My results show that I am an Enneagram Type 1. I am not surprised by these results because I have taken multiple Enneagram tests in the past and I always get Type 1 as my result. I agree with the results because I feel like I identify with or have the traits described in the results. According to my results and levels of development, I have to be careful to not fall into the unhealthy levels, as they sound very unpleasant and, as the name suggests, unhealthy. I need to be less critical of myself and allow myself to make mistakes, as not everything has to be perfect all the time. I should be careful to be understanding of others and avoid hypocrisy. I can work hard to be successful with my healthy levels, which will allow me to be wise, accepting, self-disciplined, and principled. I can apply this knowledge of my personality type to my time at Ohio State through my academics and extracurriculars. I can work toward achieving healthy levels of development through my academic work by being realistic, hopeful, and self-disciplined. I can be self-disciplined by making sure I have enough time to get my class work done before I move on to doing other things. Socially and in extracurriculars, I can maintain healthy levels of development through interactions with others, being accepting of others, and being patient with others.

I interviewed Jesze Doleh for my alumni interview. Jesze majored in zoology with a minor in education and is a zoo educator at the Birmingham Zoo. She says that this job is the perfect match for her, because it combines the skills she acquired from both her major and her minor. I learned a lot from our correspondence including things about Ohio State, professional skills, and important general skills. Jesze shared some information about her time at OSU, including her time as an an ENR scholar. She told me about her favorite classes and some of the extracurriculars she was involved in. It was good to know that she found a lot of community in ENR scholars after not knowing anyone when she came to OSU. She also made a point that she couldn’t always make it to ENR activities because of her class schedule, which I can relate to. She was in Zoology Club, STEP, and College Mentors for Kids. I learned the most from the professional/interview questions. Jesze said that her biggest advice for interviews is to just be myself. She said that employers are looking for genuine, true, and honest people. She said it is still very important to be professional leading up to the interview, and even though the interview process can be exhausting and defeating, there is a job out there for me. She also said that it is important to take care of myself and find a balance between school, extracurriculars, and personal time. She also encouraged me that it is okay to want to change what I’m doing or studying. I found all of the information she provided to be helpful. I plan to apply what I learned when I do interviews for jobs. I also will apply the information about self-care that she gave me, and make sure that I take time to relax and decompress. All of the information that I learned from Jesze was very helpful, and I’m glad I chose to interview her!
