Question
ve ormation apter 8 prompt estion 3 (1 point) if you took a personality inventory based on Costa and McRae's Big Five personality dimensions, how do you think you would score on each of the five traits? (That is, for each of the Big Five, give yourself a rating from very low to very high. Note that you DO NOT have to take an actual inventory.) Was it rather easy or rather difficult to answer these questions honestly, and why or why not? Describe any aspects of your personality that you think are not captured within the Big Five traits SaveExplanation / Answer
Costa and Mc Rae developed the five factor theory of personality based on lexical approach. Lexical approach signifies that a word/adjective describes the trait a person has. In the same go, the acronym OCEAN abridge the five traits that costa and mcrae wanted to speak about.
Openness
Conscientiousness
Extraversion
Agreeableness
Neuroticism.
How will i score on this test?
Well following the same acronym sequence.
Openness:I will score high here. As Openness indicates curiosity and out of box approach to the daily routine.I am a adventure seeking person and hence would score high here.
Conscientiousness: I will score low to average on this trait. Conscientiousness imply discipline driven, organized and well planned person. I am a laid back one, who lets spontaneity take over the ardent meticulous planning.
Extraversion: People who are gregarious, social, with positive emotions, talkative, out going would score high here. I am an ambivert and I should be scoring an average score on this trait.
Agreeableness: Imply friendly, co-operative, approachable behaviour. I am around for help for people around me and am easily approachable. i wont pitch for a very high score there. But a moderate/a little above average.
Neuroticism: Well this imply the emotional vulnerability of a person. How reactive one is to the situation around. Though at the face of it , it seems a negative scale to score high on. But the flip side is scoring less on this score doesnt mean otherwise. I think situationally i would swing on this scale.
SO this is how i would score on the test.
Secondly, ANy person would want to score high on some of the traits and less on the remaining.
Reasons can be anything from social desirability and the want to look good.
So the second question, is it difficult to be answer the questions honeslty? Not really but then if you wish to determine your social acceptance based on these traits or if the test proves to be a break through point to get employment then a person will surely give socially acceptable answers.
