This is going to be a wonderful year at TTU. We're going to have so much fun and learn so much during this exchange! Thanks to all who met today for the reading group and shared such interesting perspectives on the readings!
Please enjoy the upcoming readings without pressure, as we are really here to enjoy the company and to discuss select elements of the reading that we might apply through new lenses of our academic partnerships.
In America, people often take personality tests which analyze which sorts of behaviors they exhibit. Are these tests popular in China? One popular test is the JUNG personality test, which is available to take free online. You can find one here: http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/personality/start.php. (These are just for fun. As the author of this website says, "This is not a diagnostic personality instrument, and you should not take these results as anything other than as entertainment or for one's own personal growth and education.") I find this quite amusing, and the results are related to Managing Cultural Differences Chapter 2. Please don't feel you must share your results if you take this test. I have posted my results below. (Results are explained at the end of the test.) I believe my results are the result of my cultural upbringing.
The chart on page 116 relates to Sungbum's discussion about global, glocal, and local thinking. Maybe in our next meeting, we can discuss what we believe it means to be global leaders and which character attributes contribute to the most successful examples of global leadership. In other words, what character traits do we most want to teach our students to have as they enter the global workforce?
