1.0 Introduction
Personal development is one of the most important aspects of self-evaluation of what
situation the person is in and what development aspect needed for the development of the
person. The improved self-awareness, knowledge, skill and development process, self-
esteem, career development and possible strength and opportunities are the prevalent aspects
of personal development. The improvement of this development process aligned with the
training and guidance of that person are crucial. I have certain career planning for achieving
leadership position in the organisation. The positional development and improvement of areas
need to be done so that effective upgradation of position will be attained by me. The
emotional development and mental development are important aspects that encourage the
physical and mental development of the person. I need that evaluation so that I understand
my strengths and weaknesses and then work over it.
2.0 Self-awareness
2.1 Personality
In case of evaluating my personality, Big Five Personality Test has been chosen and
the test signifies the qualities I have and the improvements I need for the development of my
personal and professional career. There are five main aspects of that test like Openness,
Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. In case of openness, I get
75% on openness as the process describes the creative aspect and intellectual mindset. High
score in openness showcases the creativity of mine and development of artistic expression in
me (Truity.com 2018). In leisure time, I used to involve with the cultural activities and that is
the reason high IQ development and the process of intercultural development persist within
me.
