Personality tests are important in the workplace, because it helps managers understand people better and it helps them connect to their employees. There are several different managing styles that managers can use and each individual responds differently to different styles, and personality tests can help managers know which style works best for which individual. Personality tests are also important to help a person understand more about themselves. These tests are supposed to make a person aware of the different characteristics that they possess. The person can then continue to strengthen the traits they have and also improve on negative traits that they think they might have.

I don’t consider myself the best public speaker, I have worked on it and improved tremendously, but I still think it is one of my weaknesses. I know that situations will call for me to get up and talk in front of a group of people, and I have been able to work on this in different class presentations. The second letter S stands for Sensor. The assessment says that a Sensor looks for specific answers to specific questions. They are said to be more realistic than idealistic. Some of the characteristics of a sensor include patient, realistic, and diligent. I do consider myself to be a patient person and I think it is one of my strengths.

The two career fields that I can see myself getting into are Business & Finance Operations and Management which I ranked 5th and 6th. I was fairly pleased with these results since the two careers I am going to school for were on top of my list. Some of my strengths that I considered myself having on my SWOT analysis included ability to quickly solve problems and my ability to follow directions and learn quickly. I found these to hold up on the skills test, scoring highly in reading comprehension, active listening, critical thinking, and judgement and decision making. I think these traits are the reason why I matched highly with the two careers I want to go into especially with Management. The two things that stuck out to me were my low scores in both persuasion and negotiation. I find these two things to be fairly important especially in the business world and when it comes to overcoming some of my threats. I wasn’t surprised that I scored low in these skills and I know that I will have to improve on these by standing up for myself and sometimes doing
