I took the short version of the IPIP test. After taking the test, I found out that on the personality dimension of extraversion, I scored low, indicating that I am introverted. I also found that on the personality dimension of agreeableness, I have an average score, indicating that I have some concearn for others’ needs, but don’t like to sacrifice myself for others. For conscientiousness, I had a high score meaning that I have clear goals and determination to complete the goals I set for myself. Under neuroticism, I have a high score, meaning that I get upset easily (which is very true) and tend to be sensitive and emotional. On openness to experience, I scored low, meaning that I like to plan and be practical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a potential employer were to look at my results, they may see some of my strengths as being hard working and having the ability to set and stick to my goals. I have strong determination that is very important to have in the workforce in my opinion. I also think that my average agreeableness score could be a strength as it shows I have concearn for others’ needs, but also can hold my own opinions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, if an employer were to look at my results, I may show weaknesses in extraverson, neuoticism, and openness to experience. My low score in extraversion may be a weakness, because in a lot of industries it is important to work in groups, and these types of settings give me anxiety. Furthermore, they may see my high score in neuoticism to be a weakness because I hold strong emotions and they may feel that I will not be able to seperate my personal life and emotions from my work place. Lastly, they may see my low score in openness to experience as a weakness because a big part of working and adapting is flexability and this score may show that I do not have much flexability. With this being said, my ability to plan and be practical could also be seen as a strength in terms of time management and my ability to complete tasks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
