Conestoga College Integrated Capstone Self-Assessment Project

This capstone project, submitted by a student, is a comprehensive self-assessment and personal development plan. It begins with a biography and includes psychometric test results (Myers Briggs and eQi) to understand personality traits and emotional intelligence. A detailed SWOT analysis identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, followed by a skills inventory. The project outlines a plan for skill development, including action plans for improving skills like self-awareness, active listening, and conflict management. Five short-term and five long-term goals are established. The project culminates in a Venn diagram illustrating relationships between different sets and a conclusion summarizing the key findings and the importance of personal development. The project is designed for a Community & Social Services Management course at Conestoga College and includes references and appendices with test results.

1. Biography
1.1 introductory paragraph about myself:
Personal growth is the online process of developing oneself in order to achieve the
fullest potential. This is one of the most vital parts of personal growth and serves as the great
foundation of emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual health (Tattum & Tattum, 2017).
In this paper, I will evaluate myself and identify my strengths and weaknesses. I am Idara
Agwu, working as the team member of Tim Horton, Kitchener, Canada from 2018. I have
completed my post graduate degree on Community & Social Service Management from
Conestoga College, Ontario in the year 2019. I have also completed certification course on
Standard First Aid & CPR Level HCP/AED in the year 2017. In this paper, I will evaluate the
result of psychometric tests.
2. Assessment
Psychometric test is the best way to learn about personal credibility. This is the way,
through which people becomes able to select their career on the basis of their personality
(Faris, 2018). My results of two different psychometric tests are as follows:
2.1 Myers Briggs profile summary:
My score of the Myers Briggs test shows that I hold turbulent personality. I hold the
ability to counterbalance myself by accomplishing something more. In addition, I also make
mistake and cannot control my emotion. I am the entertainer type personality, who can be
highly impulsive. I become exited in every moment and expect the fact that everyone feel in
the same way like I do. It is imperative to note in this context that when it comes to
encouraging others, I feel extremely generous.

5INTEGRATED CAPSTONE
The entertainers are extremely inclined towards comparing with that of the others,
which eventually generates a negative feeling among them (Preston & Fraser-Thomas, 2018).
This is so with the case of me. In fact, I hold assertive personality. In addition, these people
also love to chat on a unique topic in order to catch the attention of people and make them
feel that like party. Being turbulent, I also love to enjoy the simplest of thing and find it more
joyful in having a lovely group of friends. At the same time, the turbulent are a have a very
strong aesthetic sense of personality, who is extremely inclined towards improving
themselves. (Duboust & Knight, 2018). Being the turbulent, I always push myself to become
better. I am more likely to push my best effort in the way of attaining success from an
impending project. In addition, I am always intended to notice little problem and do my best
to resolve the problem.
2.2 eQi test summary:
Emotional intelligence test (eQi) is one of the greatest tests of assessing the mental
stability of people in various situations like failures or discouraging situations (Whitehall, et
al. 2018). I have scored only 38 in my emotional identification, perception, and expression,
which mean that I have to work a lot in order to figure out, perceive and express the emotion
within myself and others. This lacking can make it difficult for me to learn about the emotion
of others. My score in this test suggests that I have to struggle a lot for the sake of relating
with others and behave in a proper manner.
3. SWOT analysis:
The fundamental aim of personal SWOT analysis is stimulate identified strengths,
reduce the area of weaknesses, exploiting the opportunities and developing detailed plan in
order to minimise threat (Boles, 2016). This is the most important tool for personal
development by mitigating weaknesses. My SWOT analysis is presented below:

4.1 List 5 skills to develop:
The skills that are to be developed are as follows:
 Self-awareness
 Active listening
 Leveraging diversity
 Conflict management

4.2 Provide a brief description of a plan of action for each:
In order to build emotional intelligence, I have to take comprehensive action. I have to
utilise assertive style of communication. In addition, I have to pay attention to the speaker
and respond appropriately, which can help me to improve the active listening skill. Fletcher
(2019) showed that this is the key of earning respect within the team. This is the way, through
which the opinion and need can also be communicated properly. Active listening is the best
way of improving the emotional intelligence (Keller, 2019). Thus, it is important for me to
utilise the active listening skill. I have to promote creative collaboration and constant
communication, which can help me to improve the skill of diversity management. In order to
manage conflict within the team, I have to show desire to compromise.

order to manage any kind of conflict within the workplace.
