Emely Arenas CLC 120 Final Project by Emely Arenas

Myers Briggs

earenas2_3 — 2024-12-05 15:25:28 UTC

The assessment is designed to create self-awareness among participants about personalities based on preferences, strengths, weaknesses, and compatibility with others. It propels towards self-discovery regarding thoughts, behaviors, and ways of communicating. It helps them understand themselves better, keeping in mind various situations that will accelerate their choices of careers, build relations, and bring clarity and confidence in facing any given problems. I found that I was INFP the first time I did this assessment. I was INFP but the second time I was INFJ. It showed me how much I can change within a year or two.

Learning Styles

It helped me understand there are only really three different types of learning that go hand in hand. I've also realized that most classes are based on auditory being lectures and visuals being PowerPoints. I've realized that I'm more of a visual and kinesthetic learner. When it comes to auditory, it usually goes from one ear to the other.

Sleep

It helped me understand how important sleep is, especially with college and work. I was always told that at our age we should be getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep but in reality it was 9-10 hours. As of lately, I've only gotten 5 to 7 hours of sleep but knowing I need more to function correctly wants me to fix my sleep schedule for next semester and during winter break.

Time Management

It helped me find different ways that I could manage my time better, such as eat the frog, pomodora technique, and Eisenhower technique. It also showed me the difference between time management in high school and college. In college, we are required to learn effective time management skills to complete assignments and study. While in high school, I feel like we kind of just went with the flow and weren't taught how to manage our time.

Motivation

It helped me understand the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and showed me what I am motivated by mostly. It showed me that I am more intrinsic; for example, I am motivated to improve my skills and I am motivated by exercising to feel good. It also helped me come up with the topic of my paper and in making my survey for psychology.

HM

Learning about HM made me realize the importance of something small in our brain that can affect our lives. I really enjoyed learning about how we learned how important the hippocampus is and the risk that was taken to learn about this information.

Note Taking

earenas2_3 — 2024-12-05 15:31:55 UTC

It has shown me all the ways I could study and also figure out what works for me the best. It helped me learn ways I could take notes because in high school I would usually just write down the information given to us on the board but that never really helped. I feel like giving each note-taking technique in class has helped me know what works for me.

Stress

earenas2_3 — 2024-12-05 15:33:30 UTC

Learning about the two types of stress, one being eustress (good stress) and distress (bad stress), has made me think about my eustress a lot more. For instance, exercising, pursuing further education, and working help me improve my skills.

Real vs. Ideal Self

earenas2_3 — 2024-12-05 15:38:35 UTC

Understanding and figuring out what my real and ideal self are has given me a sense of self-awareness of what I should work on to become my ideal self. For instance, I want to be more emotional, ambitous, and cheerful rather than being reserved and quiet.

Finances

earenas2_3 — 2024-12-05 15:38:57 UTC

Understand the importance of real-world finances and what I could do to better my finances. I really liked the 50, 30, 20 method and time value of money. As well, having a grasp of credit cards because I am currently looking to get one soon but there are a lot of options and having knowledge of what and what to do now helps shorten the list of options
