The life styles inventory is a survey of questions that help us to gain an insight into our own personality and what type of behaviors we exert to others as individuals. It helps us to look at the positive and negative qualities of our personalities and ways to improve upon them.
My First style is the Affiliative thinking style. The Affiliative thinking style is manifested in my work and personal life because I tend to value relationships. If I feel I am not forming interpersonal relationships at work with my coworkers then I do not feel very connected to my job. It makes me feel out of place and lost. In my personal life, I tend to feel the same way when I’m not participating in interpersonal contact. Moving to Chicago was a real challenge for me because I did not know anyone and I left all my friends in Washington DC when I moved there except for my aunt. All my family also lives in my home country, which also made my first few months here difficult. I felt very lost and unconnected to Chicago during the first few months after my arrival. Once I started to form personal relationships with people, I started to feel more centered. My secondary thinking style is the Self-Actualizing Style. This style is manifested in both my professional and personal lives. In my professional life, I continually strive to grow and always look for new ways to challenge myself. An example of this is that I am currently attending Graduate school yet still plan on trying to learn fluent English to help compliment my education. At work, I always try to find the most efficient way to complete my job duties when I feel I am not doing something productive. I know myself very well and take pride in that. I know what I can handle at work and in my personal life and I know what I can’t. I hardly ever commit to something I feel I can’t do. In my personal life, I value knowing myself and have a very good handle on my self-worth. My limiting style is the Perfectionistic
