We had pretty interesting leadership/management diagnostic in our class. It classifies us into 4 categories which is "Dominance", "Influence", "Steadiness", and "Conscientiousness". I end up with "Cs" type of manager. C is a manager who emphasize the working conscientiously within existing circumstances to ansure quality and accuracy.
When I read the particular detail of "Conscientiousness", I did not feel this is the best description of myself. After I read descriptions for each 4 style, I thought the word "Conscientiousness" is the best word to describe me.
I think this represent my class participation directly. I'm always trying to listen other opinions first, then I start to consider in my mind because actually my English skill is not good so I just want to make things clear to me. However, even I understand about the topic, I do not start to talk because I think that I'm afraid of making a mistake or afraid "if other classmates did not understand what I'm saying because of my English skill. I think this is because of not only my personality, but also how I grew up when I was a child. I understand that professor or classmates would not blame me even I made a mistake. However, I try to check the accuracy again and again in my mind. Finally, the topic goes to next before I confident to speak.
This often happen to me and I know I should speak more. But the things is not so simple to me.
Therefore, I think the result of this psychological test is right and useful to determine people's management "type" to better understand where they are coming from and how to interact with them.
