My Management "Type"

So according to the leadership/diagnostic conducted in class, I am a C high I. The C stands for Conscientious and the I stands for Influence. In essence, my emphasis is on working conscientiously within existing circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy while also putting an emphasis on shaping the environment by influencing or persuading others. So to make it a little more clear, before I start on any project I like to gather as much information as I can in order to complete the project efficiently and accurately while influencing my teammates to follow my mindset. According to this diagnostic, that is.
I have to say that this test did, indeed, accurately guage management/leadership type. Ever since I took this test, I've realized just how much this applies to me. Even when it comes to going out with a friend or making plans. I have to know exactly where we're going and how we're getting there. I don't feel comfortable otherwise.
I do feel that it is possible to become another type, but that would mean changing and most of the time it is best to "Be Yourself" so I am not sure how effective the change would be. For this reason, I am happy with my diagnostic result.
I don't really know how effective it is to determine someone's management type through this test because after spending some time with someone you will eventually get an idea of what kind of person he/she is.

The "Vision" assignment and this test helps me discover what I want to do, what is my passion, why am I at Baruch College, why am I came back to New York City, what major I want to study, and what do I want to do in the future.

Just for fun:

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not flunk
He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying
He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break
He restores my faith in study guides
He leads me to better study habits
For my grades' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of borderline grades
I will not have a nervous breakdown
For thou art with me
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.

Thou givest me the answeres in moments of blankness
Thou anointest my head with understanding
My test paper runnest over with questions I recognize
Surely passing grades and flying colours shall follow me
All the days of examinations

And I shall not have to dwell in this University
Forever!

Amen!
