Abstract
I currently work for an aerospace company as a business unit manager. My daily tasks consist of scheduling the business to meet customer deliveries, ensuring production is on target, and measuring the performance of the business through production, quality and financial metrics. My organization consists of six salaried supervisors and one hundred fifty-two hourly associates.
Am I Introverted or Extraverted?
1. The purpose is to help me understand the extent of whether I am extroverted or introverted.
2. My actual score for the assessment was eighteen.
3. My score indicated that I was moderately introverted. This means that I tend to keep to myself and feel comfortable being alone. Although I scored an eighteen I was on the edge of being in between the two categories.
4. The result of the assessment has given me the understanding of where I tend to draw my energy from, being introverted I tend to draw energy from my experiences and myself. The biggest factor, for me, in understanding whether I am extroverted or introverted is to have the ability to make adjustment to enable me to become a better leader. I see that I need to be engage more sociably to ensure that I do not project a standoffish attitude toward others. Since my score was an eighteen, I do show some social traits but tend to prefer to be and work alone. This can give others the impression that I am unapproachable and therefore would not lend itself to being a good leader that projects that they are open to all discussions whether it would be positive or negative. I can develop a plan to become more open and engage with others. I have already started this process as I have developed a daily walk around the shop floor engaging others during my walk. This process has given me the opportunity to understand others
