THEORY DEVELOPMENT

In a question and answer column in a magazine, some readers have asked about this. In short, the reader asks about how to actually read, understand, and apply theories of self-development. Call it the theory that such a theory about the talent, the theory of intelligence, personality theory or theories about worktypes (MBTI model, for example). In the theory of talent (talent theory), for example, said that someone was there who was given the ability of innate talent or technique practice. The question is, are people who identify themselves have the talent here means no talent on the abilities of its “intellectual” or “analytical”?
Likewise, in a theory of personality (personality theory). Explained there that there is someone who has a personality model, say for example, an introvert. The question is whether someone who identifies himself had a personality model here means not to have a model for an extrovert personality? So also with the theory of intelligence (intelligence theory). Explained there that there was someone who had intrapersonal intelligence (the ability to build relationships). The question is, are people who identify themselves have intelligence here means not to have intelligence in other fields, such as say, the interpersonal intelligence? Likewise, in theory worktypes. In his book jean m. Kummerow, et al., Titled work types (1997), described the sixteen types of workers. One of which may be illustrated here as there are people who say estp type. People of this type characteristics include: action-oriented, pragmatic, outgoing, and realistic. The question is whether people who identified herself has type estp This means not a INFP? INFP traits that among other things: Deeply focus on on their value, and devote on their Lives to pursuing the ideal. Well, actually the question that emerged from the practice in the field, not as I describe above. There is a more crucial question again. This example’s a person who identifies himself as a talented conceptual (conceptual ABILITY). But the company gave him the task to handle technical matters, with a reason or by consideration of the circumstances. The question that arises is, whether he should be with a confident belief that he would not successfully handle the task of perceived conflict with his talent? Even more crucial again, of course companies are not too concerned with the talent or personality that we have. Company wants the job assigned to us was wrong or Complete. If wrong, we will be given qualified name, but if not, we will be disqualified. That is what will be the company’s standards in general. Another thing to realize also that when you say the “ideal”, it is each person ideally it would be ok if given a role or job in accordance with alamiyahnya excellence. This everyone knows. But the problems faced in the field is not like that. Companies should take a decision in less than ideal circumstances, with one and there are so many reasons. So how should we read and respond to the theories that were increasingly more year? Some way to read & respond Below is an input only to the extent that we can consider. Might be appropriate for some contexts, but maybe not for another cocon. I mean that inputs are: First, the human potential is infinite. Makudnya potential here is various capacities within ourselves that are still in the form of raw materials. His name is also the raw material. Raw materials that can be processed into any shape, depending on the processing process. Because of that, says prof. Howard Gardner, the terms he proposed in his theory of intelligence is not the default domain name is standard and so it is, but rather a “new construct.” That is, people will have intrapersonal intelligence is enhanced if the potential for more of this leads to the formation of this intelligence. Intrapersonal intelligence he possesses is the formation of new (new construct) of that person. In other words, because our potential is very little that can be explained in terms of languages, so do not let us use these terms to limit ourselves. Options that we take is, we can make a job or assignment given to us as a space or region in order to reveal the various potentials that do not have the language. Very likely we can find a basis that can become a potential advantage. Second, the basic human ability that has a flexible nature, in a sense can be applied to different job or any profession. From the explanation of the experts we can deduce that they say about the talent, intelligence, personality, etc., were largely unrelated to occupation, profession or a specific designation, but rather more related to the role we can do. This opinion refers to the mean in all jobs or professions or positions assigned to us, basically there are still certain roles that match their talents, intelligence, or our personality. One of my acquaintance can not be verbally articulated a network builder like we imagine. But the practice is not so. That is, sometimes too early to conclude not suitable to be marketers, network builder, negotiator, and others just because we feel as introverts or intrapersonal. Most likely what happens is, we have not yet found a role that really fits for us to play on the job. To be able to find it really need Experiencing. Third, to develop self-reference. In practice it’s going to happen is, there are certain roles that we play well and there are less or not good. The first one we call and the second advantage we call weakness. We need to acknowledge this fairly. Indeed no man is perfect in all areas. Well, theories that have been revealed by the experts with an effort that would be great if we make reference to develop themselves according to the development of our state. For example for the purpose to continue studying, doing self-taught expertise, and others. Why are references important? For people who want to develop themselves need to do a selection. If we want excellent in all areas at one time and simultaneously, it is even difficult and usually fail. Therefore we need a reference. Knowing the excess is just as important as knowing the weaknesses. Weakness as we know it is not weakness, but rather the excess. Fourth, the scale of competence. There is a certain competence scale we often assume to be an innate talent or innate intelligence, but it was not. The most appropriate example here is entrepreneurship (entrepreneurship). Many who assume themselves to be talented businessmen, or vice versa. Yet if we look at his theory and in practice, that entrepreneurship scale the highest competence. Anyone can become an entrepreneur as long as the respective sharpening qualities, skills, or habits necessary to become an entrepreneur. This example calculates the ability of opportunities and threats, advantages and disadvantages, effectiveness and efficiency, delegation, creating a decent idea of selling, and so on. Matter what their field, how do they work, what kind of technique, this is another matter. For there to be an entrepreneur can do it all, so now it appears the various designations. This example just natural entrepreneurs, scientific entrepreneurs (entrepreneurs who have business education from formal education), there are corporate entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs, and others. Thus, an entrepreneur is about to train the soul, instinct, and skill. Fifth, do not conclude themselves with more and more restrictions that limit (fixed ABILITY). This is suggested by an expert in psychology from Yale University, Stenberg. Ability we have is basically, he says, is developing ABILITY. Developing here the intention is to increase or continue to expand based on the efforts we are doing. Success factors If we see the experience of many people and also the existing theories, it turns out the existence of talent, intelligence, personality, and others that perananya still on the surface level of what we need to become the person we want. Therefore, not all people who feel they have talent in the arts will become a powerful artist. Not everyone who thinks he’s an extrovert to be a reliable network builder. To become a powerful figure such as we imagine it is needed, what personality experts, termed the “success factors” ‘(the most decisive success factor). This success factor, fair lords, is owned by everyone and everyone already knows about this. What separates people is their ability to execute. From the history of the prophets, leaders, or anyone who excel in their field, there were a number of factors have an absolute success. A number of success factors include: First, have clear goals. We may call it by the term vision, goals, objectives, goals, obsession, or whatever we want. What is clear, the purpose of the target here is the inner shadow of the figure we want from ourselves as possible. This example you want to become writers, doctors, managers, directors, psychologists, and others. Second, a strong commitment, strong will, strong encouragement, sincerity, or whatever his name whose meaning is the same. Wherever we find there are people who have great achievements, like the prophets or ordinary people, must have this. We want to have any talent, any intelligence, but if this commitment is missing, also lost our talent and intelligence. Third, trustworthiness by others. This may take the form of moral obedience or skill that we have. Wherever we find there are people who have good achievements must have properties or capabilities is a reliable by others. People trust us that if not because of moral yes because of the skill. Fourth, the ability to communicate with others. These include among others: the ability to open new relationships, the ability to maintain existing relationships, and ability to resolve conflicts or problems positively. Wherever we find people who excelled in their fields must have this. Even some businessmen that I know until I can maintain a relationship to his children. Fifth, the ability to continue learning (learning ABILITY). Study here the intention is to change attitudes towards a better under everyday practice. Whether it’s through books, through experience, through theory, directly or through any person. Stephen Covey called it in terms of sharpening the saw (sharpening the saw). Wherever we see a sophisticated person would have this. They learned of the problem or learn from the way in realizing his dreams. Hopefully useful.
