1) I believe I am excellent at analyzing and reading people which helps when in conversations with friends or family and I can understand them without hearing them.
2) I am a very analytical and logical person. I like to look at the statistics of a situation more than go with my gut or my heart. This often results in selecting the most beneficial option all around.
3) I believe I am a very hard worker when I put my mind to something. If I believe I want something I will move heaven and earth to go get that something and few obstacles could stop me.
4) I know how to separate topics and opportunities. I am very able to compartmentalize various topics and conversations as to not get them mixed up or twisted. This proves very useful when dealing with multiple topics at once.
5) I am very open minded. Growing up outside the United States I have encountered various types of people and situations which has led me to have a very open mind when encountering new situations.
2)
1) Guillermo
I found very comforting how he talked about my openness when approaching problems. I feel like this is one of my main strong skills. It has proven to be beneficial throughout my life when approaching situations.
2) Dino
I found it very interesting how he talked about my relentlessness. I have never particularly thought of myself as a particularly relentless person. But after giving it some careful thought I can see why he said it, and I have to agree.
3) Paloma
I really like how she included that I'm a good listener, even when teenagers and young adults are not really known for having this trait. I also liked how she went one step further to include how I am able to identify what a person needs before they know it.
4) Thomas
One of the traits my friends Thomas classified me as was open minded and having a good attitude. I liked that because that is one of my favorite traits about about myself. I like that I have a very open mind and I am able interact with different people and learn about situation.
5) Pedro
I really like how he highlighted my passion for sports. I have always grown up with a love of sports and it has made me who I am. I am happy sports has made me and everything that comes with it, the discipline, the health benefits.
3) All in all, I feel like me and my peers have the same outlook and analysis. One difference I was able to pick out between me and my peers was how they talked about my encounters with problems and situations. Even though I wouldn't considered it to be my strongest skills I agree that it is a big part of my skills arsenal. Therefore I would add it to my list for question number 1.
Hey Manuel,
ReplyDeleteI am an absolute pro at reading people. I guess I got this trait from my mother because she is excellent at doing this. I am also very analytical. I like to analyze everything before and after I do something. I always put my best effort into everything I do. Just like you, I view myself as a hard worker. I always have an open mind to new suggestions, ideas, and people that come into my life. I try to be as optimistic as possible with everything that is thrown at me in life.
Hey Manuel,
ReplyDeleteUnlike you and Brent, I am not so good at reading people, unfortunately. But I do relate to your other strengths, and I definitely agree that no matter how charged a situation may be, statistics and numbers should always be analyzed. I thought you did a great job with your interviews, and it is good to see there was only a slight deviation between how you see yourself vs. how your peers see yourself. Overall, great job on this assignment.
