For the Keirsey personality test, I received the Artisan personality type. I wasn’t very surprised when I received this type because I have taken similar tests and have gotten similar scores or types before. According to my results artisans “naturally excel in any of the arts”. The results spoke of artisans having keen senses and loved working with their hands. The results also spoke of artisan’s doing whatever it takes to get where they want to be. I found this to be very true and relatable. This past year I have had many jobs, piled on classes, and worked many hours to work towards my goal of graduating. I have moved away from home (my comfort zone) and worked towards my dream of being the first in my family to graduate from college. I have …show more content…
Although I am a hard worker, I do enjoy having fun and trying new things. I am always looking for a new artist to see live or a new restaurant to eat at. I try to travel and go to festivals as much as my wallet permits me to. I strongly believe doing what is considered fun to you is when you are most present and happy. Artisans are competitive, impulsive, and adaptable. They are also too nice for their own good. Generosity and compassion are my favorite traits about myself however, at times I find it can only put me in a bad position or out of luck. Artisans also don’t enjoy being confined. They do what they want, when they want. Here again, I see the results to be very in line with my personality. I do not enjoy being bound down. I like to think for myself and do what I want to do. This definitely relates to more of the relationships in my life. Lastly, the ideal job for me would be a job where I have the freedom to “gather observations, collections of facts, and set of skills in order to do your work.” Overall, I found my results to be very on point with my actually personality. It was a tad creepy however amusing to read and relate …show more content…
The report described my self-esteem to be pretty strong. If people reject me based on who I am or what I do, I am most likely not going to be affected by it. I also don’t really go out of my way to attain approval from people who don’t accept the way I am. Although rejection may hurt me, I don’t let it change how I feel about myself. The results described me as strong and only worried about my own approval. I found these results to be pretty true now that I have gotten older. When I was younger I used to always worry about what others thought of me, however as I have grown and been through more hardships, I have learned that the only approval I need is my own. I agreed with the results when it said at times I may feel hurt when rejected but not devastated. This is true. At times I still feel this hurt, however I don’t let it ruin my view on
I found that I enjoyed work most when I was in a team, which is something that I did not expect since I’m an introvert who hates group projects. Nonetheless, I have loved my jobs where I am working alongside my coworkers and having them push me creatively and in my work ethic; it also just makes work more fun. Correspondingly, I have hated every job where I have not felt challenged, as well as, jobs where I have been patronized regularly by my supervisors. In addition to this, I also found that I prefer the social, realistic, and enterprising people-environments; the social environment surprised me, but the description of it as, “people who are bent on trying to help, teach, or serve people” is exactly what I came to realize I want. After brainstorming and finishing Bolles’ questions, I discovered that my ideal career would be in small organization, where the coworkers collaborate closely; it would be in a city with a sizeable population of people my age, where craft products and small businesses are flourishing. Likewise, the organization would be focused on providing a service that gives back to those in the community, hopefully combatting the cycle of poverty. In the organization, I would like to be coordinating people or events, and doing other behind-the-scenes duties that keep the whole place running. As far as
With all the surveys and reading that I have done I have concluded that my personality is pretty consistent with what I believe that it is. Before taking this class I knew that I was shy but very friendly, I was very motivated in my school work and social life and my personality is pretty consistent. I also learned things about myself that I didn’t know even existed and now I know terms to describe myself.
...me feel as if what they thought about me was actually true because so many people thought the same thing. Even though I was emotionally hurt, my reaction to this event made things positive. As stated before, I purposely tried to smile and look less intimidating. This got me into a better mood and gave me happy thoughts. People reacted differently to a new me and my emotions were not the same as before when people judged me as a shy and hard to approach girl.
Application of career theories to my own life allows for analyzing past and future career decisions. Holland’s Theory of Careers states that one’s vocation is an expression of self, personality, and way of life. There is an indisputable and fundamental difference in the quality of life one experiences if they choose a career one truly enjoys, versus choosing a career one detests. A true testament to the validity of Holland’s theory, my job/career choices reflect my interests, as well as the evolution of my personality (internal self). My first job as a fine jewelry specialist and second job as a make-up artist echo my love of the fashion world. As I matured and became less fascinated by presumed “glamour” careers, I became captivated by physical fitness, nutrition, and medicine; I received my national fitness trainer certificate so that I may become a personal trainer. Nevertheless, my career decisions do not fit uniformly into merely one career theory.
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter II identified my temperament as artisan, and the classic temperament report identified me as an ISTP, or Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving. The description of my temperament was dead on with my view of myself, especially the more in depth classic temperament. My strengths include an excellent ability to apply logic and reason to solve problems or discover how things work, and being high;y practical and realistic, however I will not function well in regimented or structured environments, as I will become bored or feel stifled. This temperament profile also correlates to my learning style, as the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II results also mention that I learn best hands-on, and states that ISTP’s are a master of their physical environment.
The first type of personality trait is openness. Openness regarding personality is the tendency to appreciate new art, ideas, values, feelings, and behaviors. People can either be in the low-scoring range or the high-scoring range. People in the low-scoring range are generally inartistic, down-to-earth, and they have narrow interests (Diener, 2017). People in the high-scoring range are generally curious, imaginative, and untraditional (Diener,2017). The score on my test stated that I received a sixteen out of nineteen for women. My test results for openness indicated that I am in the low-scoring range. Some behaviors that can indicate these results as true are when I am in an art museum I
I chose to take a self-objective personality assessment on Outofservice.com to analyze my own personality traits. A series of 60 questions were asked for to me to rate my behavior a scale of 1 through 5 to determine my personality. Questions ranged from, how I am at parties to how much I care for others. The website uses the Five-Factor Model to understand the way people’s personalities differ from one another’s, the same model used in general psychology. I was given a percent and a brief description on my behavior in the traits of Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Even though they are many more personality traits, each individual lies somewhere on the spectrum of these five
In Conclusion, contrary to the presumption that most people suffer from low self-esteem or feelings of inferiority, it is found that most people exhibit a self-serving bias. Individuals typically rate their selves better than average on subjective, desirable traits and abilities. Some individuals display overconfidence, which can lead to eventual feelings of failure. I have a self-serving bias as well as most everyone else, even though I may not even notice it. So next time you find yourself saying, "I was in a bad mood that day," "A lot of people make that same mistake," or "I can do it better myself," think about what you are saying and maybe you might catch your self serving bias.
Low self-esteem affects individual’s success. If the person is pessimistic and believe in external locus of control, then they think their life is totally controlled by other people. They totally depend on others because they believe that they themselves cannot change their life. They believe in luck rather than their hard work. So, people who have low self-esteem, who rely too heavily on validation from external sources can easily lose control over their lives and never get success in their life.
I have an unusual working style, I’m an explore and excite kind of girl. My individuality is key to my success. I need to be allowed to work in my own way. Traditional methods of working are often limiting to my creative mind. I function best in and open-ended, semi-chaotic environment. I thrive in change and enjoy action-oriented settings. I am inspired by people working together, thinking outside of the box and making connections between ideas.
Low levels of self-esteem carry distinctive behaviors and views that can be pervasive and detrimental to someone's overall quality of life. A sufferer of low self-esteem tends to believe he has little value as a person, and these feelings can often lead to social difficulties while high levels of self-esteem are frequently seen as ideal goals for anyone seeking to improve his self-image. A person with high self-esteem tends to learn from past failures without dwelling on them, to connect well with others, and to confidently believe in his own opinions. A healthy level of self-esteem can help significantly in creating a positive outlook on life.
According to Holland (1985), the choice of a career is an extension of one’s personality into the world of work. Individuals choose careers that satisfy their preferred personal orientations. Holland developed six modal personal styles and six matching work envi¬ronments: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enter¬prising, and conventional. A person is attracted to the particular role demand of an occupational environ-ment that meets his or her needs. For example, some¬one who is socially oriented would seek out a work environment that provides interactions with others, such as nursing in a hospital setting. Holland and his colleagues have developed a number of instruments (e.g., the Self-Directed Search) designed to assist in identifying individual personality traits and matching those traits to occupational groups. Holland’s theory assesses each individual in terms of two or three most prominent personality types and matching each type with the environmental aspects of potential careers. It is predicted that the better the match, the better the congruence, satisfaction, and persistence (Holland, 1985). Holland also elaborated five secondary assumptions which he calls key concepts that describe the theory. These assumptions
There are two theories that describe how interactions shape our self-views. One defines perceptions of the judgments of others called Reflected Appraisal. It is the notion of receiving supportive and nonsupportive messages. It states that positive appreciation and a high level of self-value is gain when supportive messages are received. In contrast, receiving nonsupportive messages leads to feeling less valuable, lovable, and capable. Everyone that you and I interact with influences these self-evaluations. Either from your past or from present –all shapes how you view yourself, especially from our significant others. The strength of messages from significant others become stronger and eventually affect the health, when they are nonsupportive; depression, for instance, leads to less physical activities that are necessary for a healthy body. However, the foremost important influences are our parents. Supportive parents raise children with healthy self-concepts. While nonsupportive parents raise an unhappy child who view his/her self in negative ways.
To have a rewarding career it is important for me to understand how my personality affects my behavior at my job. Knowing my personality traits will help me to have better relationships in my organization. It will allow me to understand how I interact with my co-workers. The Myers-Briggs Personality test will allow me to learn about my unique personality traits. The four letter formula will help me to better understand my personality. It will also allow me to see on these traits affect my behavior at work.
A reflection of the self is an important tool to use to figure out whether or not your self-concept provides you with a positive self-esteem. First ask yourself, ‘who am I?’ and once you figure that out, determine if your perception of yourself is a positive one. If it’s not positive, you might want to consider making a change very quickly in order to live a fulfilling life. An even more important tool is to compare your own self-concept to the perception others have of you. I interviewed four people and asked them three questions. Those questions were as follows. “How do you perceive me physically? How do you perceive me socially? How do you perceive me psychologically?” Their overall physical perception of me is, I am beautiful,
