Usefull assessments

Today I want to analyze my GCI assessment and share with all of you...These kind of assessments helped me in recent times in crafting my resume with my strengths and be cocncious about area of weaknesses in chosing examples for Job interviews. 2010 being an year of assessments for me.

Coming to GCI I took as part of the class requirement, I tend to agree with most of the assessment results. I am rated overall Moderate on "Perception Management" with high on non-judgementalness and low on inquisitiveness.  I am also low on tolerance for ambiguity. I agree with these as I myself realized that I need to improve on the inquisitiveness, and tolerance for ambiguity. These two traits are very useful in going deep in to problem solving areas of any job.

In relatiuonship management, overall I scored low moderate, one surprise was I scored really low on social flexibilty, I do not entirely agree that I deserve low score as my social adaptibility is some where should be in the middle.  I also learned a good lesson in terms of being aware that my emotional sensitivity on low side as well. I would like to improve upon my empathy factor in dealing with situations, by actively listening and showing that I care about others feelings.

I scored moderate(high) overall in Self Management. My strengths are optimism, and non-stress tendency. I need to improve upon Self Confidence/Self identity aspects. I also feel that self confidence questions may be answered differently on a day when you are in positive spirits vs on a bad day.

Thanks to Professor Joyce for providing us with these tools and reflect upon via this blog. In my view Perception Mnagement is a key dimension I want to put focus to be more effective in my job.

I am happy that I am finishing my MBA with such a wonderful course and true leadership material.
