Individual Behavior Assignment- Complete the “Personal Insights: What’s My Basic Personality?
Individual Behavior Assignment (40 Points Total—8% of Your Grade) Instructions Complete the “Personal Insights: What’s My Basic Personality?” questionnaire on page 294 of the custom edition of your text. Using the “Analysis and Interpretation” section (pp. 294-295), calculate/determine your dominant personality type (i.e., which of the five dimensions did you score extremely high or low on—i.e., a 15 on the extraversion dimension suggesting you are an extravert OR a 3 on that same scale suggesting you are an introvert). If you do not feel comfortable sharing your actual scores on these dimensions with me, it is acceptable to just state that you scored high, moderate, or low on a dimension. If more than one dimension stood out with a very high or low score and you want to discuss multiple dimensions that is encouraged. If you scored in the moderate range on all five dimensions, just pick one and discuss it. Discuss your personality type and whether or not it fits well with your current job/occupation. If you are not currently working, discuss which type of job/occupation would be a good match for your personality. Use references related to personality and job/occupation/career/etc. to support your discussion. Cite your references within your discussion and include the full citations for your references on your Reference page at the end of your document, following the APA Guidelines that I provided you in Doc Sharing. Submit your completed assignment to the appropriate dropbox. This assignment is due by 1:00 PM on November 4, 2014. The following rubric will be used to grade your assignment.
