Ishka Sotelo Strengths

Adaptability

Understand that you can balance academic demands with social commitments, extracurricular activities, and part-time jobs. Describe how you managed to make progress on all fronts last week.

Follow your interests when choosing classes. Keep your options for a major open until you have explored several disciplines. Partner with an advisor who can help you accelerate your decision-making process to avoid additional tuition costs.

Surround yourself with individuals who, like you, pause to take in the world’s loveliness as it appears. Identify people who automatically put aside what they are doing to watch a sunset, listen to rustling leaves, or enjoy the arts.

What did these experiences teach you? Start a “right fit” career file. Each week, add an insight about how you used your Adaptability talent. Draw upon this information when writing résumés and preparing for job interviews.

Interview individuals who work in organizations where the work is experimental or discovery-oriented. Ask how each day assumes its own life. Take notes. Afterwards, look for recurring themes and behaviors these people share.

Deliberative

You are most comfortable in classes where you are well aware of expectations, where the discussions are serious, and where the time is used well. Before you enroll in a class, get the opinions of peers who have already taken the class.

If you work best alone, study on your own before engaging in group discussions. This will allow you to reinforce what you have learned with the group, without needing to rely on the group.

When taking a test, go through the questions slowly, concentrating on the ones you are most sure of first. Address the others later so that you have time to complete the exam.

You will be a good questioner of actions, helping others to think through their decisions before moving ahead too quickly.

Work in organizations and roles in which you can be independent.

Individualization

Note how your style of learning, studying, writing papers, and taking tests compares to others. You will learn about some of the natural differences between people.

Constantly observe those around you, seeing how your talents make you similar to each other, yet different.

Read, read, read about people. Their uniqueness fascinates you.

Writing a novel would allow you to fully develop the uniqueness of each character.

Counseling could be a fulfilling role for you. Your ability to see people as distinct individuals will empower them and help them grow.

Developer

Reflect back to what you have learned from a certain professor and how that has impacted you in your life.

Identify a few classmates on whom you can rely to be your study partners.

Choose a major that highlights your ability to develop the talents of others, such as education or psychology.

Consider a career in counseling, human resources, teaching, or management. You have a talent for noting people’s progress and for helping them become even better at what they do.

You will be most satisfied in a career that provides some type of service to people or in which organizational success is based on interpersonal relationships and your ability to help people be successful.

Intellection

Take time to think and plan before writing a paper or performing an assignment.

Make your education even more effective by following your intellectual curiosity. As you allow yourself to ask the questions that naturally come to you, you will refine your approach to learning and studying.

Read and collect books that pique your curiosity.

Choose a work environment that matches your most productive thinking environment. If you think best when it’s quiet, choose a quiet work environment. If working with others stimulates your thinking, choose to work in a team environment.

Choose work that will challenge you intellectually.
