Personality 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 word search in Google or other search engines on “"big five personality test" and find an online personality test that will tell you how 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.

For your second or third post, 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.

Module 4 Discussions

For your Module 4 SLP, you rated your organization along the following dimensions: detail-oriented, team-oriented, innovative, aggressive, outcome-oriented, and people-oriented. Give a brief overview of how you rated your organizational on these dimensions.

Then do a word search in Google or another search engine on “Quiz: What is your Corporate Culture” or similar search terms to see if you can find an organizational 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 ratings of the five dimensions you used for your SLP? Are the cultural dimensions you took from the quiz more useful than the standard text book dimensions of organizational culture that you read about in the background readings?
