What's Your Secret Sauce

1) Five ways in which I think I have human capital that is truly unique are in the following ways:

• Ability to listen. I am very receptive and welcoming towards different opinions and perspectives. I am able to keenly listen to anyone who is speaking, which makes individuals feel valued and empowered.
• Ability to analyze. I am very strong in my analytical skills and in my ability to critically analyze situations. This allows me to identify solutions and effectively solve problems.
• Ability to communicate. I am very vocal and express my ideas in a productive manner. In doing so, I am also able to relay information amongst others in an efficient manner.
• Ability to maintain positivity. I am always approaching life with a "glass half-full" mentality, and attempt to see the benefits in any situation. This allows me to uplift the morale in all settings.
• Ability to delegate responsibilities. I am very effective in distributing tasks among a group of individuals. This allows for goals to be completed in a timely manner, while actively engaging every member of a team.

• The first individual I interviewed was my best friend. He expressed that my ability to empathize with others is what makes me different. This quality allows me to better relate with the individuals that I interact with.
• The second individual I interviewed was my college roommate. He expressed that my academic pursuits have allowed me to develop a unique perspective regarding individuals. My philosophy studies have equipped me the knowledge to understand that people think and express themselves in their own way. 
• The third individual I interviewed was my soccer teammate from high school. He expressed that my ability to understand cultural differences is what makes me different. My cultural appreciation allows me to properly interact with individuals from different backgrounds.
• The fourth individual I interviewed was one of my close colleagues. She expressed that my team-oriented and selfless mentality is what makes me different. This quality allows me to brighten the mood in any setting.
• The fifth individual I interviewed was my college mentor. She expressed that my ability to be receptive to others is what makes me different. I keenly listen to what people have to say, making them feel valued and understood.

3) Based on my five interviews, the way I perceive myself and the way others perceive me is pretty similar. Of these similarities, the most notable attributes are my ability to listen and my ability to maintain positivity. I feel as if my assessment of myself was more professionally oriented (i.e. ability to analyze, communicate, delegate responsibilities), while my interviewees' assessment of me was more personally oriented (i.e. ability to empathize with others, ability to understand cultural differences). However, I believe that both assessments are accurate---just focusing on different aspects of my character. Thus, I would ultimately not make any corrections to my initial list from part 1.
