Do What You are Assessment
When I initially took the "Do What You are Assessment" the findings were inconclusive and misleading. Originally, I felt like the results of the assessment were vague and didn't describe me whatsoever. The test pretty much told me that I was withdrawn from emotion; I was someone who wanted to think logically, only wanted facts, and I just wanted people to work in a neat and organized fashion. Those characteristics might describe me in my work life, but in my personal life I am completely different, so after taking the test I shared my negative feedback with the online assessment.

    My greatest strength is that I am a compassionate person; I am easy to approach and I am a good listener. I have been told that I am a person who can empathize with others, and consequently, people find comfort in sharing their stories with me.

    Using the 5 dynamics tool, I discovered several working style characteristics about myself that I really had not previously thought about. The application of this new knowledge will improve the way that I work with other people in my education, my career and in my personal life. For example, I learned that if I partner with others whose strength and weakness are different from mine, working together as a whole we will obtain better results than we will if we work separately. Furthermore, I learned that each team member brings different strengths to the project thereby producing a more balanced result. As a result of taking the 5 dynamics assessment, I discovered that I have valuable strengths that are especially beneficial in developing…
