...1. How would you define personality? * Personality can be made up of each individual pattern of their culture, qualities, thoughts, feeling and behaviors which makes them unique. One’s personality can be traits developed from his or her ancestors, surroundings, as well as unconscious aspects delivering dreams and fantasies. * * 2. What are some key personality features that define you? I have a number of personality traits; however, aside from them all my highest priority trait that I use daily would be dependable and independent. I use these daily because I am a single mother that has been raised in a single parent household with four other siblings. * 3. What key concepts or “constructs” are used to explain your personality? * The key concepts I chose to use would explain my personality and how it has lived within me from child hood into my teens years and adulthood to motherhood. I have always been one out of five to be dependable upon my biological mother for years and this day forward. I depended upon her support, dedication, motivational support, and guidance. My mother raised me to depend on myself and use her motivation as my strengths and raise my daughter to depend upon me for my guidance and support. My mother has always been a role model and hero to me. I tend to raise my daughter with support and guidance but I am also, teaching her to become independent upon herself and use my motivation and guidance for her future goals. I...

...5-Factor Personality Model 5- Factor Personality model is a five trait dimension. It includes Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness. Highly extraversion people are energetic and sociable and low extraversion people are reserved and quiet. Agreeableness is tendency to be accepting, conforming and trusting. Low scorer tends to less corporative Conscientiousness means to be thorough, organized and controlled. A person who scores high on conscientiousness tends to me dependable and a person who scores low tends to more likely distracted. Neurotic individuals are anxious, insecure and hostile. People with high neuroticism tends to be emotionally distressed versus relaxed. Last trait is openness. This trait reflects open-mindedness in culture. High scorer tends to be imaginative, creative and low scorer tends to be down to earth and more practical in nature. I have scored average in all fields. The test provides a score which determines where you place among other people who have completed the test as well. I do not find the test to be accurate. The result is vague and not detailed. This test may not help the companies during hiring selection. The result does not have any underlying cause behind them. The result depends on how many test takers were involved and. The test does not allow individual to determine their exact traits unlike other personality tests. We are assumed to have all five traits. Moreover, Myer-Briggs is considered most popular...

...Big Five Personality Assessment Link to my result: http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/results/?oR=0.725&cR=0.472&eR=0.406&aR=0.667&nR=0.719&y=1990&g=f The Big Five Personality test is a personality assessment test. It is a short and fast assessment. The traits it looks at are extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experience. I took the test and agreed with my results. That was, until I read the books interpretation. My results were fairly accurate. I am very split down the middle with experiencing new things. I will try everything once, but I won’t seek out new experiences. Once they come to me, I give them a shot. Sometimes I can be disorganized and do things somewhat haphazardly. A lot of times I will go out of my way to avoid people. I interact with people at work constantly and it drains me. In my personal life I compensate by avoiding social situations. I am not forgiving to a point of ignorance, but I am forgiving and understand things happen. I don’t hold a grudge or get irritable either. Being anxious is in my nature and I tend to worry about things I do. I am way harder on myself than I am anyone else. The book, on the other hand, makes it seem like every one of traits is a bad thing. Which I do not agree with. It states that extraverts tend to be happier than introverts. When I was younger I was very social and extroverted, now I am the opposite. I can say I am happier now than I have ever been. I am also very good...

...The Big 5 Personality Inventory The highest scoring area of the “Big 5 Personality Inventory” was “openness to Experience. The assessment said that, ”people with high scores are described as adventurous, imaginative, and variety-loving (Manning 311).” I scored 34 out of 35 in this area, and it is one of the three areas that do well with leadership. The reason why I score high in this area is because I have experienced different cultures through the military, and have an appreciation for music and art. I spent two years in South Korea, one in Afghanistan, one in Germany, and have lived all over the United States. Every job I have worked at I am able to build relationships and respect with coworkers. I understand how people act from different cultures and respect others beliefs. This is helpful in leadership because I don’t feel the need to model everyone after my image and allow them to express their own. People that score high in this area are more interested in fantasy than fact. I think I have a happy medium for both. I have a down to earth sense of reality, but some people in this area may not. My career as an engineer could use creative and imaginative ideas. Imagination and creativity is what revolutionize the world. It is helpful to be able to think outside of the box when brainstorming new ideas. This personality trait is very helpful when it comes to school and teamwork. I am open to others ideas and different cultural influence. I don’t have a bias when it comes...

...Kyle Schade 2/27/14 M: 5:00-7:50 Baek-Kyoo Joo The Big Five Personality Test Society always strives for the “American Dream”, which is in the back of every human’s mind no matter what they say. Everyone is wired in the world to say yes to be rich or wealthy because there is a lot more fun and things you can do with more money than with less, that’s just common knowledge. But for me my American Dream is not just a job, but a lifestyle that I want to strive for. My “American Dream” would be to have a very beneficially paying job and a supportive/loving family. A lot of people now-a-days think that money is the end all be all, when I reality it’s what you do with your time and money that make people better off. Specifically for me, I would love to work at a place like Google. The reason why is because Google was voted the most enjoyable place to work. The movie the “Internship” shows just exactly how well employees get treated and how much fun of an environment it is to be around. I feel like the happier and the more stimulated the environment is the harder the employees work. Google however is not my dream job. If I had to pick a job for life I would pick working at Apple’s Headquarters. Apple is a very successful company and I have heard nothing but good things about Apple products. The products they provide are everywhere you look. You could not walk into a college classroom without seeing one IPod, IPad, IPhone, or Apple computer. I picked that as my dream job because...

...Personality is an aspect of a person or an individuals’ character as to how he or she reacts to and interact with other people. In psychology, an individuals personality are the sum total of the mental, emotional, physical and social characteristics. For this assignment, we are required to take the personality test and write a comprehensive analysis of ourselves and match our personality to the most suitable job based on the big five-personality model, which are extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness and conscientiousness. I took the test and it shows that the highest score is 4 out of 5 for agreeableness, and openness comes second with a score of 3.4 out of 5. According to resources, agreeableness describes people who are fond of working with other people. In general, individuals who have this trait are trustworthy, cooperative, considerate, friendly, and helpful. These people are easily liked and they can easily interact or communicate well with others because they have a positive view of human nature. In a career test, social harmony is one of the most important goals for individuals who grades high on this particular personality trait. And usually, women are more incline to score higher in agreeableness than men. Agreeable individuals are keen on compromising their interest for others. These individuals find that it is vital to get along with the society. Individuals who scores low on agreeableness trait or are disagreeable tend to put their...

...The most widely used framework to measure personality is the five –factor model or FFM for short (McCrae & Costa, 2013). This approach uses a framework to assess the individual’s personality level on each of the five domains. These factors are Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience. “One of the original ideas behind these five basic factors is that they are “orthogonal”, which means that getting a high or low score on any one of them is not supposed to predict whether a person will get a high or low score on any of the others” (Funder, 2007, p. 224). Using Juno MacGuff, from the movie Juno in mind, I generated a report so I can figure out her percentile scores using a personality test called the IPIP-Neo (Halfon, Malkovich, Kovick, Smith, & Reitman, 2007). Her factor and facet percentile scores can be seen in Table 1. Figure 1 shows Juno’s factor scores, while Figure 2 illustrates scores for each facet. FFM Results Juno’s score on the Neuroticism factor is 25 (low range). There is a substantial score of divergence among the facets from 15 (Anxiety) to 51 (Vulnerability), which is a generally strong agreement. Most of her facets were in the...

...This assignment was designed put us, the student in a situation where we are placed in the supervisor position. In this assignment put the supervisor in a position of having to pick and choose what tasks to do themselves and what tasks should be delegated out after coming in and finding their basket full of tasks that need to be dealt with. When you obtain the position of supervisor, there is usually far too much for just you to do, therefore it is important to learn what to delegate and who to delegate it to. The most important tasks should be done by the supervisor but as far as things such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing...
