Method of Study
The feedback process included analyzing characteristics from the frameworks studied during
the class and by discussing results among the group members. Analyzing results of several
frameworks also ensured that some personal traits featured more than once in several
frameworks and helped in laying down a structured development plan.
Identification of Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
1 Confidant
2 Handle Stress
3 Motivator
4 Team Player
5 Responsible

Areas of Improvement:
1. Impatient
2. Not an initiator

Firo-B model
The FIRO-B can help to determine how good one fits in various situations and work
environments and with various people. As per the activity in class, my expressed needs for
inclusion and control and affection were as shown in the table. I mapped those against what I
felt were my wanted needs for inclusion, control and affection to come to this table.
Inclusion

Control

Affection

Expressed Needs

Medium

Medium

Low

Wanted Needs

Low

High

Medium

I personally feel inclusion expressed and wanted has been mapped correctly. But for control, I
feel want is not high always. In some situations it is definitely high but not always. But I
understand since the scores are not very far apart and the difference of being high or medium
may come with a small variation in answering the questionnaire. Affection too has been
mapped correctly. It is true that my expressed need for affection is less than my want for it.

Very Low Score

I have scored high in being a team worker, a finisher and a coordinator. This has helped me
analyze my strengths and use them to my advantage to help any team of which I am a part of.
Low scores in some roles have also helped me analyze some areas where I can improve and
grow as an individual.
Johari Window
I took feedback from some of my friends and formed the below johari window

Immature at times ( Child

Ego State)
__

This process allowed me to analyze myself and differentiate the traits I publicly acknowledge
and that I keep to myself .The feedback process has also revealed areas which were unknown
to me. I can work upon these areas and grow as an individual. It has helped me understand
that since we are undergoing a professional course there has to be a correct balance between
the times you act mature and immature.

Transaction Analysis
In accordance with the test, I mainly operate from a child ego state. Specifically, from
natural child and adaptive child ego states.
I might get into trouble when I do not think enough about the consequences of my
actions.

Development Plan

One of the areas for development is my drive to take initiatives while working in a
group. Working in the present group I had been given a feedback that I do not take
initiatives although I am good at giving valuable suggestions and driving a process
forward. Keeping this in mind we have decided to allocate POCs for each project in
the next trimester who would be responsible for their initiating and completing their
respective projects.
I am impatient at times. I am always dedicated to complete my work before or on
time and when due to some circumstances I am not able to do so I get impatient.
Although, my dedication mostly helps to channelize my impatience towards
completing the work, I do get frustrated at times. To improve upon this weakness, I
have decided to make a working plan for every task I do with good amount of buffer
time so as to avoid situations leading to impatience.
