Self-Awareness Assessment
1.
What
do you notice about your results?
After
taking the pre Self-Awareness Assessment, I realized that I have a
well-developed set of personal standards and beliefs that guide my behavior.
However, because I am constantly trying to improve myself, both personally and
professionally, I have a tendency to seek feedback from others. I have learned
that through self-disclosure, I can learn more about myself and how I receive
and process information. But, for the most part, I am capable of demonstrating
emotional intelligence; I have the ability to display emotional maturity.
Emotional

Emotional
Awareness: the result of this assessment indicates that I am capable of
understanding my inner emotions; I am capable of evaluating why I make certain decisions.
·
Emotional
Control: the result of this assessment indicates that I prefer to confront an
issue rather than avoid it. However, it also indicates that I am skillfully
honest, in that I try to avoid being harsh to others.
·
Emotional

emotional issues of others; but, that I sometimes lack the ability to acknowledge
different emotional commitments.
·
Emotional
Response: the result of this assessment indicates that I have emotional
control, but also imply that I sometimes loose emotional control during
stressful situations.
The
Defining Issues Test
The
result of this assessment indicates that I evaluate each issue from an ethical
standpoint.
Cognitive
Style Indicator – determines the way in which you gather, evaluate and act on
information.
For all three styles: Knowing, Planning
and Creating, my scores were as follows:
Knowing = 5
Planning = 4.85
Creating = 4
Based
on the above listed scores, I scored above the average mean in knowing and
planning among young managers, but scores below the average mean in creating. I scored above the average mean in planning
amount young mangers and MBA students, but scored below the average mean in
knowing and creating.
Locus of Control Scale
In this assessment I scored 6, which is
higher that then overall mean average of 5.19.
Tolerance
of Ambiguity Scale – refers to
the extent in which an individual feels threatened by the lack of information received
with situations that are ambiguous, incomplete, unstructured, or dynamic in any
way.
In this
assessment, I received the following scores for each of the following categories:
Novelty =
27
Complexity
= 51
Insolubility
= 14
The result
of this assessment indicates that my total score 92, was far above the average
mean of 56.47; which means that I feel really threatened by the lack of
information.
Core
Self-Evaluation Scale – the attitudes, emotions and though patterns that make
each individual unique.
The result
of this assessment indicates that my score of 3.16 was significantly lower than
the average mean 3.88.
2. How much of this rang true for
you?
For the
most part, I feel that the results of each assessment were accurate, except for
that of the Cognitive Style Indicator. I was shocked that I received a low
score in creativity because I love to create and design new things.
3. What did you see that you were
expecting in the results?
I found
results of the Emotional Intelligence Assessment to be completely accurate, I try
to be non-confrontational but prefer to immediately address issues as they
arise.
4. What were the surprises?
Well, I felt that my
score for the Core Self-Evaluation was not completely accurate. Why, because some
of the questions being asked could only be applied during specific instances.
For example: Question 8. I am filled with doubts about my competence. In some
cases this can be true, but not in all cases. I feel that my competence can
sometimes determined by others; meaning that I formulate my thoughts and beliefs
on the opinions of others. Thus, it can be difficult to truly evaluate my true
competence because everyone sees and understands things differently. What may
be true to one person may not be true to the other.
5.
How will you make use of
this information?
I can use this information to asses why I think the way I do
and how my thoughts effect my actions. By evaluating my thoughts, values, beliefs,
and emotions, I can learn how to adapt in different situations both good and
bad.
