2LEADERSHIP
My personality type is that of a thinker. However I also find some of the traits of a relater
in me but most of the time I find myself to be a thinker. This is because I am often introverted
and I do not like opening up with people much. I like to follow the same routine and the same
values that I have been following all these days and I do not appreciate any change in that. I
believe in having an analytical approach and observing things in an orderly and serious manner. I
usually avoid much closeness or eye contact with people. I try to maintain a distance and then
carry the process of proper follow up.
However at times I also like smiling with people and interacting with them. I try to avoid
any kinds of fights around me. I want to do things in a proper way but I often fail due to the lack
of proper decision making abilities.
I am the thinking thinker as I am a very private person and I do not really like opening up
with people. I keep myself guarded. However with the proper resources I want to become a
socializing thinker or the assessor. This will help me to speak out and open up with people. I will
be able to interact and also form strong decisions and opinions. This will surely be helpful for me
in the long run.
SWOT
 My strength is that I am a really good problem solver
 My weakness is I shy from people and do not interact much
 Opportunity is to become an Assessor
 Threat is lack of decision making power and socializing skill.
