1. What am I good at?

• I am good at many things. For one, I am good at staying organized and planning ahead. I always write-out my day or week so I do not miss anything important. I am also good at fostering relationships with people. Whether it is someone I already know or a stranger, I know I am great at making a conversation and connecting with people.

2. What do I value?

• The non-tangible asset of mine that I value the most is my work-ethic. I value being able to buckle down and get necessary work done, even when you don’t want to. A tangible asset of mine that I value most is probably my phone. I spent a lot of time researching what would be a good fit for my needs, and spent a lot of money on the phone itself. I am extremely happy with the purchase.

3. How did I get here?

• I got to where I am by being persistent and disciplined. I also had to adjust my attitude and adopt a more positive outlook on my life, which has created a lot more happiness for me. I also got here with the help of my friends and family members. The support and love they have offered me throughout my life has been an amazing foundation for me to build my life.

4. Where am I going?

• Although I can’t be 100% certain, I would say I am going somewhere I can grow my career, as well as somewhere I can grow my family. I have been looking for jobs in Colorado, Washington, Montana, and Oregon, which are all places I would love to start a career and family of my own. I am going somewhere that the climate is not too warm, and there must be mountains that I can snowboard.

The results of my personality test revealed that I scored highly in extraversion with a score of 82, and low in neuroticism with a score of 21. The highest scores in the extraversion section came from my friendliness (82), excitement-seeking (82), and cheerfulness (96). The lowest scores in my neuroticism section were from anger (20), depression (22), and immoderation (12). My scores for agreeableness varied from a range of 69 in altruism, to a 26 in modesty. My total score for agreeableness was a 43. For the consciousness section, I scored a total of 72, with my highest category being self discipline (86) and my lowest being self-efficacy (29). For my final section of the big five personality traits, I scored a 51 in openness to experience. My lowest score in that section was adventourness (29), and my highest was emotionality (91). 

A potential employer may see these results and find a few different strengths and weaknesses. One strength that stands out is my score in extraversion, particularly cheerfulness. Having a positive attitude and being a cheerful person has helped me be a happier person who brings positive energy to my environment. As an employee, this is a valuable strength that can help bring the best out in other employees alongside myself.  Another strength an employer may note is my self-discipline. Having scored highly here, I am someone who can buckle down and get my work done when I need to. I try not to get distracted easily and I value having discipline in my actions. As a new employee, having self-discipline is important in order to build a good reputation among colleagues. The first big weakness a employer might notice is my low score in self-efficacy. Before taking this test, I would have thought I’d score highly here, but I guess not. I do have an innate sense that I can accomplish whatever I put my mind to, but I also understand that the rest of the world has a huge influence on your life whether you want it or not. The other weakness a potential employer might note is my score in adventurousness, which was a 29. Overall, I thought my scores boasted more strengths than weaknesses, and I enjoyed reviewing the results of the test.
