My First Of My Five Traits For Emotional Stability

Personality theories, or models, are metaphors for describing something which is intrinsically indescribable, the human personality. Currently, one of the most popular approaches among psychologists for studying personality theory is the Five-Factor Model (FFM) or Big Five dimensions of personality. This essay will explore the 'Big Five ' personality constructs and seek to explain how useful they are to understanding how people are likely to perform in a work situation. In conclusion, this essay will also discuss some of the arguments against the relevance and accuracy of personality testing within the employment context.

During high school, I faced an enormous challenge: episodic acute stress. People that suffer from this are short-tempered due to stress in an attempt to accomplish their goals. It can also cause a person to be hostile towards their loved ones. In high school, my parent's demands were my goals. Trying to handle a full schedule of AP’s, honors, clubs, and a sport while trying to fulfill my parent's demand took a tow on my mental and physical health. As time went by, my episodic acute stress worsen. I began lashing out at my peers becoming more aggressive at every person who tries to approach me. It also came to a point where I couldn't think properly and was experiencing constant chest pain. Due to my unstable state, my grades began to decrease

My second pillar is my characteristic of safety. I believe I have lived my life safely, but also just as freely and exciting as well. Safety is an important characteristic to me because I think not having this characteristic is dangerous. To live a healthy life, one must know how to stay safe. I believe I have

Assessment techniques and the techniques used are a part of every counselor’s career. It is important that all counselors are aware of the different assessment procedures available as well as the risks and benefits associated with them. I chose to assess the case of Jessica, a medical resident, who has a very high pace and stressful job. She is also a perfectionist and can be very self-critical. Lately, she feels that she is not performing at the level she once was. As a result, she has been experiencing feelings of shame and worthlessness. Jessica has also been increasingly fatigued yet is having difficulty falling asleep at night. She also admits having difficulty concentrating, little interest in sex and has become increasingly irritable

My Big Five Personality Test results provide implications for how I might practice social work and relate with others. I scored high on the dimensions of Openness and Conscientiousness, 88% and 83% respectively, suggesting that I am open-minded, organized, and think before I speak (Cournoyer, 2011). This will help me to approach client situations strategically. My percentile score for Extraversion was 79, which suggests that I am a good communicator, a skill that will be very helpful as a social worker. I scored in the 57th percentile for Agreeableness, which pertains to the way a person relates to and interacts with others (Cournoyer, 2011). Since my score was only in the 57th percentile, I may need to be mindful to ensure that I present myself

Emotional stability is the fourth trait of the Big Five personality traits.” Low scores of emotional stability mean that the individual is highly reactive in situations, which would not affect most people.” On the other hand, high scores show that a person is more stable, do not get upset as easily, and is relatively calm. I was not

I have well-developed people skills and excellent relationships, though possessing the Feeling (F) trait, having excellent analytical abilities; though Introverted (I), being the defender of others. Consequently, possessing this particular personality trait could be very beneficial as I will continue my career in the healthcare field. Furthermore, with the distinct preference of sensing over intuition focusing on the present, the "here and now" aspects of situations and approach, see things as they are, nonetheless, a concrete thinker.

In questionnaire #2 I found out that I scored very high in certain categories emotional stability, and agreeableness. First of all, emotional stability can be defined as a stable temperament. This means that the person could control their temper when needed. This person will maintain their temper until someone disturb it. Also

On my stress assessment quiz, I scored an 8. It was on the AllPsych website and called the Stress Vulnerability Quiz. My score was relatively high because the high vulnerability range for the quiz was 6-10. I was recommended to focus on the more positive aspects of my behavior and change the negative ones that affect my stress level/vulnerability. Some stressors in my life would be school, SAT and ACT, college, and money. The biggest stressor would be school. My need to maintain an A in all my classes combine with my parent’s expectations overstress and worry me. I also don’t manage my sleep very well and tend to overreact on small matters. To reduce my stress at school, I need to manage my time better. I need to plan out what I need to do

My most dominant color in the personality trait test was the color gold. Some of the traits that describe me best are in the values category dependability and accountability is very important to me. When I am working with someone or doing anything that requires being with more than just myself, I am hopeful that they are accountable and I can depend on them doing their part of the project. Another trait that best describes me is that I like to do things that have a purpose I am someone who doesn’t like to waste their time, so if I am doing anything that will not have any type of effect on anyone or anything, I will not waste my time doing that certain task. I would much rather be spending my time on doing something useful or full of

The independent variables for this study will be the scores on the Big 5 factor personality inventory (Goldberg, 1999). The dependent variable for this study will be the number of reprimands documented by the Board of Psychology and the court database.

In my opinion I do not have many significant stressors in my life such as financial issues or family problems, although I have recently become more stressed when it comes to money after having to quit my job due to a lack of time in my schedule. Although I wasn’t required to have a job to pay for things such as my tuition or rent and utilities it was nice having my own money to spend as needed. Now I am having to restrict myself from buying as much as I had before because I feel guilty using my parent’s money when they are already paying for so much. One of my biggest constant stressors is my academic performance, I have become so concerned with maintaining a high academic standard that I become very overwhelmed. When this happens I push other important things and people to the side as I become more consumed with school. Along with my classes I take on a lot of responsibilities, probably more than I should, when it comes to campus organizations. I spend so much of my energy trying to please others that I forget about myself and what I need, this which overtime adds to the stress I accumulate on a daily basis. As I am reaching the end of my senior year and am trying to make decisions about graduate schools and the type of job I would like to obtain after I finish school this adds even more stress and anxiety to my life.

I scored a 15 in the category of neuroticism. Per the Shivy handout a low test score indicates I am “more secure and relaxed than most others, even in times of stress” (Victoria A. Shivy). In the workplace a low score will affect me by “you can handle high-pressure or stressful workplaces better than other people. You may note even notice the “office politics” that wear on your co-workers. You are a person to whom others look for calm when stressful things happen, because you keep a cool head” (Victoria A. Shivy). This score is extremely true to my personality and how I handle work situations. I am interested to know if anyone else in
