PERSONAL REFLECTION
Description
I was asked to take part in the Berlin test to test the variety of different sort of characteristics and
skills which are possessed by me. This event has helped me in understanding the current position
of mine in term of the skills or characteristic possess by me in current scenario. Not only that I
have also taken part in the Honey and Mumford learning style to understand the learning style
which is generally endured by me in long run.
Looking at the role which was played by me in the event was to provide the clear and
correct answer to variety of different question which was asked me and on the basis of the same
result of the same was derived, I was tested upon 9 different team roles in Berlin team role, at the
same time I was tested for four different type of leadership style in the Honey and Mumford
learning style model (Li and et.al., 2020). Outcome of conducting this event was to
understanding the internal strength and weakness of mine and on the basis of the same planning
variety of different activity in a way that it used to help me in overcoming my weakness. Event
has gone as expected, and I was able to found out the correct and clear outcome to build on
different activity on the basis of the same as well.
There were many types of feeling which was possessed by me throughout the process of
conducting the event. As it was understood by me that I was very nervous in the starting stage to
provide the clear image of mine in written, reason behind the same might be poor
communication skill of mine which was also identified with the help of the test. After some time
I started feeling comfortable in carrying out different activity very easily in the event. Reason
which was understood by me for the same was that I have understand the different sort of the
action in the better way (Sekarwinahyu and et.al.,2018). This was also certified by the test that I
was very high on different action oriented roles in general. Not only that test has also certified
that I was very good at adopting the thing, Hence after adopting the different course of activity in
event I started feeling more comfortable as compare to initial stage.
At the time of finishing the event it was understood by me that I started panicking on
some or the other point in the event, this has eventually resulted in building a situation where I
was finding it too difficult to manage different activity on time and complete the same as well.
Reason behind the same might be lack of time management skill and low on complete finisher

trait of mine. As test conducted by me also used to provide the same course of line outcome for
me.
Evaluation
Evaluating the outcome of the event it was identified that there were variety of different traits on
which I have to focus the most and try to improve the same. At the same time there were many
skills on which I was very high on number.
Looking at the positive element, it was identified by the test that I am very good at
carrying out different action oriented role in team work which means that I generally find it easy
to involve my self more in practical role as compare to the theoretical one. From the same
outcome it was interpreted by me that I was having very good Interpersonal and problem solving
skill. As being action oriented always demands or ask the individual to have better understanding
of individual you are interacting with and also has better knowledge about different task which is
carried out by the individual me (Markkanen and et.al., 2020). Reason behind highlighting the
same is that it demands you to have good problem solving skill. Hence, on the basis of the same
it was understood that I was having good problem solving, Team working and Interpersonal
skills.
Looking at the negative element of the test it was understood that I was very low in traits
like Monitor Evaluator, Specialist and complete finisher. This ultimately provides evidence to
above provided analysis that I was not that good at carrying out theoretical roles, hence in depth
understanding the same has provided me the knowledge that I am not having that good
Numeracy, information and communication and time management skill in general. Hence, some
sort of the action has to be derived toward the same to improve the same.
Analysis
As per the Gibbs reflective model, I have analysed that the Belbin test has helped me
effectively evaluate that while working in the team that, I am not considered to be as a good
evaluator. I need to work upon the development of the key communication skills both written
and verbal. I have key problem in monitoring and also evaluating the work of the people within
the team. The most significant skill within me is that I am highly action oriented (Tawanwongsri
and Phenwan, 2019). This is done by me because I have better team working and interpersonal
skills. During the Belbin test, it has been examined that, I am not a good completer or finisher. I

have faced high degree of difficulty in completing the project on a timely manner within the
prescribed set of timeline. I believe to have complete set of action oriented roles which helps in
providing appropriate set of action plan, resolving issues and finding the best possible approach
to resolve the problem and attain desired set of results. I have high degree of action oriented roles
which further helped me in improving the key set of prominent results. This has been analysed
using the Honey and Mumford learning style. I have effective information and communication
skills which helps in improving the key significant results.
Conclusion
As per the Gibbs reflective model, the key activities linked with the Belbin and the
Honey Mumford test are highly useful because it helps in bringing out the key relevant aspects. I
believe to have high degree of action oriented roles to improve my learning styles. It has been
summarized that, there is a need for me to develop an effective written communication skills.
This helps in the better interaction with all the team members while effectively carrying out the
study (Potter, 2015). I also need to focus on developing the key significant set of skills associated
with the numeracy. I believe that, development of the numeracy skills will be useful for me to
investigate on the statistical set of data. I am very good at carrying out different action oriented
role in team work. I started feeling comfortable in carrying out different activity very easily in
the event. I have also found difficulty in effectively managing the varied set of activity which
helps in the completion of task in a significant manner. As being action oriented always, I have
better understanding of the individual person. I have key problem in monitoring and also
evaluating the work of the people within the team.
Action plan
As per the Gibbs reflective model, I have to develop both written as well as the verbal set
of communication skills which is highly significant in improving the health outcomes and
conditions. This can be done by giving presentation, interacting with the team members and
helps in building a social group. I will also indulge in reading as it will help in choosing of the
right set of vocabulary and also fluently communicating with the team members. This way it will
be useful for me to improve the communication skills and results in better attainment of the goals
in both academic and business context. I need to be an effective implementer which helps in
systematically developing the discipline and also act highly conservative which helps in meeting
the key relevant deadlines. This way it helps in pushing the team to complete the task on a timely

manner. I will develop a complete Gantt chart and timeline to allot the task in accordance with
the deadline. This way it helps in improving the key relevant results and outcomes. I pay high
degree of attention to the omission and error (Husebø, O'Regan and Nestel, 2015). I have
developed effective numeracy skills and focuses on encouraging the team members to resolve
the problems and motivating the other team members to significantly carry out the specific task. I
will focus on effectively developing reading, writing, auditory, visual and Kinaesthetic skills
which helps me in improving the varied set of skills and seeking greater degree of opportunities.
I will focus on improving my skills by complying and working on improving the interpersonal
skills. This way it helps in the better attainment of the key results and solving the problems and
resolving disputes while working in a team. I will focus on effectively identifying the key
suitable activities and completing project on a reliable and timely manner.
