My ethical lens inventory report showed me my preferred ethical lens, blind spot, strengths and weaknesses, and my values and the resultant behavior. My preferred ethical lens revealed that I am “none” periscope or paralysis I am in the center or the grid. As I was reading what this meant, I was saying to myself, “Oh yes that is me or yes I tend to do that a lot. ” As I was reading the results, I learned a little more about myself. For example, that I can adapt the right tools to each circumstance to ensure the best result.
I never knew there were tools to solve real life problems. I learned that those tools are not physical, they are in my mind, and they help me determine what the best way to solve a situation is. Something that I already knew about myself was that I like to be fair to everyone around me. I am the type of person who will please everyone around me to whatever they need or want. One thing that caught my attention was that it said at times I could be paralyzing by my ability, and this causes me to be desperate to please everyone.
This ability gets me into trouble sometimes because is impossible to please everyone. My results for my blind spot revealed that I have no blind spot. This means that I am can see everything around each lens; the good and the bad. Part of ethical maturity. Something else that I learned with this assignment is about my strength and weaknesses. The only weakness I have is adapting to change. I never knew I had this kind of trouble in life, but I learned about something I have to work on. After analyzing it I realize it is a problem.
Because I get nervous when I start meeting new or when I get stuck doing something I cannot do, I start to get frustrated. After learning this about myself, I need to work on making my weakness into strength by adapting to any type of changes in my life. My strengths included following instructions and adhering to values. I am very good when I have instructions in front of me as I build something new or when I have an assignment. Following instructions is my biggest strength in my life because it is something I use every day.
Adhering to values is something new that I learned about myself Just cause I never noticed it in my life. I am the type of person who will stand by the truth in every situation around my. My values and the resultant behaviors I had difficulty locating on my results, but I have many values. Some of my values include autonomy and equality. I do treat people around me equal and believe that everyone is equal. Even though I am married, I like to be very independent with my life. I tend to do everything by myself, and there are times that I need help, but I refuse to ask for it and Just deal with it.
After finishing this assignment, I learned different things about myself that I did not know before. I used to ask myself why I am so sensitive to everything, why I go out of my way to please someone, or why do I get scared when something new arises in my life. The assignment gave me the answers to my questions because I have a little bit of all the four lenses inside me. I do not only see one solution to a problem I see many but also when it comes to a change in my life, I do not see a solution for anything I get stuck and do not know what to do.
