All about me!
“When you view your world exclusively through the lens of science, your prescription will never be strong enough.” ― Jay Nichols
Who Am I?
My Brain
Although I use both the left and right side of my brain depending on the thought process necessary, I am most comfortable while using the left side of my brain. That means that I like more structure, control, clarity, focus, direction, responsibility, organization, planning, mathematical and analytical skills, listening skills, rational and logical thinking.
Decision Making
Behavioral Style
when making decisions I tend
to follow the behavioral style. People with that decision making style focus on people and social aspects of work,
consider the well-being of others, acquire information by listening and interacting with others, evaluate information by using feelings and instincts, and have a low tolerance for ambiguity (when things are unclear or uncertain). Sometimes others perceive my decision making as too concerned about others, wishy-washy, can't make hard decisions, can't say no. The best organizational fit for my type of decision making is one that allows for well-designed, people oriented collegial (group) settings.
