Big 5 Personality Test |
Prior to beginning work on this discussion,
read Chapter 7 from the Harré (2006) e-book as well as the required Maslow
(1943), Freud (1910), Bandura (1999), and the United States Office of Personnel
Management (n.d.) articles.
One approach to understanding personality is
using trait theories. The most influential trait approach contends that five
traits, or factors called the "Big 5," lie at the core of
personality. The five factors are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion,
Agreeableness, and Neuroticism (Emotional Stability).
This
week, you will complete two different versions of the Big 5 Personality Test.
First, go through the Qualtrics
platform (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to take the complete
test online (note – you will not receive results from the online assessment as
this portion of the assignment is more about the experience of taking this type
of assessment online). After you have completed the online test, you will see a
link to download the Big Five Personality Short Form document version. Click the
link and save the Big Five Personality Short Form document to your computer.
Complete and score the short form version within the downloaded document. Once
you have completed both the online and document versions attach the completed
document short form to your initial post. In the discussion forum analyze and
briefly explain the Big 5 Personality Test as a scientific tool. Detail your
experience with both the online and document versions and give your opinion as
to which of the two provided the better experience. Be sure to cite specific
reasons for your statements.
Using the PSY600 Making Sense of the Big 5
Personality Short Form tool as a guide, analyze the results from your
document version. (Note: This is for educational purposes. There is no right or
wrong personality type.) Assess how accurate the results are based on your
understanding of yourself and the results as analyzed. Refute any areas with
which you disagree providing examples which may disprove the assessment results.
Evaluate the contemporary applications of personality tests today using the
information provided in the United States Office of Personnel Management (n.d.)
article on assessment and selection. Assess how knowing one's personality type
can benefit them personally and professionally.
Guided Response: Review several of your
classmates' posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on
Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in
the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this
discussion.
Compare and contrast
your experience completing and analyzing your results of the Big 5 Personality
Test with that of your peer. What insights did you gain from reviewing your
peer’s experience with this personality assessment? Did these insights change
your mind about your own results? Compare your assessment of the benefits of
knowing one’s personality type on personal and professional life to that of
your peer. Comment on any differences between your classmate’s statements and
your own. Provide suggestions as to how your classmate might view this type of
assessment in a different light. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until
5:00 p.m. MST on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your
initial post.
