In the survival activity, our group consisted of seven team members. None of us knew each other from the past, the group was created randomly by our TA. The purpose of this survival activity was to rank each situation to survive on an island. The group made decisions by voting on each situation and whichever had the most votes was picked. This type of group decision making was the most convenient because everyone had a choice. The group communicated in a proper manner, each person was given a chance to speak and input ideas. Not everyone was talking equally; in my case I was listening and joining in whenever the decision sided my opinion. Some of my personality factors that helped the group were agreeableness, encouraging, and gatekeeper. …show more content…
The purpose of this activity was to show team work, connect with strangers, contribute, and display our personality factors in order to survive on an island. The Big Five Personality Models The Big five model displays five different personalities and the actions created from those personalities can either make a positive or negative impact in the community. The five personalities are Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness to Experience and Extroversion. Each of these have both positive and negative outcomes depending on the situation. Conscientiousness is “a personality dimension describing people who are careful, dependable, and self-discipline” (38). Agreeableness comes in the category of “Courteous, good-natured, empathic, and caring” (37). Neuroticism Is “a personality dimension describing people with high levels of anxiety, Hostility, depression and self-consciousness” (38). Openness to experience is a personality trait which goes to a person who is “Imaginative,creative, curious,sensitive” (37). Extroversion “characterizes people who are outgoing, talkative, sociable and assertive” (38). When doing the exercise for the big five in week 3, my answers were different than expected. My Score for Conscientiousness is 69%, which means I set goals and pursue them with determination and people regard me as reliable and hard-working. For agreeableness, my score was 71%, which shows that I have a strong interest in others’
I found the test results of the Big Five personality assessment to be an interesting and very accurate description of myself. After completing this assessment, I was able to analyze my personality in depth. I found this information to be helpful knowledge and provide insight about myself, as well as being crucial in examining my personality traits. The big five is also referred to the OCEAN model of personality, and stands for the main traits used to describe personalities. This acronym stands for openness to experience/intellect, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. After taking the test I was then given percentile scores that allowed me to compare myself with other people who have taken the test online as well, therefore making it a more meaningful comparison.
The task of motivating individuals in a group setting requires an understanding of each member’s personality attribute. As such, experts successfully devised theories to help in assessing people’s personality traits. The essence of this evaluation is that many ostensibly discrepancies in a human behavior is orderly and steady because of basic differences in the ways individuals desire to use their perception and judgment. Hence, this paper details my personality
Humans are social beings who organize themselves into groups that share a common interest and are essential for discovering, developing meaning, and self-worth. Groups are important for everyday work, and they work toward achieving a goal. Groups increase the information of one person by combining ideas and knowledge. They can also help people in their social life through interacting with other people and bypassing their comfort zone. Not much work can be done alone, whereas a group can help solve problems and assist each other in work. Our group shows example of docile, zealous, humble, and diligent whether it be in our group or each members and everyone contribute to keep the group working.
The five-factor model of personality or Big Five has five dimensions which underlie human behavior. These dimension are extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experience (Robbins & Judge, 2008). My scores to the assessment are as follows: extroversion – 5, agreeableness -10, conscientiousness – 12, emotional stability – 5, openness to experience -11 (Robbins & Judge, 2008). Two of my strengths are that I am dependable and conscientious. I received a moderate score on openness to experience. I am open to new experiences. I am imaginative, intellectual, and artistically sensitive. I enjoy writing and the performing arts. My score on agreeableness was moderate. The analysis and interpretation described a person who possessed agreeableness as being trusting,
A more modern factor analysis has condensed Allport’s model dramatically from 4,000 descriptives of personality to 5 overall dimensions of personality known as the Big Five (formed by McCrae and Costa). They are openness- the willingness to experience new things, extroversion- assertiveness and sociability, the opposite being introversion (quiet and shy), neuroticism- emotional stability, those with high levels of neuroticism may be anxious and un-emotional and low level people- calm and
The Five Factor Model theory was developed based on extensive research building on Allport’s lexical approach to describing an individual’s personality (King, 2016), and it allows us to better understand the main parts of an individual’s personality. Through numerous studies, scientists identified and grouped traits that overlapped (King, 2016). As a result, they established these five broad factors: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. They are often identified as the “Big Five” since the factors cover such a large portion of personality associated terms. For instance, the factor agreeableness is one broad term that can include characteristics such as generosity, friendliness, and selflessness (King, 2016). All of which, and several more, make up the larger factor of “agreeableness.” These five traits show that personality is dynamic, and each component has the ability to influence another.
The five factor model, also known as the big five personality traits, are five dimensions that are held to be the complete description of a personality. The Five factor model consists of Extraversion (E), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), Neuroticism (N), and Openness to Change (O). Extraversion includes characteristics like excitability, sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness and high amounts of emotional expressiveness. Agreeableness includes trust, altruism, kindness, affection, and other prosocial behaviors. Conscientiousness include high levels of
To discover the traits of the participants, the participants were given personality tests to discover their scores for the “Big Five” personality traits, otherwise known as openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability. They were then asked the
The Big 5 is composed of the following five personality traits: Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Openness to experience is characterized by creativity, curiosity, and imagination. A person high in openness is often aesthetically-minded, open to trying new things and leaning new ideas, and appreciative of art, adventure, and emotion. People high in openness tend to hold unconventional beliefs while those low in openness prefer traditional ideologies. An example of a person high in openness would be an artist, such as Picasso, or a professional actress, such as Idina Menzel. Conscientiousness is characterized by thoughtfulness, organization, and goal-directed behaviors. People high in conscientiousness tend to prefer planned behavior rather than spontaneous and are detail oriented. An
In my analysis of the “Jieliang Phone Home” case group project, I am going to focus on how personality conflicts and individual differences had affected our final delivered product. Using research and analysis of the faults in my group, I am going to show that lack of communication, dysfunctional conflicts and more, has caused our group to underperform. Research showed that traits of the “big five” has a different influence on team performance. The relationships between traits like agreeableness and conscientiousness are highly important for teamwork environment and these relationships will help to understand what actions are harmful for team performance and what team environment is desired to maximize team performance. The research helped
The Big Five or known as the five factor model is one of the most popular and broadly accepted comprehensive models of personality. The five factor model includes Neuroticism (tendency to experience negativity in emotions such as irritability, fear, anger, embarrassment, guilt, and disgust), Extraversion (tendency to like people, prefer large groups, likes excitement and stimulation, tendency to be active, assertive, and talkative), Openness (tendency to have an active imagination, sensitivity towards esthetics, intellectual curiosity, and attentive to feelings), Agreeableness (tendency to be altruistic, cooperative, and trusting.), and Conscientiousness (tendency to be purposeful, organized, reliable, determined, and ambitious). (Major, Turner & Fletcher,
The Big Five model of personality traits is a widely accepted and popular framework in personality psychometrics that is aimed at assessing personality according to traits. Traits refer to an individual’s stable characteristics that predispose them to behave in particular ways across contexts (de Bruin & Taylor, 2013). In other words, trait psychologists aim to assess the consistencies in an individual’s behaviour in order to gain insight into the individual’s general ways of interacting with people and the environment. Using factor analysis on multiple personality scales, psychologists have described and summarised personality traits in terms of five broad traits: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion,
The traits that form the Five-Factor Framework, also called the Big Five, are extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience (Wood, Wood, Boyd, Wood, Desmarais, 2011). Extraversion is concerned with a person’s social activity and their desire to be around other people. People with higher extraversion scores tend to be more friendly, assertive, and outgoing, whereas those with lower scores are more withdrawn and independent. Agreeableness is related to the desire to maintain amity and to cooperate with others. Those with higher scores in agreeableness are often
The Big 5 shows that I am relatively open to new experiences, and also that I enjoy the company of others. The Big 5 also shows that I am agreeable, and that I am a low scorer in Neuroticism, and that I am able to remain calm in tense situations (Potter, n.d.). I believe with the tendencies reflected in my personality test, the case could be made that I am willing to create social experiences that can be tense while maintaining the ability to be agreeable.
The Big five personality traits was the model to comprehend the relationship between personality and academic behaviors. The model is based on common language keys of personality. These keys are grouped together using a technique called factor analysis. This widely examined theory suggests five broad dimensions used by some psychologists to describe the human
