Results:
Life stress inventory score 255 meaning I am at a 50% chance of a major health breakdown
Coping and stress management skills 67
Type A personality test 41% irritability
After reviewing my results I think I think my own opinion about my personality was confirmed. I was not surprised that my irritability was at a 41% although I thought it might be higher. Additionally, I have always been someone that has done a lot at all times and has a hard time taking a break. Speaking on my friends, Roomate mentioned got me that even when I am relaxed I am always thinking about what is next. Unless everything is done I will not be in a calm mood- and to be honest there will never be a point where everything is done.
MOVING FORWARD
Moving forward in my career I have learned throughout this class as well as my own learning that balance is key. Taking work home should not be normal. If you look at the recent year you can see many people suffering from burnout. After learning more about my personality I think it will be detrimental to listen to my mind and body and set achievable goals but not over work myself. My career can be very draining so setting those boundaries and keeping my personality in mind is very important to me.
