Survey Results
Defining issues test:
My pattern leaned toward principal reasoning, weighing fairness and context rather than
just following rules. I agree with this, as I usually tend to ask “why” and think about
broader consequences.
Tolerance of Ambiguity:
My results reflected higher tolerance, meaning I am comfortable with uncertainty and
incomplete information. I agree, since I generally adapt well when plans are not fully
clear.
Core-Self Evaluation test:
The survey showed high-moderate to high scores, reflecting confidence, self-efficacy,
and emotional stability. I agree with this assessment as it matches how I view myself for
the most part.
Personal Stress test:
The highest stress was from finances, with lower levels from school and rowing. I agree
that finances cause the highest stress in my life, as that is what I wrote on the paper so
of course I agree with it.
Flourishing Test:
My total for this test was 46, which is well above average and indicates strong
physchological well-being, life satisfaction, and a sense of purpose. I agree with this,
because even when I am stressed I still feel positive overall about my relationships,
growth, and direction
LOC:
My total was a 6, close to average for graduate students. This indicates a fairly internal
locus of control – I generally believe outcomes are shaped by my choices and effort. I
agree with this, since I usually feel responsible for results, though I recognize some
things are outside my control.
Type A:
My scores were: Competitiveness: 14, Life imbalance: 12, Hostility/anger: 12,
impatience/urgency: 15. All of these are above the threshold for being noticeable,
especially impatience. I agree that I am competitive and driven, and do sometimes get
impatient, but I do disagree slightly with the “hostility” label, as I view myself more as
restless and ambitious than angry.
Burnout:
My scores show moderate emotional exhaustion, some depersonalization when
overwhelmed, and no strong reduction in personal accomplishment. Overall, this
suggests I sometimes feel stretched but still see myself as effective. I agree with this, as
it matches how I feel when my workload gets heavy, but I do not believe I am “burned
out”.
Big 5: My pattern indicated high conscientiousness, moderate-high extraversion, solid
agreeableness, moderate openness, and lower neuroticism. I agree with most of these,
especially being organized and outgoing.
