My Favourite Things
Music
Listening to music because it is entertaining, empowering, and creative. You can make many connections and relate to the numerous number of songs there are, and it can help you get through many things in your life. I listen to music all the time, whether I am doing work, or playing a sport, and it is filled with variety, and different enjoyable styles. My favourite musical artist is the rapper Eminem, as I find his rap style very unique, and empowering.
Friends & Familly
Be around friends and family because I make the best memories, and have the best experiences when I’m with them. My friends and family are a huge part of my life and have always been as they helped my get to the point I am at, which is why being around them is one of my most favourite things to do. I know they will be with me as I grow and get older, and I am certain that they're are more memorable moments to come.
Hockey
Playing and watching hockey because it is entertaining, enjoyable, intense, and competitive support full of excitement and surprises. It involves team work to achieve a common goal against an opponent, and can build chemistry and close relationships between people. I am on the Louise Arbour Secondary School varsity ball hockey team, and have been playing the sport ever since I was 4 years old.
Food
Traveling
Traveling because I like to visit new places and see how things are in other places. I am interested in seeing how different it is around the world, and hope to travel to all the continents in the world. I have traveled to Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cuba, and the United States, and I hope to travel to Hawaii, Paris, Rome, and other unique places.
Movies & Shows
Watching movies and shows because it is very enjoyable, and can be a variety of different genres that interest different people. I am most interested in action, horror, thriller, suspense, and mystery genres because I find these genres the best to watch. I don't have a favourite movie, however, I do have a favourite show, which is Breaking Bad.
My Leadership Style
My Influences
My main influences are my friends and family as I have grown with them, and they have made me who I am today, shaping my personality and characteristics. They have influenced my interests and hobbies, such as playing hockey, watching UFC, and more. I developed a passion for the sport of hockey due to them, and wouldn't have been playing if they weren't playing. My friends and family have introduced me to many things that I cherish and am thankful for.
My Role Model
My Future
In the future, I hope to pursue a career in business, science, or law as these three fields interest me, and I will be able to secure a good job as I specialize in one of the three. I am interested in these fields because I like to learn about law and government, the human body and elements, and am very good at math, as I understand difficult concepts very easily. I plan to achieve one of these careers by graduating from secondary school with high marks, and then being accepted to a university that specializes in one of the fields, where I will then expand my knowledge to become an expert at the subject.
Family Symbols
Concert
Hockey
We all love to play and watch hockey, and do so all the time. Whether it is playing ball hockey, ice hockey, or watching our favourite teams play.
Cuba
Every year, we take a trip to Cuba in the summer and enjoy a week there, making memories that I will never forget. This year, we will be going again, as we have done so for the past four years.
Parties
UFC
My cousins and I gather to go to a pub that we own, where we watch the big UFC event that occurs every month. We were there on April 23, during UFC 196, and will be there for more to come. It has become a tradition that we all enjoy.
Christmas
Every Christmas, my cousins and I do a secret santa, where we buy a special gift for an individual. Last Christmas, I received new shoes, and bought concert tickets for one of my cousins.
Personality Test Results
Learning Styles Test
Learning Style: Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Visual
After completing the learning styles survey, the results were fairly even as I am a auditory, kinesthetic, and visual learner. I feel like I learn best by hearing and listening because I easily understand what someone is trying to teach. Once I understand, I can begin to do the activity for myself. If I am not able to understand by hearing or listening, then I like to be more visual and see how it would work by looking and thinking about it. Lastly, I'd try for myself to see if I am able to figure out and understand the concepts by being hands on. I feel like these results truly matched my learning styles, as I agree with them.
Personality Test
Personality Type: ENFP
Interests Test
Interest Type: Catalyst
After completing the interest survey, the results were that my interest type was catalyst, as my main interest trait was social, then enterprising. I believe I am more interested socially, as my surroundings are important to me. I like to be more involved socially, and represent myself in a good environment. I am unsure about my enterprising interest trait, as I do not know if I would be interested in starting and driving new projects, but it does however pertain to business which is something I am interested in. Since I am a social person, but am unsure about my enterprising trait, I believe these results are somewhat accurate.
Knowledge Test
After completing the knowledge survey, the results for my top subjects were physical education, then business, then science. I agree with these results as I am a really physical and active person, and believe that physical education is really important to be successful, as well as healthy. I am interested in business studies and mathematics as I hope to pursue these fields as I graduate secondary school. I am also interested in science and law as they are also my career options, as it interests me. These results truly matched how I am as a person, which is why I agree with these results.
Motivations Test
Motivation: Working Conditions
After completing the motivations survey, the results were that my top motivation factor is working conditions, and then achievement. I disagree with these results as I believe I am more motivated by achievements. As I achieve goals, I am motivated to achieve more, and go beyond my limit to become even more successful at what I am doing. Although working conditions are important to me, I think achievements is what drives me and pushes me to do more. It is also really important that I work in good conditions, with supporting people around me. I feel like these results were inaccurate as I believe I am more motivated by achievements, rather than working conditions, as I disagree with them.
Multiple Intelligences Test
- Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Strength (Score: 90)
- Naturalist Strength (Score: 80)
- Musical and Logical Strength (Score: 70)
- Kinesthetic and VIsual Strength (Score: 60)
- Existential and Verbal Strength (Score: 50)
After completing the multiple intelligence survey, my results ranked from strongest to weakest were interpersonal and intrapersonal strength, naturalist strength, musical and logical strength, kinesthetic and visual strength, existential and verbal strength. My scores varied from 90 to 50. My strongest strengths were interpersonal and intrapersonal, meaning knowing about myself as well as knowing about other people. My weakest strengths were existential and verbal strength, meaning I am weaker when faced by philosophy, and verbally.
I was not surprised by the inventory as I generally agreed with my results. I believe I do know myself really well, and have the ability to understand others really well too. I have a strong naturalistic, musical, and logical sense as I am constantly concerned by environmental issue, and am constantly getting through days with music. I enjoy music over most things, and it is definitely a big part in my life. I also feel like I am very logical, as it does not take much to explain concepts to me, as I understand fairly quickly. I am a very active person, as I prefer to be outdoors rather than indoors. I enjoy being outside of the house and constantly doing things, rather than staying home and watch television. Also, I am very visual as I like to see and view different things, as it is easier to understand when it is seen visually. The only thing I disagreed with was my verbal strength as I feel like I am stronger verbally, as I speak my mind, and talk things through. I believe my verbal actions have a strong impact and effect on people. Overall, I agreed with the results and I think they’re fairly accurate representation of my strengths.
Knowing my strongest strength, intrapersonal and interpersonal, I will use it to help me with my learning as well as others learning. I know myself very well, so I know I will be able to solve most problems I encounter during my learning, and know when to seek help. I know what I will be able to do independently, and what I will need help with, which I can use to complete tasks, and manage my time. I will also be able to help others learn by speaking to them, and being able to get them to understand different tasks they’re confused with. I will be able to understand how the person sees the problem, and will know how they feel about it, and by knowing this I will be able to know where they are having difficulty. That is how I will use my strongest strengths to help me with my learning right now, as well as in the future.
True Colours Test
- Curious Green and Adventurous Orange (Score: 5/5)
- Harmonious Blue and Responsible Gold (Score: 4/5)
I agree with my true colour assessment as I think my scores were accurate. I feel like I am really curious, harmonious, adventurous, and responsible so I was not surprised by the results. I am a independent, self motivated person, but am also social, and talkative. I enjoy learning new things, and expanding my knowledge in and otutside of school.I am fun loving, sporty, competitive, and like to take risks, giving me an adventurous personality. I also obtain the qualities of respect, organization, and time management, as I always complete my work on time, and help others as much as I can. I believe I am a friendly person, and like to connect with people emotionally, and am comfortable talking to people about different feelings.
I checked off 18 out of 20 statements, the only 2 being “I need order in my life” and “I need to hear encouragement from others”. I do not need order in my life as I like to live in the moment, and go with the flow, living stress free. I do not need constant plan, routine, or schedule to follow to keep order in my life, as I’d rather live freely, without worrying about being behind. Also, I do not need to hear encouragement from others because it does’t affect me. I am able to encourage myself to strive and achieve new things, and don’t have to constantly hear it from others to be motivated.
