  • Blog Post: Most Important Thing You’ve Learned

    I think that the most important thing that I have learned from this course is the the importance of how interviewing is conducted and the most effective methods of how to complete these. For example, in Who, the author mentions the four interviews for spotting a players: The screening interview, The Who Interview, The focused…

    1. What am I good at? 2. What do I value? 3. How did I get here? 4. Where am I going?

  • Blog Post: IPIP Results & Reactions

    Extraversion 80, Agreeableness 74, Conscientiousness 39, Neuroticism 14, and Openness to Experience 45 I agree with these results. I am often considered an extrovert on personality tests so that did not surprise me. I am also not surprised by the agreeableness, growing up in a large family we didn’t have a choice but to get…

  • Blog Post: Typical vs. Maximal Performance

    If I were in the shoes of the business owner, I would want to do a little more background research. For Avery, I would want to know what motivates them to do good work. Considering that they have a high-performance ceiling, I would consider hiring this person because they are able to come through in…

  • Blog Post: Job Descriptions

    It can be difficult for me to reflect on my most recent job because it is a very niche area. To clarify, I am a health-system pharmacy administration and leadership (HSPAL) resident. As you can imagine, the job description that comes with this position is pretty specific so there were not a lot surprises when…

  • Blog Post: Experiences with Discrimination

    Looking at the discrimination from an ethnicity, culture, or belief system as the main reason, I would change my opinion on the company. Ethnicity, culture, or belief systems are systems that can be chosen by each person. In my personal opinion, I believe that every person has a right to choose and nobody has the…

Blog Post: IPIP Results & Reactions

Extraversion 80, Agreeableness 74, Conscientiousness 39, Neuroticism 14, and Openness to Experience 45

I agree with these results. I am often considered an extrovert on personality tests so that did not surprise me. I am also not surprised by the agreeableness, growing up in a large family we didn’t have a choice but to get along and come to group decisions.

The highest score in conscientiousness is dutifulness, and I feel as though this correlates with me being the oldest sibling. I feel a sense of duty in a lot of what I do, especially if there are other relying on me.

Neuroticism was decently low, but I think that I have found ways to cope that work for me. My highest score was in immoderation when I have strong craving that I have difficulty resisting and the best example that I can think of is that I will always order dessert.

Lastly, openness to experience was a 45 which I thought was a little low since I consider myself being adventurous. However, maybe this is with age and I am not as adventurous and open minded as I though I would be. My lowest scores in this area were intellect and artistic interests and truthfully, that makes sense because I have a short attention span and like to deal with people and things instead of ideas.

If a potential employer were to look at this, I think they would recognize that I am a positive and hard-working individual who likes to work within facts and operations.

A strength that an employer would find include friendliness, gregariousness, and high activity level. This would lead to the fact that I can thrive in environments that have a lot of social interaction and are fast paced. Additional strengths from the agreeableness pillar is cooperation, altruism, and modesty. I believe that this would lead to a job in leadership because I genuinely find helping others succeed to be very rewarding.

A weakness could be my liberalism, depending on the employee. Since I am ready to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values, it may not be beneficial for a company to constantly have a challenging employee.

    Great post Tiana! We scored very similarly. As I read through your post I really related to a lot of what you said. I would be lying if I did’t say that I felt a little ashamed of my low intellect score but you put into words what I could not, stating “I have a short attention span and like to deal with people and things instead of ideas”. I like that you point out how your sibling order plays a part in your conscientiousness and dutifulness. I see those same traits in many oldest siblings, including my oldest sister! I appreciate that you can acknowledge that your willingness to challenge authority could be perceived as a weakness. Do you feel that your challenging authority is correlated to you being the oldest child?
