Self-Analysis
PSY/285
As we look around us we notice that we are different. The differences can be small, such as in twin siblings, or they can be big, such as in neighbors. The size and shape of our bodies, the color of our skin, or even how we fix our hair are physical differences that can be seen on the outside. However, what about the differences we cannot see? Some people are born to be leaders. We all have different beliefs. Every person’s attitude differs on what they perceive. These differences are what make us more unique than our physical characteristics. So what are you? I am strong-minded, independent, and most of all a leader. In our day-to-day lives we always have outside sources trying to manipulate our thoughts. If one does not have a strong mind, they will not have their own beliefs. I try to not allow others to make-up my mind for me. I use facts and my own opinions to come to a logical conclusion. This falls in line with being independent. Even though most of my social interaction throughout life have been in a group setting, from playing organized sports to being in the military, not allowing myself be overcome with group thought (mob mentality) has been a strong point in my life. Being independent has its ups and downs make me different from others. This is where the use of my leadership skills plays to my favor. As a leader, I can make others see my point of view. In most cases, others want to know my opinion and/or thoughts on a particular question. This is who I am. Now at this point I must circle back to being independent. Being an independent thinker differs from not needing the help or support of others. While I was only one person among the groups I was involved in, I required the support of others so we could be successful. This would make me interdependent. This is even so today in my life with my family. I am interdependent on my family because they are the motivation for everything
