(Week 1)

Hello future enigneers! Sharing my BII result. It indicates here that my innovation mindset is not fixed.  I totally agree! I'm hoping to develop as I progress through our Technopreneurship program! Knowing your BERKELEY INNOVATION INDEX, I believe, is significant since it can help you increase your ability to innovate.

Here are the snip of my result:

What are you waiting for? Know your BII! Here's the link: https://innovationindex.berkeley.edu/?fbclid=IwAR2iVzOvGTPbCBJ5miGVSc5XNtn2gJBBAd40-qvmr4aJcgHkWfPMxQAwSpA

God bless Future Engineer!!

Love,

"Can you tell us about yourself?"

A very familiar question, yet so hard to answer. This question sparks a lot of thoughts (at least on my end) because if you know yourself, you feel confident and can answer that question like a hot knife through butter, or you could feel guilty because you can't answer that question.

It's awful that you can't really answer a question in which its answer must talk about you, and must be answered by you.

That question is kind of hard for me to answer, but answering self-assessment quizzes and reading more about my results made the knife a little warm to cut through that butter. Nonetheless, it helped me discover myself more!

I'm actually a big fan of self-assessment quizzes. A fact about me: I was formerly an ENTJ, but now I'm an INFJ.

INFJs are advocates. They aim to help other people, to bring positivity to others, to realize a solution to solve a problem that would help the universe (if possible), and many selfless-traits. If you are familiar with Veronica Roth's The Divergent Series, INFJs kinda belong to the faction of Abnegation..... and Candor. Candor? Why? On the said novel series, the faction of Candor deals with justice. They hold trials, and let's just say.... they're the justice seekers. INFJs are also justice seekers. As what 16personalities.com said, there's not a day that INFJs won't help someone in trouble, someone dealing with unfairness, or injustice.

INFJs are helpful. Yeah it might sound narcissist but I actually kind of realized it myself, that I am of such. I was... let's say... napapa-dilat mata talaga when I read "INFJs often help others that they tend to forget about themselves" on my result. I was attacked in a good way. The result literally told me that I should also check on my self often just as how I often check on others.

One of my enrolled course in this semester is called Technopreneurship. It’s entrepreneurship on the field of technology. People and students engaged in this field (for me) will have their inner entrepreneurs be trained to be innovative, creative, communicative, and to be a problem solver. When I saw this subject to be enrolled on my semester, I thought about how fun this course will be. I am always in for courses that encourages collaboration.

As a first requirement of the mentioned course, I took another test, which is called the Berkley Innovation Index, only to find out that I am high in diversity and resilience. I can also see that collaboration and belief is also at my highs. I believe my highs are an advantage to innovate and communicate with other people. The really do somehow align on what the course wants from a technopreneur... or does it?

My Personal Innovation Mindset Level is currently 80.69 OUT OF 100. 

Trust is 46 OUT OF 100. People with similar scores will sometimes struggle to willingly take risks, admit their mistakes, and learn from them.

Resilience is 92.5 OUT OF 100. People with similar scores can consider a solution to a problem without proper or obvious tools, materials, and knowledge. In other words, they can make do with whatever is at hand.

Diversity is 100 OUT OF 100. People with similar scores find that it is often easy to process information in a manner that is not biased in the direction of their own opinions or expectations.

Belief is 87.33 OUT OF 100. People with similar scores find it easy to believe in their ability to influence events displaying a higher work-performance than those with a low belief.

Perfection is 95 OUT OF 100. People with similar scores can successfully stay resilient to shift their resources when necessary.

Collaboration is 100 OUT OF 100. People with similar scores focus their efforts on craving new insights from their collaborators and thus able to persuade others in engaging discussions.

Comfort Zone is 66.67 OUT OF 100. People with similar scores sometimes struggle to work on things they don't already think they are an expert in. They have a hard time trusting their abilities and occasionally hesitate to 'figure it out while doing.'

Innovation Zone is 58 OUT OF 100. People with similar scores sometimes struggle to consider being purposeful, diligent, and creative to generate novel and useful ideas. They have a hard time with autonomy, independence, and self-confidence to develop innovative ideas.
