This thing worked 0-0 shall leave it up for entertainment purposes Manager application project thingy— This is basically putting my strong points on the table, in case they're needed, and also putting my weak onesss(at least the ones I'm aware of), in case they're too much. I’m sure I have more of those, but if you know me hopefully you’re aware of the ones I don’t know about—(I haven't written a personality dissection in a while--) I’m sorry in advance for making you guys read so much :pensive: feel free to evacuate midway XD 1. Manager-like qualities in me Okay first of all, I would like to clarify that I am capable of being serious(yeah just making sure XDD), and I also do not find it difficult telling people they have broken rules, or done anything else inappropriate, while being kind at the same time. What I believe is my strongest characteristic for managing GWDFI, is that I'm a very neutral person in almost all topics. If I believe a person is taking sides too strongly in a debate, I usually try pointing out holes, even if I support that side. This is to make sure the person has taken all factors into account first. I usually do not take an opinion, in GWDFI suggestions and in other places, until I am very, very certain, and even then, I am always a fairly neutral defender, and I always see all sides first. This leads me to my next point, I’m pretty good at conflict resolution. In my six years on scratch, and even in real life(except family–), I have never had a heated argument with anyone(well actually one, but that was a few years ago--), ever broken a friendship because of an argument, or ever argued with somebody who was wrong without them apologizing. If I feel I am wrong, I usually apologize almost immediately, or admit it at once. If I am not wrong, I'm either usually able to convince them, or I take my trusty neutral standpoint, agreeing with the correct things somebody is saying(nobody is ever completely wrong) and I am usually able to diffuse the situation that way. Because of this, I am also good at taking feedback and listening, since all of these do usually go hand in hand. (I have a few examples but they would take ages to type so I'm going to leave it at that unless anyone asks XD) My third point is that I follow the community guidelines. In all my time on GWDFI, I have added to the timeout around once or twice, both of which were because I was unaware of a rule. Thankfully now I’m almost certain I’ve run out of rules I am unaware of. Lastly, I participate in the suggestions studio. Ever since I have been aware of the suggestions studio, I periodically check in on it at least once every few days, often more, even if I do not end up commenting. (I got sick that one week I didn’t sobbinh–) and with the creation of the GWDFI cabinet and the Pending Hub, I check in on those too. 2. Time Zones Okay, I know I have a pretty typical time zone, EST, but first of all, I’m moving soon, and will be in CST, and secondly, I often wake up pretty early in the morning, like 3 or 4 am. (I haven’t done that in two weeks but that’s because my system is a bit off lately, but I usually do) I also travel a lot, so it varies. I’m also homeschooled, so I usually check in every half-hour or so. 3. Non-manager-like qualities in me. From what I know about myself, I often find it difficult to tell people they've done anything wrong, /if/ I'm not certain. I must be absolutely /certain/ before telling anyone they've done anything wrong, half because I don't trust myself, and half because that simply does not make sense. What this means is that if I am made a manager, I most definitely would end up asking slightly obvious questions to the nearest person. The good part is I won't ask the same question twice, which means I’ll get better with experience– Anyways, another flaw is that–although I wouldn’t say I’m uncreative–I usually do not come up with original ideas. My mind is just not wired that way. Give me an old idea, and I’ll be able to edit it pretty well, and I can go off it and make a new one if necessary, but making an utterly new idea from scratch is not my strong point. (On a side note, I am slightly argumentative, even if I don’t feel strongly about something I’m defending, I don’t think it’s a very bad situation, it’s just enough to let me defend topics I’m neutral about logically without pointless arguing–it’s because two sides of me war sobbinh the polite side, and the argumentative one–) 4. Conclusion So these are all my qualities that I can think of that apply to GWDFI. I’m afraid I haven’t written much in a few weeks, and like I mentioned–the personality dissection situation–which is probably why I ended up writing a lot– anyways, I know there are many GWDFIers that would make wonderful managers, and I'm rooting for them wayy more then myself, so please consider them way before me.
