ORGB 201 Assignment #1: Personality Assessment (15%)

Ever consider why you might think or act in a certain way? Have you wondered by your peer might behave in a certain way? Understanding your personality is a key learning in your professional development. Most workplaces embrace the use of the Myers Briggs Personality Indicator (MBTI) as a measure of your personality type. The MBTI is the most popular personality assessment tool in the world. It is not a clinical tool. Rather, it is designed to raise awareness on the various dimensions of personality and how you interact with the world.

This assignment is designed to allow you the opportunity examine your personality type, how you interact with the world and others. Visit this site (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp) and complete the online assessment.

Remember – this is not a clinical tool and the formal MBTI is much more in-depth. However, this quick assessment will give you an idea about your personality type.

Your paper should be structured following APA guidelines and total 10 pages, plus a title page, and a reference page which includes references from your textbook, plus a minimum of 7 secondary resources of research. Do not forget in text citations. Double spaced.
