Self assessment is a concept familiar to me however one that I am not very comfortable with for it further clarifies my realization that I have so much to learn in every aspect of my life. It does keep me grounded and able to learn from anything and everything on a daily basis. I work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and as a Neonatologist I am the team leader in a multitude of situations which require quick, precise and accurate decision making skills on a daily basis.

My strength are my ability and drive to make an effort to do what is right and to uphold the edicts of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

However I also realized that whilst I was clear on my aim during patient care, my ability to bring up and resolve controversial issues was not good. My ability to impart negative news to my colleagues is not well developed either as I am not exposed to these situations. The self assessment tool also made me realize that there were a ton of situations which I had not been exposed to and thus my ability to be able to fathom my answers in those situations was impaired. This lead me to the need to develop a general set of parameters that resonate with me and to use these parameters to answer ethical questions that may arise in the future. I learned how important it is to keep code of ethics in mind when dealing or answering questions concerning ethical decisions. This is because any decision I make or actions I take in regard to ethical concerns can have a direct impact of the quality of care to a patient …show more content…

I performed the assessment on January 26th at 9pm, and the assessment is an abbreviation for "Myers–Briggs Type Indicator.” It describes people by dividing several categories such as “Extraversion or Introversion”, “Sensing or Intuition”, “Thinking or Feeling”, and “Judging or Perceiving.” As for me, the result is “ISTJ” which are introversion, sensing, thinking, and judging. The purposes of this assessment are to understand about myself, to build future plans for finding a job, and to improve my relationship with other people.

identified an additional flaw I need to work on. I scored a 2 in the self-assessment as can be seen under Appendix A, subsection 14. A score of 2 or lower states that the person has trouble and a hard time speaking straight and needs improvement on their candor. From the score I received from the self-assessment I looked back on the times I was dealing with a situation and was able to reflect that a common pattern was seen. I saw that I tended to beat around the bush instead of saying what was wrong directly, this was because I did not want to make it any bigger than it actually was or did not want to hurt anyone's feeling.
