This paper will disclose my personality assessment scores define by Pearson Education, as well as insights gained from our textbook, Type Talk at Work and The Gospel and Personal Reflections. With the results from the assessment test I will relate the different personality categories to how I operate in the organization, how I relate to others in the organization and life in the organization.

My combined score in these areas was 48 indicating normal ability to effectively process stress. Other stressors that can add to a manager’s job is the ability of being comfortable with change. The assessment test that measures comfort with change reveals a score of 40 indicating that I have a high level of openness to change (Pearson
