ALL ABOUT ME
BY: CATHLEEN DHALIWAL
Who am I?
Hello! My name is Cathleen Dhaliwal and I am fifteen years old. To start off, I’ll tell you that the most interesting aspect of my life (according to me) is my family. My family is huge. I have an amazing father, a wonderful mother, a fantastic grandmother, three great sisters and a great brother. I am the second youngest in my family, with both my older sisters being in university and my brother being one year older than I. My younger sister goes to middle school. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family, and especially with my siblings. Some of my other interests include sports, like ball hockey, and art, like painting and sketching.

MY LEADERSHIP STYLE
Leader as a Delegator
In the future, I would like to become a leader as a consultant, because these are my favourite type of leaders. They take into account everyone's feelings and areas of expertise to assign tasks, which I attempt to do when given the role of leader.
The biggest example of where I exercise my leadership style is during group projects, or when on a sports team at school.

MY ROLE MODELS
The biggest role models in my life are people that are close to me. I have other role models, but the people I really look up to and constantly want to make proud are my mother, my father, and my lovely grandmother. All three of these people are extremely important to me, and have obviously played a very big role in my childhood, and have helped me become who I am today.

MY PERSONALITY TEST RESULTS
My Blueprint - Learning Styles
My Blueprint-Personality
According to the MyBlueprint survey, my personality type in an "INTJ", which stands for "introverted, iNtuiting, thinking, and judging". INTJ's are imaginative, which I like to believe I am, logical, which I hope I am, and strive to acquire different types of knowledge. I love to learn, and have a thirst for new knowledge. INTJ's are very rational as well, sometimes so rational that they leave out emotion while making decisions. I disagree with this. My emotions do have an influence on my decisions, even if it is only a little.

REFLECTIONS
Which test is the most accurate or helpful in helping you determine what you want to do and why?
I actually had a couple of tests that were accurate in terms of results. The test that I would say was the most helpful in helping me determine what I want to do was the My Blueprint Compatibility Test. In this test we had to click a bunch of our recommended careers and see how compatible we were with them. The top three careers that I had the highest compatibility percentage were; Anthropologist, Orthoptist, and Anesthesiologist. These results were helpful because I had an idea that I wanted to go somewhere in social sciences/life sciences for my career. This result just proved that my idea was accurate for my career choice. But, this test was not the most accurate. The test that I believe was the most accurate was the Right Vs Left Brained test. This is because I completely agree with the results, which I revealed that I was almost a complete bled of both the results.
Which test was least helpful and why?
I think that the least helpful test was the My Blueprint Knowledge Test. This test was the least helpful because it did not really have anything to do with my career. My top subject areas were Gym, Languages, and English. These subjects do not have much to do with my top choices for my career. The main subject that most of my career options are influenced by or based on is science, but that was not in the knowledge areas. But, I do believe that the test was accurate in the sense of what subjects I like at school. I love gym, but English is not that great for me.
Describe four of your strengths and give an example for each.
Independence – this is one of my strengths because I like to be independent. Independence is the characteristic that I never have trouble with, and I think that I do better when I am working alone. An example where I exercise my independence is when I am assigned an independent project. I love to excel in independent projects.
Logic – logic is another one of my strengths, because, for any claims or statements that I make, I always like to back myself up or provide proof. If any problem or obstacle arises, I try to be logical about it, but most of the time my emotions to get in the way of my decision-making process.
Relationships – this is one of my strengths because I find most of my motivation from the relationship that I have with other people. An example of when my relationships are my strength is when I have a problem that I am afraid of. The people in my life are always there for me to talk to, and they always help me get through anything.
Gaining knowledge – knowledge is never a weakness, and that’s why I love to read and gain more. This is one of my strengths because I will never get tired of reading about topics that interest me. For example, world religions are very interesting to read about to me, so in the summer of 2014, all I did for a month was read about world religions on the internet.
Describe four of your weaknesses and give an example for each.
Stubbornness – I am a very stubborn person. I will never admit that I am wrong if I am convinced that I am right, and I won’t try and look at the opposing side’s point of view. This is a very bad habit and makes me seem like a very arrogant and self – important person, which I do not want to be. An example of when I am stubborn is when I am attempting to do something for the first time and someone corrects or criticizes me. I always insist that I am doing it the right way, and that the other person is the one who is wrong.
Procrastination – I am a chronic procrastinator. I hate being late but I do not like starting on time either. I know that I will be rushed and be confused if I keep procrastinating on my work, but I do it anyways. I really do not like this habit of mine, because it can cause a lot of damage.
Laziness – being someone who puts such a high importance on education and who always tries their best, it really creates a conflict of interest when I am a lazy person at the same time. I always try to put my best effort in any projects, but sometimes I get lazy and give up.
Distracted easily – one of my biggest weaknesses is the fact that I get distracted so easily. This is why I always turn off my phone before starting my work because I know I will get distracted by it. But it does not matter what I do, because no matter what, I am bound to get distracted. Even when working in class, I get distracted by my friends, or I just zone out and forget about my work.
What you learned about yourself and anything that surprised you.
By conducting the tests and reading the reports of all the results, I did not really get surprised by anything, since I have a pretty good idea of who I am right now. All of the results just clarified or proved the ideas that I already had about me. For example, before taking the right vs. left brain test, I already knew that I was a good mix of both being logical and being imaginative.
