Executive summary
The aim of this report is to study organization behavior, through four personality tests. The
report is a personal critical evaluation. Four personality tests, namely Myers Briggs, McCrae’s
Big 5 Personality Traits, Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument and McClelland Needs
Analysis have been conducted and the findings have been presented. Additionally, a detailed
critical analysis has been presented based on the findings. An action plan has also been provided,
which can be assessed using the SMART framework. Such a report would be beneficial in
gaining a deeper understanding of oneself and help in highlighting room for improvement for
future roles.

Introduction:
The main purpose of a personality test is to assess individual human constructs. Most of
the commonly used personality traits are usually introspective in nature and cause one to delve
deep into their individual selves (Kline 2015). Personality tests like Myers Briggs or McCrae’s
Big 5 Personality Traits test would one gain insight into the main component’s of one personality
and the very essence of their being. On a personal note, if I had to take up a leadership role or a
managerial role in the future, I would need to find a career that suits my personality. I took four
tests, namely Myers Briggs, McCrae’s Big 5 Personality Traits, Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode
Instrument and McClelland Needs Analysis. This report will discuss the results of these
personality traits.
Discussion:
Brief overview of findings
The Myers Briggs personality test had the following results: Extrovert (12 %), Thinking
(1%), Judging (28%) and Intuitive (12%). The result showed that I was more inclined towards
extroversion than introversion, intuition than sensing, almost no inclination towards thinking and
judging than perceiving. The McCrae’s Big 5 Personality Traits test had the following results –
Extroversion (11), agreeableness (12), conscientiousness (12), emotional stability (7.5) and
openness to new experience (9). The Thomas Kilmann Conflict Mode instrument showed that
my dominant style is accommodating teddy bear and my back up style is collaborating owl. The
McClelland Needs analysis showed that my achievement score is 24, my affiliation score is 19,
