Week 3&4 - Assignment 1&2

Week 3 - Discussion 1

Prior to beginning work on this discussion,

· Read Chapter 9 in Applied Psychology in Talent Management.

· Read the  Strategic Workforce Planning—A Vital Business Activity  article.

· Complete the  Big 5 Test (Links to an external site.). Note: The Big 5 personality traits are the most thoroughly researched personality taxonomy (Cascio & Aguinis, 2019). Take a screenshot or print the results for reflection on this discussion and your personal use. You will not submit these results.

After you have completed the Big 5 personality traits test, compare your results with the  Big Five Inventory (BFI) (Links to an external site.) resource. Then use the O*NET website to search for possible careers that compliment your personality dimensions and facets. The  O*NET Work Styles (Links to an external site.) search or  O*NET Work Values (Links to an external site.) search can assist with this.

Finally, for your initial post address the following:

· Discuss each of your personality dimensions. In your judgement, was the survey accurate and why?

· What careers did you find based on the Big Five personality dimensions?

· Were the suggested careers an accurate reflection of your personality? Why or why not?

· How might an employer use the questionnaire to hire the right people?

Your initial response should be a minimum of 200 words. Graduate school students learn to assess the perspectives of several scholars. Support your response with at least one scholarly resource in addition to the text.
