Task 2


            MY PERSONALITY

Harmony-seeking Idealist:-
Yes, I agree that I am a "Harmony-seeking Idealist". Being forceful,  original and sensitive are the terms which can describe me well. When I decide that I need to do something, I stick to it until it is done. I do not like keeping things incomplete. I try to complete it in a proper way and proper time as well. Well, Yes I am very concerned about other's feelings, they matter a lot to me. I do understand other's feelings too. I even strictly follow the well-developed value systems. If I believe in something, then I do put all my faith in it. Though at times my decisions may not be right, but I am well respected when I do the right thing. I strongly agree that I do not like leading anyone and at the same time I do not like following anyone too. I am rather an individualistic type of person who likes do her things on her own. 
Careers that could fit me includes:
I was quite shocked to what I saw because it was totally different from what I am aim for. As I am studying IT, my aim is to become an IT professionalist. But the results were totally different that included missionaries, teachers, psychologists, musicians, writers or scientists. Doctors and chiropractors  surprised me the most as it is not my type. I never thought of me being in a medical line. As I am studying IT, I would rather like to have a career in it. 



The bar meter says that I am an introvert rather than extrovert. Yes, I agree to this because I feel shy and get nervous when it comes to talking with a stranger. I am a reserved kind of person but once I get comfortable with someone, I become an easy going and fun loving kind of person.



It shows that I am an intuitive. Yes, I agree because at times I go with my intuitions. I feel that things are based on facts and not on principles, so I use my intuitions to come up with a particular decision.



The bar meter is totally correct as when it comes to making up a decision I usually use my heart. My head and my heart are totally opposite to each other so rather than getting confused, at times I use my heart even when I have to make a tough decision.



The bar meter says that I am judgmental as well as well as perceiving. Well, both are equally important in my point of view so I agree with the bar meter. But first I like to perceive things and then judge so that I make a right decision.
Renowned persons with similar personality types:

Some of the people who resembles with my personality are Adam Sandler,Gillian Anderson,Jamie Foxx, Martin van Buren, Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Oprah Winfrey and Tom Selleck.


This personality test gave me a clear picture of what I am. Some of the things are very accurate and I was quite shocked to see some results. The bar meter represented the true things that more priority is given to my heart. More introvert than extrovert, and I generally go with my intuitions. The result which was quite not suitable was the career that I could fit in i.e., writers, musician, scentists. These are and will never be my cup of tea. This test helped me in knowing myself in a much better and different way. 

Developing abilities

Work as a development team member, recognising the different roles within a team and different ways of organising teams.

Being a Computing student, the ability of being a good team member is very important. As different presentations are assigned to us, I would like to improve myself, know my roles and perform the best. If something goes wrong, it will not only affect the member, but it will be a problem for the whole group. Recognising my role and then implementing it will show that how capable I actually am. I should be able to organise my respective team so that there is better coordination between the group. 

Manage own learning and personal development, including using time management and organisational skills, with a focus on lifelong learning and professional development.

In today's world, being independent is very essential. Being independent does not mean that I have to stand alone, it means that I need to be responsible for my own learning. I surely lack the ability of time management. It is very necessary to learn how to manage time. Developing organisational skills and having a focus on better learning will lead to a better future. Change in attitude towards professional life will not only increase my abilities, but will also help me to focus towards the goal of the organisation as well as goal of my life.
