After reading this article, it was obvious to me that I fit the Type Three Learner's style. Thinking back over past jobs, I saw that I was able to adapt to my environment as long as someone showed me what to do, and how it needed to be done. Early on, I left a career as an internal auditor to become a micro support analyst. The job entailed building, fixing, and installing hardware and software on PCs. I had never done this before. I attended a two-day seminar that taught each person in the class to take apart and reassemble a PC. To pass the class, the rebuilt PC had to boot up and work, and I successfully reassembled the PC on the first try. After taking this class, I felt such a tremendous sense of accomplishment that I was able to immediately utilize my new skills with confidence.
Now that I am in my new job, working for a new company with new software and programming languages I have never used before, the challenges have been formidable, and I have not always had the benefit of an experienced co-worker to guide me. In many ways, I am expected to be the experienced co-worker for others in the department, assisting and instructing co-workers and even my boss at times. My hope is that my performance in my current job will lead to a management position.
To further increase my self-awareness and enhance my value as an employee, a few months ago, I answered a Kersey Temperament Sorter II questionnaire for an AMA Communications Seminar. The test is based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality inventory and its applications in organizational settings (Hirsh & Kummerow, 1998).

These types of leisure allow the people an "escape- from everyday life. Beginning in the nineteenth century, in America, this diversion became baseball.
