For the last two weeks Project Change 2010 has been doing Orientation and learning about "How to work in your work environment." ... Basically. Last Monday we met for the first time at Montgomery Community College ( our site for Project CHANGE meetings) and in addition to doing a few ice breaker exercises we learned a simpler version of the various personality categories and were given index cards and a work sheet of characteristics to figure out what category we each fit into.
These categories were by colors.Blue, Green, Gold and Orange. Blues were the people who feel that the most important thing is for everyone to get along and be happy. Greens are the ones who think and analyze problems and tasks in order to get through them. Golds are concerned with getting things done the way they are supposed to be done and following the rules that were given to them. Oranges not only have to follow the rules but they have to do everything perfectly.
The worksheet had us rank various adjectives based one what described us the best to what described us the least. At the end of it my main personality colors were equally split between Gold and Green.
Then we split off into our respective color groups and discussed how we function in a work environment and what traits in others make it difficult for us. Then we talked about it as a whole Project CHANGE unit.
On Wednesday the personality discussion continued except this time we talked with our respective supervisors( who had also taken done the same worksheet) about our differences and how we could use our personalities to accomplish things at work.
All in all it was interesting. Although, it is hard to not question yourself after so much self analysis....
More to Come!
