 Portfolio: Unit 4 Application Reflection

Interests:

1. What are your top 3 interest areas?

Social, Enterprising, Conventional

2. What Career Examples are shown in the "Interest" tab related to your strongest interest areas?  Do you have any interest in these careers?

The career examples shown to me were ones revolving around finance, marketing, and sales. I do have a lot of interest in these careers, since I hope to do something around finance in the future. As well as, I am a finance major so all of these interests definitely line up. 

Values:

3. What are your highest and lowest areas in your values results?  Do you agree with these results?

My highest areas in value are achievement, independence, and recognition. My lowest areas are in relationships, support, and working conditions. I would say I do agree with these results, since I am the type of person to really appreciate an environments where I can work by myself, and get recognized for that. 

Personality:

4.  What are your top 3 personality traits? 

Openness to experience, conscientiousness, and extraversion. 

5. How do you feel about your personality results?  Does this personality assessment accurately capture your sense of who you are?  If so, what traits about yourself match up with your experience of yourself?  If not, what aspects of yourself do not seem to align with your results? 

I would say this does accurately represents my personality to an extent, since I do feel like I do try to be very open to situations and experiences. Since I am a military kid, I feel like my upbringing is the reason why I tend to be so open since I had no other option but to be, since I was constantly in new situations. 

Workplace Preferences:

6. Given your workplace preferences, what type of job environment do you prefer?  Do you feel that your results on this assessment match up with your chosen major?  If you do not have a chosen major yet, what jobs might you consider based upon your results?  Are there other things influencing your career decisions that are not captured by this assessment?

Based of my results, I really appreciate performance in a job environment. And I think that for my future career, performance is something many people in that type of work appreciate. I do think my results match up with my chosen major, since I got a lot of finance related jobs and I am a finance major.

PORTFOLIO: Unit 2 Application Reflection

  Unit 2 Application Reflection After looking through the list, I would say that I am really good at creating schedules of my assignments in order to keep track of them, so I know when they are due or not. I also tend to look up a lot of words I do not understand, since my vocabulary could use some work. I do try to think about the main idea after I read things. In all honesty, after seeing this list showed me that I do not have the most healthy study habits. I personally feel like growing up, when it came to school it came so natural and easy to me I did not have to study. So after years of not having to study, I am a college student now and really struggling. I would say my best strength would be my schedule and organization since I am really good at planning, but I really need to work on my time management and focus ability. I tend to stay really busy, so I never consider the extra time I might need for certain things. But after these first couple weeks of my sophomore year of c...

How does Psychology Apply to My Life?

  What do you know or what have you been told about the field of psychology?                 My whole life I have always thought psychology was just the study of the way people                             think.   I also assumed that people who studied psychology just want to be therapists. But                        within this class, I know I will learn so much more. Do you expect that you'll utilize anything you learn in Introductory Psychology as part of your major/career goals?  Why or why not?                 Yes, I do think I will utilize the things I learn in Introductory Psychology, since I want to                     be a real estate...

PORTFOLIO: Unit 5 Application Reflection

PORTFOLIO: Unit 5 Application Reflection After being in psychology and learning the effects of how stress can really affect someone, I am starting to understand how it can weigh so heavy. I learned how stress can be a very big impact on a person's mental health, and how by having too much stress it can be easily be overwhelming and extremely negative both emotionally and physically. Some stressors that I am personally worried about for the end of the semester is really just school, and exams. I struggle with seasonal depression, since I am person who really bases their moods off the environment and their surroundings. So when it is cold like this, I find it harder to do tasks that were so simple for me before. I also always worry about my grades, since I really do want good grades but it is also hard to find the motivation this time of year. Some ideas I have in order to help myself are to make sure I try to plan ahead as much as possible, so I do not feel ...
