My Personal Feedback
(maniwala kayo o hindi, pero 'yan yung sabi dun sa isang test na kinuha ko para sa isang kumpanya)

Your personal feedback, as follows, provides an overview of your personality characteristics and interests:

Jerick, please keep in mind that the following report on you as a total person is based on all the information taken from your careerXact assessment. This report is intended to help you understand more about yourself and your career options. Although based on objective, detailed assessments, no single report can sum up your full, distinctive character. The goal here is to provide you with valuable and unique insight into yourself and the careers that best suit your motivations, interests, and personality traits.Starting with motivations, your assessment scores show that you are well inclined to work with people and things, but what you like best of all is working with data. The kind of tasks that will appeal to you the most will involve data analysis, symbols, information management __ anything that provides information in some measurable way. Your powerful enthusiasm for data, combined with your above-average interest in people and tools, means that you are likely to do well in any information technology. Hands-on use of the Internet, communications, detailed paperwork, and computer-generated reports would all draw on your combined interests. Summing up your overall mindset, you have great potential for social or academic activities and you are positively motivated to use physical tools, manual equipment, and machinery. This is a winning mix for a wide range of opportunities.

Regarding your personality and how that fits with the opportunities you might consider, you probably already know that you are reasonably obliging yet you do not hold back from competition, but that is just the beginning. Jerick, your scores show that you are equally ready to be either a team member or a team leader __ as long as you still get individual recognition. Although you are adaptable and willing to play whatever "role gets the goal," you function better if your personal contribution is recognized. This doesn't mean that you will thrust yourself into the limelight at the expense of others. In fact, you prefer to avoid conflict and aggression. This shows in your leadership style, too. If you are called upon to resolve a dispute, you will rely more on persuasion than force. You can be outspoken and will promote your own ideas, but you prefer to encourage rather than compel.

So how do you deal with both the sudden impact of a crisis and the humdrum of daily routine? Your personality traits are right on target for the fast pace of contemporary work: your assessment results show that you are both innovative and sufficiently organized. You react well to unexpected demands and you are happy to find new ways to solve problems, yet you can also follow a set routine. You can work within established guidelines as long as they permit some interpretation. That is, you might be able to work with military precision but you still need a little artistic licence. Your workspace, for example, may appear somewhat cluttered and disordered but you know where everything is. You have to have some leeway to think for yourself. If the rules and regulations don't let you react in your own way, you would have to gut it out to keep up to your usual level of accomplishment.

This on-your-toes attitude also shows in your approach to planning. You likely have an overall strategy for dealing with problems but you prefer to fill in the details as situations develop. There is a streak of daring in your approach to work so that doing a job "on the fly" is no problem for you. In the main, you are more concerned with getting the job done than how you do it. The gist of the careerXact appraisal of your character is that you are flexible and orderly. You can make plans and work in a controlled manner, but you are not upset if you have to abandon those plans to cope with unexpected events. You are stimulated by new developments and a changing work environment.

You know how you react to most workplace issues, but what is the best environment for you to do your best work? You don't need to work with others face-to-face all the time and you can cope with some isolation, but you will achieve your highest productivity with a small group in a lively setting. Because you are friendly and outgoing, Jerick, you could also commit to a large group in a noisy, chaotic environment but not for a prolonged period. Being companionable, you will contribute readily to conversation and informal discussion, but you still need time alone to reflect on your efforts and plan your work.

In general, you are open to new acquaintances and fresh views, but you examine both new people and new ideas carefully before accepting them. In a group situation, you will participate well because you have the ability to present your ideas with enthusiasm, while at the same time listening for feedback and casual debate. However, you will not hog the spotlight because you are not driven to be the center of everyone's attention. You tend to be self-reliant and, while you require change and new input, you are able to tolerate some monotony. Consequently, ideal work for you should require frequent interaction with small groups, the support of established procedures as well as development of new protocols, and variable contact with newcomers. Extended periods of isolation or total immersion in-group projects would be equally frustrating for you. Long-term assignments must include challenge and opportunity for growth.

Finally, work often creates stress and how you deal with stress is crucial not only for job achievement but also for job satisfaction. The best job in the world is no good to you if it makes you sick with anxiety. You will be glad to know that your personality profile reveals that Jerick Medrano customarily copes well with pressure and, while you can be pressed into "losing your cool," you regain your composure remarkably well. You tend to avoid stress and this is a good thing because high pressure for a long period will disturb you. If you must manage a heavy workload in tiresome conditions with unreasonable deadlines, you are not likely to break down but you will need to exert yourself to maintain your focus. When truly stressed, you may not want to trust others and you could find yourself becoming more sensitive to criticism. Because of these attitudes, you may be less objective and rational if involved in a personal dispute. On the whole, however, you will always give your best effort no matter what the circumstances. -->
