Self-Assessment
By doing the self-assessment, I learned that I am good at adopting life long learning, and discovering self-motivation. On both areas I scored an 80. I think I scored higher on these areas because I have always been a very independent learner. In school and in life if I did not know how to do something I have almost always been able to figure it out with little to no help. I was not surprised at all that I scored higher on these then other areas. I am the type of person that likes to learn something new every day. I do not require other people being on me about doing the things I need and want to do. All I really need is someone to point me in the direction to learn what I need to learn to be able to do the things I want to do in life. I did not disagree with these scores at all. The areas that I scored the lowest on were employing interdependence, with a 52, gaining self-awearness, and mastering self-management, both with scores of 67. I don't think a 67 is really that low but they could be better. I think I scored lower on employing interdependence because like I said before I have almost always been able to figure things out with little to no help from others. Growing up I did not really have a support group, that had the abilities to help me. My mother grew up with dyslexia, but graduated from high school with help from her friends and her mother. My stepfather has an 8th grade education, due to the family situations he went through growing up. I don't blame them. I think growing up in this situation made me a stronger person, by pushing me to do better then they did. Other then my aunt, who I did not really see very often, I am the only one in my family to go to college. I did slightly disagree with my scores for gaining self-awearness and mastering self-management. I believe I am pretty good at self-management. I like to keep daily schedules so that I can manage my time the best I can. As for self-awearness I believe I am pretty good at being aware of

    I find the scores very surprising. According to "Mind Tools" (n.d.), “You're on your way to becoming an excellent manager. You're doing some things well, and these are likely the things you feel comfortable. Now it's time to work on the skills that you've been avoiding. Focus on the areas where your score is little, and figure out what you can do to make the improvements you need.” The "Mind Tools" (n.d.) website, I scored low on Problem Solving and Decision making. I got and 8 of 10, stating that I not comfortable in this area. I will take this information and work on building my Problem-solving and Decision making skills. However, I did score high motivating people. I believe people confidence and improve their job…

    After carefully reviewing my result of Self-Assessment Scoring Sheet by Skip Downing, I believe that it was a great opportunity to identify what is true about me. I scored higher in the areas of accepting personal responsibility and believing in yourself. Additionally, I could have identified what is true about me from the result of mine because I scored higher in the areas that I usually think as important aspects to be a part of society. To put it in more detail, I would like to explore how I feel about these scores. Even though there are some remarkable aspects that I need to pay attention to have a successful student life, I am satisfied with my higher score areas. The reason why is while accepting self responsibility can be also…

    After taking the self-assesment I have discovered a few thing I did not know about myself. I figured out my strengths and weaknesses and have found out I am a successful student! One of my highest scores was in 'Accepting Personal Reponsibility' another was 'Mastering Self-Management'. I am very well organized and it is very unlikely for me to not accept responsability when I am at fault. My lowest score was 'Believing In Myself' which was hard to believe since I always try to push myself past any challenge.…

    I have really excellent self management. I feel I manage my time and keep things organized very well. For as long as I can remember I've kept a full planner of due dates, times I work, birthdays, and any other upcoming events. So as I'm sure you can guess, I was very pleased to see that I scored well on the self management portion of this self-assessment. Another thing I was happy to see on this self-assessment was that I did not score under a 40 in any category. To me, this shows I could use some help perfecting my study skills, self-awareness, responsibility, and motivation but generally, I am not to far off from being a successful student. One thing that came as a shock to me was that my highest score was discovering self-motivation. I feel I sometimes lack motivation to save money, do an assignment, or even wake up and come to class at 8am so to see this as my strongest area was quiet the surprise.…

    I was somewhat taken aback with the opportunities part of my results. I did not score as high as I would have liked to score in this section. I scored the lowest in presenting. I scored a 1 out of 5 and I did agree with that because presenting is not one of my strongest things to do although I know I have to work on that as much as possible. I did think that coping with pressure could have been higher but I scored a 2 out of 5 on that. On goal focus, I scored a 2 out of 5 and that made me feel horrible because I have set goals for myself and sometimes I push my goals to the back of my list to accommodate my life or help other people with their goals.…

    The first part of self assessing me was pretty important because it was a sum of my whole lifestyle in one. Giving me an overall look on what I should change or if I should even change any of my habits. My smoking score was a perfect 10, which was not surprising at all to me. My alcohol/drug score for this was seven points because I do drink. The score for my eating and exercising habits were perfect because I do a good job when it comes to eating right and working out on a daily. My stress control score was an eight, but I do understand why. I do know that I stress to some extent. My last score was safety and the score for that was a nine. I think my life is pretty amazing if you ask me.…

    I learned from my score that I am “a moderately resilient person” (Allison-Napolitano and Pesult, 2015, p.14) and “fairly confident” (Allison-Napolitano and Pesult, 2015, p.14) in my abilities. I realized that I am very comfortable in handling crisis at work and in leading and directing staff through stressful situations. I am confident in instructing staff on patient care, documentation, regulations, encouragement, dealing with difficult patients, how to improve their organizational skills, how to achieve their professional goals, and looking at things from an employee perspective. I found that I am very confident in meeting with peers and those that I report to. An area where I see an opportunity to grow is in handling personal criticism and people that are indifferent towards me. I like everyone and can usually find some glimmer of positive appreciation for them. I truly care about those around me and struggle when people are clearly rude and hurtful toward me. I am ok with others not agreeing with me or choosing another colleagues design over mind, but people that misinterpret my intensions or form a dislike for me following a ruling that I make, stays with me and hurts. I appreciated the teaching and guidance from the lecture this week, regarding not taking things personally and learning from the…

    Upon completing the quiz, I found that my learning style results were quite surprising. Since I plan to have a long career as a businesswoman, I expected that my kinesthetic learning qualities would be low. Similarly, I expected my auditory learning results to be higher. This is because, as a future CPA and businesswoman, much of the information I will receive in my career is auditory and very little is kinesthetic. The other learning style results were middle of the road and expected. However, my strongest and weakest intellectual abilities, multiple intelligences, are bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and musical intelligence, which do match my learning style. Therefore, I could not be too surprised by the results. In terms of the other learning style results, they were middle of the road and thus not too remarkable or unexpected.…

    Each of the self-assessments were an eye opener to me and to what my life has been like since the first-time primary socialization has taken place. The results for my analysis were more focused on groups. Most of the words that I wrote down put me into groups with other people, such as, nursing student or bibliophile. The results for the second analysis were that I am in the normal range for self-esteem. The next analysis that I did told me that I believe we are all in control of our own fate. To me, this means that the actions I take determine how my life will play out and that the term luck is used by people who are too afraid to take control or do anything with their life. The fourth analysis showed me that in some situations my behavior…
