Paragon Learning Styles Inventory (PLSI) & Student Leadership Practice Inventory

PLSI gives the most important information in terms of personal quality and character in various people. In my own assessment, I am a sensate, a judger and an extrovert person. Firstly, being a sensate, I am a practical and realistic person, more consistent and patient. Above all I am orderly sensible man who applies common sense and experiences such as daily practices and order in all my activities. On the other hand, I am also a judger due to my decisive nature, I embrace scheduled events, have set opinions, and likes order and organization. Lastly, as an extrovert, I learn things by practically doing them, I readily volunteers, and gives opinion and most importantly acting as a leading example to the rest. This assessment on my personal character is based on my self-evaluation as a soccer captain in the campus (Sloterdijk, 2013).

As team leader of my soccer team, I lead as an example which is very critical to my leadership skills. I usually show up timely to training and many times stayed there until late. I was willing to do everything. I was not that nice person to wipe the floor or very calm to yell inspirations words to a newcomer. I recognized that my actions spoke louder than words, therefore in most instances I showed people what to do by leading as an example rather telling them what to do. It is this practical example that defines my character better as a judger, a sensate, and an extrovert person.

As good leaders I do arise for my beliefs, thus I would better have my beliefs to arise for. As a leaders, I am vivid and concise regarding my guiding principles. I have my personal voice, and as well I vividly and genuinely give voice to my ideals. Nevertheless I cannot basically execute my beliefs on others and expect commitment. I do involve others in common ambitions. Acting as a good example starts with the clarification of my ideals and includes building and asserting common beliefs that all can hold (Sloterdijk, 2013).

According the description of Tieger on temperament results, I can ascertain that I am in a “traditionalist” category. This is reinforced due to my strong connection of being a judger and a senser. Furthermore, I clearly belief that expressive speeches regarding shared ideals are not virtually adequate (Sloterdijk, 2013). As a role model I recognize that it’s my conduct that earns my esteem. The actual test is whether I do what I talk about; whether what I talk or speak and my actions are constant. A role model, I lead as an example and shape obligation through modest, regular actions that generate growth and shape momentum.
