Self-Assessment Personality is what makes a person. Personalities are traits that a person exhibits. How can you measure personality? There are several ways that an organization or manager can forecast what type of person would be best for a certain job. Independent self-surveys are available for managers to predict how an individual’s behavior will be in the workplace.
For this assignment, three family members were asked to take self-assessment tests. Self-assessment tests help a person examine their values, access their work environment, and help a person make uniformed decisions about their current lifestyle. Self-assessment can guide you and steer you to implementing a realistic game plan and achieve your goals. The first set of tests is based on emotions.
How Are You Feeling Right Now
This scale measures whether a person has positive or negative emotions. On the outside someone may appear happy and carefree, but are struggling on the inside. For this assessment, three family members were given this assessment and the results show that all three people had positive emotions. One family member had just seen her first grandchild so her first five answers were quite positive. The other two family members had the exact same answers which did not surprise me since they are mother and daughter. People with positive emotions are more creative, have a high level of job satisfaction. People with negative emotions are less motivated and need encouragement to boost their self-esteem.

What’s My Emotional Intelligence Score?
Emotional intelligence is an intelligence having to do with discerning and understanding emotional information. Emotional Intelligence Score defines a person’s ability to succeed in coping with demands and pressures. The higher the EI score the more a person can communicate with others, avoid problems such as drugs and drinking. People with a high EI score can help people with a low EI score by helping them create a positive and harmonious workplace. All three family members scored fairly high and have no problems with empathy and social skills.
What’s My Affect Intensity?
Sometimes people fly off the handle, scream or just keep their feelings inside. People differ in the way they present their emotions. Emotions at work can create work hazards. If a manager is always yelling at an employee, this employee will have low job satisfaction and could affect other employees. Two family members who did this self-assessment were in the mid-40s, whereas the third family member in the high 20s. The family members in the high 40s are sometimes pressured at work, under a lot of stress and always trying to multi-task. Emotions at work can be good and bad. Helping a co-worker cope with stress or sudden emergency shows compassion. However, being loud, obnoxious or angry at co-workers may result in burnout.
Am I A Deliberate Decision Maker
The next group of tests is focused on the workplace and how engaged and satisfied employees can be. The first self-assessment test is based on how to make decisions. People make rash decisions, on a whim and sometimes without even thinking. This test assesses how deliberate you are when making decisions. In this assessment, all three family members were very close in score in the mid 20’s. These scores mean that they do not make rash decisions and think before making the decision. They may sometimes be quick in making a decision, but overall think before they act.
How Satisfied Am I With My Job
This assessment relates to job satisfaction. A very high score means a high level of job satisfaction. Two family members scored a 91 and the third family member scored 72. The higher scores reflect that job satisfaction is very high. They enjoy their jobs, are respected and trusted in their positions and feel they are amply rewarded. The third member with the lower score does not have a high level of job satisfaction and sometimes feels inadequate in her position. When someone feels a lower level of job satisfaction, it is important for management to guide and help this employee. It may just be a need to be part of the team or my need training.
Am I Engaged
This assessment relates to “How Satisfied Am I With My Job”. A high level of job satisfaction reflects job motivation and fulfillment. If you are fulfilled and motivated at work, you tend to be loyal and committed. If you are fully engaged in your job, you will put in extra hours, be dedicated and persistent. Managers will reward you and you will have high job satisfaction. People who are more satisfied and committed will always perform better. Disengaged employees need to take a step back and decide whether this position is what you want, or would you feel better motivated somewhere else.
In summary, all three family members have high emotional scores and two of the three have a high level of job satisfaction. These tests can give employers a guide to who is best suited for certain jobs and certain teams.
