Management Self Reflection
Personality:
When the time comes to hire a person for a certain job position it is important to consider one’s personality because a certain personality-type can be better fit for a specific job. Personality tests are used to measures one’s personality and this is a useful tool in helping managers decide who would be the best at the job and who they should hire. The most common test that is used to measure a person’s personality is through self-report surveys. Individuals rate and evaluate themselves on a series of different questions. The one draw back to this, however; is that some respondents may lie to make a good impression. Furthermore, two contributing factors of personality are hereditary and environmental factors. However, research has shown that heredity contributes to one’s personality more than the environment. Moreover, when we talk about one’s character we talk about their personality traits. I would describe myself as being outgoing, talkative, spontaneous, loyal, caring and trustworthy.
The two types of assessments that one can now take to help identify a person’s personality traits are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Big Five Model. In class, we took the Myers- Briggs Type Indicator assessment and my results showed that I am E (Extraverted), N (Intuitive), F (Feeling), J (Judging). This indicates that I am sociable, sympathetic, approachable, and responsible. Also, that I am loyal and caring and that I like to help people out and find potential in everyone. These results are similar to how I identified myself earlier. This suggests that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator gave me accurate results based on the questions that I answered. The Big Five Personality Model consists of five personality traits that are useful in understanding an individual’s behavior in an organization. The Big Five factors are: (1) Extraversion, (2) Agreeableness, (3) Conscientiousness, (4) Emotional Stability, and (5) Openness to experience. Research has
