Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. Who am I? is question that many often struggle to answer, but for me it allows me to differentiate from my constituents and express who I really am. What makes me such a unique individual is my ability to identify with 5 strong strengths. I love the fact that I am futuristic and I have the ability to relate, I am responsible, I am a developer and last but not least I am disciplined. Each one these themes shape and generate my personality. Born on February 22nd 2000 I am the only daughter to Rob and Theresa Jones. When I’m not roaming the illustrious campus of State University, I enjoy shopping I personally feel retail therapy is the best therapy! I love spending time with my family they understand me when know one else does, traveling to tropical islands, cooking, going to church and pampering my toy poodle Chanel Briana. When we are born, most of us are given a suitcase full of standards, acceptable behavior, things to learn, values & a whole load of do’s and don’ts. As we grow and progress in life we keep adding or throwing away some contents of this suitcase. Each of us thus becomes a product of the choices we have made or that we have consciously decided not to make. Since childhood, we have our dreams and we want to make them a reality. Part of these dreams is about what we become and that results in the career we choose. My ultimate passion in life is to impact the lives of many in the healthcare field this also lead my decision in choosing public health as a career choice. By thinking ahead for the future it brings out my futuristic strength. By nature, I channel my mental and physical energies to...

...iod when it comes to paying bills, arriving on time to work or simply having open communication with someone those are all characteristics of responsibility. One distinguishing personality trait that makes me exceptional is outgoing personality. This is paired with my developer strength and my inability to connect with people. I have the capability to see the potential in others. In my circle of friends I have became the confidant and the one the call for advice, this also balances my developer trait because others seek me out for help and encouragement given on some level they know that my helpfulness is both genuine and fulfilling. I’m compassionate about the success of my family and friends and the ones that truly care for me. Having a positive attitude and spreading a big smile is an act of kindness that I try to exhibit through the daily roles I play in life.

    Overall, the INTJ type is an accurate description of my personality. I concur with the assessments that INTJ’s do not “take criticism personally” and they are not “afraid of hard work, and will put forth a great deal of effort towards something that they are interested in” (INTJ Personal Growth, 2014). I am confident in my own abilities and take no offense at work if others are able to show me a better/easier way of performing a task (as long I am approached professionally). Additionally, I am usually whole-heartedly committed toward efforts when I see the importance or benefit from such actions. For example, if I need to put in a few 15-16 hours days to ensure the job is done on-time and correctly I will do so without much thought. My temperament of “NT” also known as the “Rationals” is consistent with what I see in myself (The Four Temperaments, 2014). As stated in the Thinking section however, I do have a tendency to show empathy towards others when faced with an emotional

  • Essay On IB Traits

    The trait I believe I reflect most is caring. I am always available when my friends, or even strangers, need help. I hope that I am a good person for someone to talk to as I am open-minded enough to never judge someone for their misfortunes or wrong doings. This brings me to the other trait I relate to most, which is open-minded. I believe that I am able to understand most people’s point of view in situations even if they seem to be in the wrong. Two other traits I relate to very much, however not as much as the aforementioned traits, are knowledgeable and risk-taker. I am knowledgeable not only in the sense that I am intelligent but also that I am on a journey of seeking higher knowledge and the secrets the world has to offer me. Knowledgeable can help me in my area of risk-taking by allowing me to not take risks that will produce a dangerous outcome. I am a risk-taker in my personal life more than my educational one because I find joy in new experiences and enjoy being adventurous and taking risks. The traits that I particularly relate to are balanced, a thinker, and reflective. I view myself as a thinker due to the immense amount of time I spend pondering the spiritual aspect of life. Although I would possibly describe myself as a thinker, I would have a harder time describing myself as reflective because I prefer to live in the now and not reflect back onto my sad past. Balanced is a trait that I see in myself but I also me failing at being balanced always. I tend to balance time between friends poorly, however not by intention. Also, I need to work on balancing my time spent on projects and assignments in school. The traits on the list I relate to the least are principled, inquirer, and communicator. Although I am principled, I find myself being more open to ideas and possibilities, that some people believe are wrong. I am not as stubborn as many principled people are, my opinion is

    One of my greatest skills is being able to be compassionate towards others. By placing myself into someone else’s shoes, I find myself being able to better understand where other people are coming from. I am an extremely caring person that will go to great lengths for anyone. I can easily overlook the differences in other people, and this is what helps me get along with almost anyone that I come across. In order to lead people in a positive direction you need to be able to relate to them on a more personal level. It is much easier when people feel comfortable around their leader. I always like to lend a helping hand or even a shoulder to cry on when it is needed. My strengths include integrity, optimism, faith, innovation, and adaptability. These strengths are important to have in leadership positions. Leaders should have a firm hold on their beliefs and morals in order to have a positive impact on people.

  • The Life Review Process

    The Life Review Process Although personality is largely talked about in terms of traits, a person’s personality has a special component that only becomes prominent as a person ages. Personality is a complex field of study that has produced many popular theories such as Cattell’s work with “The Big Five”, among other theories proposed by Freud, Erikson, Allport, Jung, and many others (Ryckman, 2012). Personality can be divided into three different “levels”: traits, personal concerns such as goals and wishes, and the final being the life narrative, which is concerned with a person’s “essence”, what makes them who they are, and answers the “who am I?” question (Cavanaugh & Blanchard-Fields, 2015).

    At one point in life, at a young age or as a resident in an elderly home, the question of who am I will arise. It is a convoluted mesh of thoughts and feelings that a person will go through before coming up with an answer. Some people may even experience cognitive dissonance in trying to explain different stages of life, while others will be comfortable in responding instantaneously with minimal cognition. In going through this process and drawing up the ‘who am I’ and individual is further confronted with others people’s perception. Where does this lead, when presented with other’s opinion, and what is it based it on? Response from outside sources is mainly based on perspective concerning an individual’s personality.
