Part-1 Choose
4-6 Dimensions and describe them in your own words
1-Based on my CMI result I would like to describe four
Dimensions about myself. One of the Dimensions that is part of me is Indirect communication
I prefer indirect communication because I feel more comfortable. Direct
communication means you prefer to deliver your message clear and obvious to
make listener understand your point while indirect communication means you put
the listener in a situation that he/she has to read between the lines
2-Expression has two polarities Conceal and Reveal.
Concealing expression means to hide
emotions and not sharing it with others while revealing means to show and have
the ability to express true emotions with others.
3-Decision
making is either
based on relationship or rules. Relationship decision making means you take
action or decide something based on the relationship with the person. Your good
relationship with him/her might make you agree or approve on a decision only
because of the relationship with the person. Rule decision making means you
have no choice to decide or not in fact you are following rules and deciding
based on the rules applied in your environment.
4-Accountability
polarities are
Community and Individual. Community accountability means you would tend to feel
accountable first and foremost to your family, tribe, group of clans, or the
nation that you come from. Individual accountability you feel first and
foremost accountable to yourself for your opinions and life direction where you
have more freedom.
Part-2
Describe what you learnt from questionnaire result, saying if you agree with
the result or not and why?
1-Comparing
to my group the majority of them are unlike me, they seem to be
Direct-oriented. It is very important for me to use indirect communication
with my group which actually matches the CMI result and I definitely agree because
I learnt and believe using indirect communication with my group increase the
relationship strength and keep it smooth since we all need each other,
especially in college material.
2-My Expression
to things always taciturn which means I’m concealing-oriented. I can say from
the CMI report that I’m more comfortable with concealing approach to expression
which is true as well as the group and I believe that is because our culture.
We can’t express things that bring shame and dishonor to us that’s why it is
difficult for Emiratis to express emotions. When it comes to my college group I
also have to be concealing because showing and expressing my hardships or even
my criticism about the courses and teachers may frustrate and make student lose
their enthusiasm which in turn affect the group performance and grades.
3-Decision
making, For me when I
have to make a decision the relationship guide me to my decisions not rules
which matches my CMI result and I agree because I’m a sensitive person and I take my relationship in deep consideration. What
I learnt from this dimension that I can know myself and my characters better now
than ever. Comparing to my group I see that there are two majorities one is learned
to appreciate and in some situations incorporate a more relationship approach
while the second seem to be both and decide based on their environment and
situation they are in.
4-In Accountability,
based on the result I’m more community-oriented I tend to feel accountable first
and foremost to my family, which is true and I agree with that because I don’t
act based on my desire I see first my family priority if the action accepted.
Part-3 Do
you think your result will be different in 5 years’ time? Why/ Why not? would
you like some dimension to change? Why?
Yes I believe
some of my results will be different in 5 years, because my results was based
on my current life situation, I’m still single, jobless and taciturn. I believe
when I get married one of my dimension will change which is expression. I believe
I will be more revealing in expression especially with my wife whom I actually
need and in turn it may sustain my relationship with her. When I get a job I believe
my Decision making polarity will switch to be more Rules-Oriented because I will
be following who is higher than me in position may be a boss or a manager as
well as for my communication way, I’m indirect but I believe in future I’m
going have to be more direct especially when I receive order form my boss and
ask me to apply the order on the staff then I have to be direct regardless the
relationship with staff.
I would like
some of dimensions to be changed like Connecting and Relationship because both
are somehow close in definition. Being inclusive is more likely to be universal
in relationship because being inclusive sometimes means building more
relationships which is the same intent when someone is universal in
relationship.
