Global Competencies Inventory (GCI)

My Global Competencies Inventory (GCI) gave me inside to my perception, relationship and self-management. I understand my strengths and weaknesses for specific area that I need to improve.

First off, I notice that my perception management is very low, but the main focus in this area for me is my tolerance of ambiguity. I feel that this might be my culture of high uncertainty avoidance. I have some hard time keeping up with any ambiguous ideas in a conversation. In fact, I usually space out to think or evaluate such ideas. A better approach for me to overcome this is to be exposed more in this area. A practical way is to participate in business discussion, or watch business videos. Additionally, the other two areas that I also need to focus on is cosmopolitanism and inclusiveness. In other words, my curiosity in different cultures and acceptance of differences are extremely low. I think a better way to improve this is gradually observe my classmates and friends since I live in the US, a nation with multinational background immigrants.

The main focus for me on relationship management is to improve my relationship interest. I believe this can also be accomplished through conversation with friends. From there, interests can be easily built if there is chemical between parties.

For my self-management, I score well in different area except for self-identity, my ability to maintain own values and beliefs while still being accepting of those who are different. This might be accomplished through prior method that I have described: get exposed to different cultures but still keep my culture.

I wonder whether my ways are effective in improving these areas.
