Self-assessment
Introduction
To get the appropriate job, it is necessary for any person to know his strengths and the weaknesses. Organization which hire personals as an employee, are also very much concerned with the type of the person, which should necessarily have match with the type of the job that is being offered. To know about the personality type, I have performed seven different tests which are personal preferences, collaboration, emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, personality traits, personal values, and career orientation. These test will describe a complete image of my personality, which will be helpful in the selection of the job, which matches with my personality.

Cooperation/collaboration |
OSPP DISC Assessment Test. |
As my personality has been declared as “D” personality by the test, which shows my leadership kind of personality (openpsychometrics.org, 2017). As of which I am more oriented to lead people rather than to follow. This classification of mine regarding my attitude towards daily life affairs, will help me improve further my leadership skills, so, that I will have full command over my specialty skills. As it is the part of leader’s personality to more focus on their own point of view, I need to work on to have tolerance to listen to others regarding the views of theirs. It states that I am a kind of person, which has more command on doing collaborative working. |
|
Emotional intelligence |
Ei.quiz |
According to the results of this test, my emotional intelligence is OK. Which describes that I am good in making work relationship with my colleagues. Some might be not of my temper to become friend, but I do have the ability to make myself flexible to even work with those persons who do have totally different point of view, as of mine. These skills of mine allow me to work with different kind of personalities, and it also specifies the skill which describes that I can manage people on the work place more strategically. The level of personality which has been showed, depicts that I can make improvements in my personality. |

Cultural intelligence |
Diagnosing cultural intelligence |
My personality in the perspective of cultural intelligence in the test has been declared as “ambassador” (Mosakowski, 2004). The test results describes low on physical CQ, as compare to other parameters, like, cognitive and emotional CQ, that has shown relatively better results with 5 and 6 respectively. Ambassador nature will help me to reduce the cultural barriers by myself without having great preparations about the tricks to treat other cultures. It is a political type of personality, which molds himself according to the condition, in the same way goes for the cultures. When I would be interacting with the foreigners, I will try to become abruptly familiar with their styles of communicating to reduce the communication barriers, so, that the message will be delivered in efficient way. |

Personality traits |
Big five personality test |
In this test, I am declared as the person who is open to new experience, who is conscious, who is extraverted, who has agreeable attitude, and one who use to be bit nervous. The scores in the ocean is 72 percentile, in conscientiousness the score is 61 percentile, in extraversion 72 percentile, in agreeableness 56 percentile, and negative emotionality my score was 71 percentile. The positive side of this results shows that, I am open to new experience, which is very important for any executive to have in his personality (outofservice.com, 2018). And my extraverted nature will lead me to learn from the others irrespective to their position, status, or work type. I need to work on the nervous side of my personality, which can be problematic if not addressed properly. |
|
Personal preferences |
Jungian/Myers-Briggs Personality Type |
This test have shown me high towards extrovertist, and then bit lower in intuition, which is being followed by perceiving power a person, and last thinking as the lowest occurring characteristic. Again in the personality preferences, I am considered to be more extrovert which shows my ability to dissolve with other people specially, strangers. I am more inclined to taking decisions through intuition, rather than being dependent upon the sensing process. The advantage of this is speed and swiftness, which can enjoy during decision making process. |
|
Personal values |
Rokeach Value Survey
|
In the RVS, the results shows my more inclination towards instrumental values rather than terminal values. This shows my type of personality and my behavior, which is more towards behavior. |
|
Career orientation |
Holland Code (RIASEC) Test |
Holland code test has tested me on six different parameters, realistic, investigative, artistic, social, entrepreneurial, and conventional. I got maximum points on the entrepreneurial category, I will enjoy great leverage in the job because the business always need new ideas which can be more beneficial to the firm, and which can deliver them competitive advantage over others. Second most scored category in this test is, social. This will benefit me in the job where I may have to create interactive relationships with the clients and the other stakeholders of the business. The least scored category in this test was investigative, in which I need to work for the development of investigative skills, which is to find the reasons in the events occurring. After conducting the test, the Holland Code Test have termed me ESC which is acronym of entrepreneurial, social, and conventional. Comment by Dr. Jacqueline Gilliard: Per the instructions…, in a 2-3-page summary explain your results and select the position or positions for which you will be the best fit. Explain why.

Discussion on the results:
The test which I attempted to test my personality have given me concise picture of my personality. The results of the test have integrating facts about my personality. Like I have good leadership skills which can never be possible without the spirit of collaborative working, which has been declared by the EI test. My socialist characteristics make me ambassador in CQ. In personality type, I am extrovert while personal preferences I am intuitively based person. And I am being described as entrepreneurial person after attempting career orientation test. Comment by Dr. Jacqueline Gilliard: Needed to see a more robust, expanded discussion
Position placement with rainbow paints:
After attempting the test regarding my personality to determine that what job offer would be best for me. I would chose “Sales Director Middle East.” because it is a sales job, and they are requiring that person who can operate in market, which could be a cultural challenge. As I am declared as ambassador and extrovert in nature, it will be easy for me to be a sales director of new territory. My entrepreneurial skills will help to make new strategies. I am fit for this job based on my tests.
Conclusion:
I will be very useful for the company who is going to lose five senior executive and have to start business in Asia. My judgment on the appointment as the sales director of the Middle East, is based on the facts provided by the tests, which are being made by the researches.
