Reflection of MQM 221
|
The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on myself, my personality, personal strengths and weaknesses, along with team formation, dynamics and my ability to effectively interact with members of my team. First, I will discuss what I have learned about myself after the exercises and self-assessment I have participated in. Second, I will reflect on my team and the different issues we have. Lastly, I will address the most important insights I learned about myself from the assessments. Complete citations of all support materials are available in the reference at the conclusion of the assignment.
The one assessment I learned about myself the most would have to be the one about stress. I have learned that when asked if I have a lot of stress and answer no, this is false. I am an individual who loves to help out but doesn’t realize when I have taken on too much. When having to list the various clubs and services I am on I didn’t realize how I made it through the week. With the amount I have taken on along with other uncontrollable stressors I have a mid-level scoring from the “How Stressed Are You?” assessment. The scoring says I have a 50% chance of developing a stressed related illness. While I did not realize the amount of stress I carry I now understand why I have been sick more often this year along with my sleeping getting worse.
Because of this assessment I decided to look into the type of personality I have. According to chapter 7 from the book I have more of a type A personality. Type A personality is more of a high speed individual who is impatient and can be very competitive. In various studies it shows that hostile and hyper-reactive is a major concern in terms of stress. Even though I am very active and eat well I tend to take on to much which can be considered a weakness which is a part of my personality and is dangerous to my stress level.
When first forming our group many of us did not know one another. Like in discussed
