This paper discusses the results of the self-assessment test that I recently took. In this paper, a look is given to some of the and most significant lessons that I learned about myself, pertaining to my personality, my skills in working with others and life within an organization. Following this, I discuss some of the biggest lessons that I learned about organizational behavior and my own personality traits. Finally, time is spent reacting to the article The Gospel and Personal Reflection and some of the ways that God has helped me to turn weaknesses into strengths. Introduction During the process of analyzing the self-assessment I learned more about myself than I could possible discuss in the following paper. Because of …show more content…
The reason that I was surprised by this is that I have always considered myself to be a fairly moderate person. People at my work, or in my personal life would not generally think of me as being highly opinionated, but apparently that is not entirely the case. In regards to Motivation Insights, it was interesting to see that I scored as being moderate or medium in almost every motivation metric. On question 32, I scored as having medium intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as well as on question 30 where I scored as having “medium emotional intelligence” for self-motivation. Because motivation plays such a major role in job satisfaction, success and attitude, I feel that I need to possibly reevaluate what it is that motivates me, and how I could possibly improve my level of motivation. While the Decision Making/Problem Solving Insights generally showed me as having “moderate problem solving skills” (question 6) and “medium strategic thinking” (question 42) skills, I was interested to see on question 43 that I could potentially “do quite well at strategic planning.” Judging from the results, I can see that decision-making and problem solving is something that I definitely need to improve on. Looking back on my past work experience, one of my biggest weaknesses when it comes to decision making, is that I tend to doubt myself when making a decision. As I work to improve my problem solving abilities, I need to also be more decisive in the decisions I make. Working
Through this assignment, we will examine individual traits and how they integrate into organizational behavior. This project is conveyed from the first-person based on my personal experiences and results based on my answers from the “Project 2 Assessment” from McGraw Hill Connect. From the information gathered we discuss in three-parts, my personality triats, working with others, and my experience within an organizational setting. My paper will culminate by discussing my personal reflection of my strengths and weaknesses regarding the engagement of the Holy Spirit through them.
This is the report to the Psychology 100 class assignment. In the assignment, I handed out surveys about my personality and asked others to rate me; then I collected and analyzed the data. The results will show that how other people see me may or may not be the same as I see myself.
Self assessments have been used widely in recent decades. The usefulness and truthfulness of these assessments depend entirely upon the user. Utilizing a self assessment tool for the betterment of self is the goal of this report. In this report, I have completed 3 different self assessments to analyze myself. The first assessment that will be discussed is the Jung Personality Test. The next one will be the Team Role Preference Survey followed by the Work Locus of Control Survey. Each of these surveys focuses on various behavioural and personality traits. The Jung Personality Test focuses on four principal physiological
Everyday we ask ourselves, “Did I make the right decision?” Whether it is in regards to family, friends or co-workers we constantly do self assessments. Self-assessment is defined as a process through which individuals gain knowledge about themselves. This includes information about their likes and dislikes as well as their reactions to specific situations. By knowing more about themselves, individuals can be able to determine the work situations and occupations that are most appropriate for them. There are several lessons that can be learnt from self-assessment in relation to individual decision making. This research paper will examine reveal the lesions learned from self assessment. We will observe of the influence of the American
humans to identify how to best use our personalities for the greater good and make a difference. According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, my personality was determined to be ENFP. As an ENFP, I thrive when I am around people and making a difference in their lives. In this paper, I will discuss how my personality profile and Pearson Assessment results real to one another and how they play major roles. Specifically discussing my values and motivations it the work place, how I work with others, and life in organizations. Everything we do is for the greater food for our purpose in life. In the final section of this paper, I describe how God has helped realize and me shape my weaknesses into strengths and keep my strengths at bay in key moments.
This profile instrument was very informative and at the same time confirmed the characteristics that I thought I possessed. Each one of us has some characteristics that are assets and some that need work—strengths and weaknesses that we all possess. As employees in a company, all of our characteristics work together as part of the business. Being part of a business or the corporate world, we all have different tasks, talents, and characteristics that we bring to the organization. People work together, much like organs as they function together within a human body. “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others” Romans 12:4 (New International Version). It takes time and effort to develop as a well-rounded individual. Potentially, no one employee is better than another based on
A self-assessment through self-awareness is key for one to understand his own strengths and weaknesses. Only after conducting it, can he settle goals and objectives in order to take any corrective action. This is
The personality assessment inventory tests provide results on my individual personality, values, motivation, decision making, communication, team skills, conflict skills, organizational structure preference, and stress. These results are broken down briefly in three parts and do not include any personal speculation or analysis as to their meaning. The application of these results are further applied and explains how the results noted from the tests and in the first step will make me a better employee, co-worker, and manager within my organization. These tests mentioned above are applied in conjunction with particular examples on how I can achieve becoming a better employee, co-worker, and manager. An explanation of how my personality and experiences were affected by the Holy Spirit is also discussed. Particularly, how potential weaknesses have become strengths with the guidance of the Lord.
Organizational behavior studies human behavior in organizational settings and the influence and impact individual behavior has on the workplace. To provide a personal perspective of personality characteristics, the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) assessment was used to measure aspects of my personality and how these traits relate to working with others and life within an organization. Key observations provide specific insight into how these are applied to workplace behavior and interactions with others. Personal self-reflection related to workplace behavior is offered, including lessons learned to assist in becoming a better employee, coworker, and/or manager, and how the Holy Spirit has assisted in transforming weaknesses
The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the results of my assessments from the Prentice Hall Self-Assessment Library. Three sections of this personality test were completed: personality insights, working with others, and life in organizations. The five factor model was used to help me understand my behavior. After completing the personality assessments, it has been determined that I require improvement in areas such that include interpersonal communication, and leadership skills. I have determined how what I have learned from the personality tests about organizational behavior can be applied in the workplace to make me a better employee, co-worker, or future manager. The significant part that the Holy Spirit plays in my life that will help me develop the tools that I need to succeed was discussed. A biblical perspective from the Old Testament on how God helped Moses can also be applied in developing these skills.
Score/Interpretation: I scored an 88 on this self-assessment. This means that I have a basic set of motivational skills. The lowest scoring categories were 5, 9, and 10.
This paper explores the results of my Prentice Hall Self-Assessment Library tests and reveals which areas of the test results differ substantially from my self-perception. In addition, this paper discusses those differences and elaborates on the areas that have provided opportunity for me to further understand the elements of my personality. The research of multiple articles examines the applicability of these significant characteristics and relates them to the overall function of my workplace. This allows me to identify vulnerabilities that persist and to investigate changes in behavior that will improve my work atmosphere. Dr. Fischer (2006) in his article The Gospel and Personal Reflection discusses the reality of human sin-nature and how, because of reconciliation through Christ, that sin can be overcome through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This article fosters an understanding that God has gifted all people with specific
In self-Assessment III the first sections talks about what type of organizational system I would prefer. Organizational Structure is a system that defines the levels of hierarchy within an organization. The organizational structure classifies each job, explains its function, and who it reports to within the organization. Based on my scores they suggest I prefer to work in a mechanistic structure rather than a organic structure. In a mechanistic structure people work separately and specialize on only one task. Also within a mechanistic the hierarchy of authority is well-defined. The first section also measures my ability to delegate in the work place. According to my score I need to substantial improve on my ability to delegate. Based on the analysis delegating authority are what many managers have difficult doing. My ratio for being able to give feedback is a four out four. This means my self-perceived strength and weakness are equal, but I could work to improve ratio to be more self-perceived in strength.
This paper observes the results of personality traits. The paper is divided into three parts. The first portion of the paper identifies personality traits of the author.

Self assessment plays an important role in our life because it helps us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of our personality. Based on these identifications, not only we can try to improve on them but we can also set goals of our life according to our strengths. Once the goal is set, and we start working towards achieving it, the periodic self assessment helps us in monitoring our progress. This report describes the phases of analysing and developing me as a manager based on the results of self assessment tasks.
