My Personality based on a Company's Predictive Index Test.

Last week I had to take a PI test from a company to evaluate my personality for a job and here's the result that I've gotten...

Strongest Behavior

Calvin's PI Pattern has a very narrow width, so his behaviors are moderate in their expression.

While moderate, Calvin will most strongly express the following behaviors:

  • Relatively quick in connecting to others; he's reasonably open and sharing of himself. Builds and leverages relationships to get work done.
  • Fluent, enthusiastic, and comparatively frequent in communication; a motivator who pays attention to others' point of view.
  • Collaborative; works with and through others. focused on team cohesion, dynamics and interpersonal relations.
  • Productivity in driving to reach his goals while moving in a faster-than-average pace. Inquisitive about the world around him.
  • Relatively independent in taking action on his own ideas. Resourcefully works around most obstacles blocking completion of what he wants to accomplish.
  • Eager of results, his drive is for swift implementation. He works best in fast-paced environments offering a variety of activities, rather than routines.
Summary

Calvin is a very congenial, friendly communicator, affable, poised, capable of projecting enthusiasm and warmth, and motivating others.

An intense person, he works at a fast pace with emphasis on getting things done by working cooperatively with and through people. He understands people well, and uses that understanding effectively in motivating and persuading others to do what needs to be done to achieve the organization's goal.

Calvin is a dedicated team worker who will dependably function within the framework of plans and policies decided upon and expressed by company management. He is collaborative by nature, and works to control risks by ensuring input from others on decisions that are outside of established policies. When making such unusual, or risk decisions, he will work with trusted advisors, subject-matter experts, or management leadership to make a well-accepted, well-researched decision.

Calvin derives satisfaction from bringing out of the best in others and takes pride in contributing to the business' success in that way. at ease and self-assured with groups, Calvin is capable of selling the company's policies and values. While he will delegate subordinates, he will also follow up closely and carefully and in a friendly and helpful manner.

Quick and accurate in handling details as long as they are only an intermittent aspect of his work, he will become impatient and less effective if frequently required to work with repetitive routines.

Management Style
As a manager of people or projects, Calvin will be:

  • Focused on guiding his team to achieve predetermined company goal, in a friendly, driven, and proactive manner
  • Amenable to delegating authority and details to trusted employees; his follow-up will be quick, helpful, and close ensuring that both his personal standards and company's standards have been followed and met.
  • Proactive in bringing his ideas forward; takes action on them only after gaining agreement with key colleagues and/or proof that they'll be successful.
  • Collaborative in approach; he's eager to gather input from others, and is open to their viewpoints, but will be unlikely to go against proven solutions.
  • Cautious with risky decisions; he will defer to management, colleagues, or trusted advisors to mitigate risk and ensure agreement before moving forward.
  • A lively, positive, and genuine company spokesperson.

Selling Style
As a salesperson, Calvin will be:

  • Congenial and persuasive - focused on building a solid, trusting relationship with his customers - concerned about saying and doing the right thing.
  • Motivated in working with and through others to facilitate the sale; confident in his abilities to persuade and influence others when following a proven sales method.
  • Thoughtful in what he does, says, and communicates to the prospect - concerned about risking the relationship; cautious not to over-commit.
  • Sincere - will speak and present information in a logical and organized manner.
  • Confident in selling in ways that are proven to work; reluctant to 'think on his feet,' preferring to be well prepared and follow a predefined plan.

Management Strategies
To maximize his effectiveness, productivity, and job satisfaction, consider providing Calvin with the following:

  • Clear defination of his responsibility, authority, and organizational relationships
  • Specific training in his job.
  • Opportunities of involvement, interaction, and communication with people as a major aspect of his work.
  • Assurance of support and guidance of management, trusted advisors, or his team, particularly during periods of change or new developments.
  • Social and status recognition as reward for achievement and demonstrated of team spirit.

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry folks. Been really busy for me to drop anything fresh or new in this blog here, so this will be just a quick update.

Work is killing me during the weekdays and guess what? Singapore is trying to pull me over to work on some stuff again. Work is already pouring all over me here in Malaysia and going to Singapore isn't going to help me one bit. Somehow I need to synchronize my work between these 2 countries. If only I have an assistant but too bad, the company said, there will not be another hire of my position for the next 3 years. My god, It's not even 3 months and I am already feeling the pinch =.="

Oh well, apart from the workload, the colleagues here has been great. Both in KL Office as well as in Singapore office. That's the only thing that kinda kept me going. Else I would have thrown a fit already :p

Oh I've updated some songs into my playlist, so feel free to check them out k?
Cheers

New Job for a New Year

As most of you have known, I have resigned from Prudential last month and hence for further information, I have joined a new company yesterday. The company's name is Wappsol Solutions. Sorry I was supposed to blog about my first yesterday but unfortunately I was kinda packed with briefings and I did not bring my camera along to take pictures.

Yea you know being a freshie is not easy and thus I can't just simply waltz around with my huge ass DSLR in a new office right? LOL So what was my solution? Aaahhh the power of Camera Phones.... Human are such great species huh? :p

Ok Ok. Let's start. When I first came in the company, I was presented with a Notebook. Well it's not a new one. My guess is somewhere a year to 2 years old. But it's all good. I mean I don't really mind about it. As long as I have something to do my work I'm all good. :)

Photobucket
Can anyone guess what wallpaper is that? wahahaha

Then came to my surprise, I was given a BIG 22" LCD monitor to plug my notebook in. I asked why am i given a monitor, they told me so it was easier for me to work and see. Aww.... I'm being spoiled. Real bad some more

Photobucket
Cool huh?

I was also given a set of wireless keyboard and mouse yayy.... First time I've ever owned one of these gadgets...

Oh yes I'm also given a set of headphones so I could listen to music while I'm working :P

Photobucket
How cool is that huh? hehe

I never thought I would be given so much though. But yea there's always good and bad that comes around any situations. Good points for me are I'm given such comfort in my workplace, Gadgets and the place I'm being seated. Real secluded so I have enough privacy to blog.

The bad side of it is really petty. I don't have my own set of stationery :( I don't have a rubbish bin. Somehow their stocks ran out hahaha. The pantry is SUPER small!!! Umm... guess that's all Wahahahahaha...

Photobucket
My entire workspace.

First day was good, with all the briefing and and laying out of work. I could see that a lot is being expected of me and yes I could see that there's a lot of things that needed to be straighten out and work on. Implementations and deployments... the usual. First day already put a but pressure on me already lol but it's all good. It's a good pressure thing. :p

New work environment and new colleagues, it's a new start where I have to work on my EBA (Emotional Bank Account) with all of them again. Took me 2 years to work on a good EBA basis with people in Prudential, guess it'll be the same here as well. I do miss my old work mates; but well, like I said before, Good things do come and go. It's merely how we treasure them and keep in touch that really matters. :P

Alrighty, next up would be my Resolutions for the new year! Ermm... keeping my fingers crossed that I would have drafted them out first :p Cya!
