Traits and Personality Tests Subscribe
One area
of controversy is how well you can accurately assess the personalities of
employees or potential employees. One popular way is through various
questionnaires.
For your
first post, give the following information:
How would
you rate yourself on each of the Big Five personality traits based on only the
description of the trait? Would your friends agree with your self-ratings?
After
your own self-ratings, do a search in Google or other search engines on
“big five personality test” and find an online personality test that
will tell you how you rate on the Big Five dimensions. Take the test and
compare your results with your initial self-ratings. How do you feel about the
personality test you took? Was it accurate or not very helpful? Also, provide
the link to the test you found in case any of your classmates want to use it.
Compare
your results with those of your classmates, and try to find a classmate with
opposite traits as you as well as one with very similar traits.

Okay, one
more questionnaire. But first explain whether or not you think you are a team
player or more someone who works better alone. After your own self-rating, go
online and do a search for team player quiz. Report your results and compare
with your initial self-ratings. Also, provide the link to the test you found in
case any of your classmates want to use it.
Finally,
take a look at the Modules 1-3 discussions and the responses from your
classmates and assess whether this class has a diverse variety of different
personalities and other characteristics, or if you think your classmates
generally have similar characteristics. If you and your classmates were all to
work at a company for the same manager, do you think this manager would have
any easy or hard time managing this group?

detail-oriented, team-oriented, innovative, aggressive, outcome-oriented, and
people-oriented. Give a brief overview of how you rated your organization on
these dimensions.
Then do a
search in Google or another search engine on Quiz: What Is Your Corporate

culture quiz. Take the quiz and report your result. How does it compare to your
ratings from your SLP? Does it better describe your organization than the
