ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR3
Introduction:
The fundamental purpose of most of the psychometric test is to facilitate the
understanding regarding the condition of mental health. It is important to note here that the
psychometric test serves the people with the ability to figure out the kind of education, which
they require in terms of becoming the successful working professional in future. It is to be
noted here that by completion of this test, people become able to explore there area of
weaknesses and take action accordingly in order to improve the same (Lind, 2019). The aim
of this paper is to assess Big 5 personality scale and perpetual error. In this paper, I will
conduct my personality test and analyse the result. Both the positive and negative aspect of
the test will be discussed in the paper. In addition, result of the test will be applied in the
managerial setting and perpetual error and their impact on managerial setting will also be
evaluated in the paper.
Question 1- Discuss the positive and negative aspects of your Big 5 results
on each dimension and how this may affect the way you carry out your
work and task:
Personality test comprises of the standardise tasks that are designed in order to
determine various aspects of personality of people. This is the way, through which the
emotional status of individual people can be assessed. The big five assessment score assesses
the five different dimensions of personality of the people such as openness,
conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (Thibaut, 2017). Conduction
of this test has helped me to understand all the different aspects of my personality.
Openness is the first dimension of the personality test. This describes the tendency of
a person to think in more complicated and abstract way. In addition, openness is highly

associated with the interest of people in art and culture. High score means the people is more
creative. I have scored 71% in this dimension, which means that I am adventurous, creative
an intellectual. In addition, this score in openness also shows that I love to play with multiple
ideas and thereby gather noble experience. On the contrary, the people with low score in
openness tend to be much more practical and focused on concrete experience (Fiske, 2018).
However, people with high score in openness signifies that they enjoy art and are
extremely interested towards complex forms of self-expression. This is one of the most
positive aspects of my personality. Conscientiousness is the second major dimension of
personality in the big five test. This is the ability of a person to be self-disciplined and have
control over own mental state (Dovidio et al., 2017). I have scored 62.5% in this dimension,
which shows that I tend to be highly practical, organised and at the same time, I am quite
impulsive. My score is average in this dimension. The people with high score hold the ability
to miss immediate gratification in order to accomplish ling term goal. On the other hand, the
low scorers can be easily over tracked. The underlying concept of consciousness focuses on
the dilemma, which the people face in life. As my score is average in this dimension is
average, it can be said that I can balance my emotion and work proficiently towards the
predetermined goal.
Extraversion is another major dimension of the personality of people. This describes
the inclination of a person in order to seek stimulation from the outside world. These people
are highly intended towards seeking the attention of others. It is to be noted here that these
people engage actively with others in order to acquire friendship, admiration, power, status,
excitement, and romance (Shibutani, 2017). I have scored 56% in this section, which is also
average. This means that both the qualities of extrovert people and introvert people are
present in mine. It is true that I love speaking. However, I love to speak with those people,
with whom I am comfortable. At the same time, I am situation specific person and cannot
