Communication I’m probably not very good at communicating. Teachers always write in my reports that although I am extremely bright, I need to become more involved in discussion. I do prefer to only speak when spoken to.  
Negotiation I do think that in the future I will be very good at negotiating, especially when what I plan would be more logical and they would need to be convinced to operate differently.
    
Numerical I’m really good with numbers and I enjoy working with them.
   
Technological I live for technology and any advancement in technology. I spend hours every day with one form or another and I love learning more about machines and their functions if I can.
   
Social I don’t really socialise at all. There’s a couple of kids that I might invite over to play games but otherwise I stay away from the social scene of parties and drinking.
   
Physical I hate physical activity. Teachers always made us go for runs and stupid stuff like that. I do it because I have to, not because I want to.
   
Creative I have pretty creative and imaginative ideas, although not in the artistic sense. I am always creating plans of attack in games and to prepare me for my career.
   
Leadership Although I do not demonstrate it now, I know that I will be a great leader in our quest to strike fear into our enemies and eliminate danger.
   
Practical I like the practicalities of computing and technology. I don’t normally involve myself or get enthusiastic about any other practical work.
   
Home duties I don’t like cleaning. It takes a while for mum to hound me into doing the jobs that she wants me to do.
   



I’m really good at problem solving.

I am good at most things to do with computers and computer games.

I am also good at strategy games such as chess and battleship.

Casual work:
I haven’t had any casual work experience as yet.

Work Experience:
I haven’t done any work experience through school yet. I am planning on doing some through school this or next year, hopefully in the department of defence.
