My results are in....

Extraversion Score was 8 points.

Agreeableness Score was 10 points.

Conscientiousness Score was 9 points.

Emotional Stability Score was 6 points.

Openness to Experience Score was 9 points.

I would say my personality is strong and sensitive.

I am currently working at a "scrap company". We have a shredder, which means we recycle metals and ship them to the mills. My organizational environment has shifted. We used to be more calm and never worried about our jobs. We were treated nicer than we are now. Our president of the company retired and the vice president took his place. When this happened things changed for the worse.

One of my traits that does not work in an organizational culture is my emotional stability. I know things bother me more than other people. This trait gets in my way a lot. My second trait is extraversion. This trait gets me in trouble if I talk too much when I work.

The effect that an organizational culture might have on the personality traits are trying to be someone you are not. Sometimes we have to act and be a certain way in the workplace. This is a hard thing to

It seem as though I am well rounded based on my score. With my lowest score being an extrovert and my highest score in openness to experience, I believe these are good qualities to have so you can influence an organization. The need to be an extrovert in an organization is a plus if you want a promotion, as it can be seen as a soft skill. Being open to experience can help a company grow, and reach place it wouldn't think it could reach. It allows people to continue to learn and grow. I have worked on property management for the last eleven years on the operations side. Working in my line of work, you need to be well rounded in order to succeed, because we wear many hats daily.

My results look to be that I am pretty even across the board. I think that makes sense when looking at how I interact in my personal and professional life. I would agree with you Brian that being an extrovert can help in situations that could further your career and wish my score was a bit higher in that area. I am a Project Manager and it is important to carry all of these traits in order for me to be successful in managing projects and engaging with others to make the project a success.
