According to the test, I was a high C, but there was a tie in my second highest between D and S. I do see some accuracy in this test, but how much I cannot say. The Conscientiousness factor does play much to my meticulous nature: my attention to detail, diplomatic attitudes, systematic rationale, and subtle preferences in terms in conflict. The personal profile also lists some of my weaknesses as well. Sometimes I do rely on someone to delegate important tasks, make quick decisions, state unpopular decisions, and encourage teamwork. Well, this is mostly because I'm quite lazy in nature. I would strongly prefer not dealing with unnecessary and annoying details. It takes an unusual amount of stress and chaos for me to break out of this shell. I have no problem taking a more dominant and direct approach in leading and managing, I just prefer not to.
Well conscientiousness does a fair job in describing a good portion of my work ethics, but I think dominance and steadiness do well in describing my work attitude. Although I can be quite lazy, I absolute loathe the idea of mediocrity and performing merely at average. Some might say that I symptoms of being a perfectionist, but I think that I'm a little too cocky and confident in my own abilities. I know that eventually this would lead me to my downfall. I'll either set the bar too high that I can no longer meet the expectation of others or I'd kill myself to achieve the goals. All of this shows implications of dominance because I often try to get immediate results, constantly accept challenges, always questioning the status quo, and I constantly try to cause action.

Goals for tomorrow
I apologize for the blog being so late for I've been preoccupied with somethings. Anyways, that Vision video from class was somewhat silly, it does bring up some great points. Clear and focused vision is something that is definitely needed for ones future. A quarter of my life is already over (assuming that I live to over 80) and I felt like I've gotten nothing done. It's about time to start setting some realistic goals in order to put things into better perspective. These goals should be both professional and personal. They should aim to encompass an array of experiences that would definitely enrich my life. These goals should also aim to put me in a better state of being than I am right now. After careful consideration for this assignment, I've come up with these goals:
1. Graduate and pass the CPA
2. Lose the beer gut and get my 6-pac back
3. Move to California
4. Work for large company or government and climb the ranks
I've organized these goals in order of importance, but it just so happens that they are also in sequential order as well. My most important goal as of now is to graduate and pass the CPA exam. That is exactly the reason why I'm in school and currently I'm doing everything to accomplish this. I can't say that I'd imagine myself doing accounting or auditing work for the rest of my life. I intend to use this as a means to a more entrepreneurial road. Secondly, I do intend to get my back my abs of steel. I must say that the discovery of beer in addition to bad eating and sleeping habits have definitely attributed to most of these added pounds. A good amount of discipline would definitely be required to keep my hedonistic ways at bay. The last two goals are somewhat tied together. The world too large a place to spend all my life in NYC. I'm at the point where I feel suffocated in this city and a change of scenery is definitely needed. This is why I plan to pack my bags, head out west, and start my life there. Hopefully from there, I would be able to find a job that would give me opportunities to travel, maybe even work in another country. With the way things are currently going in the US economy, I wouldn't mind at all if I were paid in Euros.
Well these are the most realistic goals I can think of right now. I honestly didn't know whether to approach this assignment with a slight sense of sarcasm and cynicism. I wanted to say that one of my goals was become the CEO of my own company, a business that revolved around my dumpling franchise. I would one day open up dumpling shacks all over the world and sell them at a modest 25 cents per dumpling/wonton. Whose to say that my current goals aren't building up to my farfetched dream? I can only take things a step at a time and for now, these goals are more than enough to keep me busy.
