Self Assessment

• Learning style – visual. – secondary is Tactile/Kinesthetic.

• Most of the time I like to see things being done so I’ll know what's really going on. I also have to hear and have a feel for the job that I might be doing. I take heed on doing things the right way. I try to take side notes when my teacher is explaining , so I can always go back and reflect. I always have a listening ear towards people, this help me to remember what people say.

Self Assessment

• Aptitude – I’m a animator.

• This means I’m gifted at visualizing which lets me see objects in 3 dimensional space.

• This is accompanied with eye for detail.

Self assessment• I am a Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging person.

(INTJ)– Being introverted means that I need time to reenergize my self from school

or work. I may be shy at time because I'm nervous. For the most part I take time out to unwind and reflect.

– When I have a gut feeling about something or when someone ask me a question I just no the answer without hesitation. When taking a test if I studied hard enough I would know the answer without to much thought.

– Whether I'm by myself or with someone I'm always thinking. I believe this is a good habit. Since I’m in my head most of the time I come up with creative ideas or smart answers. Thinking is good sign to me because I would want to learn more or into depth on a subject or matter.

– I judge people to help them with a problem, so they can really see what's going on. I also do this for my own good , I do more of constructive criticism.

Overall Assessment

• I believe I have the right passion to become a physician. From the different self examination test, I have the desire to help people. From my personality test I’m very open to new ideas and change. In the medical field at times it will be at a fast pace and changes on sudden notices, you will have to be able to take charge, organize and come up with new idea to approach a matter.

• I believe patience is also a key factor in this selected career. When dealing with diverse people, you will need to learn how to respectfully talk to someone with a calm voice and mind.

• Listening, learning and being determined play a major role in any career. I try to make a effort to listening to my friends and family when in distress. Learning new things everyday will benefit me as being a physician. Having a knowledgeable mind will always help you to create a new attitude towards your work. I may not be the most outgoing person, but I believe I have confidence. I’m a very determined young lady, if I put my mind, time and energy towards a goal it will get done.
