This Journal is a self-analysis of mine on my personal as well as professional development to
analyse challenges while recognising personal or professional weaknesses. As we know that
by doing self-analysis an individual can minimize his or her weakness hindering their
personal and or professional development (Cherry, 2018).
Using Cattel’s traits model, I am introducing my personality, as I am a person with versatile
personality with full of abstractedness, as I am more practical than imaginative or theory
oriented. I do things confidently except in some rare situations. Moreover, I am a having
flexible personality while, situations demand to be adaptively react. Being an emotionally
unstable person, I think that I loss in many cases where I am expected to be practical rather
than emotional. Conversely, I am not a dependent kind of person, as I am having a quality of
self-reliance. According to me and my friends, I need to be more socially bold because of my
shy nature. Moreover, during some professional hectic situations I react impatiently in order
to gain perfectionism in each and everything I do. Whenever I meet some relatives, family
members or close friends, they can feel my warmth and liveliness. I believe in honesty and
my personality contains this quality as a key element.
To identify my foremost strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in personal as well
as professional context, I am doing SWOT analysis (Cattell & Mead, 2008). My key
strengths are:
 Honesty
 Openness to environment
 Positive attitude
 High confidence
 Practicality
My openness to environment gives me a sense of free and innovative thinking and keeps me
happy in my routine life. Additionally I am having highly confident and practical person.
My foremost weaknesses are as follows:
 Emotional instability
 Sensitivity
 Less social-boldness
