Assessment – The Big Five
Organizational Behavior-MAN 3240-7035D
Some people are calm and relaxed, and others are regularly nervous and anxious;
some are warm and friendly, while others are hostile and aggressive; some people are
organized, neat, and fastidious, while others are disorganized, sloppy, and scattered. So
that said I have discovered my big five as above the norm in conscientiousness and
extraversion. I am equal to the norm in agreeableness and openness to experience. And
finally, I am under the norm in neuroticism.
For conscientiousness I am above the norm as stated above. This is more
efficient/organized vs. easy going/careless. Meaning I have more of a tendency to show
self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; planned rather than spontaneous
behavior.
For agreeableness I am equal to the norm as stated above. This is
friendly/compassionate vs. cold/unkind. I have equal tendency to be compassionate and
cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others.
For neuroticism I am under the norm as stated above. This is sensitive/nervous
vs. secure/confident. I am below the tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily,
such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability.
For openness to experience I am equal to the norm as stated above. This is
inventive/curious vs. consistent/cautious. I am equal for appreciation for art, emotion,
adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience.
For extraversion I am above the norm as stated above. This is outgoing/energetic
vs. solitary/reserved. I am above this category for energy, positive emotions, surgency,
and the tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others.
