Discovering Your Personality

Part of discovering your passion is to learn your personality. If we do not know who we are, how can we expect to choose a career or major that we will love if we do not know what we love? The key accomplishments are meant to help you discover characteristics that make up you. In the next part of the assessment you will take your key accomplishments and discover personality characteristics.

1.   Read through the paragraphs you created for key accomplishments.
2.  Reread your paragraphs searching for characteristics shown in your paragraphs. If a characteristic is mentioned more than once, mark each additional time.
3.  Make a list of characteristics.
4. Search this list and add additional characteristics.

I know that at times I can struggle to find strengths that I have in myself. If you struggle as well, ask a friend, coworker, or family member to point out strengths that you have. They can see you in a way that you often cannot.

I learned some characteristics that were common throughout my paragraphs were organization, obedient, studious, and spiritual. As I look at these characteristics, I understand how they will benefit my choice of major. A teacher needs to be organized in creating lesson plans, collecting material, and having an efficient classroom. Obedience will help me to follow school procedures and policies. A teacher needs to be studious. I will need to constantly learn new updates, learn new management principles, and find new ways to teach the students. My spiritual side can help me remember my purpose in teaching. I can receive direction in reaching my students. What were your top four characteristics?
