Personal Inventory Assessment Reflection
Introduction
The Personal Inventory Assessment (PIA) is an assessment used to gain a greater understanding of one’s own abilities, preferences, and strategies. The information used in these assessments can be used for insights into the choices made in day to day operations, how conflict is handled, and the implementation of one’s personality into their work.

After learning about the categories, I believe career orientation should have been the larger score because I strive for excellence always. Whether it be linked to my ego, I always want to do better than expected. To motivate career oriented workers, it is recommended to provide a ladder for employees to climb, as well as pay incentives and greater responsibilities. At HomeGoods, there is a ladder to climb with greater responsibilities, but falls short on pay incentives. As a loyal employee of three years, with continual skill increase, dependability, and overall improvement, they would provide a raise more than sixty cents. When I am irritated of work or something that makes working less enjoyable, I may lean towards job orientation. It is recommended to have time away from work to relax and take your
