16A What's your secret sauce?

Your human capital includes your experiences, skills, and emotions -- in short, everything about you that makes you you! In this exercise, I want you to try to get to know yourself a bit better. You'll do this by first writing your own assessment of what you think sets you apart from others, second, by getting some outside opinions, and three, by reflecting on the differences in how you see you and how others see you.

There are three part of this exercise, which you should include in your post:

1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique. What is it about you, exactly, that makes you different? Write this up in a detailed list. 

-I worked as a police explorer and knew the ins and outs of the police station by the age of 17. 

-I am able to conduct pieces of art that are unnervingly gorey. 

-I can speak Georgian, which is a language spoken by a small-ish group of people.

-I speak my mind, no matter how butthurt someone can get.

2) Interview the five people who know you the best. Ask them what they think makes you different -- remember, focus on your knowledge, skills, abilities, emotions -- in other words, your human capital. Try to stay away from discussing your other types of capital (such as who you know). Record each interview. In your post, please post each interview, as well as a two-three sentence summary of each interview, explaining what your key takeaways are. There is no time limit on these recordings. As long as you cover the information asked for above, that's all you need to do. (Audio recordings are fine. You'll need to use a platform like Soundcloud to host your files.)

My father described me as very smart and well spoken. I am  able to have intellectual conversations.

My mother says I am very outspoken and am dedicated to telling the truth. She thinks I would be a great lawyer and is disappointed that I will not be.

I am an honest and very confrontational person.

Again, honest and outgoing. But she also added that I am very culturally literate and am able to see things from a third perspective.

3) Reflect on the differences. How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? Are there differences in how you assess yourself compared to others? What do you think causes these differences? Do you think your interviewees are correct about you? Finally, going back to your list from part 1, would you make any corrections to the list? How? 

I see myself as an honest human being and I think everyone is in consensus about that. My mother informed me that I would be a great lawyer, but I seem to disagree, as I am far too emotional for that. I think the way I carry myself makes a difference. I would not change my previous list.
