What 2 people did you interview and how you know them? (family, friends, co-workers, etc.) How long have you known them?
Inge, My sister of 21 years.
What strengths did they convey to you about your interpersonal skills?
That im always able to promote myself and that i convey the passion i feel in regards to diffrent events/aspects of my life. My sister also said that sometimes watching me is like watching the animal channel, like you dont know what the animal will do next, & that theres an intresting process to how i do things like packing for instance... how can a suit case that was organized by our mother in 5 min after me touching it look like customs went through it! Most people this would frustrate but for me it works, organized chaos! Shes impressed with my everythings fine attitude.
What weaknesses, or areas for improvement, did they suggest?
My ability or lack there of in following spoken directions and then getting defensive about my failure to complete tasks.
Analyze what you learned: what did you know already about yourself and your skills, what surprised you? Im aware that I have an auditory proccesing dissorder, and people are contantly thinking im not listening to them, when really i am. I use to get really angry & frustrated when people would respond or show disapointment in my ability to listen and follow through.
What specifically will you do over the next few weeks and months to work to improve on these areas? I will give my self a schedule, I find that when im working off of a schedule that it lessens my distractions and im more equiped to focus.
