Part 1
Is destiny achievable or is it inevitable? I think that this dimension dependent on
willpower, low willpower will lead to a person accepting his position (directed)
while high willpower empowers a person to strive to achieve their desired position
(directive), taking the bull by the horns so to speak.
Relationships, is your work life separate from your personal
life? Or is it just your life? People with situational relationships usually
have a clear distinction between work colleagues and friends, while people with
universal relationships tend to mix business and pleasure.
If a police man sees
his brother breaking the law, should he abide by the rules or make an exception?
Choosing the former choice would indicate that decision making is based on
rules while the latter would be based on relationships.
The accountability dimension can be simplified by using football
as an example. If a fan attributes the winning of matches to the players who
scored, that means that his polarity is towards individual accountability, but if
he attributes it to the whole team that means that his polarity is towards
community accountability.
Part 2
My CMI results say that I display a tendency to be directive
when it comes to my destiny. From these results I learn that my stubbornness can
be productive if used as persistence to achieve my goals. I agree with the
results because I believe that destiny awaits us to achieve it and it our fate
is not to be accepted but changed according to our wishes and desires.
My results also indicate that in the relationship dimension I
have a situational polarity. I believe the results to be accurate as I view my classmates
to be different from my friends; however classmates can become friends after
some time. From this I have learned that when I join the workforce I will be
more comfortable having my work life separate from my personal life.
My results for the decision-making dimension show a
relationship tendency. While it is true that my decisions are greatly affected
by relationships that does not mean I disregard the rules. I mostly agree to
this result, but I will be paying more consideration to how I follow the rules
from now on.
My result in the accountability dimension is in the middle.
A balance between individual and community accountability can be advantageous for
morale and improvements in skills. I agree with the result and think that this
is strength and can be used to improve efficiency.
Part 3
I hope to improve on my results by becoming more efficient,
but the change needed is not immense. I think that for most people the results
will be more or less identical because these dimensions indicate their personality
and viewpoints, however a significant change in lifestyle like a student
joining the work force might cause a shift in the polarities because an event like that can have a
significant impact on a person’s personality and characteristics. In the end,
we are who we are and changing who are is unlikely and 5 years is not enough to
change that.
