Companies large and small use personality trait assessments as tools for screening applicants and for assessing strengths (and limitations) of employees on the job. If a prospective employer asked you to take a personality trait assessment, do you think you know your personality well enough that you would recognize the traits that would emerge?

But what if the results revealed traits that you did not recognize about yourself? Would it be more likely that the test is inaccurate, or can these assessments reveal personality traits of which an individual may be unaware?

For this Discussion, you will take two personality trait assessments and, based on the results, explore some or possibly all of those questions. Keep in mind that the purpose of this Discussion is to consider the question of test accuracy and the depth of what personality trait assessments can reveal. You may keep private specific results from your assessment that you prefer not to share with colleagues.

SCRUTINIZING PERSONALITY TRAIT ASSESSMENTS

From the Truity.com home page, select the “Personality Tests” drop-down menu and complete the “16 Types Personality Test” and the “Big Five Personality Test.” Review Chapter 5 in the text to help support your thinking.

Post a response that includes the following:

Describe your results from one of the personality assessments you took. Explain to what degree you think the assessment results reflect your personality and why. Take a position on the usefulness of this assessment in terms of personal relationships and workplace relationships.

Note: Support your post(s) with evidence from at least one Learning Resource. Be sure to identify what source(s) you used, both in the body of your post(s) and with a reference at the end of your post(s).

Note: You are required to create a thread for your initial discussion post before you will be able to view other colleagues' postings in this forum.
