An Investigative Report of

THE TOP FIVE STRENGTHS The top strengths are assessed via Assessio International AB, which utilizes the latest research in work psychology and verified science.

The first made test was MINT. This test measures personality characteristics that indicate whether one's orientation is primarily towards work tasks (Task orientation) or work relationships (Interpersonal orientation), or equally towards both.

Nevertheless, Claudia's results displayed as a worktask orientated, a dedication to completing assignments, and a strong willingness to take on responsibility. Task-oriented individuals tend to prioritize getting involved in work tasks and how they should be carried out over social activities and workplace relationships. They are likely to be more driven to complete work tasks as planned and on schedule.

The leadership testing occurred via interviews, and the sampling frame consisted of sixteen executives from global companies. (Sydänmaanlakka, 2001, p.72)

The second made test, MAP, measures personality traits. The MAP test is based on a five-factor model, the most modern, the most competent, and an evidence-based personality measurement model.

These qualities vary from person to person and are essential in work environments. Nonetheless, Claudia's five traits results were following:

The second-best average point obtained is interpersonal competence. This competence describes a person's ability to communicate positively in stressful situations; express openly and honestly her thoughts and feelings to others in an emphatic way. It means that this competence able to communicate efficiently (including body language); communicate clearly, precisely, consistently open to new ideas and within many channels. Interpersonal, analytical competence is essential for identifying, analyzing, and solving problems under various situations, such as influencing for leading toward the organizational goals. ' Third, emotional competence is the capacity to be emotionally intelligent and the ability to understand own limits, learn from mistakes, and stay calm and humble even at moments of success.

Also, the efficiency and wellness dimensions are linked to the physical, mental, social, and for some individuals and perform well in their work and support their individual development in other areas. (Sydänmaanlakka, 2001, p.109-127)

1.Reconciliation - Confident, warm and caring attitude to others.

2.Conscientiousness - Determined, systematic, logical, internally motivated to perform and work hard.

3.Balance - Quantified, confident, hardly influenced by the environment.

4.Outward Orientation - Outward, energetic and socially dominant, a great need for stimuli from the outside world.

5.Transparency - Investigative and unusual; needs emotional experiences and is open to them.

The third made test base on the Ph.D. thesis of Sydänmaanlakka Pentti. The thesis studies leadership phenomena through multiple theories (69 in total) and developed a framework for organizations. The conducted research is empirical, where gathered data was qualitative and quantitative for deductive reasoning and testing purposes.

The best average point obtained by Claudia in the assessment tool was the self-confidence section, which is the most important, and there are two reasons for that. Firstly, it is correlated highly to all other skills. Secondly, it seems to have a vital role when developing other skills. An individual should have enough good self-esteem to enable the development of different skills.

WORK EXPERIENCE 1.2. – 1.3.2021

The training consisted of various HR-related programs, which were assigned tasks.

MARKETING PROJECT

The Marketing Project was through school where Claudia had the opportunity to perform as a marketing leader.

The most fun part of this traineeship was to create content via Photoshop and Illustrator and focus on space improvement design. The idea was to improve spaces and add symbols with vinyl cutter stickers designs for people guiding purposes and advertising on social media. Nonetheless, the list can keep going. However, the work was focused on space improvement and interior marketing purposes.
