                         Personality test 

    The personality I was given by the 16 personalities assessment was an assertive commander. In the findings of my research an assertive commander is one who is quick-witted , a strategic leader who is conclusively in planning visions and does not wait to act upon their plan. After taking the assessment, I took time upon myself to look up terms and definitions of the given key words of an assertive commander. Words like determined ,sharp minded, confident, ruthless, and decisive would be used to describe someone with the personality of an assertive commander. I do agree with the results from the assessment. 

     The assigned strengths of the personality type – assertive commander are efficient, tactical planners, & quick  witted . I do see these traits play out in my personal/work life . In regards to being efficient, within the domain of this personality an individual would prefer to sway  on the side of efficiency as they perceive inefficiency to be extremely unsuitable. This could possibly be a challenge in the work field because in some situations if I am too efficient it might lead others colleagues to be unprepared or incapable when in reality I may have just over planned. In my opinion, the trait of being a tactical planner is the most very crucial characteristic by far . Commanders are able to create plans and navigate through the necessary steps that complete the entire project . Needless to say,  this can be a challenge in my personal life and work life because not everyone has the same perception on how they believe things should be developed. Everyone is different and every angle of observation will never be the same . The notion of being considered to be quick witted is a vital role in how assertive commanders are perceived by their subordinates. Often than not , commanders are expected to know the jurisdictions surrounding their organization and must be educated enough to be able to consistently dissect what the steps that the objective has laid out . This can be a challenge because by the standard of what being strong willed is ; expectations can be set really high. 

    Evidently, I do agree with the notion that personality tests can be accurate in determining whether a candidate is right for a specific role . I say this because the assessment would allow HR departments to “get a feel” of who the interviewee is beforehand. This way, the company can initially decide whether or not to process with the necessary steps of hiring the candidate .
