The results of my test were not particularly surprising to me in all honesty. My extraversion score is average meaning that I enjoy spending time with others and in group settings but there becomes a point when I need some alone time again (the introversion side). My agreeableness score is low meaning that I struggle to show concern for others and can be seen as tough, critical and uncompromising. I scored high in conscientiousness meaning that I have high expectations of myself with clear direction and goals. People see me as reliable and hardworking. My score on neuroticism is average meaning that my level of emotional reactivity is typical of the general population. While I do react to stressful and frustrating situations, I am able to get over the feelings and cope with the situation. I scored low on openness to experience meaning that I like things broken down for me in simple terms. I can be described as down to earth, practical and conservative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking the results from the IPIP Test employers would describe my biggest strengths as being reliable and hard working. Employers would seek this sort of personality out because it is the biggest predictor of performance on a job. Another strength that I believe employers would seek is my average level of emotional reactivity because it means that they are less variables and emotional reactivity when I would be working on a job. Another strength could be the fact that I can be described as down to earth and practical, especially in a job that does not require imagination but instead hard facts and knowledge to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A strength but also a weakness I see in myself is my lack of compromise and critical eye. This could be considered a strength in a leadership role that requires the hard and unfavourable decisions to be made. However, It could also be considered a weakness in that people struggle to meet and live up to the expectation I put on them and myself. I can easily look for areas of improvement and sometimes will look for improvement before commending and acknowledging the good work that has already been done. This is an area that I need to work on balancing better which I think will help be considered a strength in both roles (leadership and all).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
