Recommended: Personal strengths and weaknesses list

Personal Analysis My personality is hard to describe. It all can depend on the situation, but overall my core values stay the same. In this paper I will describe my personal analysis, which will include a self-assessment score of maximizer and satisficer, time management profile, and empowering others. I will also describe what my terminal values and instrumental values are. Then I will go through what my big five personality characteristics are and my MBTI personality profile. I will then describe my job posting assessment and, finally, my personal job fit analysis. Hopefully, by the end of this I will be able to recognize my strengths, weaknesses and values and have the ability to match my values to the type of values job postings are looking for. Terminal Values The freedom my parents gave me growing up and the freedom this country gives me every day lets me grow into the person I am today. I would be a drastically different person if I hadn’t been able to make decisions on my own. I believe I would be a lot more rebellious if I didn’t have so much freedom growing up. My parents trusted me to make good decisions, and if I did make bad decisions they believed that I would learn from them. I think that helped me become my own person and learn to be happy with my decisions, good or poor. Now skipping to the bottom of my list, the number 17 on my list was “wisdom: a mature understanding of life”. This value is still important to me, but I just don’t feel like I need to know everything or know a lot about life. I believe that if I follow God, then I will have all the wisdom I need. I do think wisdom is important for our world to keep excelling but I don’t believe that the world needs to have a mature understanding of life. Understanding life comes with time and in the end with the beliefs I have, I understand that I will go on to eternal life so I shouldn’t be caught up in this temporary world. All that being said, I

    Everyone has their own personal values that the gain throughout their lives. Some of these values are passed down through the different generations of their family. Values can change over time and some people learn more values as they grow up. I personally have gained a range of different values in the past eighteen years of my life.

When I was really young I had to respect other people’s things and their feelings. Through my parents I was brought up to believe that it is always better to be honest and tell the truth about everything. I feel that

  • Personal Values In The Human Services Industry

    I value equality above all, I believe that everyone is entitled to the same benefits, opportunities and treatment. I believe this value has come from being raised in a single parent family and witnessing first had some of the struggles my mother had in raising us and getting access to services. I can only begin to imagine how difficult things must be for families from lower socio-economic backgrounds and for people in isolated communities and nations. Coming from such a tightknit family, love is my second core value. When referring to love, I mean not only mature love with a partner, but love for family, friends and the entire human race. Respect is another of my core values, McAuliffe (2014, p.3) suggests that respect encompasses a variety of aspects such as treating someone well, allowing them to have autonomy, taking note of things affecting them, and acknowledging that they may hold different views to our own. This I something that I have learned mostly from my father who has demonstrated that every person is deserving of respect, he opened my eyes to so much more of the world and allowed me to realise that it is ok for people to have different views and that that does not make them any less of a person. I also place great value on being selfless, not completely selfless as we need to care for ourselves, but a significant amount of selflessness and caring for others. This is a value that I have seen in many members of my family, again, mostly from my father and the time and effort he has put into helping not only me, but friends, family, colleagues, and people he barely knows. Closely linked with selflessness, my final core value is compassion. My father not only showed selflessness with a range of people, but also compassion. Whitebrook suggests “compassion not only requires emotional engagement with someone who is vulnerable but also acting on that emotion” (as cited

  • Personal Personality Essay

    1831 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the day to day life, experiences and connections are made. Many things that occur in one’s life can all stem from their individual personality, but interpreting how one’s personality guides their life presents a difficult challenge. Many actions, quirks, and patterns that a person has are easily noted due to the ability to see it, but the puppeteer behind these habits is an individual’s personality. A certain personality type can affect the perception of certain events and the reactions/feelings to certain outcomes. While one person might see a situation as dreadful, another may see it entirely different. We tend to find ourselves side by side with people we see similarities between due to a parallel in certain traits, but no two individuals are exactly the same based on differences in personality. Success is hinged on many things and one of those things is the development of self-awareness. To know oneself is key to tackling on intimidating tasks and situations, but to also grow in terms of knowledge and synergy. In my attempt to

    I valued friendship growing up, because I never had any friends. Since it was “cool” to make fun of me, it was social suicide to be seen casually talking to me. No matter where I moved or what new school I went to, the kids would immediately jump into teasing me. Eventually, I learned I have to love myself and my worth. Everyone may not like me or respect me, but as long as I love and respect myself life would go on. Although, I was the constant topic of ridicule, I never let it affect my school work. My education was very significant to me, because I knew I would make a big impact on the world if I obtained a good education. My family was another important value to me, because nobody was as encouraging and supportive of me as my family. The most important lesson I learned over the years was that I shouldn’t let anybody have control of my life, except for
