What I Learned About Myself

Through Module two and three I was able to learn more about myself. I have been able to take self-assessments on communication, problem solving skills, locus of control, burnout, and stress. These tests were able to provide me with great feedback and results that will help me now and in the future. Since I want to work in the business industry when I get older, I was able to pick up a lot of great tips and tricks from the assessments. I am glad I was able to learn more about these fields personally pertaining to me, and how I can work towards improving the specific areas in my life to keep progressing with my goals. The communication skills test was not a shock when I received my score, because I know I am a very shy person and tend to freeze …show more content…
I scored a 27 on the test. I learned that I was an internal locus of control at a moderate level. The results were not shocking to me because I am the type of person that always puts a hundred percent into anything I do and try to make sure any task I take on comes out right and to the best of my ability. I learned that I do not rely on luck from this test. I was a little shocked to hear this, because I feel like my life is based on luck. I either have some good luck, but most of the time bad luck. My dad always teases me that it is the curse of our last name. Even though my life seems to run off luck, I do not believe it, as the results showed. The locus of control quiz has made me more aware of the opportunities I take to lead me in the right direction, as well as taking opportunities to improve my knowledge. I am always striving for achievements and to reach my goals. Having so much control over a situation has made me realize that I am not as prepared for the situations that arise and I have no clue what to do and end up making the wrong decision, like I learned from my problem-solving skills test. I have to be prepared for the best and the worst of situations and be able to go along with it, and work with the situation to my best ability. I am working on trying to not panic and freak out during these types of …show more content…
I scored a 26 after taking this test. I was surprised to see that I was even this close to having burnout. Although my results stated that I have little sign of burnout, unless something is severe, still shocked me. I feel like I have no signs of burnout, which is scary to think about if I do not think I have any and I do, and then it can come on quickly when I least expect it. I am only 19 so there is not an extreme amount of stresses in my life, except my family, school, and my health. The test has taught me that I need to focus on where to put the effort in my life. If I keep putting in a hundred percent into every little thing I do, I will soon find my self-burning out over things that I should not. I do worry about getting perfect grades and getting the best of my education, so I do worry a lot about school. I also tend to worry about my health, and I believe I do this subconsciously too, due to that fact that I have an illness. The burnout self test has shown me and made me realize that I need to slow down and keep putting in all my effort, but only where it is truly needed. I need to cut out all the little stresses in my life and focus on one thing at a time. After seeing the results from this test, I know if I continue the way I am going I will burnout
