Pros And Cons Of Amtrak And Metrolink

Out of the four personality assessments, I would recommend the MBTI. I would recommend the MBTI because according to Amtrak statements, they want to search for “focused introverts” and the MBTI tells you how much of an introvert you are. Although, the MMPI is used by employers it isn’t what Amtrak said they were looking for. In this case, the MBTI is a better fit than the other three because it measures preferences rather than traits.

Since 2014 the IDOT and Illinois government have been arguing against the Canadian National Railway to put a AA Amtrak (superliner) on the Lena, Freeport line from Dubuque IA to Chicago IL, but has failed to for two years now. Now the Canadian National Railway is listening to what the Illinois government and the public have to say.

The MMPI-2 is one of the best psychological tests to use because the validity scales are effective in identifying test-takers who may be faking

Other challenges include determining best predictor and criterion variables like criterion for assessing job performance and what to include when providing an operational definition. Finding and opting for the right instruments is another dilemma as sometimes instruments selected were not developed for the purpose for which they are applied e.g: MMPI used as a personality test in IO settings is questioned as it was primarily developed to assess psychopathology. Even computerized tests currently in use also have their possible sets of pros and cons leading to unique demands that need to be

Northern United States Railroad System The northern railroad system has help the north so much during the war. Without the railroads the North would have had a major disadvantage. The north relied on the railroads for so many different things. The north used them for moving troops very far and very effectively as well.

The client was administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2nd Edition-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) as an objective measure of their social-emotional and personality functioning. The scores are based on answers to a large number of true/false questions. Based on Mr. Cintron’s responses, this protocol was invalid and uninterpretable due to inconsistent responding. There was evidence of excessive inconsistency because of fixed true responding to the test item.

On February 3, 2015, seven people were killed in Valhalla, New York. Just after 6:30 p:m a metro north train struck a vehicle that was on track Valhalla near the Harlem train line. Up to 400 people boarded the train, seven dead. The train left from Grand Central Station at 5:45 p:m. The train crew was the first to respond to the incident. Many people were taken the Westchester County hospital. U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal has a big critic of Metro-North. It came to the extent that he demanded an investigation after two derailments previously.

The MBTI questionnaire was created by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. Their collaborative work to develop this measurement of personality was inspired by to the writings/work of Carl Jung (more specifically his book entitled Psychological Type). This mother and daughter’s shared fascination and interest in type theory led them “to create the MBTI in the early 1940s as a test to be used for personnel selection. Myers believed that different occupations favored different personality orientations, and that Jung’s theory provided a theoretical link between personality and job performance” (Pittenger, 1993). It is important to note that it was Myers “belief” that

“A clinical mental health counselor administers a personality inventory to narrow down a varied set of symptoms and determine the diagnosis of a particular psychological disorder” (Drummond et al., 2016-pg. 274). The Minnesota Multiphase Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is a popular personality inventory. The MMPI-2 can be finished in 60-90 minutes and may offer an explanation to Jessica as too how her personality may affect her mental health.

There are two types of personality tests: objective and projective tests. Both types of tests help clinical psychologists to determine different factors of an individual's personality. Two of the most common objective assessments are the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) and the 16PF. The MMPI-2 is a “567 true/false test that is a good measure of dysfunction within personality” (Framingham, 2016). Of all of the objective assessments the MMPI-2 is the most commonly used. It measures traits such as paranoia, hypomania, social introversion, and psychopathy as well as others by connecting various responses throughout the test. The MMPI-2 is not ideal for those individuals with healthy personalities so that is where the 16PF comes in. The 16PF measures 16 basic personality traits including: warmth, reasoning, emotional stability, dominance, liveliness, rule-consciousness, social boldness, sensitivity, vigilance, abstractness, privateness, apprehension, openness to change, self-reliance, and perfectionism. Because this assessment is done on healthier individuals, it simply allows them to understand themself, and helps their clinical psychologist to determine the best approach in treatment (Framingham,

The MBTI results have brought forth many questions that for many people. However, the results are not definite, but alines a person with certain expectation of the the results. In order to get a precise idea about anyone, you will have to get to know them personally. Conflicts arise when generalization concludes everyone in the same category, reason being that humans changes depended upon their environment and situation. These tests may be great for determining success, however they lack the candidate’s values, motives, and work styles and will not give the final verdict for which is right for the job. The assessment of personality should not be

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 or MMPI-2 is a widely used, 567-item, standardized personality inventory, which measures personality characteristics. The test includes several validity scales, which assist the assessor to analyze the validity of the overall test results (Groth-Marnat, 2009) and the test-taking attitude (Friedman, Bolinsky, Levak, & Nichols, 2014). The scales allow detecting the client’s intention to fake the result.

The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) is a sophisticated assessment developed to not only measure personality but also to predict how people will react in different situation. It is a more indepth version of MBTI. The purpose of this test is to provide a portrait of both personal and work related characteristics. It is a self-report inventory, and a personality assessment. It is empirically derived by test taker’s drives, motivations, interpersonal style, and ways of leading. CPI used common factors that are easier to be understood by test takers to measure their interpersonal skills, self-management skills, motivation and thinking styles, and personal characteristics. Your CPI report is divided into four parts, however, we will only discuss the first, second and the last part of the result in the report.

Companies have started to use personality tests in the past five years so that they can find a potential employee’s strengths and weaknesses. If questions and answers are quite accurate and test is done properly it can help an employer to find more about person’s advantages and disadvantages. It is very important to know because one of the most important points is that most of personality tests help to recognize unqualified candidates. “Although experts warn that many personality assessments don't deliver what they promise, legitimate scientifically validated tests are helping employers evaluate job candidates to select those best suited for particular positions. Other tests are designed to measure intelligence, honesty, management aptitude and other qualities.”

Some managers may argue that there is more to personality assessment than the nomothetic approach, not everything is as straight forward as it seems. This is because theorists/scientists
