Dominance,dominance,dominance
So here we are taking this personal profile test, and in my mind im thinking this is not going to work. There are alot of traits to a person's personality, but boy was I suprised. There were 28 slides with four different types of words that might define us, we had to choose two out of the four one being the most and the other the least, that best describes us. As I circled each word, I was getting more anxious to finding out what type I fall under. As a result I am a D(dominance) which couldent have described me better. I am the one who wants to get results without questioning my judgement. I like taking action and control of the situation at any moment. I am the one who will help people by being strict and precise, rather than nice and confused. The scary thing about all this, I asked myself is this who I will be forever? now that I know, I would like to maybe change a little and become more considerate and caring of others. It's a business world we live in but after all we are human beings. So yeah I would like to change from a dominance type and become an influencial type. I think I can become this type because some of the words were tricky, and some were the same. If I had more time to decide I think my answers could have changed, and I think this test would have been more accurate. In the long run yeah this test might help you figure out people in life, but it won't be 100 %. You would need more tests to get better results. Overall this was a fun experience, being that I never took a test like this in my life. Now I would like to take more tests similar to the one we took in class.

As you said, taking tests like that it is important because the only way to change yourself is by recognizing your current characteristics. For instance, I was sure that my main trait will be steadiness. In reality, I learned that I am conscientious or even more dominant that cooperative.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that you have found out something about yourself. Being aware of how other people perceive you is a very important thing to know. Hopefully we will take more sililar tests soon!
ReplyDeleteI also wouldn't put you into a dominance category...from my experience you look more like an influence type, or moderate dominant, which is good, because it shows that you have leadership potential, you can take a lead, but you are able to admit your mistakes and you do not press on your decision on anyone...You also listen to the people, attentive, care about how they are feeling - this is a feature of an influential type. Agree, that some words of the test were very similar to each other and had you had more time - you would probably get a different result. Overall, it's interesting that we are both influential types and we are not happy with the results that we got. But i'm sure there's light there and hopefully we'll change in the future. Good luck with that!
ReplyDeleteI like how you are taking these results and using the results as a way to change who you are to become who you want to be, and how you see yourself being in the future. Tests like these will never be 100 percent accurate but they can give us some insight on what direction we are headed and an overview of how we may be.
