Personality Traits

One area of controversy is how well you can accurately assess the personalities of employees or potential employees. One popular way is through various questionnaires.

For your first post, give the following information:.

1. How would you rate yourself on each of the Big Five personality traits based on only the description of the trait? Would your friends agree with your self-ratings?

2. After your own self-ratings, do a word search in Google or other search engines on "big five personality test" and find an online personality test that will tell you how you rate on the Big Five dimensions.

Take the test, and compare your results with your initial self-ratings. How do you feel about the personality test you took? Was it accurate, or not very helpful? Also, provide the link to the test you found in case any of your classmates want to use it.
