...Plan Self Assessments are quizzes that help evaluate employees on their skills, interests, personality, and values. “As ethical problems have increased in organizations, integrity tests have gained popularity. These paper-and-pencil tests measure factors such as dependability, carefulness, responsibility, and honesty; they have proven to be powerful predictors of supervisory ratings of job performance and of theft, discipline problems, and excessive absenteeism” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, pg. 1). As a manager for Riordan Manufacturing, three employees took a series of self-assessment tests for my organization. The analysis and interpretation scores of all three are positive and all three would make a great contribution to the organization. Positive people cognitively process more efficiently and are more productive. Job Satisfaction and Engaged High job satisfaction was above the range that determines lower levels of absenteeism, and their general attitude toward work is positive. Their engaged scores were also high, which defines these employees are in a positive state of motivation and fulfillment. “Individuals who score high in this category are loyal, dedicated, willing to devote considerable time to work, feel inspired by and proud of their work, and become immersed and absorbed while performing their work” (Stephen P. Robbins/University of Phoenix, 2005-2009). My employees are content coming to work and will possess good work ethics and values. They are self motivated...

...The five self-assessments are things I know about myself but never asked why; or I just didn’t think about them. Furthermore, these self-assessments indicate areas where I need improvement, and will also serve to help me in my professional and personal lives. I scored a fifty-two (52) on the communication quiz, which indicates I’m a capable communicator but sometimes experiences communication problems. It is interesting to note that 87% of the class scored within my range of thirty-six to fifty-five (36 – 55). My lowest scores were in Planning Your Message and Encoding. In order to become a better communicator, I plan to perfect my listening skills and be more conscious of planning how, when, and what I say. On the Problem-Solving Skills self-assessment quiz I scored a fifty-seven (57), revealing my approach to problem-solving was “hit or miss.” The low scores I received on the quiz were in Find the Problem and Find Ideas. I answered the questions based on my extensive knowledge of the...

...Grand Canyon University: MGT605 April 2, 2013 EQ Assessment Emotional Intelligence (IE) is an important part of the social and business world. IE can be described as ability to understand, control, and evaluate emotions. Understanding and ability to manage the emotions is important, because emotion is characterizing person’s emotional intelligence. To better understand my emotional intelligence, I took two self-assessment quizzes on-line. The results of the assessments allowed me to recognize and analyze my managerial competencies, and learn about my emotional strengths and weaknesses. The results revealed that my EQ was high on first quiz and above the average on the second one. I learned that I am strong in Self-Management; I am skilled at interpreting, understanding, and acting upon my emotions. I can keep disruptive emotions and impulses under control. I can manage my responsibilities, maintain high standards of honesty, adapt to the changes, and act quick upon the opportunities. I also scored high in Social-Awareness because I am sensitive to the emotional climate around me, my friends, my family, and my peers. I can express understanding to problems of the others and I have ability deal with social or emotional conflicts. All the characteristics of my emotional intelligence I have just described are true and quite accurate. Some of strengths were given to me by the nature, some I learned through life, and some I developed through the training. I am private pilot...

...prior to the assessment, a preview of the assessment, along with an explanation of how data received from the test was used to develop future instruction. Differentiated instruction along with the inclusion of technology was used to promote proficiency in all students. Part I The learning objective to be measured with the summative assessment of this assignment is “students will be able to demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English subject verb agreement” (CCSS.ELA-LiteracyL.8.3.A). Students were prepared for the assessment by the use of traditional and differentiated instruction, formative assessment and self reflection. Self reflection was introduced to students during an anticipatory set seen during the introduction of the lesson. As students entered the classroom, they were presented with sample verbs and subjects on the SmartBoard, and asked to create sentences with them. For example: The red ball, The black dog, The yellow school bus,crossed the road, rolled into the street, chased the children. An example of a correct sentence would read, The black dog chased the children. After students...

So when you go to the website, you will login by picking the student option and then they will ask for a Group Code: dzcbct. This will give you access to my website. I have created a 5-question quiz Place Value and Rounding, which is a formative assessment that will need to be completed prior to every quiz day, which is Wednesday. I will introduce the objective of this lesson, introduce the vocabulary and will let then know the purpose of learning place value and rounding and how we do things in our daily lives. This is a formative assessment at it will let me know who is paying attention in class and understands the material and I will have to make sure that I am giving those few students the extra attention they need to make sure that they can keep up with all of the material that we are going over.

...assignment. In reflecting on how much technology has evolved over the years growing up, I learned that living without it would be difficult. However, learning about techno-stress was an interesting topic where we often rely on technology on a daily basis which causes our stress level to rise. As a result, we get too involved or “plugged-in” with technology that it can be over stimulating for us which can lead to dangerous situations. As much as technology has become so productive in our daily lives, I learned that taking a break from our computers and cell phones can be a good thing once in a while to decrease our stress levels. One aspect of week 4’s classroom resources that surprised me was the self-assessment quiz on the Math and English content. It’s a comprehension quiz to assess one’s ability’s to answer questions in...
