intelligence, personality, motivation and values and power as well as politics. I am creative,
open, and conscientious. I consider the opinion of others during making any organisational

1.0 Introduction:
Awareness is one of the central concepts in the development of career. Self-awareness can be
defined as the accurate and complete perception about own characteristics and qualities of an
individual. For achieving sufficient progress in the career, it is necessary for knowing own
capabilities and skills. Self-awareness is helpful for an individual in developing a real-life
self-management strategy so that a better employment position can be achieved. Self-
awareness plays a vital role in the model of self-management. Self-management can be
described as a method to take responsibility of own well-being or behaviour. Therefore, self-
awareness encompasses self-monitoring, self-assessment, self-evaluation and other processes.
This report sheds lights on the solid self-awareness. Then it discusses my career-related
strengths and weaknesses. I am Kajal Prajapati. This report provides a brief overview of my
personality, motivators and values, leadership, emotional intelligence and politics and power.
2.0 Self-awareness:
2.1 Personality:
According to Bourdage, Wiltshire & Lee (2015), personality refers to the combination of the
qualities or characteristics which forms a distinctive character of an individual. Self-
awareness changes an individual’s personality when they become mature enough to accept
the weakness (Nielsen, Glasø & Einarsen, 2017). Personality creates influences on the
selection of job and workplace-related behaviour because it dealt with the individual’s
perception and their understanding of values.
For developing a brief overview of my personality, I have conducted a Myers-Briggs
personality test along with the big five personality tests. Myers-Briggs tests show that there
are mainly four different types of personality-related traits among me that are introversion,
sensing, judging, and thinking (Appendix 3). As an introvert, I am quiet, self-sufficient,
reserved and comfortable to be alone. As a thinking person, I decide different things by
considering logic rather than the emotions. As a thinking person, I am not concerned with
protecting the feelings of another person, but I am concerned with various facts. As a sensing
person, I am aware of various trustable facts, details, specifies and the present realities. As a
judging person, I am highly organised, disciplined, as well as strategic. I like to be prepared
and love to work with strong ethics.
