Describe your personality type, as determined by the assessment. Do you agree with the results? Why or why not?
According to the personality test when it comes to the “Mind” it states that I am introverted and I agree with this because I like to keep to myself a lot. When it comes to Energy it says that I am an intuitive which I disagree with because I feel like I am more of an observant because I like to understand my surrounding and I don’t react a lot based on feelings only. When came to how I make decisions and cope with feeling it 64 percent thinking and this is one I strongly agree with because I consider myself a thinker and most of the time, I’m thinking about something and how to make that something a reality so when it comes to coping and making decisions it’s the same. And the last two are Tactics and Identity, for Tactics I got judging therefore I agree with this the test when it comes to tactics because judging it’s about planning ahead and I believe that is one of my character traits, for Identity I got 58 percent for assertive which is being confident on your work and personality, I relate to being assertive because I notice it myself and get told by others that know me. So overall I think I agree with the result of the test because even for the one that I felt like I was the opposite of it was nearly at 50 percent.
What are the assigned strengths of this personality type? What are some challenges? Do you see these playing out in your work or personal life?
For Introverted a strength would be that people only know what they need to know and you have more time to think. A weakness would be expanding because I feel like to expand you have to be more of a people’s person. A challenge an introverted person would mostly face is being misunderstood because they keep to themselves and don’t share much
For Intuitive a strength would be being able to understand people better when it comes to certain situations where being an observant would make you look like a bad person. As an intuitive a challenge may be when to decide if you should be an intuitive or push it aside for that situation . A weakness you may face is people trying to take advantage of intuitive being one of your traits.
For the Thinking trait a strength would be being able to see all possibilities when it comes to making a choice or decision. A challenge would not overthinking wasting too much time when it comes to making a decision and a weakness would not taking feelings into consideration when it come to Nature.
Are personality tests effective ways to determine whether a candidate is right for a role? Why or why not?
I would agree that using a personality test would be a effective way to determine weather a candidate is right for a certain role in a job because if a person reacts of emotions a lot and want a manager role, that role would not be a good role for that person because if there’s a problem reacting out o emotions might make thing worse and make the problem even bigger.
Hi Justin, I see why you agree about the personality test. A growing number of organizations use personality testing as part of their recruitment and promotion processes. According to my point of view this kind of tests should not be used in promotion decisions, because promotion is given on the basis of performance of an employee.
Thank for Sharing.
Hello Justin, I agree with your example explaining how using a personality would be a effective way to determine weather a candidate is right for a certain role in a job . We share the same viewpoint of how a personality test mirrors tendencies which will allow companies/corporations to have a better observation on whether the interviewee is appropriate or the designated position.
