behavioural aspects based on various situations in the life-being. The respective test is being

test evaluates on various factors including; Extroversion, Emotional Stability, Agreeableness,
Conscientiousness and Intellect/ Imagination. Through the analysis of the test results, high
percentile of 78% was obtained for “Emotional Stability” element of the test. This indicates

also scored at a moderate rate. The test being performed guides dedicated efforts on the basis of
which better operational terms could be established and defines effective terms of workings. The

Reflection

The provided test i.e., Big 5 personality test describes focuses on agreeableness,
conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion and openness. Through answering various questions
in the test results was able to analyse my various personality traits. The test consists of various
situation based questions that delivered better terms on the basis of which coordinated results
were being obtained for performing variety of personal as well as professional tasks. I was able
to understand effective terms of workings on the basis of which better workings can be enabled
(Greiner & Julian, 2021). The results were being obtained on the basis of reliability and validity.
The performed test was reliable as it was performed with due considerations to professional
standards and considering ethical elements of the operations.
The stated test results speaks about having greater emotional skills that was reflected in
the test. Through the analysis effective operational standards were being set for which, I would
be able to deliver better terms of workings when being engaged in personal as well as
professional life tasks. This includes evaluating on my better terms on the basis of which
coordinated efforts could be produced on the basis of effective workings under complex business
environment. From the analysis of the test results, it can be obtained that I am socially active and
highly dedicate my efforts on deriving appropriate terms of effective working under dynamic
business environment. This will help me to coordinate each and every task allotted to me while
being indulged in a variety of situations. It guides better basis of understandings when integrated
in variety of situations and coordinating the results towards completion of personal as well as
professional life goals (Harman & Brown, 2022).
From the interpretation of provided test a measure is extremely consistent in measuring
something yet regularly measures the wrong concept, it might be dependable but not valid.
Similarly, a measure might be valid but unreliable if it measures the correct construct but does so
inconsistently. The degree to which a construct's measure is constant or trustworthy is known as
reliability. The amount to which a measure accurately represents the underlying construct that it
is designed to measure is referred to as validity, also known as construct validity. Therefore, by
taking key considerations to factors of reliability and validity strong basis of results and suitable
findings were being drawn.
Along with this, through analysis of test another element or factor that can be interpreted
that decent percentile on element of Agreeableness was being obtained through the test result.
This states about carrying decent workplace activities with optimistic and friendly approach

while approaching to the organisational tasks. Through this better engagements with various
other stakeholders of the workforce was also being taken into consideration. The effective
considerations to the model effective basis of workings can be made delivering effective terms of
workings at the dynamic business environment. I was able to interpret findings on better terms
on the basis of which effective control of each tasks while regulating variety of operational tasks.
This will enable effective basis of workings in the operational firm for which better terms of
human psychological factors is being taken into consideration. I am able to understand
complexities in working environment and integrate the key learnings for bringing in further
improvements in the future activities being performed with respect to attain desired goals and
objectives (Vlachogianni & Tselios, 2022).
Through the analysis of test results, it can be obtained that I also possess imagination
skills through the interpretation of decent score in the test. This considers taking into
consideration effective basis of understandings of tasks assigned an attainment of desired
business goals and objectives. Such goals and objectives are taken into consideration that
formulates better basis of workings at the workplace. From the analysis of the test results, it can
be obtained that I am socially active and highly dedicate my efforts on deriving appropriate
terms of effective working under dynamic business environment. This will help me to coordinate
each and every task allotted to me while being indulged in a variety of situations. It guides better
basis of understandings when integrated in variety of situations and coordinating the results
towards completion of personal as well as professional life goals. This establishes better working
standards for which coordinated actions can be taken with regards to attainment of desired goals
and objectives (Whyte & et. al., 2019).
