A Test.

So for this "thing" I am doing I had to go online and fill out a "Leading from your Strengths" test.

All I did was, from a list of four words/phrases, pick which words I felt both most and least described me. There were 20 or 22 groups of words, and from that I got a 27 page report!! Dang gina.

Here is what it says for my "general characteristics"... I actually think it is pretty accurate. Minus the whole not being competitive thing - where did they get that??

Cori likes to succeed through persistence. She uses her strong, steady tendencies to
accomplish her goals. She is often seen as practical and objective. She requires many
good reasons, as well as the benefits involved, before agreeing to making changes.
Others see her as a good neighbor, since she is always willing to help those she considers
to be her friends. When people are involved, she may not always be precise about the use
of her time. She likes harmony and cooperation. Most of the time she appears as cool,
calm and controlled. She does not always like being placed in competitive situations. She
tends to lose the "team feeling" when she is involved in direct competition. She can be
discreet and sociable as called for by the situation. When the time is right, Cori can stand
up aggressively for what she believes. She dislikes volunteering her opinion until she has
collected sufficient information to warrant an opinion.
Cori prefers to plan her work and work her plan. Others may find it refreshing to have
her on their team. She may tend to fight for her beliefs or those things she feels
passionate about. She may want to think over major decisions before acting. She must be
convinced that actions will produce the desired result. She can be sensitive to the feelings
of others and is able to display real empathy for those who are experiencing difficulties.

Occasionally she will underplay bad news, if telling it as it is will offend someone. She may
fear it would disturb the relationship. Once she has arrived at a decision, she can be
tough-minded and unbending. She has made her decision after gathering much data, and
she probably won't want to repeat the process. She tries to use balanced judgment. She
is the person who brings stability to the entire team. She is good at analyzing situations
that can be felt, touched, seen, heard, personally observed or experienced. Her motto is,
"facts are facts."
Cori is quick to pick up on group dynamics and skilled in fitting in with a group. She
brings both speaking and listening skills to the group. She is not easily triggered or
explosive, but she may hold on to some grievances because she doesn't always state her
feelings. She likes a friendly, open style of communication. She does not enjoy
confrontation for confrontation's sake. She feels she can succeed through patience and
resolve. Cori usually is considerate, compassionate and accepting of others; however, on
some occasions can become stubborn. Stubbornness surfaces when her ideals and
beliefs are confronted. She likes to know what is expected of her in a working relationship
and have the duties and responsibilities of others who will be involved explained.
Communication is accomplished best by well-defined avenues. She will be open with
those she trusts; however, reaching the required trust level may take time.

So, friends, what do you think? Pretty accurate?

P.S. I eat my words about AZ not winning in the tournament - sweet 16 baby!!! YEAH!
