Conscientiousness

Performance, leadership and conflict are the organizational dimensions I’m using to determine which personality types match the best with different organizational cultures. Individuals who score high on the extraversion dimension of the Big Five Model usually perform well in jobs with high interpersonal interaction and work well in groups. They tend to take charge and emerge as leaders of groups. Extraverts are good fits in a team-oriented organization with activities centered around teams…

Critically evaluate the extent to which personality and intelligence are independent individual differences constructs. Intelligence and personality have both been great reasons for research in the individual differences studies of psychology. They form a very big part of psychological and personal differences and variations between individuals, are an important part of our everyday life and are complicated issues that are hard to examine and define. Numerous theories, opinions and…

were proposed based on variables such as gender and major. To name a few, it was hypothesized that female students would score higher than male students on neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness (Vadel, Thomsen, and Larsen, 2015). It was also hypothesized that conscientiousness would be more strongly associated with psychology students and their grade point average than any other major (Vadel, Thomsen, and Larsen, 2015). The results from study one showed significant…

For the purpose of this paper, I completed the NEO-FFI personality assessment. NEO-FFI assesses personality along the following four factors: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. My scores indicated the following results: high in openness, and average in conscientiousness, low in extraversion, average in agreeableness, and average in neuroticism. Openness (to experience) is normally associated with imagination, fantasy, aesthetics, feelings, actions, ideas,…

Demographic similarity theory describes individuals who receive information and determine the similarity, either demographic attributes or personal traits, they think they are comparing to others. This theory is based on Social Identity Theory where decision makers tend to group themselves and others or, at least, creating their own social identities of themselves comparative to others and giving positive or negative evaluations to different categories (Dovido & Hebl, 2005; Tajfel, 1982; Tajfel…

Peaceful resistance to laws, or Henry David Thoreau's civil disobedience, benefits a free society and has had a meaningful impact on the lives of millions. Thoreau's idea of civil disobedience is a pillar of freedom founded upon the principles of conscientiousness, communication, publicity, and nonviolence. Collectively, they help constituents raise and maintain a…

The Five Factor Personality Test is a test composed of forty-one questions, the answers range from Very Inaccurate all the way up to Very Accurate. The Five Factors are: Extraversion (AKA Surgency), Agreeableness (AKA Friendliness), Conscientiousness (AKA Will or Dependability), Neuroticism, and Openness (AKA Culture or Intellect). The key to this test was to answer truthfully about myself in order to get a more accurate reading of where I fall in the five factors of personality. It was…

The Big five personality test evaluates five major personality traits. These traits are referred under the acronym ocean. The acronym stands for openness to experience/intellect, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The test is very short and doesn’t go into great detail on each trait. Cause of the shorten length, the test validity is questionable. However, since the test is short it is fun to compare your scores to how you see yourself or how others view yourself.…

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate if success in academics or life can be predicted by a person’s degree of grit. The authors of this paper define grit as perseverance and passion for long-term goals as defined by Duckworth of University of Pennsylvania. At the time of this research there seems to be a lot of hype around grit since the department of education in the US and UK have been focusing on increasing student’s grit. Somewhere in the articles it states that previous research has…

The test displays my conscientiousness scores as high demonstrating an individual who is goal oriented and determined, dependable, and a hard worker. With this assessment I cannot agree with more, yes there are times when I seem unreliable or can seem to be off track and away from…
