For second profile analysis assignment for mgmt. 340, I was given a set of questions which are designed to identify person who is more competitive, outgoing, ambitious, impatient, or aggressive. Questions are categorized into four sections: competitive, work involvement, hostility/anger, and impatience/urgency. Overall, I felt that test was on the point, and my paper explains why.
First section was about competitiveness and I received score of 8. According to the test, I have almost no desire to do better than others which is mostly true. I grew up in somewhat wealthy family, and I don’t know what it’s like to be poor. I don’t know what it’s like to go hungry for weeks.

According to the test, time does not exist for me and nothing is urgent. I usually end up doing projects and home works on the last minute. I’m never late on my appointments, but I’m never early. My mother is complete opposite of me and she looks like always on a rush, stressed out, and pressured. My personality used to drive her insane back in high school, because I was never in rush when I was getting ready for school in the morning. I don’t know how she ever survived all those years with me.
I think I would do perfectly fine as an employee. I don’t ask questions or get emotional, but this could lead to misunderstandings. I’m certainly not motivated to do more, but I would fill up my cup. As a manager, I wouldn’t do so well. I do not express emotions often, and people would feel distant. And my sense of time is not ideal for management as I believe that you need to lead people by example.
Do I think this test was the point? Yes, I believe so. The test clearly identified my personality and my behaviors. It was interesting to see this in numbers and it also reaffirmed my identity. I’m planning to have my friends and family take this test and hopefully it will smooth out some of relationship issues I have with
