What Is The Importance Of Personality

Throughout any organization, different roles require different skill sets and aptitudes, which are tied to personality. Not every temperament can be a motivating leader, an engaging front-line customer contact or a micromanaging organizational specialist. Organizations are recognizing more and more the importance of personality when looking for candidates to fill job openings. The following will explain my personal results after completing the Prentice Hall Self-Assessment and how I will use the analysis to become a better employee, co-worker, and/or manager. Introduction
Personality is the sum total of ways in which an individual reacts to and interacts with others. One of the best supported models for measuring personality involves the

I would never ignore/avoid a situation because that will only allow it to feaster and lead to a vast rumor mill, low production, distrust and job dissatisfaction. I believe collaboration and compromising work best in an office setting.
Life in Organizations I am more comfortable in a rule-oriented, formal, mechanistic work culture. In addition, I prefer clearly set expectations and established goals. However, I am able to adapt to change to stay compliant with company guidelines and accomplish the task at hand. Being an A type perfectionist, it is hard to delegate because of fear others will not be as detailed as myself.

Being on call after normal business hours causes me to be tired and unmotivated to do anything else after getting home at night. My sports schedule also suffers when emergencies pop up at work or additional work is added on at the last minute. I try to use sports as my stress reliever after a full day of work, but sometimes I’m so exhausted both physically and emotionally and just can’t

In addition, my reading and research has helped me realize there are no “good” or “bad” personality types just different ones with both strengths and weaknesses but they are all relative. While one may compliment others better than another, all are needed in order for the workplace to be successful. I also learned different things motivate different people; everyone has their own niche. In order to be successful at an organization, it helps to focus on those things that keep you going, avoid stress, and perform your best.
From a professional standpoint, I understand my strengths of organization, planning, and strategic thinking but have tended to ignore my weaknesses. Ignoring those weaknesses for so long have caused me to be at a standstill in life as well as on my job. Even though the unknown factors and changes of a situation are painful for an INTP like myself, I’m open to field experiences, being more flexible when change occurs, and be willing to delegate in order to take some pressure off of myself.
