In areas do yo demostrate weaknesses?how have these streghts and weaknesses impacted your experiences in school? how have they played a role in your decision to follow a particular career? have they influenced you socially in any way?

Answer 1

Based on Sternberg theory where he proposed 3 basic types of intelligence componential, experiential and contextual I find my profile best suited in componential and contextual intelligence.

Based on Gardner’s theory where he proposed 8 types of intelligence i found myself suited best in linguistic, logical, intrapersonal and interpersonal domains. I found myself weak in bodily-kinaesthetic, musical spatial and naturalistic domain.

Which is clear from my profile since I am someone who analysis the situations with small information’s to solve the problem.

My strong areas are public speaking, persuasion and convincing people, coming up with solution to problems by analysing it fully from grass root level, inspiring people to do things according to plan which is decided.

Weaknesses are I am not artistic or creative person, I am not good at sports or any other thing related to body movements like dancing etc and I am not in making friends. I can influence people t do work but not necessarily able to make friends from those people.

These strength helped me during my school time as I am orator many times i get selected for different competitions and cultural events, also I was given position of prefect, also my analytical skill help me in my studies.

These strengths helped me chose a career as i know i can influence people and also can speak in public so I choose to do journalism so that I can go in field further.

These things off course influenced me socially since these helped me to cut my deal with different people and in different cultural events and during many social occasions of daily life they help me to solve many problems.
