Value Assessment Reflection

Improved Essays
I think the assessments were somewhat accurate. For the values inventory, it helped me understand my values. Off the top of my head it 's not likely that I think about specific things like what I believe in. in truth it actually takes time to stop and pause and think, I strongly value family. The values assessment helped to get a better understanding of myself which is weird. Being the only person with me 24/7 should be an indicator that I must know myself but actually don 't. It 's easy to study for tests, quizzes and exams but studying yourself is different. You can 't Google the answers and study from a sheet for it is within. Through completing the values assessment I rediscovered my expectations, influences and values. I also thought …show more content…
It made me seem like I make decisions out of knowledge and thinking when I actually don 't. Sure I write and write and write looking for the best possible decision but I mainly go with my gut feel. For example there 's a concert on Saturday from 8pm-10pm that I want to go to. However my parents said because it 's at the Phoenix theater in Sherbourne I can 't go. I could easily tell them I 'm going to work or to a party and they 'll never know but it feels wrong. Decisions like this are not decided by logic but by how I feel. When I am angry I make decisions out of anger and when I and happy I make decisions out of happiness but not really by logic. I know I should save for a new guitar since I broke it but I much rather by starbucks. I tell myself repeatedly not to buy it because it 's a waste of money but I just do buy it. On the scale it says i mainly make decisions logically at 8 on the scale of 10 being logical and 0 being intuition which is so wrong. It is hard to believe yourself while doing assessments when that dont know you like you know yourself. I just find it pathetic comparing the sheet of information a piece of paper knows to the experience you have had with yourself forever. This aspect shows my lack of logical thinking at times and my basis of …show more content…
In my future I always wanted to be a doctor* but now I want to be a psychiatrist. It made me think of all the different choices I have for an occupational and how I should choose one that incorporates my talents and gifts. In psychiatry I can help people by using facts and information. My talent in art can be used to decorate the room that I work in. This profession helps me be the best me while getting paid. It also learned that I value my parents a lot. Even though they nag me and annoy me a lot I still actually care and respect them. Most of the decisions that I made and am making are because of their input in my life. I want to help others because when my parents help me I feel incapable and by helping others it shows I am capable. Being the middle China I was always independent and felt suffocated when I was helped by others. By being helpful to others. In conclusion the knowledge gained from these assessments accurate or not have been beneficial to my life. They help me think and live out my life though insight on my new future career and knowledge of my values. These careers have surprisingly been very beneficial to

    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.…

    This study focuses on the effects of life events on the decision-making abilities. I hypothesized that the following variables would have a significant effect on indecision: number of close friends, Greek life affiliation, relationship status, age, seriousness of relationship, number of moves as a child. Surveys and demographic sheets were randomly distributed to undergraduate UNL students and acquaintances that were recruited. None of the variables showed a significant effect on the indecision and double checking ratings, suggesting that life events in general do not greatly impact a person’s ability to make decisions. Moreover, future research that accounts for personal experience may explain why the effect of life events was not significant…

    The basis of decision-making can be understood by studying the cognitive heuristics that accompany mental processing, thought, and ability to assess a situation. However, how can we examine the effects of decision-making when we skip the analyzing process – rather, how can we judge the effectiveness of following our gut in quick decisions? “Heuristics is the unconscious, or quick decisions that humans make due to integrated social norms, or mental short-cuts” (Pearl, Judea, 1983, p. 48). The use of heuristics in decision-making is often regarded as the foolish or quick decisions caused by the lack of full analysis before action. While there is an undeniable need for mental processing in any decision, psychologists question the accuracy of our…
