Personal Profile Reflection To know who you are as an individual, what you’re capable of, and have a realization of what makes you you, brings out the uniqueness you possess through self- awareness. This is important because this separates us from everyone else; while standing out from the crowd you can recognize not only your individuality, but also your multiple intelligences, preferences, personality, and temperament. In this project I will be discussing the topics listed above, describing my self awareness and a little bit of who I am-- and what makes me divergently unique. In discovering my type of learning preference, I found some interesting things about the VARK learning styles. Because we are all different, we process our …show more content…
Dochen, and Russ Hodges 206). This assists me in college by being able to identify meanings and examples by painting a picture in my head, and outlining the meaning of what it is or how to process the information. In relation to my future career of physical therapy, I will be able to imagine or visualize body movements that collaborate with different muscles in rehabilitation and exercise. As well as bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, which is “ the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills.”(Sellers, De, Carol W. Dochen, and Russ Hodges 206). By possessing this intelligence I’m able to implement my work and abilities through hands on experience-- this relates to my career by utilizing tools/equipment, and exercises to aid patients from injuries and/or surgeries. My two bottom intelligences are logical and mathematical, and …show more content…
When implicating this through learning and my career, taking time out to think things out won’t be a problem nor will it keep me from working alone. Though I know I’ll have to work with people often, I don 't believe this will prohibit me from completing my tasks. To further go in depth of the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) type, my code “ISTJ” stands for: introvert, sensor, thinker, and judger. As I previously stated an introvert takes time to reflect; for instance: to rejuvenate, spending time to myself is a great way to re-energize. This type of focus of attention differentiates from an extravert because they learn and focus best by working with others, and like surrounding themselves with groups of people. S stands for sensing, and how we acquire or receive information through comprehensible guidance and direction. An example of a sensor would be through their experiences and how they view things in detail; this differs from an intuitive preference because they connect information while searching for the “bigger picture”. Then there’s thinking, which represents T, a logical and rational learner whereas connection is key. Such as challenging questions and thoughts of others to relate material, while separating themselves from personal values. Which leads me to
By being an INTP, I have interpreted why some things work in my favor. Being a perceiver allows me to embrace change while keeping any ill-thoughts (regarding changes I do not agree with) to myself. This personality blend, also, allows me to participate in group settings when brainstorming is needed, and having a lower preference in introversion grants me just enough patience to play along with the extroverts to complete the task. When putting two letters together, I have better understood my temperament. “Temperament arises from the regulation of arousal and emotion reliably producing characteristic, habitual responses to experience”, and mine is Intuitive Thinking (NT), so I create many options in my head (Blandin, K., February 2013, para. 4). On the other hand, my personality leads me to situations where I make irrational decisions because I’m not granted enough time to think everything through. As viewed in the presentation, “Lesson 1-Worldview perspective on organizational behavior”, understanding my personality typology, others’ typology, and organizational behavior will allow the workplace to be more efficient because we have a better understanding of ourselves and how we can work together. I’m now able to function in the team because I understand what I offer, how it is useful, and my obligation to the group (Fischer, K. slide
Certainly, the “introverted” versus “extroverted” label is an accurate description of my personality. I prefer peace and quiet as opposed to the hustle and bustle of typical work day. Moments of solitude are also cherished and in this setting I am the most productive. I typically stay at work a few hours past my normal shift to complete the tasks I could not beforehand. This is typically due to the constant interruptions (whether superiors or subordinates) in my office. At times, I may send my personnel home a bit early, so I can begin my tasks and not stay later into the evening. As Kroeger, et al. describes, this “alone time” is essential to “sift” through the information and make “good, clear decisions” (2002, p.
And there is a four-type definition of learning styles: 1. Accommodators (CE/AE) 2. Divergers (CE/RO) 3. Assimilators (AC/RO) 4. Convergers (AC/AE)
Learning is defined as a permanent change in attitude or behaviour that occurs as a result of repeated experience (Sims & Sims, 1995). Understanding one’s learning style has many advantages as it can help one to identify the learning method or activities that can help to optimise the learning experience. It has been suggested that the importance of one’s learning style has been identified through studies and research on how one can maximise the potential for success and further learning development (Honey & Mumford, 2006). Learning styles are unique to each individual and are developed in childhood (Chase, 2001). We all have different personalities; therefore we all have preferred learning styles that suit us best. The way one learns depends on preference. Some learn by observing, listening and imitating others and draw conclusions from their experience. There are several factors that affect our learning style; for example, background, culture, religion and environment can have a major influence on one’s learning.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has recognized my profile as Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking and Judgment (INTJ). As an introvert, I can get nervous among other people. It does not pose a problem for an individual. On the other hand, in order to be an effective leader, it is important for me to keep a profound communicational relationship with my subordinates. Without proper communication skills, it is not possible to establish a functional relationship with my subordinates. This may jeopardize the success of any activity that we are involved in. The introvert part is perhaps the major barrier which may keep me away from being an effective leader.
“It’s a blessed thing that in every stage in every age some one has had the individuality and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.” The part of me that sums up my identity best is not the adjectives given by family, or the faults I find in myself. My identity is my desire to better myself, and my passion for children. My identity is who I want to be and what I do to accomplish my goals My identity is the feelings and emotions I pour into my journal every day, and the way I feel when I do something right. My identity is not what others thing of me or what I think of myself after a bad day. My identity is the love and confidence I have in myslef, and the beauty inside.
My confirmed personality type according to the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator is INTJ, which stands for; Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Judging. Introverted people are comfortable being alone
To determine the best way I learn, I carried out two different learning styles questionnaires online. One may find that they are not always categorised in a specific type rather they may have more than one learning preference. Firstly, the most commonly used Neil Fleming’s VARK model. Fleming believes that there are four different types of learner: Visual, Auditory, Reading/writing and Kinesthetic learners. The second model I tried out was Soloman-Felder Learning Styles and Strategies.
There are countless factors that influence the way people personify themselves. In the end, the forming of one’s identity is dependent on a person themselves. Things such as media, culture, and education definitely have a part in determining identity, but it is important for people to determine their own uniqueness by not conforming to everything they may see or hear from these influences. The way people decide to forge their own personalities directly affects their futures.
“A learning style is a way of learning and refers to the way that you learn new information” (2). Most people have one preferred learning style and perform to a lesser standard when learning in a different style than what they’re used to. Nowadays, children are told to take a quiz in school to determine what their preferred learning style is, but after a few years, not many of these children remember what their preferred learning style is, or even if they do, they don’t apply it to their learning.
I(introvert), N(iNutitive), T(thinking), and J(judging) is one of the rarest of the sixteen psychological types and accounts for 1-2% of the population and just 0.8% of women. It is often a challenge to find like-minded individuals who are able to keep up with our relentless intellectualism and their chess-like maneuvering. Those of us with the INTJ personality type are imaginative, ambitious yet reserved, and amazingly curious. Good
more aware of my personality type, “(ISTJ) I am an Introvert (34%) Sensing (12%) Thinking
I am sentimental, out-going, indecisive, understanding, curious, naive, lazy, and young. I want to be ... , well a lot of things, and growing is discovering what they are. I feel people cannot see the potential within, although there is no one to blame but myself. I look to others for approval instead of to myself. I aim to please; it leads to approval. I don’t like to discuss my faults; I pity myself.
Thought out our lives, we are faced with many different learning experiences. Some of these experiences have made a better impact than others. This can be attributed to everyone’s different multiple intelligences or learning styles. A persons learning style is the method though which they gain information about their environment. As a teacher, it is our responsibility to know these styles, so we can reach each of our students and use all of the necessary methods.
Social psychologists, such as Hazel, Kitayama, Triandis, and Brewer to name a few, have been working on the subject of culture and social self since the early ninety’s. Through individual studies, they have found relationships between the origin of ones’ culture and their sense of self. In order to analyze their work, some definitions will have to be discussed in order to make for a better understanding of the relationship between culture and the social self.
