Personal Inventory Assessment Essay

Decent Essays
After taking part in the Personal Inventory Assessment, I found out a lot about myself that I did not know. Trying to incorporate the results from this test into the workplace and organizational behavior can be challenging. I will take the results from this test and show what I have learned about myself and how they relate to the work place. I will first address what about me I have learned, then show how these things are relevant to the workplace that I am in, then I will show how these things affect others around me, and finally I will show how these results show how I am in life in organizations. I will also show how these results will help or not help me with my organizational behavior in relation to my employees or being a manager. I will …show more content…
The first one I found to be very interesting was the ability to have self-control when working with others. No one has to tell me to be more careful or thoughtful when it comes to working with others. I am highly disciplines, believe in a structures approach to living, and will not sacrifice mi long-term interests for the sake of short-term pleasures. I am fully self-aware of most situations and pay close attention to my own emotional and psychological reactions to make sure I never lose my composure in the workplace. I try to set goals with others to work as a team and stick to strategies that we adopt to achieve them, no matter how tempted we might be to stray from the corrected path. Another trait that I found out about myself was that I have a high level of prudence. I think about the consequences of my actions and how they will affect others around me. I never make rash decisions and always try to protect the actions into the future, to gauge my long-term life chances that might be impacted by the things I do today. I am cautious, restrained and will not take to many unnecessary risks in the workplace. When I commit to a course of action or plan, I will follow through with it to the end to see that it is done right, knowing that by doing so I am increasing my chances of its success. I will act very boldly but before I do, I …show more content…
One of the first traits that I came across was the trait of teamwork. To have teamwork in an organization is a major key for success. I am ready to share and cooperate when big challenges are on the horizon. Being a team player means that I understand team dynamics implicitly, and know how to make others feel notices, acknowledged, and appreciated. I do not was to stand out from the crown in the organization, but I am competitive in the sense that I want to see my group perform at the highest level, and will celebrate my teams successes with happiness and enthusiasm. Loyalty and social responsibility to the organization means everything to me and I am often quite active in charities and will frequently volunteer for community projects with many members of my organizations. Another trait that came from taking the PIA was the trait of leadership. Good leaders are not afraid to take the initiative. In fact, I prefer doing so, relishing the fact that others depend on me to step forward and take responsibility. Natural leaders are highly organized, resourceful, flexible, and charismatic without being overbearing on others. I like to try to help other people reach their full potential and have full confidence in my ability to do so. I try not to procrastinate and never take anything for granted, frequently checking in to see how my associates in the

    National Honor Society Application Essay For any human to exhibit qualities throughout their lifestyle, one must transcend in certain aspects of their nature. Everyone is born with a different character or personality and not everyone exceeds in all of the same categories, however; I would place myself among the four characteristics of scholarship, leadership, service, and outstanding character as some of the qualities where I excel. I have always been a very studious person, and I take pride in my achievements in the classroom. I was also raised to believe that my best is an A, so when I got my first B it was not something taken lightly. I try to remember that if you put your mind to something, then you can accomplish it, which reminds me of the quote by Mike Farrell, “If you try to do your best there is no failure.”…

    The analysis results from the various self-assessments have afforded me the opportunity to notice hidden aspects about myself. I have been able to perform contemplative and thorough self-examinations of my personality in order to determine viable methods to enrich my overall personality. It has been my experience that organizational behavior in many ways are similar to the institutionalized behaviors exhibited by those in orphanages or prisons. The similarities reside in the fact that the workplace is an environment where people from very different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities and religious beliefs find themselves compartmentalized into an environment, directed towards a new way of life and then ordered to play nice…
