Week 5 - Discussion 1
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 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.
