We studied the "Big Five" assessment instrument. In fact, you took the "Big Five" in class. What conclusions did we come to after studying this assessment instrument? A. The "Big Five" assessment instrument centers on five key attitudes that are key to business success. There is a "good" attitude and a "bad" attitude. We "are who we are" in terms of our attitude. The key is to be self-aware and to understand how others perceive our attitude toward certain requests and commands. For example, if we are "low" in terms of attitude, we should know this. This would suggest that we probably will not walk into a job with a cheerful outlook. We must put on a "good face" and pretend that we have a positive attitude. Otherwise, our boss will see through us. B. The "Big Five" assessment instrument centers on five key behaviors that are key to business success. There is a "good" way to behave and a "bad" way to behave. We "are who we are" behaviorally. The key is to be self-aware and to understand how we behave in context. For example, if we are "low" on the consciousness scale, we should know this. This would suggest that we have to learn to be more conscientious if we want to succeed in a job function that requires a high degree of conscientiousness on the part of the employee. C. The "Big Five" assessment instrument centers on five key personalities that we all possess. There is no "good" or "bad." We "are who we are" as a personality. The key is to be self-aware and to understand who we are "personality-wise" and how our personality can serve as a benefit or a detriment in certain leadership situations or job functions. For example, if we are "high" on the consciousness scale, we should know this. This would suggest that we will thrive in certain jobs that require a high degree of conscientiousness on the part of the employee. D. The "Big Five" assessment instrument centers on five key behaviors that are detrimental to business success. There is a "good" way to behave and a "bad" way to behave. We "are who we are" behaviorally but "personality-wise", we are who we are. This would suggest that we must learn to be more conscientious if we want to succeed in a job function that requires a high degree of conscientiousness on the part of the employee
