This paper focuses on my Prentice Hall Self-Assessment Library personality results. My Jungian personality reveals I am extrovert, intuitive, feeling and judging “ENFJ”. The personality test has been integral part in shaping my workplace behavior and interactions with others. After completing the self-assessment, I realized several traits about my goals, personality values, and communication. Also, the results conveyed how I can develop my weaknesses to grow into a better professional, leader, and friend in my daily work life and activities. Becoming a better listener allows for managers to clearly understand their personnel and aids in developing a cohesive relationship. One way a manager succeeds through their team is by delegation. …show more content…

According to Self-Assessment Library, “conscientiousness is someone who is responsible, dependable, persistent, and achievement oriented. High scores indicate that you pursue fewer goals in a purposeful way” (Self-Assessment Library 1.1, 2008). As I review the results in part one, the results support my goal-oriented trait. During my senior year of high school, I established short term and long-term goals for reaching retirement at an early age through budgeting, real estate investing and contributing towards my retirement account. Per the results, I am described to have a type A personality, which describes me as “strong need to get a lot done in a short time period and difficult to get a long with because they are so driven” (Self Assessment Library 1.3, 2008). I agree with the type A personality at work because I prefer to stay busy with a lot of tasks rather than just have a few. Also, I feel a stronger sense of accomplishment by having more tasks and completing the tasks as soon as I can. At work I supervise a team of nine members, and this has allowed me to have the privilege of developing my leadership skills and become a mentor to my …show more content…

Understanding my strengths and weaknesses is a useful tool to manage personnel. According to Fischer, “organizational commitment has some relation to performance” (Fischer, slide 7). I learned specifically that I operate too fast on projects because of my type A personality. Operating too quickly on projects contributes towards failing to make critical decisions and brainstorm the most effective way to execute a task. This is important because if you are leading people, then there is risk of allowing unnecessary work. For managers it is important to understand the organizational behavior of a workplace. According to Wicker & Breuer (2013), “the results showed that human, financial, infrastructure, and cultural resources were important drivers of organizational problems” (Wicker & Breuer, 2013, p. 481). Based on the research, there are several factors that contribute to organizational problems. By understanding ones personality and workplace culture this will help mitigate these types of problems to become a better

The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) was designed by Leslie C. Morey in 1991 as an alternative for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory revised (MMPI-2) to provide relevant information to make a clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and screening for Axis I and Axis II psychopathology in patients 18 or older. However, the PAI does offer both child and adolescent versions in which a psychologist may utilize this assessment personality on these individuals known as the PIC for children and PAI-A for adolescents. Upon administrating the PAI for the adult population, an individual can expect a duration ranging between 40-50 minutes to complete the PAI and requires a comprehensive reading level between 4th and 6th grade. The PAI assesses abnormal personality consisting of 22 scales and 31 subscales in total which contains a 344 self-report Likert questionnaire scored with a 4-point ordinal scale. Scoring of the PAI consists of 22 non-overlapping scales made up of 4 validity scales, 11 clinical scales, 5

An efficient staff understands the goal and objectives of the group and is prepared to go the extra mile for the attainment of the set goals. Understanding the personality types help in a great deal in identifying suitable staffs for specific jobs. My understanding of the lecture on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) helped to appreciate the various combinations of perspectives on personality and knowing myself. This perspective on personality types recognizes that each individual is unique but suggests that there are some broad psychological preferences that may help explain typical patterns of behavior. It reveals how individuals become accomplished at particular ways of doing things.

It is important to understand that the employees in a workplace come from different backgrounds with different culture (Eisenhardt & Bhatia, 2002). This implies that their perception to different issues varies and this can be a root cause of personality issues. Conflict among the employees can also be attributed to discrimination by the supervisors and the top management which lead to rebellion and internal conflict in the organization. It is important that organizations determine the root cause of the problems before deciding on the best approach to solving this

I am annoyed by coworkers and subordinates who seem as though they are flying by the seat of their pants. I like to make decisions, while perceivers tend to perpetually stall for information, while carrying a “wait-and-see” attitude. I need to be conscious of the perceiver’s differences and attempt to be more patient with employees with differing personality types. It was interesting to read that although I feel as though my personality type is the most productive and fair, “your strength maximized becomes a liability (Kroeger et al., 2002, p. 46).” In other words, I need to be willing to step out of my comfort zone while being careful not to neglect my own
