6)
- Making a letter filled with nature pictures, and greetings
- Thinking Creatively
- I feel anxious when I am surrounded by random people so I limit my speech
- Logisticians can tolerate indecisive people, very accurate

7) I offered the idea of making a letter to give to the friend that lived on the east coast of
Canada. I thought of a letter because back in the day people would exchange letters when they
lived far apart and I thought maybe reading a letter that was filled with the things they like would
put a smile on their face.
I believe that my quick thinking creatively is a strength because I was able to think of a
letter after reading the short scenario, my thinking creatively is a strength.
When it comes to working in groups, it depends on how many and who are in my group.
There are people I don’t feel comfortable around, and the bigger the group the less I talk… I
don’t know why but if I am put into a large group of people to work with I get anxious. I prefer
staying in a group with the people I am comfortable with rather than a group with uncomfortable
people. However when I am put into a group where I am with people I am comfortable with
mixed with people that I am uncomfortable with, I have to acknowledge that I have to speak up,
and help out. The group I was in for the design thinking assignment, I felt very comfortable, so I
didn’t have to limit my speech.
In the 16 Personality test, the results said that I am a Logistician, they said that
Logisticians can tolerate indecisive people, and that’s very accurate. I know someone very close
to me who is very indecisive and they're always asking me for opinions when they can’t decide.
It's annoying but I can tolerate it; makes me laugh.
