Personal Thinking Styles
In analyzing the results of my LSI styles profile, I found that my primary personal thinking style, shown in the circumplex, is Self-Actualizing (93%), which is one of the Constructive styles. This assessment further shows that my backup personal thinking style is tide with two categories, Conventional (75%) and Dependent (75%), which they both fall under the Passive/Defensive Styles. These styles fully describe what I am in personal life and in my professional life. I am concerned about personal development. That is probably the number one factor in my decision in coming back to school to finish up my degree. I had been waiting for the right moment, financially, to come and finish my Bachelor’s Degree. I am currently in my Master’s program. Because of my strong instincts and intuition, I have been able to lead my family to highest values that a person can practice in life. I am a strong believer in forgiving and letting go of the past mistakes of life. I am energetic and love life. I don’t like to hear about things and not experiment or have the experience myself. I work better under pressure and get things done with precision, but, due to adverse and difficult circumstances with upper management, I have taken the Dependent and Conventional Styles, as a precaution for the troubled moments that my organization is going through. I have also noticed that people around me tend to look up for my opinion, for what I think of things. This not only gives me a good sense of internal satisfaction, but, it also humbles me and makes me learn more about things, so that I can answer questions, know how to fix things. These, I practice at work and in my personal life. It has gotten me in trouble sometimes and put it behind me as soon as possible, but I keep on striving for self-motivation,
