Based off the results of the grit survey, I "see myself 10 percent
grittier than other Americans". I honestly must agree with these
results, I often leave projects unfinished (a bad habit), I have been
doing this since childhood. I have often lacked motivation and
interest in completing goals.
As far as the Big Five survey, I scored highest in openness and
agreeableness coming in at 39/50 for both. Both suit me well, I
certainly avoid conflict as much as possible, but I am always willing to
listen to both sides of the issue at hand and pull from new and old
ideas to resolve the problem.
The value in knowing your grit level and personality traits is learning
to know yourself, and how you will react and respond in certain
situations.
I agree with Pierson. When there is an emotional connection, the
likelihood of completing a project, task, agreement, disagreement,
ect. is much higher than when there is no connection.
I am becoming my own champion. I am so far ahead of myself, and
where I thought I would be even just two years ago. The longer I live
and experience the ups and downs of life, the more motivated I
become to be better. A better employee/employer, a better mom, a
better thinker, and many more positives.
I think I may have chosen emotional intelligence many times already,
but I feel like it fits right in here with grit and personality traits. There
is a need to relate to yourself emotionally to show (positive)
personality. Negative people are often not in tune with themselves
emotionally.
