The test result I got for myself was Cd, which according to the professor this is the type that is considered as a creative managerial style that your left brain and right brain work together. I definitely agree there is indeed some quality of me, as a person, relates to creativity. Part of my part time job I have been doing now is jewelry design and making; this may not necessarily relates to management but I think it implies the probability that if I manage a business, I possibly would be a creative type of manager. I think the test result certainly reflects some aspect of my personal profile, but I think the importance of this test is to make you to realize your advantage and the fields you are bad at; even if the result mismatches you complete it still makes you think about your managerial type that you probably have never thought of.
I don’t really agree a simple test can determine the traits of a complex human being and his/her behaviors but I do believe it will help us in the ways we are doing managerial jobs.

My short-term Vision
The visions or goals I thought right away after I read the topic assignment were three. They may not be really a huge blueprint for my life, but at least from my prospective view, for now they are what I’m planning to do or already been striving for. They three visions are related to my career, my language skill and something to do with a music instrument.
The most important thing so far I want to achieve certainly relates to my major: accountancy. Like many people, passing the CPA exam and acquiring an accounting license would be most desirable. First step for me to achieve this goal is trying to graduate before May 2009 which is the time that the rule of CPA exam will be altered. Nevertheless, this is something I have to count on with the luck whether the college grants me the permission to take the accounting course during this summer as soon as possible (they said they will be giving permission after April the 9th, but I’m afraid that by then their won’t be any spot available). If not so, I have to take master degree which I’m planning to do it whatever I can graduate before next Spring or not, but doing that might be much more time consuming to take CAP exam. In addition, not only graduate soon, in my opinion the quality has to be outstanding too, which means graduate with real accounting knowledge in my head. Although many people say really experience is from actual working, but I would argue learning from school gives you a strong base to let you gradually keep continuing upgrading your excellence with your working experience in certain area. Therefore, study hard is crucial, and if time allows me, reading extra books or magazines that relates to business or accountancy will be beneficial as well.
Next is about my Japanese studying and pass the level 1 (highest level) Japanese proficiency test. Although English is my second language as well I am not really worry about it since I’m studying in this country which English is the major language. I learned Japanese since junior high school back to the time where I was living in China and I think if I stop learning it would be a real loss and I will be regret later. Besides, to be a multilingual is always advantageous and sometimes indisputably beneficial, and this is the reason why I’m studying Japanese as a minor in Baruch even now. However, as far as I’m concerned, living in a country where the native language is the one you want to learn makes you master the language faster and much more accurate in terms of usage of the language and sounding more accurate pronunciation (someone may argue pronunciation is not really important, but come one, you cannot say you speak the language if other people cannot understand what you are saying.). So, I am planning to move to Japan for few years someday, and while I am still mastering in accountancy in the States, passing the proficiency test will be my first step. How to make it happen? Study hard. (And my extracurricular I normally reading Manga in Japanese or watching Japanese dramas with English or Chinese subtitle if it is the first time I’m watching.)
The last thing and maybe the least vision of the three I’m having so far is that comes up in my head is to acquiring the ability to play a fluent guitar (acoustic not electric). I play guitar sometimes with the only few songs that I know how to play, but I really would like to start from mastering as many chords as possible which would make learning easier.
Another thing I want to mention about maybe not really included in my vision, but I want to become a more socialized person. I admit I am not a really outgoing person, but I think I can learn a lot from other people through conversations or interactions. So trying to make more friends and build up my social net work can be a good supporting element to any of my vision. Therefore, I have been trying to change my personality a little bit. To do this, I think communication is important, to talk to your classmates, your co-works (if they don’t find me annoying) more often can be a good way in my point of view.
