• As per the study, I have conducted the grit scale and the Big
Five Personality Test, where I found openness, 44 out of 50 in
most dominant personality trait and 39 out of 50 grit level.
When I looked at my result, I was quite surprised as I received
the result that I had expected. Here, I have set both long-term
and short-term goals for myself and worked hard on it to
achieve the goal. I have found that I am a kind of creative and
curious person in terms of openness.
• I believe understanding the grit level is helpful for a person to
make realistic goals and achieve them on time. This can also
help an individual to create a schedule or routine that can work
to ensure success. Further, having an understanding of
personality traits is helpful for social settings. This can help to
avoid uncomfortable settings. Moreover, knowing personal
traits can help to manage self-conflict and conflict with others.
• I agree with Rita Pierson's position that states, "emotional
connections (positive or negative) are critical motivators for
achieving a long-term goal." For instance, negative emotional
connections or affirmations can create a positive outcome,
while positive emotional connections or affirmations can create
positive outcomes. A true statement is given by Rita Pierson
"None is going to learn from someone they don't like". I
experienced it personally when I was going to my swimming
class.
• My teacher, Miss Lili, made me realize how to fight the fear and
made me feel confident and comfortable when I was scared of
going into the water. For me, she is the champion as she made
me learn many things and made me love swimming.
• In my case, the self-care concept of grit and personality will be
more appropriate to apply in the programmatic course because
self-care can help in different ways to achieve anything in life.
