Self assessments have been used widely in recent decades. The usefulness and truthfulness of these assessments depend entirely upon the user. Utilizing a self assessment tool for the betterment of self is the goal of this report. In this report, I have completed 3 different self assessments to analyze myself. The first assessment that will be discussed is the Jung Personality Test. The next one will be the Team Role Preference Survey followed by the Work Locus of Control Survey. Each of these surveys focuses on various behavioural and personality traits. The Jung Personality Test focuses on four principal physiological functions by which we view the world: feeling, intuition, sensation, and thinking. The team Role Preference Survey is geared towards identifying an individual's preferred roles in meetings and team activities. The Work Locus of Control is designed to determine control beliefs in the workplace. The results obtained from the three surveys indicated predominantly what I already knew about myself. My teamwork ability and my interpersonal skills allow me to be an effective mediator. My locus of control being in-between confirms my suspicion that I believe in effort equals reward but also that external factors are always an influence.
Jung Personality Test The Jung Personality test is also known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which is an assessment that is designed to help someone who is taking the test understand his/her preference towards perceiving and judging information through four categories; Sensing vs. Intuition, Thinking vs. Feeling, Perceiving vs. judging and Extrovert vs. Introvert. After taking the assessment, the results indicated that I have a slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (22%). I also have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%) as well as a moderate preference
