Description

There are many applications of personality assessment in life, specifically in the workplace. Personality assessment can provide details about how employees tend to view certain situations, how they may approach certain tasks, and their preference for communication style. With different approaches to understanding personality, there are multiple options for personality assessments.

Imagine your team has been asked to determine a theoretical approach to assessing the personality of employees at your organization. You must create a presentation for your human resources department to explain the theories and propose a theoretical approach to assessing employee personality.

Create a 2-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation on the theories presented this week. Your presentation should include:

slides 8-9

  • A proposal of one theory as the chosen theoretical approach and rationale for proposing this approach over the others. (2 slides) With speaker notes.

Include a minimum of 1 source other than your textbook. Feist, J. (2017). Theories of Personality, 9th Edition

Format any citations within your presentation according to APA guidelines.
