This week’s discussion assignment was exciting since these types of tests can be a valuable resource for students and professionals. Taking these tests can provide insight and enhance self-reflection after reviewing the results. The emotional intelligence and mindfulness questionnaire provided insight into my awareness, understanding, and use of feelings and emotions in various circumstances. Although my overall sten score was deemed “competent,” I must admit I was slightly disappointed in my overall scores. Before taking this test, I assumed I would have some areas in the strong category. The “development” tips listed in the five domains are one way to improve my emotional intelligence and will be helpful at work and personally. One suggestion was to avoid doing things on autopilot and apply focus and awareness when performing tasks in the work environment. This is imperative when working as a professional in the forensic psychology field because paying attention to detail is a vital component of forensics. Another area that may benefit from my improvements is building support for decisions by listening to others’ views and feelings before planning. This is an essential aspect of forensic work because forensics requires teamwork to complete the job.
The CliftonStrengths test was slightly more challenging because there were questions that I needed clarification on. The insights I gained with this questionnaire were that I am considered an achiever, have balance, love learning, possess empathy, and am focus-driven. These results do not surprise me because I thrive on consistency and consider myself a planner. Understanding the results of these reports can improve self-awareness, which is essential for people to identify and connect emotions, thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and values. As a graduate student in forensic psychology, having these insights is imperative to understand and prepare for a career in this field. Forensics can be emotionally draining, leading to burnout and chronic stress. Understanding my emotions and strengths allows me to develop empathy and compassion for others while keeping myself grounded. Having this insight can also help me better understand my limitations and triggers, helping me set boundaries while maintaining professionalism in the forensic environment.
