A few traits I learned about myself from taking this test are, I am usually up-front with what I want, persistent in creating plans that help me reach my goals and I posses the ability to take action in a positive, respectful and patient way. I act with authority and confidence and I do not allow others to violate my rights. This can make me seem aggressive at times, however I believe it’s important to stand up for what I believe to be true at all times. I try to always consider the rights, needs and feelings of others, so there can be less room for conflict. Assertiveness can also mean someone is firm, yet also encouraging, which is very important in my career. The obstacles I encounter most are low self-esteem and fear of conflict. These

I believe that I would find it rewarding to work with children to help them develop their own skills and abilities in regards to the obstacles shown early in their life.…
