I briefly discussed the importance of learning your personality colours in order to better contribute of efficiency and effectiveness within the workplace, but I recently attended a workshop that dealt even further into personality examination.
The Workplace Big Five Profile is a personality assessment that is used to help better understand and problem solve through...
- Team building
- Leadership development
- Performance coaching
- Job Selection and hiring
- Succession planning
- Management/supervisory training
- Career development
- Sales training
- Conflict management
The five 'Supertraits' of the WorkPlace in this assessment are:
1. Need for Stability: Explains how people at work respond to and handle stressful situations, a critical aspect of today’s successful work environment
2. Extraversion: Defines how people at work tolerate and deal with sensory bombardment or the lack of it, as when people work alone at home, which can come in the form of people, situations, and sensory experiences such as a three-day senior management off-site strategy meeting
3. Originality: Illustrates how open and accepting people at work are to new experiences, ideas, and change
4. Accommodation: Measures how easily or uneasily people defer to others—this Supertrait relates directly to power and how to use it effectively
5. Consolidation: Explains the degree to which people at work focus on their work, goal accomplishment, and needs for achievement and success
When you can reflect on your own personality and learn how to benefit it to your advantage in life you can be a very powerful and inspirational asset. It can help you relate to others and understand why you act or react the way you do to specific situations. As with Dr. Stephen Covey's work it can help you to become a better person and a better leader.
Think about what each subtrait involves and how you think you would score in each? Would you consider yourself with a very high or low sense of sociability or humility? Would your family or peers think the same?
