My Deviance In High School

Decent Essays
Naviance is a tool that helps juniors and seniors in high school during the college admittance process. The tests include personality, learning, and career clusters. During my freshman year I took these tests and two years later my results are still relevant. “Do What You Are” is the personality test and my results came out to be ENTJ which stands for Extravert, iNtuitive, Thinker, and Judger. To me, I think my personality is very strong and can overpower other people's, in a boss position this is a good thing but as a listener it is a weakness. I enjoy working with other people in groups and using our imaginations to make our project the best it can be. The second test that I took gave me my strengths which include- presence, relating, and

    Looking over the directions on how to complete the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment it sounded like another psychological analysis into our minds to track the way we think (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). It reminded me of a test given by major companies to a candidate for an available position to see what made you tick or find out if you would steal from them or go postal on the whole company. But to my surprise I actually learned something about myself, things that came natural to me to the point of not really paying any attention to them. According to this assessment my top strength is Strategic which does make sense to me when I started to review the results printed out on my report.…

    In the Strengths Finder survey, my five greatest strengths are adaptability, harmony, responsibility, consistency and an includer (Gallup, 2010). I realized that I had some of those strengths but some of those are new to me. The strength that has always stood out to me that I knew about was responsibility. The other four, I guess I have developed along the way. As I sit and think about my results of my test.…

This test described my strengths as an activator, a relator, a communicator, an empathetic person, as well as saying that I adapt very well. I can agree with StrengthsQuest that I am these five things.…

It allowed me to not only learn more about myself and the characteristics that make me unique but also how to use these characteristics to my advantage.

    I thought the Survey of Character Strengths was an interesting survey to take. My first and second strengths were not particularly surprising to me, however my third was not what I necessarily expected it to be, but I am certainly not unhappy with it. All three strengths are values I have always admired because I have grown up watching my parents and older siblings showcase all three. I have consciously tried to emulate their example regarding these strengths and it was intriguing and encouraging to see all three show up in the survey. I was glad to see which strength showed up as my top, as kindness and generosity are especially important to me.…

    Personal Strengths Inventory This strength assessment is very accurate and confirms strengths that I already recognized about myself. My first strength is connectedness.

My second strength is adaptability. Adaptability is the ability to move from task-to-task quickly without becoming disorganized and frustrated.…

    Zachery Roberson Virtues and Actions I participated in taking a survey created by the University of Pennsylvania to evaluate your personality on 24 different characteristics. The purpose of the questionnaire is to find which of the 24 character traits are your strengths. The survey is 240 questions long and is comprised of a series of statements, most of these statements ask how much you think the statement sounds like you, but several of them ask how other people see you. After taking the test, it listed several of my strongest character traits, the top 3 traits being perspective wisdom, self-control and self-regulation, and love of learning. When looking at the reading the description of what perspective wisdom is, I would say that it isn 't describing the correct attribute.…

    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.…
