Personality Types

Great Essays
My score from the O*NET Interest Profiler were social (33), enterprising (22), artistic (19), investigative (18), conventional (18), and lastly realistic (10). My top three top ranked personality types were: social, enterprising, and artistic. These three personality types are thought to go very well together because they are adjacent on the hexagonal model. Artistic and enterprising are on either side of the social which means that they are the most compatible and easiest to find occupations that reflect the three codes (Niles, & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2017). The social personality type focuses influencing the lives of others for their own growth. Their strengths are in interpersonal relationships and education (Niles, & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2017). …show more content…
Was especially surprised by some of the values that did not originally make my top ten list such as, achievement, competition, competence, economic security, or independence. It is very easy for me to understand and explain why these values did not make the top ten list since they are things that are not uplifting or eternal in value.What surprises me is that these values are the ones that tend to cause me to loose sight of the values. If I cannot make sure to prioritize the top five values over achievement, competition, competence, economic security, or independence then my wellbeing is quickly compromised. For example, if I value achievement over wisdom and human dignity I can soon get wrapped up in getting ahead and if I fail my identity and self-wroth take a hit. It is easy for this to happen in my life, so sometimes it seems in reality I may put these values before the ones I choose. So this value sort may not be an accurate representation, but rather an idealized representation. This is not a bad things, because it is my ideal self that I would want to use to make major life decisions. Overall both of these assessment fit into my self-perception well. As I mentioned there is a contradiction between the things I truly value, and the things that sometimes take over based on my need to gain control or to feel worthy. I have been naturally empathetic as ling as I can remember, and always wanting to befriend …show more content…
The results were not surprising, and they matched what I am pursuing at this stage in my life. I feel like the intrinsic factor that may have influenced my values the most is gender. It is possible that I would not value having a family as highly if I was not a young female. Although, I am not saying that all young women highly value having a family. Even so, women tend to value relational values higher. Some may argue that this is because God created us to be nurturers, and others may argue that this is true because society trains us to be more relational through gender roles. Regardless, I do feel like I am more relational, which could partiality be influenced by more

    Individuals and their personalities play a very key role in organizational behavior. In order for an organization to function at the highest level of productivity, managers must focus on empowering individuals in order to strengthen the group rather than enforcing autocratic leadership to force the individuals to serve the needs of the group.

    An individual’s values are the make-up of who they are as a human. Values are what you believe in either through your upbringing, cultural preferences or social environments. Items as simple as deciding to snooze the alarm, who to work for or what restaurants to eat at are all influenced by an individual’s values, even down to how we make the choices we do. Our values are what defines and drives our actions and behaviors. For example, if I don’t value the importance of timeliness, it would be common for me to be late or choose to sleep in or take the streets compared to the…
