SKILL AND EATING CHEERIOES WITH A KNIFE!




Skill is the knowledge of and the ability to properly and quickly execute the fundamentals.
We all have skills.
According to the Myers- Briggs Personality Survey we are extraverts and introverts, intuitive and  sensate, feeling and thinking ,perceiving and  judging. All these traits are  found in leaders.

1. Give your personality type.
2. Describe a future career and the  skills  you posses to excel in this career.
3. Describe a task you  may have to perform even though you do not consider yourself having all the skills required for that task. ( Remember, sometimes we may have to "eat Cheerios with a knife!)

    1) ESFP
    2) In my career i want to be a computer science person, one who thinks of the ideas to build and make the software for them to add on to the device. Im the one who comes up with the idea and makes it. Play both roles. And i would be good at that cause im social able and open to everyone , and the one that goes to logic and facts and also interested in possibilities.
    3) well i do not have the skill to actually build such devices cause im not a mechanic or anything but ill use the skill i have to put pieces that fit together to make what and fit whatever works.

    1: My personality type is ISTJ (Introverted: 31%, Observant: 3%, Thinking: 30%, Judging: 20%, Turbulent: 12%).
    2: I want to be a Businessman( don't know what type yet), and I have a lot of math skills that will be useful for me in this career
    3: A task that I might have to perform is learning how to be more verbal, since this career takes a lot of verbal skills, i'm going to have to be more confident in myself and be more social, so that I can excel in this type of career.

    My personality type is ISFP
    a future career of teaching is good for my personality. I am one to think on the potential side, which is beneficial for a student cause I can help him/her reach his or her potential.
    One thing that I had to do with out the skills required is a In class essay for one of my English classes. in the end I was still able to achieve a 90 on that essay without the skills, so maybe if I was prepared I would have done better.

    3. A task that i have to perform but do not consider myself having all the skill required is being a salesperson. I can be introvert and prefer to be independent. Even though i do not have those skills, i use my skill to remember facts to try to convince a customer to buy.

    My personality type consists of the following: extrovert, sensate, thinker, and judger. The career I plan to take on is being a Forensic Psychologist. A very important skill I possess that will be very useful to have in this line of work is the ability to analyze certain situations. As I am thinking about what could have gone through the mind of whoever committed the murder, I will think of their possible motives and retrace the steps of that person in order to get closer to catching the culprit. For this to be possible, one must know and be skillful at analyzing situations that aren’t easy for everyone to process in their minds. A task that I have to perform but I do not require all the skills in order to complete the task extremely well is the SAT. I am not personally skilled at taking standardized tests because I over-analyze questions which cause me not to be able to finish all the questions in the limited time provided. For this reason, I am obligated to take the SATs in order for colleges to look at my application although I am not particularly skilled in standardized tests. Although I am not skilled in this field, I am skilled at analyzing things very well, although it may take a while, and this opens up my field of opportunities such as in the field of work I am planning to go into, Forensic Psychology. Although I am not skilled enough to eat the Cheerios with the spoon, I am skilled in cutting the bread with a knife.

  6. My personality type is ESTJ which makes my role sentinel. It says I am one of the Sentinels - a reliable and dedicated individual who respects traditions and prizes responsibility. You are known for your social skills, strong will and administrative abilities. I am satisfied with these results because I pursue a career in business management and entrepreneurship and with a personality trait such as this, I feel as though I have the potential to be successful. Although this personality test claims I have administrative skills, I feel as though I require a little more skills to achieve the career that I'm pursuing. I want to really be a successful leader but I lack certain traits such as punctuality, seriousness, and others factors that are very essential for achieving this goal. We may have to eat Cheerios with a knife or sliced bread with a spoon. Although it is hard, we have to adjust to the difficulty of doing so. However with determination and dedication, it can be done.

    My personality type is INFP
    Introvert
    Intuitive
    Feeler
    Prospecting

    A future career I can get into is becoming a music artist. I excel in composition and using music as an outlet, I can be related to on a very personal level. I can release emotion and get the very same emotion from people who listen to my music. INFPs were not born to have a normal life. INFPs have a very rosy way of looking at the world, and their perspective is very unique which is why a career in music would be the best option for me.
    A task I may have to perform though Ido not necessarily have the skills for is giving people directions, I honestly have a very terrible sense of direction. I get lost very easily

    Strength of individual traits: Introverted: 59%, Intuitive: 37%, Feeling: 16%, Prospecting: 10%, Turbulent: 22%.
    A future career I would excel in would be accounting. Accountants spend most of their time behind a computer and have limited interactions with other workers. This job would be perfect for me because I believe myself to be highly skilled in math, I find numbers to be very fascinating and this job will allow me to move at my own pace.
    Playing running back on a football field is not an easy task. A person needs vision, speed, size and so much more to be considered an elite player. The game has gone into overtime and the team needs the running back to rush for the game winning touchdown. Although the running back lacks speed and size, he makes up for those things with heart. He rushes the ball and is able to score the touchdown winning the game. No matter what situation a person is put in, there is always a way to get through it. Giving up because you do not have the required skill is unacceptable.

  9. ENFP one of the jobs for my traits/personality is a computer Programmer i feel this doesn't fit me at all. I feel like its a hard job having to know a lot with computers and how they work. Even i feel its not my strong set but because how the era i live in i can become computer savvy with time. Just like eating cheerios with a knife it might take me longer but i can get the job done.

  10. My personality type was INTJ. The future careers that I am to pursue are to become a scientific researcher, an activist for educational reform, and an activist for disadvantaged people. The skills I posses to fulfill my aspirations are: I write well, I am eloquent in my speech, and my demeanor is calm and militaristic. A task I may need to perform in the field of Biology is writing out complex equations, that I plug inputs in to get an output. The manipulation of data points is easy but writing out equations will be a difficult task for me. I am very outspoken in a soft spoken manner. To be an activist, I am going to need to study the greatest speakers in History and analyze their speeches, so that I may utilize their tactics.

  11. 1) ESTJ
    2) One of the jobs listed that most best fits my personality type is a business administrator, or some sort of financial officer. I feel as with the person I am, both jobs completely fits me. I have the ability to keep order within chaos, and I'm very loyal so I can work well either being a leader while keeping order and maintaining peace or I can work under people, maybe as a manger of some sort. I feel as there are many careers that I approve of. I am more of a "mile wide and inch deep," type of person rather than an "inch wide and mile deep." I'm open-minded to any career as long as it pleases me, and it is something that is within my interest.
    3) Something I might have to learn and adjust to is becoming less stubborn, and valuing other people's thoughts and opinions. I can handle any task at hand because I feel like I can I maintain myself and succeed by using certain skills I already possess by adapting to whatever task that is outside of my comfort zone.

    2)a job that was listed was a professional athlete. It was this because estj are people who look for competitve situations. we are people who rather be in a less secure and fun job than a safer one.
    3) i cannot see myself just yet having the skills to be a mathmatican. i do not have a math brain and numbers are harder for me

  14. 1) ENTJ
    2) I would like to work in some field of business that would express my creative ideas on a higher platform. Even though I have a passion for athletics, I know that that is not the only ability that I possess within myself because my extraversion, sensate, thinking, and judging is useful in multiple ways.
    3) A task that I may have to perform is being in a lower position in a job because I like to be my OWN boss, because that just means I would have to adjust even if I don't have all the skills.

    ESTJ:
    Extravert, Sensate, Thinkers, Judgers.

    In the future i would love to be a professional baseball player and that's something i am planning to do for a life time as a career. The skills I have within ESTJ will help me excel in this career because i go with my insticts, i'm outgoing, and im willing to take chances. A difficult task that i will have to perform is being able to work for someone demanding and over controlling.

    2. One of the jobs listed is business and accounting because it requires a lot of thinking. My favorite subject is math,so it actually helps me in this field because i want to do accounting.
    3. something that I'm missing in this field is being patient because in math or accounting your brain have to be relax to be able to solve problems. So you don't mix any emotions or mess up in a problem you facing and misjudge something.
