...Psychology 204 November 6th , 2015 Five Factor Model Paper According to my results from the Five Factor Model test I completed I am a kind and trusting person who has a wild imagination, who often feels anxious and or irritated. My highest scores were in agreeableness, and openness to experiences. According to my text book people who score high in the agreeableness category tend to be “sociable and easy to get along with, and those who score high under openness to experiences are intellectually curious, and untraditional” (Lilienfeld, 2011). My lowest scores were in emotional stability and extraversion, scoring low in these categories means that I am likely to be anxious, irritated, and shy. I believe that the results are consistent with how I see myself. I have come to accept that I am a sensitive person who feels shy and closed off when trying to integrate with a new group, especially big groups. Although I am shy in big groups I do well in dyads, I feel less anxious in small groups, and many people have said that they enjoy confiding in me because they find me easy to talk to. Personality is complex and it varies between each person because our personalities have many dimensions and layer, but I think that this personality test kind of covers all the bases. When I compare my results to the table of Portland State University college student norms I see that my means tend to stay mostly moderate compared to the norms. My scores placed moderate for extraversion, conscientiousness...

On the high side of extraversion, I have full of energy. On low side, needed more time alone and less involved in the social activity. I believe the score that I got was somewhat accurate. I tend to like to have the opportunities for a good time. I do agree with this score, because I like to spend time and talk with people so I really like meeting new people. For example, I feel comfortable around other people and I do not talk a lot. I make friends quickly and easily. The score I received in Agreeableness Factor was 31.

...Stacy H. McConville Discussion Board Forum 3 August 1, 2014 Psychology 341 The Five-Facture Model of Personality by McCrae and Costa is very descriptive and predicted by three primary features consisting of basic tendencies, characteristics adaptions, and self-concept. (Feist, 2013, pp. 374-397) The five-factor personalities are extraversion, neuroticism, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. The Bible pertains numerous different character traits for us to provide each of us with guidance, understanding, correction, wisdom, direction, and truth on the characteristics that we personally possess that need removal and or change to grow in Jesus Christ’s image, and the traits that we need to be thankful for and grow them to serve God. The Biblical character Daniel is faithful in His personal relationship with God always trusting God for direction, wisdom, guidance, knowledge, healing, and God’s love for Him. When Daniel is removed from spending the night in a den of lions it says in Daniel 6:23 “no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Bible NIV) Daniel knew who had the ultimate power over him and placed his trust in God alone Daniel after being captured and arriving in a foreign land keeps and refuses to stray from His faith displaying integrity. Daniel regardless of the situation He presently faced was faithful in preserving in His Christian faith and trust...

...Resiliency and the Five-Factor Model By: Ketmany Guenin Psychology: Research Methods Dr. Wall 12/04/2013 Introduction Individual differences in psychology concentrate on how people are different from each other in their own unique way. This level of psychology differentiates people based on their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Psychological constructs that attract research interact in individual differences include: personality, psychopathology, cognitive abilities, social attitudes and psychological interests. The most highly researched areas in psychology are differences in personality and in intelligence (Albon, 1994). The Five Factor Model of Personality is a trait theory that was originated by several researchers and it examines five traits that can fully describe personality. (e.g. Fiske, 1949; Norman, 1963). The ‘Big Five’ are Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness and are commonly referred to as: N, E, O, A, and C. Extraversion refers to the tendency of enjoying other’s company and people who are outgoing. Neuroticism is the tendency to get upset easily, also known as emotional stability. Agreeableness is the tendency to be cooperative with others. Conscientiousness is the tendency to be motivated and achieve goals. Openness to Experience is the tendency to be open to trying new things and being adventurous (Glantz). Garmezy became interested in the concept of resilience through the...

...The medical model “proposes that it is useful to think of abnormal behavior as a disease” although it should be viewed as with more sympathy and less hate and rejection feelings (Psych textbook). Sympathy is one of the items lacking in those with the antisocial personality or behaviors of it. According to a journal written by Walters, he illustrated that those with comorbidity of antisocial behavior and crime or substance misuse people don’t have much of a social support (Walters, 2013). He experimented this by conducting a meta-analysis of research using the NEO-PI to “assess the five dimensions of the five-factor model of personality” and he analyzed samples of those with “comorbid antisocial personality disorder and substance use” with...

(Explain your organization and its nature of business briefly). Justify your choice, and discuss these two factors in detail. Assuming that the U.S. sub-prime crisis of the present day is now affecting the Asian economies and your organization is feeling the effects of slowing sales as well as rising raw materials cost. Downsizing is a real possibility and one of the most challenging aspects of human resources management. Discuss some of the approaches to use, and describe how you would go about downsizing 20% of your work force if you are eventually forced to do so. Give an example of another organization where downsizing has evidently not benefited that company. Elaborate in detail.

...Asperger syndrome is a developmental disorder in which an individual “maintains adequate cognitive and language development but becomes severely impaired in social interaction”. Individuals with Asperger syndrome also develop “restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities” (Halgin & Whitbourne, 2010, p. 347). The most common misconception that many people seem to have about Asperger Syndrome is that all individuals with Asperger syndrome are exceptionally talented. One reason might be that Asperger Syndrome is not yet widely recognized by the people. Meanwhile, popular media, such as TV, movies, and magazines often portray characters that are diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome as wacky geniuses. Also, there have been a lot of speculations about many historical figures having Asperger syndrome; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Albert Einstein, and Vincent Van Gogh are some of the most well-known historical figures who may have had Asperger Syndrome. Despite all these, it is important for people to understand that not all people with Asperger Syndrome are gifted and not all people who are extremely talented have Asperger syndrome. Asperger syndrome is categorized into a disorder called Pervasive Developmental Disorders. Other diagnostic categories include autistic disorder, Rett’s disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (Mastropieri & Scruggs, 2010, p. 86). Individuals with...

...“must-have” products has been nothing short of amazing. The company did it by being disruptive. When Apple launched the iPod, Steve Jobs created a device that changed not only how the consumer listens to music, but also how he or she communicates, takes pictures, reads, or just passes time. Apple took smartphones to a new level, creating something sleek and innovative. Jobs created a cool new music player for “cool” people. The company established a high-cost narrow-focused market segment (Baltzan, 2011). The iPod and Apple would end up with a high perceived-value that meant, while the consumer always paid a premium price, he or she also always received an operationally superior product and great customer service. Applying Porter’s Five Factors Model, Apple demonstrates its superiority in the smartphone/tablet industry. While the company does not dominate the global market, it does dominate in profits. As a result of large profits, Apple has more financial leverage in negotiations with suppliers and manufacturers. Rivalries and substitutes are generally not an issue among existing Apple device users. Brand loyalty is extremely strong among Apple users. The examination of Apple through Porter’s lens reveals a company that is sustainable. Do you agree or disagree that Apple’s iTunes, iPhone apps, and iPad apps give the company a competitive advantage? Be sure to justify your answer. I agree that Apple’s iTunes, iPhone apps, and iPad apps (App Store) do give Apple...

...The reason this can be a challenge for these high scorers is if they were to become a mentor for a protégé. The mentor is going to provide experience and knowledge for these protégés and if this protégé does get annoyed by their mentor then it will make it hard for them to learn. Because extraversion is one of the big five personality factors then the personality trait of extraversion will be stable for most of their life, which will make it hard for these high scorers to change this. The high scorers who become a mentor must learn a level of balance when providing guidance to these protégés in order for them to gain the most knowledge. My personal score is detrimental to networking, as it makes it harder for me to stand...

Wade Student: American Intercontinental University Class: ENG106 Abstract Trying to set out and find the perfect computer for the members of my organization there are several factor that are vitally important. These are factors are but not limited to memory, anti-virus protection, and processing speed. So the best choice of all three of these in one would be a MAC from Apple.

...During the past few years Target has focused on its microenvironmental factors. They have claimed to have focused on 4 primary causes to the overall factor of the company. First off when you talk about Target you also have to mention their greatest competitor which is Walmart. So, the first stage of these factors is Competitors. The main and well known strategy that they use is very low prices that are resonated with the consumer. This all started when the economy took a plunge into recession and consumers were trying to savor every penny they had in pocket. This led to a decline in market share for target because Walmart then has the largest microenvironment as a competitor with a low costing store. Next on the list of factors is the customers that buy from these stores. As mentioned in the beginning as the recession started customers started relying more on coupons and other ways to save a dollar. This was so wide spread over the U.S. because unemployment rates rose to their all-time highs. Target is very well-known for their style and having slightly higher prices than Walmart for the “better quality” that a customer didn’t have a problem paying before the recession. Overall this idea of being fashionable and spending a few extra dollars on merchandise led to a decrease in customers for Target because they were not being cost savvy for the average customer. If they had done a better job in fulfilling customer satisfaction than Walmart did then they could have had the higher...
