What surprised me was that I scored a 42 on my listening skills, and although this score is not low, it is not high either. This indicates that I could improve my listening to a greater degree. Another aspect I believe is important is the ability to discipline and give correction to others. In this area I scored a 13, and according to the reports any score under 19 shows there can be much improvement in disciplining others. One of the other aspect of working with others is the ability to have charisma. Charismatic leaders are leaders who are recognized as having exceptional leadership abilities. The highest of my scores were in the management of attention, or how much I pay attention to others when communicating with them. This also works in concert with my other high score I had which was my management of my actions in regards to others. I think that this is a good combination to have, to be aware of your own actions while simultaneously being aware of how you come off to others.

They make decisions for the greater good, with all concerned in mind, even if it may be against their own personal beliefs.…

    Self-Assessment Assignment 1.A. Personality Test: Guardians I have already done this kind of test more than twice before, and I always got the same result, which is ISTJ. This website didn’t tell which personality type I have, but they told me I am a Guardian (SJ’s), and ISTJ is one of the four types of Guardians. The part that I totally agree with is that I am following the rules and cooperating with others, not very comfortable blazing new trails, cautious about change, honor customs and traditions, and believe in law and order. Many people say that I am very tradition and somewhat conservative, but I am also kind of flexible and open-minded.…

    The PLACE assessment that we took was surprising helpful in clarifying what personality and skills I have, what areas of ministry I’m truly passionate about, and it even generated more questions for me to investigation. I have taken a couple of personality tests in the past, but this one was different because it gave me so much more feedback than just telling me how I think.

Actually, the opposite is true – because our schools focus on academic achievement, as opposed to mastering the skills needed to be successful in the game of life, many high school and college graduates pass into adulthood ill prepared to cope in the real world. Learning will usually occur as a result of your life experiences.…
