I believe that this was an eye-opening survey. The idea of this questionnaire is to measure my disposition and traits for global leadership across different cultures. A lot of the results were as expected, but two of the results seem to stand out most: stress management and cosmopolitanism.
For the most part, I knew that I had some issues with stress management. I procrastinate. I worry a lot about how people portray me. I want to perfect things in a small limited amount of time. When all the necessities add up, I end up panicking and become flustered. So even though I was surprised of this result, I realize that the survey gave an accurate portrayal of my stress management. (Scored a 0!) Fortunately, Joyce says that this feature are one of the easiest things to actively change. Let's hope this is right.
The second surprise to me was my result on cosmopolitanism: my interest in and curisoity of foreign countries. I always that I was one to enjoy trying new foods, meeting new people, having the desire to travel and see new sights. However, based on the results, I scored low because I am not up to date with my current world and international events. This is very true. Whenever I browse the internet, I tend to avoid reading the news or any current events, even related to the US. Knowing this flaw, I definitely will try to improve myself in this area.
In general, the GCI was a very interesting survey to take. It widen my understanding about myself, especially the weaknesses that I need to work on. Hopefully this will be able to help me in my career settings in the future. Thanks for offering this resourceful tool, Joyce!
