The Personality Dimensions Test For A Team Environment

Introduction Taking the Personality Dimensions test was very good to gain insight into both the personalities myself and my peers. An increased awareness of how different people work, communicate, and gain their energy is so important in order to be able to appreciate the differences of others, which will ultimately prepare a student for being a more effective worker in a team environment. Part One – My Personality Dimension Colours I have very strong organizational skills, which is a telling trait that I am strongly Gold. I constantly make use of Google Keep, a note-taking application which I use for checklists to keep track everything I need to do from homework to grocery shopping lists. I find it very helpful for me to keep track of†¦show more content†¦My keen attention to detail also allows me to help friends and family with enthusiasm when they come to me with something they’d like me to proofread for them. Not only am I very attentive to details as a strong Gold, but I also really enjoy work that requires me to be detail-oriented. For my secondary colour, Blue, I feel that the trait I identify with most is the desire for self-actualization and personal growth. For much of my life, I have struggled with self-image and self-esteem, but at the present time I spend a lot more of my energy on the potential that I do have to be a better version of myself, and I really value the idea of personal growth. Specifically, I have adopted a much more positive outlook on things than that of what I used to have. I spend much less time being anxious about what people will think of me, and have shifted my focus more to improving my own self, both mentally and physically. I also feel I am far less judgmental of people now, because I realize that every person is just trying to do their own thing—work towards their own goals—and it is not constructive for anyone to be judgmental about petty things. I greatly value self-actualization and personal growth, which makes me confident that Blue is a colour that

Rhetorical Analysis The Electoral College - 1896 Words

Rhetorical Analysis: The primary audience for this paper includes every citizen aged eighteen and above eligible to vote in the United States. The proposed topic mostly concerns these individuals due to the fact, they are affected by presidential voting institutions. Throughout this paper, I will be arguing in favor of the Electoral College, with an end goal of persuading my audience of the benefits of the system. MWA #1: The Electoral College is a constitutional system written in 1787, in this system â€Å"each state selects as many electors as it has representatives in Congress†, members of the college casts ballots for individuals, the individual with the most electoral votes becomes the President of the United States (Shelley 80). It is†¦show more content†¦Ã¢â‚¬Å"From 1972 to 2012, citizens 18-29 turned out at a rate 15 to 20 points lower than citizens 30 years older† from this data we can conclude that age is a demographic that affects voter turnout (What Affects Voter Turnout). Voting laws such as those of identification or registration impact voter turnout. For example, the introduction of early voting was meant to increase voter turnout, but has in fact decreased turnout (What Affects Voter Turnout). In response to the argument that the system lowers voter turnout rate, one should take the many other variables that contribute to turnout into account. The argument that the Electoral College is undemocratic is correct, the system is undemocratic due to the fact, that it is the electors who elect the president, not individuals. While the Electoral College is technically undemocratic it is still a fair system. â€Å"Virtually all states award all their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote in the state’, even so it is possible for the winner of the electoral vote to lose the popular vote which we’ve seen in the 2000 election between Bush and Gore. This is an example of a flaw in the system, but a single flaw does not justify abolishing the system altogether (Posner). Another common argument against the Electoral College is that it favors the interests of smaller states. However, according to J. Banzhaf who applied game-theoretic mathematics to the Electoral College system that invalidates this argument.Show MoreRelatedRhetoric And Its Impact On Politics1157 Words   |  5 Pagesreveal the big contrast in rhetorical strategies between the US two major parties; Democrats and Republicans.
