The Big Five Project: Personality Analysis

After taking the Big Five Personality Assessment, I was able to decode certain aspects of my personality and analyze whether different strengths and weaknesses. One strength I found was me openness to experience. Being open to others and their ideas has broadened my horizons. I have found that I have so much to learn from others.

Nothing feels better than giving back to a place that has given so much to people. A majority of the little things that we do day by day are taken for granted or they are just seen as nothing major. In reality there are so many things that are given to us and we do not always see the little things in life as anything of mass importance. For our kindness project we decided that it was time for us to give a little to ensure someone had a smile at the end of the day. We partnered up with the Rho Nu club here on campus and together we made tie blankets. These blankets that we made will be donated to the Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane later this month. We decided to do this project in the hopes of giving a little, but making it count for a lot more. We hoped that the children receiving these blankets always get a smile on their face or simply that they just find comfort in these blankets. In this project I was the leader of the group and I did most of the organization of

During our class this week, one of our homework assignments was to complete the “Identifying Your Social Style” assessment. This was a very thought-provoking assessment to take and my results were interesting to say the least. My results were as follows, I received a 26 in assertiveness and a 37 in responsiveness which placed me in the amiable quadrant. According to the information learned, several words used to describe me are conforming, pliable, supportive, dependable, and willing.

The Big Five is a personality test asks questions about how you see yourself. Some questions were “I see myself as someone who tends to find fault with others” and “I see myself as someone who does things efficiently”. Each question is answered on a scale 1 (strongly disagreeing) to 5 (strongly agreeing). The test is around 45 questions long. Scores were represented in percentiles so that comparison could be made between people. The percentiles were based on groups determined by location and age. My scores were for someone around the age of 18 in North Carolina. My book character’s scores were from people around the age of 17 in the UK.
