There are a number of different tools and resources a person can use to gain insight into aspects of their personality. One such type of tool is a personality inventory or “test.” You may have seen examples of these tests online, or perhaps you have even taken one or more of them in the past. In this Discussion, you will use the results of one such online personality test to consider what qualities you already possess and which you would like to cultivate to be a more effective leader and follower. 

BY DAY 3

Post a summary of your personality test results, as well as how you might use these results to become a more effective leader and follower. In your summary, address the following:

• Summarize your results on “The Big Five Project Personality Test” and state whether you agree with these results. Provide a rationale to support your conclusion.
• Analyze how your personality might influence how you lead and how you follow. Draw on your professional and personal experience to provide examples.
• Identify one personal quality you would like to improve as you work to become a more effective leader and follower. Propose why this improvement would be a benefit to you and an organization.
