Last week is a short working week for me as I was out for course for 3 days, yippie!!! The course I attended was on Project Leadership and management...sound "chim" right. It was a good course, very interactive and fun per say...not much of text book study but more on real life example.
One of the section is to understand yourself better. We are given a tool called SDI (Strength Deployment Inventory), basically we are filling up a form or questionaire by score, sum of the score, charts those scores to triangle chart and show what color are you in two situation: “fair weather” and“conflict situations"
The result are in terms of color. To give you a feel of it, there are 4 main colors with another 3 sub (mainly are mixed between 2 colors)
Red: These are assertive, goal focused people who take decisive action and are constantly on the lookout for opportunity.
Green: These tend to be cautious analytical people who judge carefully before acting. They are predominantly concerned with practicalities, fairness, weighing up the issues and using careful consideration before acting.
Blue: These are people-focused carers who consider the needs of others before their own. They are warm and friendly and will defend the rights of others over and above everything else.
Hub: This type of motivation is a combination of all three colours and reflects people who are adaptable, good at team building and able to see issues from a number of different viewpoints.
Base on analyisis:
I am a RED in normal situation but turn GREEN (Blue - Red) in conflict situation which means in conflict I will use basic of logic, order, rules and principles in initial stand of opposition. If pressed far enough, I will take one or another path: if it is important I will take up the fight, if it is unimportant, I will give in.
Hm...so far the analysis is quite precise...
so what color do you think you are?
