Samantha, as I read your answer to the question, I couldn’t help but feel like I was reading something about myself. I am also both an extrovert and feeler. I reason that these two characteristics can be both beneficial and harmful in many ways. Beneficial in the fact that we will not only be able to approach and interact with others very easily, but others will also feel as though they can approach us. This will also benefit when interacting with the community in an open system setting. I’m really glad you brought up the fact that extroverts would be vulnerable to being less independent and in return possibly less productive as this is something that I did not think about. In conjunction to this negative, another thing that you might want to think about, is that as extroverts we can sometimes come across as pushy or obnoxious. For this reason, we need to learn how to control ourselves and be able to tell when enough is enough. I am also a feeler not by much, but I still lean in that direction. I have a feeling that I already know how this characteristic will affect me as an administrator both in a positive and negative manner. Positively because I care about people, their feelings and trying to do what I believe will make them happy and possibly encourage them to do better. The negative side of this personality trait is that we can tend to overlook certain rules and regulation so somebody’s feelings do not get hurt. In return, this could cause us issues down the road when another situation surfaces and our decisions or punishments do not match up. Again, thanks you Samantha for being open and honest about your strengths and weaknesses. After completing the personal style inventory, I learned some interesting facts about myself. I feel that being an extrovert, it would give me some advantages in becoming an administrator. I feel comfortable interacting with other and I think it would make more open with stakeholders to hear their input and ideas. A weakness that his character trait would make me vulnerable to would be having less independence or always feeling the need to have people around me. I don't really feel like I need to have people around me all the time but I feel like this could be a weakness for me. During the next two years, I need to work on being more independent and task-oriented. Another character trait that I learned about myself is that I am more of feeler than a thinker. I think this is a great personality trait to have because it means you care about other. But I also think that this could be a weakness as an administrator. There could be some cases where you need to stick to the rules and not make exceptions due to individual cases. Intrinsic motivation is the key to success is my mind. I like to feel productive and I think this would help me as an administrator. I will need to realize some people may need to be extrinsic motivators and i would try to push them to be more motivated by intrinsic reasons. I think that there are strengths and weakness to all peoples character traits and we would need to find a balance to be a productive administrator. -- *Codie Ward* *Vinton Elementary* *4th Grade Language Arts and Science* * gl_jward at seovec.org < gl_jward at seovec.org >* *1 Peter 3:18* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
