TASK
You are required to complete the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Big Five Personality Test, the McDonald and Gandz Values and Commitment Survey, and the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) that were discussed in class. Using your personal results and the theoretical concepts and frameworks of OB related to personality, attitudes and values and national culture making that you have studied in this subject:
1. Write a brief personal biography of yourself.
2. Identify and discuss the findings of your survey/tests to describe your own dominant personality traits and personal values. (You may find it useful to present the data in table form and use this as a basis for your analysis).
3. Identify and analyse your individual strengths and weaknesses revealed through the various test results, and critically reflect on how these might affect individual behaviour and actions. (For example, what insights does your analysis provide on how your personality and personal values and belief system influence your response to different situations either in the workplace or day-to-day living, your interactions with others, what is important to you, and your preferred activities. Provide examples to support your discussion.)
4. Consider how the insights provided by your critical reflection above and your reading of organisational behaviour theory might help you better manage yourself and others. Give examples of how you do or could apply these when managing others.
