WHATBeing a Marshmallow (weakness)-Signature SkillI got 14 out of 15 for Part B of Manager Weaknesses Questionnaire. My score is above the 10.0 mean score and in the top quartile. However, the higher score means that I tend to over-nurture people and take on responsibilities to cover for the mistakes of others.1 For instance, I knew that my high school classmate had a problem with laziness, but every time she complained about too much homework, and how awful the school schedule was, I always agreed with a nod and never told her that maybe she needs to improve her time management. I am physically and mentally unable to refuse and tell the truth if it will make others feel unhappy or embarrassed. I decided this skill to be my signature skill because making right decisions without worrying about people’s feelings is such an important lesson worth me to spend more time on it.Deliberate Practice (strength)I got 28 out of 30 for the Deliberate Practice Questionnaire. My score is higher than the 22.3 mean score and in the top quartile. Evidently, the higher score interprets that I can effectively use deliberate practice skills to master my academic tasks, and I know how to transfer and apply those skills to other areas of my life.2 For example; I started to learn playing the piano when I was four years old. I practiced everyday for one and one-half an hour, and every Saturday my piano teacher would assign my homework and check my last task. She stopped me every time I played the wrong button and waited for me to repeat the same part until I completely righted the error. I successfully passed the 10th level of piano examination when I was 12. Though the learning process is very long and tedious, I believe practice makes the perfect.Vision (weakness)I got 19 out of 24 for the Vision Questionnaire. My score is below the 21.1 mean score and in the bottom quartile. A lower score means that I tend to be a doer because I can effectively implement action. However, I cannot provide a meaningful idea. I am a hard worker and focus on my job, but I need to make a special effort to express and engage people in the team’s purpose and vision.3 Group work is the best example to reflect my weakness. I tend to perform better when the leader assigns me the job. Otherwise, I have no clue where to start.
