Personality is the blueprint of the true definitions of who we are in terms of our
emotions, temperaments, and feelings about ourselves as well as others. Personality plays a
significant role in shaping our psychological being. In short personality is the cumulative
characteristics or traits that make up a person. The Big 5 personality is believed to be a
comprehensive number of traits of the personality define an individual. The big 5 personality
traits comprise openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and
extraversion (De, 2000). Notably, the 5 personality traits are a mixture of various traits such
as emotions, behaviour and adventures, curiosity, etc.
It was interesting to know more about myself in terms of my personality by
undertaking the Big 5 personality test. I had varied scores, which is a comprehensive
indication of the different traits that make up my personality. Amazingly, I scored 32 on
conscientiousness trait, which is the highest of all the five traits. The high score in
conscientiousness trait indicates that is thoughtful, organised and responsible person. I am
one person who is not influenced by spontaneous change but rather work with plan and
remain disciplined through. The agreeableness trait was my second highest trait with a score
of 24, which shows that am cooperative, kind hearted, and sympathetic person, as well as
adaptable to changing circumstances as well according to others (De, 2000). Neuroticism
trait came third after conscientiousness with a score of 20, which shows that sometimes I get
anxious easily despite of being naturally low tempered. Moreover, I had a relatively high
score in Extroversion trait compared to other trait with a score of 18 which shows am
partially an outgoing, people-oriented, and friendly. Unfortunately, I scored the lowest in
openness with a score of 6, which shows that am a conservative and a status-quo person.
Leadership effectiveness is closely associated with conscientiousness, openness, and
extroversion traits. My high score in conscientiousness is a good indication for my
preparedness in being an effective leader by remaining a responsible and thoughtful person who is ready to think on other ways of approaching situations. The unfortunate low score in
openness trait is a wakeup call to me that I should readjust myself to be accommodative to
variety and adventurous towards becoming an effective leader. Additionally, on the part of
extroversion trait I had a considerable good score, which also shows that I should work hard
to increase my interactions with others to make myself acquainted to people towards
becoming an effective leader.
My personality scores from the Big 5 personality test are of great significance in
shaping my behaviour towards work, school, and teamwork. At work I will have easy time
working with my colleagues given that am a kind-hearted person, cooperative, responsible
and organised person. At school I may not be the best person for group discussion given by
my poor openness trait since am not that explorative in nature. However, I feel I will be
effective in teamwork given that am sociable, cooperative with considerable low tempers. Reference
