HUMAN RELATIONS IN ADMIN 1
I can communicate capably, but sometimes I experience problems in communicating. I
take the time to think about the approach I am taking to communicate and focus on the messages
which I receive and send them. My skills for solving problems are excellent as I can easily relate
and identify the obstacles, opportunities as well as implement and develop the solutions which
are effective in nature and which proves the best to solve those problems. I possess a go-getter
attitude towards any issues which I face, and I can solve it properly with every possible effort.
I possess an internal locus of control as I can influence many events and the outcomes of
those events. However, I lack the external locus of control as I do not have such habit to blame
the forces of outside environment. I can control my life very well, and all the events which are
happening are also well organized by me. While communicating with strangers, I experience
mild burnout as I must frame my language and context that is easily understood by them. Also, I
fear that any confidential information must not get leaked out by me while communicating with
any stranger. My stress level scores are below 100 as I do not take much stress. It is always
between low to moderate levels even in the cases of high-pressure environments when the stress
levels usually go up in certain cases.
On communication, I received 44 scores- I can communicate capably with fewer errors
and more confidence, but sometimes I experience problems in communicating. I always need
time to think about the approach I am taking to communicate with others and focus on the
messages which I receive and send to others. On Problem Solving I received 57 scores- My
approach to solving a problem is a “hit-and-miss.” My solutions to any problem I face depends
upon the circumstances. Sometimes it goes well, and at other times it does not go well. I can
understand and recognize the Situation and then structure a process to problem solving. Since I

knew about my capabilities about being a problem solver, the results were somehow familiar to
me. Therefore, I was not much surprise which unfolded. However, I discussed my results with
my family, and I got some more viewpoints over the same. After the completion of this self-
assessment, I have learned that being a confident problem solver can help to face any challenge
in life with no fear and hesitation. In the last few years, my skills were tested by few
circumstances which I thought were just trials but according to me, those trials have proven to
make me more confident in my skills to solve any problem.
