How Far Would You Push Yourself Physically to Meet a Goal?

How Far Would You Push Yourself Physically to Meet a Goal?

Have you ever run a difficult race? Walked, biked or swum a long distance? Landed a dangerous trick on a skateboard or skis, or perfected a complex shot in tennis, basketball or hockey? What is the most physically ambitious — or stressful — thing you have ever done?

What was it like? How did you feel afterward? Did it make you want to continue to push yourself — or to back off?

The Barkley Marathons is an extreme footrace that requires participants to navigate 100 miles of rugged terrain in rural Tennessee in no more than 60 hours. It also has the equivalent of 60,000 feet of ascent and descent, about twice the elevation of Mount Everest. As its founder said, “Anything that makes it more mentally stressful for the runners is good.”

Last month, Jasmin Paris became the first woman to complete the race. Here is how the moment shown in the image above was captured in a New York Times article:

At the end of the run, Paris sank to the ground in front of a yellow gate that marks the start and finish of the event, which consists of five roughly 20-mile laps.

“The final minutes were so intense, after all that effort it came down to a sprint uphill, with every fiber of my body screaming at me to stop,” Paris said in an email.

The same week, a professional rock climber named Beth Rodden published an essay in the Times Opinion section headlined “Tired of Sucking It Up as a Climber, I’ve Embraced a Softer Strength.” Near the beginning of the essay, she describes the “hard core” life she once lived:

Hanging in the middle of Half Dome was an ordinary thing. Ascending ropes with bloody knuckles and a heavy pack thousands of feet off the ground was as conventional to me as grabbing the bananas and apples in the produce section: just part of my day. Climbers pride themselves on being better than normal people. Not just in the “I climbed a mountain and you didn’t” type of way, but in the fabric of how we approach life. How we eat, where we sleep, the stories we walk away with: It’s all better.

By the time I was in my mid-20s, I was a walking archetype of how to succeed in that world because of the belief system I followed: suck it up, persevere, win. I was used to pushing the level of climbing further, used to doing things that no other women had done — and even, a couple of times, things that no guys had done.

But later in the essay, Ms. Rodden writes:

I can’t say there was one moment, a specific event that made me start to question the “suck it up, Rodden” theme song I had lived by for so long. I got divorced, and eventually remarried; I got injured over and over. After years of injuries I had a child, and that led to relearning my body. Maybe it was the scale of all those changes in my life that forced me to reconsider the way I’d always done things, or maybe I just got fed up with the facade. Why was it noble to climb through cracks on El Cap soaked with climbers’ urine, but leaking while jogging postpartum was something to be ashamed of?

Gradually, I began to question the old mentality. I began to be more open about what I found value in, and learned to share my pain and my fears with friends instead of hiding them behind a perma-smile. I started to be kinder to myself, and to be frank that, as effective as it had been for me and my career, I just didn’t see the point in suffering for the sake of a climb anymore. In letting go of that, I was surprised to find a new kind of strength — something perhaps truer and more durable than the ability to just plow through.

Students, read both articles and then tell us:

  • Are you attracted to physical challenges in general? What are some of the things you have done to push yourself? What emotional or physical effects did they have on you?

  • Whom do you relate to more — an athlete like Ms. Paris who challenges herself to win, even at great physical cost, or one like Ms. Rodden, who has goals but is more interested in taking care of herself than suffering?

  • To what extent do you — or those around you — believe that people should “suck it up” in order to achieve their goals? How has that attitude affected your life, whether in sports, at school, at work, or even in your relationships?

  • Do you think Ms. Rodden is right that the world of sports is “starting to embrace a softer kind of strength?” Do you think that “taking care of ourselves, whatever that looks like, can now be as celebrated as dodging death for a summit” — or will going to extremes always be rewarded?

  • “If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Barkley,” Ms. Paris says in the article, “it’s that you never know what you are capable of until you try.” Do you agree with this sentiment in general? How does it apply to your life in terms of sports or anything else?

  • What athletes do you admire most? To what extent do you think they push themselves to extremes? What have you learned from them?

Movie Memorabilia

What are your favorite movies? If you could own a prop from any of them, what would you choose?

Would it be the door frame that Rose floats on at the end of “Titanic”? The whip from “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”? An ax from “The Shining”?

All of these were recently sold at an auction. The door frame, made of balsa wood and pictured above, brought in $718,750.

How much do you think the prop you’ve chosen might be worth if it were to go up for auction? Why?

Word of the Day: prowess

The word prowess has appeared in 222 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Feb. 6 in “But What Do the Tortured Poets Think?” by Emma Madden:

Whether or not Ms. Swift herself is a poet has long been a subject of debate. Ms. Burt posited that she was “not a great page-based poet but a major songwriter. Closely related art forms, but not the same.”

… Lang Leav, an Australian poet whose work is known to go viral online, added: “I have always admired Taylor Swift for her lyrical prowess, so I was thrilled by the title of her new album. Already, it has a quirky, creative and whimsical vibe.”

How Often Do You Take Breaks From Your Phone?

How Often Do You Take Breaks From Your Phone?

Would you say you have a healthy relationship with your phone?

If yes, how did you develop that healthy relationship? What strategies do you use to maintain it?

If you feel like your phone often has more control over you than you do over it, do you ever attempt to unplug or reset your relationship with your devices? What challenges do you face when you try to do so?

In “How to Have a Healthier Relationship With Your Phone,” Eric Athas writes about ways you can use your tech in a manner that serves you, according to experts.

Their tips include, among others, paying attention to any urges to reach for your phone:

You know that urge you get to reach for your phone without realizing it? And then, before you know it, you’re an hour into a social media binge?

If you want to peacefully coexist with technology, you need to get a handle on those impulses. Start by noticing when you have an urge to lift your phone or open social media on your browser window, said Richard J. Davidson, the founder and director of the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

By becoming conscious of what you’re about to do, you’re interrupting an automatic behavior and awakening the part of your brain that governs self-control, he said. As one research article suggests, awareness of your actions can help you rein in bad habits.

Avoiding using your phone while you are moving from one location to another:

Dr. Anna Lembke, a professor of psychiatry and addiction medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, said one of the biggest problems with smartphones is what she calls “texting while running to catch a bus.” Using our devices while we’re on the move — walking from meeting to meeting, taking a child to school or catching a bus — prevents us from being more engaged in our lives, Dr. Lembke said.

“We’re missing out on a wealth of information and signaling in the world around us, and also depriving ourselves of the opportunity to process and interpret what we’ve experienced,” she said.

One way to create harmony with your technology is to limit your phone use when you’re on the move. Headed out for a walk? Turn off your notifications. Going to grab a coffee? Leave your phone on your desk. If you’re feeling brave, try powering down your phone while in transit, said Dr. Lembke, who wrote “Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence.” It won’t buzz with notifications, text messages or phone calls, which Dr. Lembke said could help you focus on the world around you.

Scheduling tiny tech breaks:

Extended vacations from your gadgets may not be possible. But if you’re trying to spend less time staring at your screens, 10- or 15- minute breaks might be a more practical option, said Dr. Adam Gazzaley, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco and author of “The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World.” You might take a quick walk, close your eyes, work on a puzzle or read a book.

And, as James A. Roberts, an expert on consumer behavior at Baylor University, suggests, controlling your environment instead of relying on sheer willpower alone:

Get an alarm clock. A phone alarm forces you to pick up your device upon waking up, making it far too easy to start reading email and alerts, Dr. Roberts said. But a stand-alone alarm clock allows you to leave your phone untouched until you decide it’s time to dive in.

Appoint an accountability partner. Dr. Roberts suggested asking a family member or friend to remind you to put down your device when you’ve been on it for too long, when someone’s trying to have a conversation with you, or at other moments when it is disrupting life in the offline world.

Delete social media from your phone. To manage social media use without quitting it entirely, you’ll need to make it less accessible, Dr. Roberts said. One tip he suggested is to delete it from your phone but keep it on your computer so you can still use it for work or keeping in touch with family and friends.

Students, read the entire article and then tell us:

  • What advice did you find to be the most helpful? What was the least helpful? Why?

  • The article refers to a challenge that thousands of Google employees have undertaken, during which they spent at least one night per week for six weeks without technology. What do you think of this challenge? Do you think you could complete it? Would you want to try?

  • Dr. Anna Lembke states that “texting while running to catch a bus” prevents us from “being more engaged in our lives.” Have you ever missed out on what was going on around you because of your phone? On the flip side, have you ever been around people who were caught up in using their phones when something really interesting happened? How do you think your life would be different if you and others were on their phones less?

  • One suggestion you just read about is deleting social media from your phone, so you’ll have to use your computer to access your account. What do you think about the idea? Who do you think it might work for? Who wouldn’t it work for? How do you think it would work for you?

  • Another suggestion is to ask someone to remind you to take breaks from your phone. Do you already have someone in your life who does that? If not, is there someone you can enlist to help you?

  • Do you have rules in your home or at school that are meant to help you have a better relationship with your phone? If so, what are they? Do they work? If not, do you wish the adults in your life did more to help you get a handle on your technology use? Why or why not?

Word of the Day: sophomoric

0
Word of the Day: sophomoric

The word sophomoric has appeared in 18 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Feb. 12 in “It’s a Birkin! No, a Dior. No, a Balenciaga. What in the World is It?” by Vanessa Friedman:

So what to make of a handbag that is “Made in Peru” … and Portugal and India and China? Not only that, but one that is a mash-up of an Hermès Birkin, a Celine Luggage bag, a Dior Saddle Bag and a Balenciaga Hourglass?

Such is the Global Supply Chain Telephone Bag, the latest piece of fashion performance art from the creative collective known as MSCHF.

Unveiled just in time for Fashion Month, the GSCTB is a Frankenstein accessory built via a telephone game of design in four far-flung countries and intended, like most of what MSCHF does, to expose consumer myths about concepts like “value,” “authenticity” and “style.” By elevating the links in the supply chain to the role of designer, the collective is skewering the whole idea of the It bag and dupe culture.

To that end, the exercise is both sophomoric and profound, like most of MSCHF’s work, an approach that has brought the group something of a cult following with collectors who include Tony Fadell, a creator of the iPod and iPhone, and Tierra Whack, the rapper.

Can you correctly use the word sophomoric in a sentence?

Based on the definition and example provided, write a sentence using today’s Word of the Day and share it as a comment on this article. It is most important that your sentence makes sense and demonstrates that you understand the word’s definition, but we also encourage you to be creative and have fun.

The Role of Psychometric Testing in Corporate L&D (Learning and Development)

The Role of Psychometric Testing in Corporate L&D (Learning and Development)

The dynamic landscape of corporate training and talent development is witnessing the emergence of a silent yet powerful ally: psychometric testing. Imagine understanding your employees’ unique strengths, quirks, and hidden talents using nothing but an 18-minute assessment. You can decode their minds and reap the benefits of unlocking their untapped potential.

Psychometrics: Beyond Mere Numbers

It may seem fantastic that each test result can be a key to unlocking the untapped potential within your employees. However, when you consider that psychometric assessments are not mere numbers, it becomes simpler to visualise how cognitive abilities, personality traits, and emotional intelligence join forces to paint a portrait of individual brilliance.

Incorporating psychometric testing into corporate L&D programmes seems especially inspiring when you consider its ability to offer objective data-driven insights instead of traditional methods, such as interviews and self-assessments, that may yield biased or inaccurate results.

Your L&D team can design and deliver more effective and personalised learning solutions by accurately identifying your employees’ learning needs, preferences, and styles. For example, you can use psychometric tests to measure your employees’ ability and willingness to learn from experience and apply the lessons to new and evolving circumstances. 

A deeper understanding of the degree of their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning new things can tell you how open your employees are to new ideas, feedback and perspectives. What could give an employer greater satisfaction than knowing that their employees are learning and learning well in their preferred visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or mixed mode?

So, without further ado, let’s explore the science behind psychometrics and its impact on L&D strategies in the corporate realm.

Unravel the Enigma: Understanding Employees’ Behaviour

Psychometric tests offer valuable insights into your employees’ behaviour patterns, preferences, and working styles. Based on a comprehensive analysis of test results, you can develop training programmes to suit individual needs, leading to better skill development and performance enhancement.

Popular Psychometric Tests to Improve Employee Performance

Famous examples include numerical reasoning tests that evaluate a candidate’s ability to work with numbers, interpret data, and solve mathematical problems. You can test your employee’s analytical skills and attention to detail based on how they analyse financial data or calculate percentages.

Abstract or inductive reasoning tests assess a person’s ability to identify patterns, solve abstract problems, and think creatively. Someone who excels in these can be expected to communicate effectively and understand complex written materials.   

One of the most studied workplace psychometric tests is the Big Five (OCEAN) Test. It assesses the employees’ conscientiousness, extraversion, sociability, openness to new experiences, and emotional stability, so you can offer them customised learning interventions that leverage their strengths while addressing developmental areas.

Another popular option is Alison’s Workplace Personality Assessment. It measures people skills, motivations, work styles, and learning styles. Learners who complete the Workplace Personality Assessment are signposted towards courses that can help them upskill where necessary while steering them toward career paths that will match their strengths.

Alison’s psychometric test is a valuable pointer for delineating employee learning and development paths. Like everything else on Alison, it is free to take. 

Elevate the Art of Recruitment

Companies can begin applying psychometric tests at the recruitment stage to identify candidates who, besides having the requisite skills, can align with the company culture. 

For example, the Metti Personality Profiler (MPP) assesses underlying personality traits necessary for essential roles to ensure a good fit for the job. Businesses leverage MPP to make informed decisions during recruitment and selection.

With EQ (Emotional Intelligence) gaining in popularity worldwide, it’s time you added EQ assessments to your recruitment process. They are designed to identify individuals with high EQ who excel in collaborative, leadership, and conflict-resolution activities. 

At the other end of the spectrum are Technical Skills Assessments, including coding tests, language proficiency tests, and typing tests to evaluate specific job-related skills and aptitudes. These assessments will help you select candidates with the necessary competencies for the role.

Nurture Unique Learning Journeys

L&D professionals can employ psychometric tests to create personalised learning paths for their colleagues based on the latter’s strengths and areas of improvement. A deliberately targeted approach like this, zeroing in on specific developmental needs, will allow you to maximise your organisation’s training initiatives. 

It’s a classic win-win that ensures a better fit between your employees and their roles, ultimately contributing to higher job satisfaction and retention rates. Let’s look at some of these tests, which act like compasses, guiding employees toward their unique North Star.

1. The VIA-IS: Unveiling Strengths

Dr Martin Seligman and Dr Chris Peterson developed the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths Test (VIA-IS). Their research on positive psychology evolved into 24 character strengths grouped into six categories:

  • Wisdom and Knowledge
  • Courage
  • Humanity
  • Justice
  • Temperance
  • Transcendence

The VIA-IS can help you identify your employees’ unique strengths, paving the way for personalised learning journeys with a particular focus on areas where they can thrive.

2. High-Potential Identification

You can also use psychometric assessments for high-potential identification. A multi-faceted view of an employee’s cognitive abilities, personality, and behavioural tendencies will help you quickly pinpoint those with high potential, design their customised development journeys, and measure their progress. Which organisation wouldn’t leap at the chance to get valuable insights that can effectively nurture talent and drive sustainable growth?

3. Strengths-Based Leadership Assessment

Derived from Gallup research on leadership, the Strengths-Based Leadership Assessment allows current and potential leaders in your organisation to understand their strengths and tailor their learning paths to emphasise growth areas while leveraging the qualities that make them exceptional.

The Magic of Team Synergy and Collaboration

Organisations keen on forming well-balanced teams can use psychometric tests to take advantage of their employees’ diverse skills, personalities, and communication styles. 

If collective achievement is your goal, look no further than the following tests to foster a collaborative work environment where team members complement each other’s strengths. Bear in mind that their effectiveness depends on how well they are integrated into the team processes and how leaders use the results to create a productive and cohesive workspace.

  • Workstyle offers personality tests and tools to help members of large and small teams better understand each other’s working styles so they can work together harmoniously and energetically. You can avail of valuable psychometric insights into individual communication styles and peak productivity hours.
  • The popular Clifton Strengths Personality Test can help you identify each team member’s unique strengths so it becomes easier to allocate tasks effectively and encourage collaboration based on the latter’s collaborative abilities. 
  • The DISC (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness) Assessment analyses behavioural styles to help team members recognise their own and others’ communication preferences, adapt to different styles, and collaborate more effectively. Team members can use the Belbin Team Role Inventory to identify their natural roles, such as coordinator, implementer, and team worker, and assume them to enhance collaboration and productivity.

A Capability Compass

The proof of the pudding is in the eating! What better way to showcase your training programmes than to have their effectiveness evaluated by psychometric tests? Your L&D team can conduct pre and post-training assessments to easily gauge the impact of specific learning interventions on employee performance and skill development. The assessments facilitate data-driven decisions and customised future training programmes.

  • Your sales team can undergo a pre-training assessment so your L&D team can assess the former’s current knowledge of sales techniques, product features, and customer interaction skills. After completing the training, you can evaluate their negotiation skills, ability to handle objections, and performance in simulated sales scenarios.
  • If relevant, you can have a pre-training assessment to identify individual employees’ proficiency in specific technical skills, such as coding, data analysis, or project management. A post-training assessment will prove handy in gauging skill enhancement and application in real-world tasks.
  • Psychometric testing serves as a valuable tool in shaping corporate L&D strategies. It offers comprehensive insights into employee behaviour, facilitates recruitment decisions, personalises learning paths, promotes teamwork, and assesses training outcomes.
