Project 1 Instructions
This
project requires that you complete the Myers-Briggs Personality Test online,
and then complete Steps 1 and 2 (see below). Read all of the instructions for
this assignment before beginning any of your work.
Step
1
•
Open
the following website to complete the assessment:.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp”>Jung Typology Test.
•
Once
complete, click on “Score it” to retrieve your four-letter type.
•
Next,
go to.personalitypage…./”>www.personalitypage…. and investigate the various buttons
for descriptions of your Type and data on relationships, careers, and so forth
(Buttons 4–8).
•
Open
the following website:.personalitypage…./html/info.html”>Information About
Personality Types.
•
Once
there, click on links for The Four Preferences, Keirsey’s Temperaments, and
Overview of the Sixteen Personality Types to locate the description of your
type.
•
This
personality test will reveal your four-letter type
and your two-letter temperament. Discuss the validity of each letter of your
type and temperament. Please provide your statistical/percentage results for
comparison of letters within your discussion. Any adverse personal opinions on
the assessment tools must be respectful and scholarly with supportive research.
•
Include a separate section for each letter of your personality
type, as well as a section for discussing how the different aspects of your
personality (represented by the letters) work together. For example, if you
scored with the letter “I”, then that letter with your type will be a heading:
I-Introverted.
•
You must have separate sub-headings for each section.
•
Give specific examples from your life—especially your work
life—and discuss the weaknesses of your personality type as well. Refer to the
Presentation: “Lesson 1–A Worldview Perspective on Organizational Behavior”,
found in Module/Week 1’s Reading & Study folder.
Step
2
•
Read the Type Talk at Work
textbook, whichfocuses
on how various personality types relate at work. The book must be evident
within the discussion, not simply cited, with specific, applied topics.
•
Using the Type Talk at Worktextbook
as your guide, discuss the things you have learned about yourself that will
help you understand your organization and your role within it. In a new section
in your paper (labeled Step 2), answer the following questions with specific
correlation to the book:
•
In
general, what have you learned from these personality tests about
organizational behavior that will help you be a better employee, coworker,
and/or manager?
•
In
particular, what have you learned about yourself from this personality test
that will help you be a better employee, coworker, and/or manager? Provide
specific examples.
Formatting:
•
Use
current APA format for every element of the paper. Be sure to include the
APA-formatted cover page, abstract, and reference page. Refer to your APA
manual for help or this site for assistance:.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/18/”>https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/18/
•
Write
in first person—this is allowed due to the personal nature of the assignment.
•
To
facilitate the instructor’s grading of these assignments, you must have major
headings for Steps 1 and 2. Additionally, under the major heading of Step 1,
you must have subheadings for each separate letter of your Meyers-Briggs type.
There must also be a subheading describing your entire Meyers-Briggs
personality to round out the discussion with your Temperament. You will need a
total of 5 subheadings for Step 1.
•
The exact number of paragraphs that you include in each section is
your decision; your instructor will not be grading you on how many paragraphs
you used per section, but rather the extent to which you specifically addressed
each of the areas above.
•
The
minimum of 6 required pages of content does not include the title page,
abstract page, or reference page. Those must be counted as additional pages. You will likely find that it will be difficult to address
all of these things in only 6 pages, but that constraint is part of the
exercise itself. Learning to write succinctly and efficiently will improve your
communication skills, regardless of the setting. Because you only have 6 pages
to discuss all these components, be concise.
•
Be sure to double-space, using Times New Roman 12-point font only;
use 1-inch margins, and avoid bold font (except for headlines, per current APA
format), underlining, and contractions.
•
The
reference page must include a minimum of the 5 following references in current
APA format (all sources must be evident within the paper):
•
Presentation: Lesson 1 – A Worldview Perspective on Organizational
Behavior
(in Module/Week 1),
•
Type Talk at Work textbook,
•
Organizational Behaviortextbook,
•
.humanmetrics…./cgi-win/JTypes2.asp”>Jung Typology Test, and
•
.personalitypage…./”>www.personalitypage…..
