Self Evaluation – Rafael Reynoso

I consider myself a well-rounded person. There are little differences in my abilities wearing the hat of an explorer, judge, artist or warrior, but they are not that great. Rating my personality and work style from best to worst, the order would be: judge, warrior, artist and explorer. Being a judge is the strongest I have in my mixture of characters. I am good at rationing and making sure things are in correct order. The weakest area of being a judge is going back to think about what assumptions were made. I consider myself a respectable warrior, because when I start getting my ideas together I like to put them in action as soon as possible so that they don’t get lost. I put a tremendous amount of effort into my work and sometimes overdue, but not in a bad way. My weaknesses as a warrior is that overdoing work can cost some very valuable time. I make a decent artist in that I like to do work that is unique and not cliché. As an artist, I take too much time to think of something unique, so I consider that something that holds me back. I’m also a decent explorer, I have the ability to search for and gather information, but I don’t really like to do it. My trouble with being an explorer is not that I am not able to do it; rather, I don’t like it. I consider that a weakness for me as an artist.

To improve on my weakness as a judge, I will take a note of what assumptions are being made and make sure I read it at the end of my work. This will allow me to determine if the assumption was correctly made. I can be a better warrior, by making sure my work is concise enough to fit in the time frame given. To become a better artist, I can strategize by asking a more artistic person how they go about coming up with ideas. As an explorer, since I know I am capable of doing the work, I can try to make it enjoyable. All of this will help me by building on my strengths to become better no matter what hat I wear.
