Use APA citations and references if you use ideas from the readings or other sources. For this week’s portfolio activity, please advise the instructor of the following: Discuss your strengths and weaknesses regarding your quantitative skills. Are there any quantitative skills that you are struggling with? Please let your instructor know how you feel as you begin the course and if you have any concerns as we move forward. This activity will be assessed using the Portfolio rubric. Response Quantitative skills refer to the ability to examine numerical data and solve mathematical problems. Individuals who may possess such skills are found to be quite useful in the workplace and these skills are valuable, convenient and beneficial in recognizing styles that can inspirations and or guidance toward making excellent business decisions . It is the process of gathering information from existing and potential customers by sampling methods and the distribution of online surveys, questionnaires, online polls, and so on. The results of these polls or surveys are represented numerically. I am An Administrative Assistant by Profession at the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), previously I worked as a secretary at the Ministry of Health, throughout my career, I have observed and noticed the skills that I have acquired and developed as well as where I am weak. As it relates to some of my strengths of Quantitative Skills, I would say is that these skills allow me to offer as well as deliver the formulation of statistically sound. Also, it allows me to evaluate data in terms of numerical information exceptionally fast and accurately. Thirdly, it creates a form of systematic comparisons among other relevant and appropriate standards Whilst my Weaknesses of Quantitative skills Here are some of the weaknesses of quantitative research: The quantitative method reveals what and to what extent but often fails to answer more on why and how.
This type of research requires the model performance to be monitored on a constant basis in order to ensure its compliance with the original hypotheses. The impression of homogeneity in a sample may turn out to be fake in this method. This method involves a limited number of Quants supply and also involves complex disciplines which are hard to master. If I therefore understand quantitative skills correctly it would be skills that are based in general mathematics I have always been good with numbers and I prefer working with numbers over having to write reports etc. I believe that being able to figure out a math problem helps with analysing problems we face in our daily lives as this also requires reasoning. In this also lies a general weakness in that the last time I formally used these skills in a schoolling sense was a very long time ago. Manipulating numbers in a basic sense is not a problem but beyond the basics might be a challenge. I have and could however complete all the math required in my degree program. I have been in management at various levels for a long time and a strength has been my ability to problem solve. Problem solving in essence is reasoning, a way of manipulating the facts so that you have a positive resolution. I have been in the business of reasoning extensively for over 30 years now. One of my strengths in this area is that I am always a willing student, being able to learn new matters and a positive outlook to take on new challenges.
