557 Words3 Pages

Taking a self-assessment is never easy and is only beneficial when you are honest with yourself about where you are in certain areas of your life. In taking the self-assessment I had to take an in-depth look at myself in each of the areas identified, and that was not easy. I did learn, however, that I was stronger in some areas after thinking about it and taking a hard-look at each area.

2-3). Reading is one of my favorite things to do, so it did not come as any surprise that it is one of my strengths. Determination is one of the areas I have definitely grown in over the last two years. Without growing in this area I would not have remained shcool when my husband became ill. The ability to adapt to change and be flexible is another area I have grown in. In fact, if you had asked me to take the self-assessment ten years ago the outcome would have been the exact opposite. The ability to get along with diverse groups was not a surprise. My mother has always told me that was born friendly and getting along with anyone. Understanding technology has always been a strong point as I grew up in a home with a computer programmer/repairman who taught me to always be open to new technologies. I’d say that overall my strengths surprised me the most, but that is a good …show more content…

The strengths that were identified this time taking the assessment were all characteristics that I strongly identify with. The most recent assessment showed that my strengths are, in order, Futuristic, Context, Relator, Restorative, and Analytical. This is in comparison to my 2014 results of Includer, Harmony, Consistency, Relator, and Analytical. My 2014 results were much more reflective of someone in the relationship building domain, something that I would actually consider myself only competent at, if not a weakness of mine. I am solid in those aspects, but thought that it overestimated my capabilities

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.

My weakest qualities are writing and time management, which can use some improvement.

Strengths Finder Reflection My top five strengths are adaptability, relator, maximizer, empathetic and strategic. It was not surprising to confirm my top five strengths because, in my work and social interactions, I find that I love relating with others and yearn to understand their situations and take them in that light.

I, therefore, believe that I strike a balance as I am not rigid, neither am I too spontaneous, but most of all I try as much as possible to deal with a situation on its merit to maximize on positive outcomes.

For example, I’m not a highly flexible and positive person, so I seek out to individuals who are flexible and positive in their lives and ask for their advice.
