Organizational Behavior Assessment

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the results of my Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test. With knowledge of my personality type I explain what I learned from these tests with examples from the book Type Talk at Work. The first part of the discussion explains each letter in the INTJ personality and an overall description of how the different parts of the personality work together. The second part of the discussion talks about lessons learned from using the personality tests. This part discusses what I learned about myself that could make me a better employee and what I learned about these personality tests that could make me a better employee. What is learned is supported with the material from the book Type Talk at Work. Throughout the paper there are examples on how this information can lead to improvements in relationships, improvements to yourself, and improvements to those

I will be talking about my current job as a Child Protective Investigator (CPI) also known as Child Protective Services (or CPS). This is the governmental agency that is tasked with investigating child abuse or neglect. The primary concern of a CPI is the safety of the child; they do this by assessing the risk involved. By weighing that risk the CPI has to make the decision rather to remove the children or child from the home or place services within the home that will allow

The online Jung Typology Test was a very interesting exercise. The test pointed out certain things about my personality type that I will be examining in the course of this class. It may give me some important insights into my personal and professional decisions about family, career and life. I have worked in municipal government for over 38 years. I have done budgets, human resources, and day to day supervision of several city departments. The majority of that time has been within management of two major international airports. In that time I managed employees, and I was managed by executive level leadership. Employee supervision was a great learning experience. I supervised employees who came to work to do their jobs, and other subordinates

Self-awareness is one of the first things we should strive for when becoming an effective leader. If we do not know how to get the most out of ourselves, how could we possibly hope to lead others? Taking personal assessments is one way to become more aware of your behavior and personality. By taking the Jung Typology and DISC Assessments, I was able to better understand how my personality and behavior impact my leadership style.

I was very happy to have been given the opportunity to take these self-assessment tests. I always had an idea as far as what my personality is defined as, but it’s interesting to see where my strengths and weaknesses are. With the Jungian Typology test I scored 59% Introvert, 34% Sensing, 19% Thinking, and 31% Judging. After receiving this score and reading how each is defined, none of this surprised me. Sharing the results with my mother, her response was, “No surprise there!” I have always tried having some understanding of my personality in hopes of finding the right career path for me. I must admit that this has opened my eyes to how detail oriented and focused I can be, especially if it’s something I care about. This can be both good

It is reasonable to suggest that the overwhelming majority of humankind has either been part of or required the services of organizations at some point in time during their lives, and many of these consumers will likely testify that although every organization is different in some ways, they all share some common characteristics. Furthermore, because all organizations are comprised of mere humans, they are subject to the same behavioral whims, weaknesses and vagaries that also characterize the human condition from day to day and over time. To gain further insights into these concepts, this paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature to develop a comprehensive and robust definition of organizational behavior. This review is followed by a summary of the research and salient findings in the conclusion.

The Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test conformed profile is ENFJ in the following order Extravert (25%) intuitive (22%) Feeling (3%) Judging (22%); this interprets to mean that in both business and school, I can be described as a transformational leader. This is so because I am quite passionate about what I do and also I have been told by my colleagues severally that I have a unique charisma that is infectious and gets people to do what they should do. I agree with these results and as of today, I am yet to see any differences compared to who I was 3 weeks ago. For example, I use motivation to provide leadership for my team. What’s more; I take pride in the provision of leadership for others – something that I have experienced since my elementary years, I have always been elected the head/leader at school and at work.

The Behavior Assessment System for children, Third Edition (BASC-3) includes a self-report, parent and teacher rating scale. The Self-Report (BASC-3-SRP), Parent Rating Scale (BASC-3-PRS) and the Teacher Rating Scale (BASC-3-TRS) measure a variety of emotional and behavioral problems and adaptive skills. The clinical scales measure maladaptive behavior while the adaptive scales measure prosocial skills. This measure is designed to give us a broad view of the child’s overall functioning across the home and school settings.

The Jung Typology Test provided information that was, for the most part, expected.These results do seem to be an accurate depiction of my personality. This said, my belief is that the results could change depending on who I associate with at the time. This is perhaps the reason why the percentages are fairly low on the final report.

The StrengthsFinder 2.0, DISC, and Jung Typology personality assessments almost described me with the same leadership style. The StrengthsFinder 2.0 found me; Strategic, Learner, Achiever, Communication, and Maximizer. Jung Typology personality gave me ESTJ; extraverted, sensing, thinking, and judging. These three tests led me to discover myself in the area of leadership. I found myself Strategic, logical, and responsible. I am extraverted thinking working, which means my major instruction is in discovering which is logical in the actions.

I believe that Jung’s Typology Test gives an accurate description of my personality. According to the test my personality is, “ESFJ,” or extravert, sensing, feeling and judging. The test describes people with the personality, “ESFJ,” to be entertainers, leaders, and excellent protectors. These people are most likely to be involved in jobs concerning management, social work, nursing, and elementary education.

The purpose of this reflection is to discuss how the use of the ANOVA function can be incorporated into the Organizational Effectiveness Assessment completed at Como Elementary. During the observation period, I collected information on time on task for two teachers and the building principal. I also collected data on classroom interruptions reported by teachers and in my classroom. An ANOVA function can be used to evaluate and improve on teacher effectiveness, principal effectiveness, and to decrease classroom interruptions.

The first weeks into the class have given me a chance to view myself in a different light to view my strengths and weaknesses, in and out of any potential leadership opportunities. A few of the self-assessments really hit home for me, and those were the Jungian typology, my Locus of Control, and learning what my acquired needs were. Starting off, my Jungian typology is ESFJ: Extravert 16, Sensing 25, Feeling 44, Judging 28. Carl Jung has identified differentials on personality types based on attitude preferences in Extraverted vs. Introverted, Sensing vs. Intuition, Thinking vs. Feeling, and Judging vs. Perceiving. When it came to my locus of control, I have a moderate internal locus of control, which means that I tend to feel like I have control over my future. Lastly, I learned that I had a high need for affiliation, even though this was not necessarily a self-assessment, just a self-reflection.

I want to begin this paper by stating what my initial thought was once I reviewed and analyzed all of the results, I can sum it up into one word – WOW! These results couldn’t be more dead-on than they are; about ninety-five percent of the results hit the nail on the proverbial head. Yes, I disagree with about five percent of the analysis, but overall, it’s amazing how accurate these scores reflect individuals various behaviors and management types and as I took these assessments, I kept thinking, “quite a few of these questions are somewhat ambiguous.”

Organizational behavior is not a single aspect of an organization but a major feature or approach, which plays a vital role in all the aspects of the organization. Comprehending organizational behavior is the most important tool for a successful company. The analysis and study of the various concepts and models of organizational behavior helps in effective understanding of many things. An organizations' strength comes from its values, cultures, and people. It offers understanding of what all happen in an organization, the way in which the organizational workforce is acting, and the way satisfaction of the workforce can help in developing the bottom line of the business. Organizational behavior also supports in analysing the way the employees, and the organization can have a more efficient association (McShane and Von Glinow, 2015). The study of organizational behavior has developed sense of understanding in me in respect with the individual behaviours, and their value in personal as well as professional lives. Through the process of learning this course I could visualize so many real-life scenarios of the chapters within my various jobs settings in the last 14 years. Weather it was emotions at work setting, decision making abilities, company values, conflict resolution I could look up to each chapter for various ways the issues could be addressed better. Organizational behavior has not only taught the importance of interconnection but also the various aspects of behavior which can impact the working of the individuals. Over the next few pages I would like to discuss my workplace organizational behavior, as well as the situations the wisdom learnt from these chapters could make me a better decision maker. The first experience or learning was, a few years back, there was a sudden change in the management of the Hospital where I used to work in India which not only resulted in workplace issues but also many challenges which made the working tough as the Hospital was trying to get Joint Commission International certification, which enables them to be strategically placed at an advantage for Medical tourism as various hospitals in India were trying to achieve this certification as a status symbol at that time, not
