How do you learn?
My scores for the VARK Questionnaire are as follows;
1.
Visual – 9
2.
Aural – 9
3.
Read/Write – 8
4.
Kinesthetic – 12
Yes. I agree with the results. I prefer to learn by doing the activity myself. That way, I can
easily notice the mistakes and correct them in the process. Therefore, usage of models and
following instructions on the manual as I use the product is preferred to listening to audios.
What is your communication style?
I am a passive communicator. I do not like to get into confrontations with other people. I also
prefer peaceful communication that is full of understanding and respect. Respecting each
other’s rights is an essential part of communication in my view. I also do not like to impose
my beliefs and conceptions on other people.
What implicit biases do you have?
1.
Gender-science IAT
I took the Gender-science IAT which reveals the link between liberal arts and females
and between science and males. After taking the test, the responses revealed a slight
automatic association for male with liberal arts and female with science. I do not
agree with the results. I tend to think that males are more associated with science
while females with liberal arts.
2.
Race IAT
The second IAT was Race IAT. The test helps to distinguish between European and
African origin faces. The results of the test revealed that I have moderate automatic
preference for white people over black people. I think that is wrong because myself I
am not a white person. I believe I am race neutral and not have a preferential race.
What is your conflict management style?
1.
Accommodating – it is about keeping peace instead of being right and prolonging the
conflict. Accommodating conflict management style is seen as a weak method of
resolving conflict and I do not agree with it.
2.
Avoiding – in avoiding, it aims to resolve conflict by ignoring it. Evading conflict is
not the right way to resolve conflict. I do not agree with it because it builds up
unresolved issues that may blow up eventually.
3.
Compromising – This style seeks for a middle ground where both parties accept some
level of fault. Accepting mistakes allows for a solution to be found. I like it because it
helps resolve conflicts quickly. In the end, there is an understanding on each other’s
perspective.
4.
Competing – this is my most preferred conflict management style. The style rejects
compromise and ensures one of the parties must concede to the other. In management,
it is prominent because it shows strength and will to lead people.
5.
Collaboration – collaboration Is long-term and seeks a win-win situation. In the end,
everyone is satisfied with the outcome of the resolution.

Introduction
It is difficult to identify bad behavior from a personal perspective. Most of the times, these
behaviors are noted by others. However, after a thorough analysis, the noted low performance
areas were poor conflict management style, overthinking, and lack of sufficient physical
exercise.
Develop low performing areas
To develop the low performing areas will require dedication. The first step is to attend a
leadership training and specifically base on conflict management at the workplace. The
training will provide simulations of real-world conflicts and how to handle them. My goal is
to shift from competing style to collaborating.
The overthinking aspect will require reading of books to gain different perspectives about
issues and life.

week. The objective is to develop these skills in a 3 months period. That is, by September
2023.
