Personality is what distinguishes us from one another.

It may define a person’s good

and bad habits. Personality may affect how we interact with other people every day and
influence how we make decisions. With that, it may dictate our direction in life. Upon
writing this reflection, I asked a few people how they define personality. Some said that
personality is how we behave, the language we use, how we dress, and how we
mentally respond to a situation. I agree with them, since personality lies in so many
ways in how we convey ourselves. Knowing your personality can help you define your
weaknesses and strengths, as well as your capabilities and limitations. Based on what I
have learned in my previous subject, one’s personality can be built by two factors, which
are nature and nurture. Nature is influenced by genetics or inherent traits, while nurture
is influenced by external factors or what we learn from our social environment.
Based on the personality test that I recently answered, I am a commander.
Commanders are bold, imaginative, and strong-willed, always finding a way—or making
one. After seeing this result, I laughed, and further evaluated myself. After that, I
realized that somehow the result of the personality test was accurate. When I was in
high school, I was always chosen to be a leader, and as a leader, I want my members
to follow my instructions because, for me, it is the best strategy to do so. If we
encounter challenges, I always find a way to resolve the problem immediately.
Sometimes, I get mad at my groupmates if they do not cooperate or at least put in an
effort while we are doing the project or output. If they do not contribute to what we are
doing, I easily pull them out of the group members, so, as a result, when there is a
group activity, most of my co-members are participating in what we are going to
accomplish. Sometimes I find myself, bossy, and it is somehow the part of me that I
must change. Maybe, sometimes my co-members get offended at me without my
knowledge. However, I cannot blame myself if, for me, it is the best way to do it
because, most of the time, we excel in every group activity. Moreover, being a
commander helps me better handle a group. To be specific, when I am joining scouting,
we are divided by crew. Also, when there is a team building activity, we are divided into
groups. Being a commander enables me to be a more effective and inspiring teammate
and leader.
Furthermore, it hinders me when I enter college, because most of my classmates
are responsible enough in every given task; occasionally, I get offended if the idea that I
suggested is not recognized; however, I do not take it personally and move on as soon
as possible. My personality is somehow beneficial to me, maybe because being a
commander also means being independent, and being independent means you can
make decisions on your own. Since decision-making is a crucial skill of a social worker,
I think it will be beneficial to me as soon as I start a job. For now, it helps me to choose
the best thing to do, learn how to manage my time wisely, and finish the given task
before the deadline. Furthermore, commanders are good at planning, which I have
noticed in myself: I want my things organized so that I can complete tasks and
household chores in a chronological order. 
This type of personality will assist me in completing paper work and ensuring that
the necessary communications run smoothly. As a commander, confidence is also
observed, and this will help me to overcome challenges, learn new skills, and seek out
opportunities, which I think will contribute to the growth of the organization or agency
where I am. Based on the result of my personality test, I am efficient, energetic, self-
confident, strong-willed, a strategic thinker, charismatic, and inspiring. These
characteristics are what I have also observed in myself based on what I have stated
above. I am also dominant, intolerant, and impatient, which happened when my
suggested idea was ignored or not recognized, Sometimes I get mad and become cold
to my co-members; however, I easily moved on as soon as I could. But we cannot deny
that this negative reaction may affect my relationship with my co-members, which will
hinder me in my future career, most especially in handling administrative functions. For
now, it is the part of me that I have to change.
