Gold and Green
So I went to a stress management workshop last week, and it was very enlightening. We did the true colors thing, which I have done before and I was blue. Perfect color for education and counselors! So I did this test again and scored as Gold, with Green being one point behind. This is what I learned about myself…
Things that stress me out:
- incomplete tasks
- disorganization
- irresponsibility
- lack of direction
- not being in charge
- a person’s inability to use knowledge
- lack of recognition for abilities
Sound familiar? I think so…
Strengths that I have:
- realistic
- decisive
- dependable, steady
- following through
- look ahead
- set high standards
- hear complex problems/issues
- at best when given challenges
I would say I have to agree with that too. Now to the good stuff…
Clues I am stressed out:
- Anxiety and Worry
- Depression/fatigue
- judgment of self/others
- indecisiveness
- aloof/withdrawn
- snob/put people down
- silent treatment
- perfectionism
- highly critical of self/others
And last but not least…
Potential Weaknesses:
- make quick decisions
- impatient with delays/complications
- don’t easily show sensitivity
- elitist
- impatient with people i don’t see as competent
It may sound weird, but it’s nice to know that there are other crazy people out there just like me. And it makes a lot of sense when I get so frustrated for not knowing something, or when people believe ridiculous things.
I am glad I did that and went to that session. It made me much more self aware and gave me hints into cues that I am stressed out.
