Recommended: Difficulties in defining intelligence

Many people never realize what kind of intelligence that have until they actually sit down and focus on test about it. Before I even took the assessments I thought I was less than average, but turns out I really am an average student. I know I have many weaknesses, probably more than I do strengths. A few weaknesses that I have includes; preparation, attendance, and curiosity. I find curiosity a weakness because at times I am curious of what I’m learning about but I never show it because I’m too shy to ask questions or speak aloud. Several strengths I have would be breaking larger problems into smaller problems, applying old knowledge too new, and I’m persistent and careful at seeking into solutions. I was actually surprised to find out that
I know that because I’ve done that for the longest when I was in the 10th grade all the way to 12th grade. With me becoming stressing I found a way to improve myself during that time, now I need to do that once again going through college. I am already stressed and I wasn’t too happy with the results I received on the assessments and I know for a fact I can do 100% better. I want to become an A average and try my hardest to get out of the C Average. It wouldn’t bother me too much if I stay in the B average, but I would still like to try to get out of it as hard as I can. With the new way my job works, we had to take a self-assessment test for our LPN’s at work to see if we would be good at our job. With the one’s whose assessment didn’t turn out so good they had to have a meeting with someone from Americare and get a packet of tips on how to improve themselves. I’m actually glad I actually had to do a self-assessment so I could notice how I really am, and what kind of student and person I am. This essay made me realize, I absolutely need to put my head in the books, and expand my knowledge the best I

Although, occasionally, I would be able to skip a few classes and get the notes from a classmate or of course, resort to guessing. However, now that I am in college, the lectures require much more attentiveness and are more complex: composing more information, meaning that one has to proportion time more responsibly and take an advantage of good study habits. My learning skills have made a complete transformation since I have been in college. I learned new things and I actually enjoy learning new things. Nevertheless, these changes required a lot of self control and practice. Going through these experiences have changed my entire persona about learning such as study habits, being more attentive during classes, and going through greater extents to succeed in certain classes.

My need to be a perfectionist sometimes gets the best of me; I strive for excess in all areas of my life. I think it is of the most importance to understand your strengths and weakness.

  • My Academic Strengths And Academic Weaknesses

    1046 Words  | 3 Pages

    When it comes to my schoolwork, I tend to be extremely conscientious, diligent, and ambitious. A few of my academic strengths are my organizational skills and ability to think critically. A weakness that I have is test taking; while taking tests I become nervous, and forget the information. I become upset with myself if I earn a C on a test or in a class. Then I consider what I could have done differently to receive a higher grade and apply it to future assignments. I react this way when it comes to my studies, because my dad used to get upset with us if we received anything below a B in specific subjects. For example, if we got a C in math my dad would say, “You don’t know how to count? I guess I will stop giving you money since you cannot count it.” He would also reward us for being able to count and getting good grades. When I was a little girl, he used to put out money and give us 30 seconds to count it, if we counted
