The results I got for the YD
Ideology were not the results I was expecting. My highest score (which was
tied) was between “Risk, Resiliency, and Prevention” and “Critical Youth
Development”. The reason I said I wasn’t expecting those results is because the
last category in which I got a low score was “Positive Youth Development”. In
my every day character I am a positive person who motivates others in a
positive way. I was expecting my results to be somewhere more along those
lines. I believe that these answers must overlap in some ways or the way I go
about helping the youth are different than the ways I thought they were, which
is pretty cool too.
Reading the horoscopes for the
results definitely helped putting my results in perspective. I would agree that
I am the type of person that would come out and brainstorm ways to help a situation
and try different ways to make things better. I am also the type of person who
would collaborate with other resources to make sure I am doing whatever I can
to help to the best of my ability.
Writing this out makes me realize
that maybe the results I got were exactly the way I am! This was a really
helpful exercise! (:
I think the surprise of not getting the one you expected is a great tell for you. I really believe that Youth Workers can be all of the above maybe not all at once but we have what it takes to handle each and every situation within the given categories. There is never "one" set description. Youth work is not cookie cutter so to say we are one category over the other is just bizarre. Every situation will call for a different perspective!
ReplyDeleteYour results both differed from my results which I had. I had Positive youth Development. I believe that our Cohort will being great diversity to the work as we all meet various YD Ideology concepts.
