Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Locus of Control

On a scale of 1-10 (one low, ten high) estimate the level of control you have over your own life.

Now go to this site and take the survey:

The site gives you a score relating to a level of control. Internal Control means you feel you are in charge of your life. External Control means you feel that something or someone other than you controls your life.

How does your score on my question compare with the survey? Are they similar?

Now for the important part. Do you feel comfortable with the answers? If you do, great. IF NOT, I ask you to write down a list of steps you could take to get you where you want to be.

This self awareness and self analysis are the most important steps in making change.
