homework -Work Place Questioner-
.
Your score is 45 on a scale of 0 to 100 = Preference for Tolerance for Ambiguity
Your score indicates that you have a moderate Tolerance for Ambiguity and might be willing to give up job security for more opportunity. In countries/cultures with a Tolerance for Ambiguity, conflict in organizations is perceived as natural, and rules may be broken for pragmatic reasons. If you work in countries/cultures with a Need for Certainty, such as Japan, France, and Greece, you might react by creating a micro-environment that would shield you from the burden of what you might perceive as excessive structures, rules, and regulations. In countries with a high Need for Certainty, loyalty to an employer is seen as an advantage; a specialist career is preferred over a career in management.
I choised Japan and Canada.
Maybe I agree with it.
I might react by creating a micro-environment
that would shield me from the burden of what
I might perceive as excessive structures, rules, and regulations.
And I think that
loyalty to an employer is seen as an advantage.

Welcome Colgate University Students!
I talked with girl who name is Yurie.
So, She is Japanese.
I'm terrible with English.
I'm weak in speaking and listening.
Thus, I cannot speak anything by being nervous
in front of the foreigner.
Therefore, I choosed Japanese.
But, I don't think this is going to end well.
Just make the best of it.
