For my past two employers, I had to take personality assessments. Personally, I was hesitant because the thought of the tests makes me nervous, due to test anxiety.

The big five personality test gave your results in a acronym (OCEAN) form. Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism are the words that make up the acronym. My results were Openness to Experience/Intellect- 96 percentile, Conscientiousness- 41 percentile, Extraversion- 64 percentile, Agreeableness-32 percentile and Neuroticism-49 percentile. Overall, I liked the Big Five website however I personally enjoyed taking the Jung typology test better as I thought that it had more accurate results.

Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment.
