards of attentiveness and focus therefore the rating scale is much higher. The Reference Rating Sheet can be found in Appendix E.

Serial Killers have been studied by psychologists, anthropologist and sociologists for years. In the following case study I will be talking about Robert Pickton. Robert Pickton is Canada’s most notorious serial killer, he was charged with 26 murder cases in 2006. I will analyze Roberts’s case with theories from psychology, sociology and anthropology. Psychology can tell us about Robert’s individual behaviour. Sociology can tell us about how the people and society around Robert affected him and Anthropology can tell us how his culture affected him.

People accuse me of being competitive, as if this is bad quality. While it is true, in the generic sense of the word, but to me the only competition that matters is my own performance compared to my past performance while on the line with outstanding shooters. Competition energizes me to improve.

My score for “aggressive/defensive style” which includes escalator, dominator, competitor, and perfectionist ranked medium/low. The escalator style I scored in the 97th percentile. I wasn’t surprised at my ranking in this field. Growing up I was spoiled as a child and I always got what I wanted. When conflicts do arise I always get very upset at first and think it’s a personal attack against me. It does have affect on my personal relationship with my boyfriend when we get into arguments. I always try to find a way to turn the argument around to make myself look good but I know this is unfortunately self defeating. I know this is probably my biggest downfall among other but I know I can improve on this in order to become successful. I didn’t score to low in the competitor field. I do see winning as an opportunity for growth and development in the business world. In my eyes, winning shows a since of respect and people will get

The mentality developed through competitive learning is a good mentality in order to survive compared to cooperative learning, but it also causes a lot of stress on the individual’s mind. Competition is the driving force of progression and often leads to many new discoveries. However, stress is created by this constant need to excel and be better than others as said by Denise Pope “The number one cause of visits to Vaden Health

Still, Josiah thought competition was my most common style. On the contrary, Ben and my mom had it as one of my least used methods. My level of competitiveness differs greatly depending on the individual. Those who are competitive themselves are usually the ones I will be the most competitive with. Part of this is because I am only competitive in certain situations, such as when playing sports. For example, I used to play Josiah sometimes in one on one basketball. He being much shorter than me would struggle to compete and would compensate by playing overly aggressive. It would cause a conflict where I would call him out and he would compete against me in an argument. We have been so close our whole lives, and competitiveness with him is very hard to abandon because it was always the norm. For people I have befriended more recently, my competitiveness is often scaled way back. For example, when I play basketball against Ben, he is simply not a good ball player and he would be intimidated if I played competitively against him. So, with Ben I ditched my competitive nature. Additionally, I think I have grown to be good at understanding others and realizing if a competing style will be tolerated by them and to what extent. During my freshman year I had an argument with my roommate Steve about Michael Jordan and LeBron James. We argued for an hour about who was better,

High scorer is more likely than the average to experience such feelings as anxiety, anger, envy, guilt, and depressed mood. You respond more poorly to stressors, and you are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. You are often self-conscious and shy, and you may have trouble controlling urges and delaying gratification. You tend to self-talk, and you are poor in critical thinking skills, analytic ability and conceptual understanding.

"It is nice to have valid competition; it pushes you to do better"- Gianni Versace. Competition is what helps build our character and resilience. It is necessary for higher achievement because it builds self-confidence and teaches you life lesson.

The three-top categories I scored outstanding in was category six, category one, and category seven. The top category I scored in was Category six. In this category named Think win-win, I scored an 18 out of 18. The first statement is, I care about the success of others as well as my own, I demonstrate this at work by caring about the success of others as well as my own. I go above and beyond my daily duties to make sure the customers are being served at the highest level. The second statement is I cooperate with others, I demonstrate this at work by providing very detailed answers to questions and show that I am a very caring individual and try my best to assist coworkers with all their questions and guide them into the right direction to

In the Sequence category, I scored a 16. I was actually surprised by this score being as high as it was. I'm not a clock watcher at all. I may show up to work 5-10 minutes late but I'm normally working through my lunch hour and after hours without hesitation. Generally I hate reading directions, not because I don't care about the requirements that's being asked of me, but solely I just want to get to the meat and potatoes of the matter. Just let me start on the assignment and get it over and done

I am in the 80th percentile for avoidance and the 75th percentile for accommodation. On the other hand I have a fairly moderate compromising and competing score. My score for compromising was just below the 60th percentile, while my score for competition was in about the 45th percentile. Lastly, my score for collaborating was extremely low. It fell in only the 10th percentile. This indicates that I overuse the avoiding and accommodating styles of conflict management. I am fairly close to the median for the competing and compromising, which indicates that for the most part I use these styles the appropriate amount. While I could probably use some improvement on my use of competing and I could collaborate a little less often, these scores are the closest to being at the median. My collaborating score is very low, which indicates that I am underusing this style of conflict management compared to the

I feel my scores are accurate as it should be in some situations. The reason I feel like my scores are accurate is because my scores depend on my behavior and the attitude on the basis on my day-to-day activities which mostly time I feel the same everyday about these kind of activities. Therefore, I would give them the same score on my scale even after a week because there are not much I would change in my opinion about them. My scores depend on who I’m today. The reason I feel like my novelty score is high because I like to be open minded about new things and unfamiliar situations. Here is an example of a high novelty score, in India, when I was in 3rd grade, one day at school my teacher gave us a project for science where the instructions were very unclear, she did not give us any steps how to do

Centuries ago, the most important role of writing in a society was to document the history and stories of its people. Since then, writing has slowly evolved to fit the needs of the authors creating it. Writing has since then become a leisure activity instead of a chore. Nowadays, authors everywhere use writing as a way to express their ideas and convince others of their reasoning. Other authors use it as a branch of education to teach eager readers. Still others scrap the academic subjects and write entirely for entertainment. No matter what is being read about or who is writing it, the truth remains that not all writing is “good” writing. So what constitutes the term “good writing”? What does it take to get there? And how can we as authors achieve that ourselves?

Thornton, Ryckman, and Gold (2011) theorize that high levels of competitiveness or hyper-competitiveness would have a significant influence over achievement striving and impatience and irritability. It was further hypothesized that personal development competitiveness would be correlated with achievement striving but not with impatience or irritability. Hyper-competitiveness was defined as competitiveness with others while personal development competitiveness was correlated with competing with oneself for self-improvement. Three hundred and four participants were administered the Hyper-competitive Attitude Scale, the Personal Development Competitive Attitude Scale, and the Type A Behavior Pattern Inventory. The results of the study indicated that Type A individuals who were hyper-competitive were more likely to demonstrate the irritable and impatient aspects of Type A personality. They were also less likely to demonstrate positive correlations with achievement strings including academic achievement. In contrast, people with high levels of Personal Development Competitiveness were more likely to show high level achievement strings including academic achievements and were less likely to demonstrate impatience or irritability. Thornton, Ryckman, and Gold (2011) argue that this demonstrates that while some aspects of Type A personality and competitiveness have a positive effect on academic achievement and other types of achievement strings- some can be highly detrimental to

They can learn to get some confidence because confidence is really important in order to perform better. Being an overconfident person is also beneficial, as we won’t get nervous easily and our performances will be better. This kind of person isn’t scared to take some risks as they have trust and confidence in themselves. This kind of person has potential to be a really successful person in the future. I have a friend that is really confident that when he performed for a speech competition at school, he can speak fluently without any hesitation that made him the winner of the competition. We can learn a lot from this kind of person. I learn that correct proportion of something, even the thing we take as something bad, before, can turn into something good. We have to be able to measure how confident we can be while with friends and when the confidence is really needed. Being a competitive person can be advantageous, as this kind of person wants to be the best in everything. As they want to be the best in everything, they will work and study harder than any other people. They will try as hard as they can to be the best. As a result, they will get good marks on test or get an extremely good job in the future. It is beneficial for them. For Example: I know that being a competitive person can be advantageous as I have a friend that is competitive. She is so competitive that in every test, she will study as hard as she can. In every test, she managed to get the best scores
