Rich Eisenauer Character Traits

Concealed Strengths Which Show Case the Obvious

Rich Eisenauer, my former Sunday School teacher of two years, is my adult fan. For the past few years, Mr. E has been much more of a Sunday School teacher to me; he has been a mentor and father figure who has helped me overcome some of my biggest challenged. He is someone who I have talked to about almost everything, and as a result, acquired a profound understanding of my character. When prompted with the task to meet with an adult who knows me well and understands the way I think, I immediately knew that Mr. E was the best person to help me with the interview.

Eisenauer has a good understanding of the way I interact with people. He was correct when he said that I’m cautious and have to have a read on people. However, once I trust someone I’m loving, loyal, and will do anything for them. I am grateful that people are able to see those latter qualities. Finally, I told Mr. Eisenauer my top five strengths; achiever, futuristic, maximizer, intellection, and command. He agreed with the order of the first three, but thought that command should be higher on the list. This is because I step up to challenges (like when lifeguarding) and I present myself in a way of confidence. He also included that most people do not know that I’m futuristic, that I keep it quiet except with people whom I trust.
Speaking to Mr. Eisenauer taught me the way other people perceive me. From our meeting I learned that when people characterize me, they see achiever and command. That makes sense considering that futuristic, maximizer, and intellection are my strengths which occur “below the surface.” Meaning, they take place in my mine and are expressed when I achieve or command. The most significant information that my meeting provided me with was the fact that my analytical strengths are unnoticeable, but work to make me the achiever and commander whom people perceive me to

    Future Profession Interview When assigned an interview in my freshman level English class, there was no doubt in my mind that Clint Selman, my honors psychology professor, would be my first choice.

    Upon completing the StrengthsFinder survey, it is determined my 5 greatest strengths are the learner, achiever, competition, strategic, and relator, all of which I expected (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). While reading the text I examined the various themes of different strengths, relating closely to the 5 assigned by the survey, I am impressed by how well the explanations were written in the book, Strengths Quest Second Edition. The text in correlation with the materials provided from the StrengthsFinder survey brought forth meaning and depth into finding out exactly the type of person I am. Learning is listed as my top strength in the survey (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). I believe I have used that trait extensively throughout…

    Starting with my strengths, I have always been athletic as I grew up playing almost every sport and acquired enough skills to do well in most other activities that may be new to me. I have assumed leadership roles on most of my sports team at one time or another, and in a number of projects at school. I do not see this as a huge strength at this time because my experience in leading as a teacher is fairly limited. However I hope to change this throughout this year with my multiple experiences in this class and others.…
