Executive Summary
Personality traits in an organization are very important when dealing with employees and
performance. Personality assessments get used for the purpose. As a potential leader I did tests to
check my traits and skills. In relation to Myer Briggs, Costa & McCrae, Thomas-KillMann and
McClelland theories, I have reflection on my leadership skills and trains. The paper shows that
results and one unique thing is that I am more of an extrovert, consciousness and competitive as
evidenced in my reflection. The areas of concern are dealt with in the action plan.

1.0 Introduction
In organization traits and skills are essential in every day running of the business. The
report examines my personality traits as a way of developing management skills. The assessment
tests were the Jung Typology Test, 16 Personality Test, and the Big Five Personality Test and a
brief analysis of the results is given. Additionally, three theories were used in critical analysis; a
reflection is given and a conclusion.
2.0 Brief Review of Results
1. Jung Typology Test
The first tool employed in personality test is the Jung Typology test which measures
extravert, sensing, feeling and judging. The results obtained were 50%, 12%, 31%, and 40%
respectively. Table 1 in appendixes shows the results.
2. 16 Personality Test
Extraverted/Introverted: The results show 75% extraversion and 25% introversion and imply
that I am energized by engagements, being active and being around people.
Intuitive/Observant: The results show 70% intuitive and 30% observant and imply that I
concentrate more on abstract thinking. The level of processing and perceiving information is low
as it is indicated by observant at 30%
Thinking/Feeling: The results show 33% in thinking and 67% in feeling. Thinkers make
decisions in a logical manner which is not my case. Feelers make decisions based on their hearts,
and this reflects me.
Judging/Prospecting: This shows the tactics and how people handle different structure in their
daily undertakings. The results show that my judging is 75% and perspective is 25%. It means
that I am the person who likes order and structure.
