Self-reflection and introspection
Introduction : This self-reflection aims to shed some light on my personality, multiple intelligences that I have , my learning style and also the study skills that can benefit me. It is based on the results of the different tests that I have conducted to investigate myself , and according to the analysis of the results that I have got I am writing this self-reflection.
My personality test results: When conducting my personality tests , I realized that I am an anonymous protagonist. This test explores different characteristics of me including my mind, energy, nature, tactics and identity. For my mind, there are two choices, which are introverted and extraverted, and I am classified as being an extraverted

The results of this test show that I am interpersonal, which means that I have the ability of communicating in an effective way with others, in addition to the ability of developing good and strong relations with other people, and I am a member in the neighborhood club and this helps me in expanding my relations with my managers, class mates and others in my community. (Multiple Intellegencies Theory ( Gardner ), 2005). I also have naturalist intelligence, which means that I have high curiosity about the living things and the planet.

In Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers, we uncover the myth behind the notion of an Outlier. It looks at every point that contributes to the success of the individual and shows that most successful people are not outliers by definition. They are successful because of several things and not just because the person is exceptional. The things that the book takes into account are the timing of birth, opportunities during their lives, how much practice they had in their field, IQ, and practical intelligence. These qualities are covered in the first half of the book, and we look at more factors in the second half of the book such as ethnic and cultural influence.
For Wallace, intelligence is defined as having an awareness of the world that is not “limited by perception through a self-centered point of view” (202). Wallace suggests that well-adjusted intelligence is characterized by the ability to choose how one perceives the world and what is thought about in the midst of life’s day-to-day routines. Being able to choose what to think and having the ability to see the world without “oneself as the center of the universe” provides one with the awareness that Wallace calls intelligence.
SCI411 Academic and personal development Portfolio: Part 1 From not being in education for a few years, being able to recognise my own academic skills, strengths and weaknesses was quite difficult. However, over these first couple of weeks in lectures my learning strengths and weaknesses have made themselves apparent. Whilst filling out the questionnaire Skills Self-Assessment Audit (Theeducators, 2013) it took a lot of understanding of the questions to be able to answer honestly, and my lowest scores reflected this in the personal effectiveness category.

Texas A&M International University Autobiography: Through Psychological Lens Term Paper Emily Castaneda PSYC-2301-207 Professor Garza April 17, 2023 Abstract The complexity of understanding oneself is a lifelong journey. Two of my most interested topics in psychology are human development and personality theories.
I always listen in class to learn everything that I can. Once I read ahead three chapters in my textbook. I always begin on my projects swiftly because I want to explore the topics. I value knowledge as an important skill. I also enjoy questioning things.
In today’s society people often correlate test scores and percentages to how intelligent a person is. Although, I believe intelligence is also a mix of experiences, I strive to control what people judge me on, which is calculated numbers.

Intelligence comes in a wide variety; it’s not only measured by one’s knowledge of books and performance in the classroom, but when it comes to measuring the intelligence of an individual you will always have controversial responses. Academic Intelligence is clearly not seen through Gerald Graff and Mark Rose’s essays. In Gerald Graff’s work entitled, “Hidden Intelligence”, he covers the points on his personal opinion on how intelligence is not found in people who are “book smart”, but also in those who are “street smart”. Similar to Graff’s essay, Mark Rose touches upon the idea that people who spend more of their time in a more academic environment are not as intelligent as those who don’t. Although both Graff and Rose touch upon similar ideas with minimal differences, they both view each of the problems with different perspectives by creating solutions to their
Stephen Jay Gould demonstrates through scientific exploration that intelligence is an abstraction. Intelligence cannot be linear and is not quantitatively measured. The writer is exceptionally dogmatic and self-congratulatory, but I respect him for addressing tthe role “science” has had the lies of genetic superiority and intelligence.
From the different personality tests that I have taken in the past, I know that I am an introvert. So, the score of 20 I thought was too high, but from the book it says that an extravert is sociable, fun-loving, and affectionate. I am these things but just around the people I feel comfortable around, such as family and close friends. This is most evident in church because that is where most of my family and close friends gather. I am comfortable around them, and I also try to get out of my comfort zone once in a while.
Learning Autobiography (LAB #1): Formal and Informal Educational Experiences My formal education was limited by internal and external forces. I will explore the effect of these influences. I will describe events from elementary and middle school that shaped my opinion of education, and why I did not see the importance of it. I will reflect on how my poor attitude and the indifference of the adults around me set the course for road I would take.
what are my own personal learning styles? when tsking thst short quiz on azcis i found out that i tie bettween auditory and tactile learning. auditory learning is a form of learning where a person learns best through hearing things and taking notes on it later. auditory learners tend to hum or talk to themselves to better understand something or just simply out of boredom. tactile learners , learn best through there body, hence why they tend to do more athletic things.
I have always hated writing about myself, and I always dreaded assignments in school where I had to describe myself. I always wanted to avoid doing these assignments because I did not want to sound narcissistic, or self-absorbed. I dislike people like that now, because I used to be one of those people. It took many lessons learned before I humbled myself; I am still learning to humble myself today with recent experiences I have had. Although I hate to write about myself, I have always liked to reflect on myself.
I have come to learn three things about myself: I have an insatiable need to learn, I’m happiest when I’m being creative in a way that allows me to express myself, and I have a huge desire to make a significant difference in the lives of others. I was born in Costa Rica, however, three short years later my parents decided to move to the United States. At this age one can barely speak their native tongue, yet I was put in an environment in which I had to communicate in an even more foreign language. I lived in a small town called Cherryville. Soon, I began adapting to my surroundings and I was even learning to communicate with the other kids in my preschool.
