the personality assessment and reflection assignment in the FYE 105 class helped to put my personality traits, and type into perspective with the given definitions and examples throughout the project. I discovered that my personality type was “the Defender”, and my top strengths are being loyal, hardworking, practical, and supportive. Conversely, my top weaknesses are taking things to personally, overloading myself, repressing my feelings, and being shy. With this information in my “mental toolbox” I will be able to focus on and utilize my strengths to ensure success while at the same time working to build up my weaknesses and reduce their impact. Having this information and consistently working to improve myself by utilizing what I have learned about my personality will allow me to align individual and professional goals in a productive way to achieve my career pathway, and personal

The four functions of a manager are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. These are key elements that managers must understand to run a successful organization. I will view each concept as well as their roles to acknowledge how these functions have been related to my personal experience in the work environment. Behind the scenes of a manager, they spend an equal amount of time planning so that he or she can successfully achieve the leading and controlling functions. These functions are standard for any industry that is striving to maintain a strong organization. While reviewing this paper, try to think of the four functions as a method that is established to build on each other. The four functions must be performed efficiently, and when done correctly, an organization will reap the accomplishments from a well-defined plan. My own experiences of how the four functions operate illustrates that each role requires a manager to devote time and patience in order to ensure that the main principles are achieved.

To understand personality there are three main aspects that must be looked at: LArsen and Buss Definition of personality, The Six Domains of knowledge of personality, and Costa and McCrae's Five Factor Theory.

Personality measure are increasingly being used by managers and human resources professions to evaluate the suitable of job applicants for positions across many levels in an organization (Goffin & Rothstein, 2006).

The specific intellectual or physical abilities required for adequate job performance depend on

The discussion concerning the use of personality traits in organizational management has been ongoing for quite some time. Researchers have gone into frenzy to prove that it is a good idea while other scholars remain unimpressed by these claims refuting the use of personality traits on the basis of little validity of the information available to be used and the fact that personality tests can be tweaked by an individual to yield what he perceives as better results. This paper discusses how the research agenda proposed by Judge et al. (2008) will help to counter these criticisms by first providing more information that can be used as a basis and making the information so specific that it is more difficult to fake. It also takes a look at how the measurement of core self-evaluation can help in solving questions of job satisfaction and performance, to help both the employer and employee.
