The point of this self-assessment is to show what is my personality traits are in personal and professional life. It gives me a chance to self-analyze to see what every word means and how it applied to my past and present life. I had a better understanding of who I am in those areas when I am able to connect the “dots” in my life with those meaning to situations I have faced. Deliberative came at the top of five choices, I was surprised to see it. I never knew what it means. I see how heavily it applies to my life. When I saw this term “They are the of people that sense risk first.” (Schubring L, 2013). I felt that it applied to who I am for whole of my life. I would be able to sense risk before it happens. Most of the time, I was right when I sensed it. Often people would think I am going against their own thoughts or actions when I question their intention of doing things. It gives me an opportunity to see another point of view to understand if it is a correct decision. I always have been an analytical person. I analyze everything and understand why people do certain things. Deliberative is a good thing to have for my future professional career, I want to be a software engineer. This would help me to analyze every detail, figure its risks, the ability to plan it ahead, see things from other point of views, and be able to make sure it is a correct decision, not “want”. 2 Focus came at my second of top five, this did not surprise me. When things come to interest, I focus on it completely. When there is nothing for me to benefit from, I cannot focus on if there are no goals or any proofs in the general. My daily life is all about to establish the goal, even if it is minor things like wash the dishes by end of the day. It would help me a lot with my future career, the ability to focus on an item completely would help me to finish the tasks or goals. When it comes to teamwork, focus as trait would help a lot in teamwork. It would help me to keep everyone focus on the task, instead get off the point and get lost. My third strength is Restorative focus on solves problems. “Whereas some are dismayed when they encounter yet another breakdown, you can be energized by it.” (Gallup 2021) I always jumped in to help solve the problems immediately if they are familiar to bring some self-esteem about myself that I know something and able to help others. As if I don’t help, they wouldn’t be able to success without my help. For some people would find it as ego, but it is not my intention. It always has been more energy and spirit fulling if I help others to have better path for themselves. I enjoy challenges too; it helps me to focus and really invest my time to figure out “answer” instead having an easy route. It is less thrilling for me. “People with the strength of Restorative are energized to both fix things and improve thing.” (Schubring B, 2014) As a future software engineer, this restorative strength would help dramatically with my coding. It requires a lot focus and solve the problems skill. No one else can solve it for me because it will be written by me, my own program. I have to solve it somehow to make it work and deliver the project. My fourth strength is Analytical, when I see that term. It made me think of Deliberative, how they can be connected so strong. I am an analytical person; I like the facts. I will analyze the reasoning behind of every actions or answers to understand more deeply like the “root” to see if they make sense. Often, people would take it as an insult when I call their political statements
