From the list of the Belbin Team Roles, I think that I am some parts of a Shaper but I don't agree to certain parts such as "They don't mind upsetting people, as long as the task gets done" and "they like to win" because I do mind if I upset people, and I will immediately apologize, even though I like winning, it is not a matter of great importance because I believe our aim is trying the hardest, and not to win. I don't mind if things aren't going as I expected, because that is probably because my teammate has a better idea. I used qualities like this in several group projects where I tend to try and get my teammates to do as I plan out, like a Science project where we have to advertise our type of energy. This could be something I would change.
I know for a fact that I am definitely a Completer Finisher as I always panic slightly when I am scared that the work I am doing won't be finished before the deadline. I usually don't need any motivation for me to do my work and I always try my hardest to produce good quality work for any activity. An example of me being a Completer Finisher is during the Humanities biography. During that time, I made sure that I finished my work before the deadline and I went through it several times and edited some things to make sure that it has good quality.
I think that I am a bit of all four Monitor Evaluator, Implementer, Coordinator and Specialist. I think I am a bit of the Monitor Evaluator because I always go through all the factors and will only come up with a judgement if only I am sure that it is correct and there are no better ideas. I use this in a lot of group and individual projects like the English Film Festival by making sure that I will use the most interesting storyline in order to pique the audience's interest.
I think I am an Implementer because when I work, I usually do it in a systematic way. I am often also seen by others as "dull" and "hardworking". When I do my work, I usually plan everything out before doing it and make sure that it is not messy. I am also often loyal to my group. An example of me being an Implementer is when I was doing the Humanities Child Soldiers biography. I planned everything out carefully, including my storyline and the outline of my work itself, then only carried out the work itself.
I think I am a Coordinator because I always make sure that everyone in my group is doing the work that they are assigned in order to achieve our goal. An example of me is during the MUN CCA, where I was chairing a meeting and before that meeting during the preparations, I help the others to make sure that they reach their goal.
I feel that I am a Specialist sometimes because I often remember information that I researched in the past. I happen to participate in a wide range of activities and I usually gain a lot of experience and knowledge from those tasks which I would use in work that I am currently on. An example of me being a Specialist was when I researched a lot about Child Soldiers in MUN last year, and used the knowledge that I gained from there to write about a Child Soldier's biography in Humanities this year.
In the end, I feel like I'm a part of many things, sometimes beneficial, sometimes disadvantageous. But these characteristics often help me through all types of work, whether group or individual.
