Personal traits and their value to a person

When taking the DISC test i was very critical of the outcome. I never thought that this test would actually pin point my exact personality and the way I think. The test revealed that i was a dominant conscientious, and I believe that this was correct. I am happy with this result, but i do wish that as my second trait I would be influential. I believe that being influential is very important if you are planning to mange other people. However I do not think this test gives a correct outlook on a person's managing style. I think a person with a dominant personality not always leads with this characteristic. People change everyday, and the only way to see who will be a good manager is to actually give the person some power over others.

My Future Goals

I am a very driven person, and I expect a lot in life. I work hard for my goals, and I always feel that although you cannot achieve perfection one should always try. At this stage of my life my clearest vision would be the carreer that I want to have. I see myself a few years after graduating working in a front office position, something like an investment banker or a trader of some sort. The way I am working to achieve my goal is by succeding first and foremost academicaly, by getting good grades. I am also networking, and looking for internships. I am par of numerous clubs and organizations, that will help me better package myself in order to acchieve this goal. My second goal in life is that of personal pleasure. I want to see the entire world. I want to trave and visit amazing cities and countries with long historical backgrounds, and beautiful landscapes. The castles in The Great Britain, the palaces in Paris, the pyramids in Egypt, Mexico, etc. My third goal is to settle down and have a very nice family. A loving wife, and healthy kids. Besides these goals my somewhat unrealistic goal is to live a life where money is not a problem. I hope by the job that I get that it will help achieve this goal, and this mission that sometimes creates so many problems in your personal life.
