16A

1. I think the five most unique things that describe my human capital is as follows:
  • Determination: When I set my mind to something, I make sure it gets done. You will never see me give up on something if it is not completed. I am always focused on my end goal. 
  • Diversity: I have taken a numerous set of classes throughout my life, so I believe I have a diverse knowledge base. I think that I am proficient in a lot of different areas.
  • Realist: I try to set goals that I realistically think I can accomplish. There is no reason to waste my time on things that I cannot realistically do, no matter how much I want them. For years, I wanted to be a professional sports player. However, I now know that this is impossible, so I have changed my limits on that. 
  • Motivated: I always try to do the best job that I can. I do not like to settle for less than what I know I can achieve.
  • Level-headed: I make decisions based off of their efficiencies and their cost-effectiveness. I do not let emotions get in the way of this. For this reason, I tend to make the decisions that are best for me. 
2. Interview 1: Mom: My mom thought my best traits of human capital were my hard-working attitude and my promptness. She said for as long as she can remember, I have always gotten my work done on time, and never missed a due date.

Interview 2: Dad: My dad thought my best human capital traits were my drive and ambition. He said that since I was a kid, I always strive to achieve my best results, no matter how much work it took. He also said I was always extremely motivated throughout my life.

Interview 3: Nana: My Nana thought that my best human capital trait was how smart I am. She believes throughout my entire college and high school life, that I have gained sufficient knowledge to do whatever I set my mind to.

Interview 4: Alex (Close Friend): Alex believes that my best notion of human capital is my ability to solve problems. He said that ever since I was young, whenever I ran into a problem, I was always able to find a remedy to fix it.

Interview 5: Frank (Close Friend): Frank thought my best human capital quality was my ability to assess situations. He said that I tend to make the right decisions when under stress or duress.

3. From these interviews, I was mostly correct about assessing myself. The people who know me best recognize my hard-working attitude, my ability to adapt to my situations, and the competitiveness and rigor that I attack life with. I do no think I need to switch any of my self-assessments, as the people who know me best seemed to come up with the same things that I did. Know yourself.
