assessment used McClelland needs analysis. Furthermore, Thomas-Kilmann’s model was used

Self-Awareness Report
Introduction
Self-awareness is undeniably a challenging concept. People find it difficult to understand
their individuality fully with regards to emotions, reactions, behaviour and personality. Having
an idea on personal alignment to traits, personality, motivational needs and ability to solve both
internal and external conflicts is a great milestone (Pasick, 2018). However, this cannot be
achieved without designed personality and motivational tests based on developed theories. This
report seeks to evaluate my personal self-awareness based on four tests. The combination of the
tests establish a basis for critical analysis of my self-awareness assessment test and linking it to
existing theories and research. Based on the analysis, an action plan is developed, and its
objective is to improve my future leadership or managerial skills.
Brief Review of the Results
Based on the results from Myers Briggs test, my profile matched the INTJ (introvert,
intuitive, thinking and judging) personality profile. Particularly the results show that I prefer
introversion to extraversion by (19%), intuitiveness to sensing by (6%), thinking over feeling by
(22%) and judgment over perceiving by (25%). Generally, these results illustrate that I am an
introvert and a critical thinker while trying to solve existing problems rather than relying on
perception. Essentially, such a personality profile is dominated by the need for personal
achievement, autonomy and minimal social interaction with others (Kreitler, 2017, p. 61).
On big five personalities, the results reveal that I am highly conscientious with a score of
15. It further supports the Myers Briggs profile findings that reveals alignment to introversion
trait by showing moderate extraversion with a score of 9. Furthermore, the result shows high
