...HAND TEST DR. EDWARD E. WAGNER HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT • The first scientific attempts in relating the hand to personality developed out of the study of the body types (asthenic/thin; atheletic/ muscular; pyknic/ stocky) by Ernst Kretschmer in 1931. o BODY TYPES--- TRAITS( PSYCHOPATHOLOGIES ▪ PYKNIC: friendly ( depressive ▪ ASTHENIC: timid, introverted ( schizophrenic • Charlotte Wolff (1943) studied certain characteristics of the hand and handedness and derived a practical method of the hand interpretation based on the studied characteristic. o The Hand in Psychological Diagnosis (1951) considers the significance of endocrinological dysfunction, its psychological effects and chirological manifestations & outlines how and why the hand reflects temperament and personality. • The first empirical research was a report by Carmichael, Roberts and Wessell (1937) which showed that , to some degree, emotions can be encoded in and decoded from dynamic body movements, gait, and manual gestures. • The Hand Test was originated by E. Wagner in 1958 and was primarily used to differentiate normal from schizophrenic. • In 1962, Bricklin Protowski and Wagner published a monograph with an initial rationale and scoring for the Hand Test. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK • Hand Test was developed to meet the general criteria for a projective test and also to be easily classified for empirical examination ...

...can derive an un-weighted gap score or a weighted gap score. Weighting depends upon how you allocate 100 points among the five SERVQUAL categories. A modified use of the questionnaire is to limit it to just the total or average Perception score. This is called SERVPERF and is used when Expectations are likely to be all the same (typically high). Weights can be applied here as well. STEPS TO OBTAIN UNWEIGHTED SERVQUAL SCORE Step 1. Select a business the service quality of which you want to assess. Using the SERVQUAL instrument, first obtain the score for each of the 22 expectation questions. Next, obtain a core for each of the perception questions. Calculate the Gap Score each of the statements (Gap Score = Perception – Expectation). Step 2. Obtain an average Gap Score for each dimension by assessing the Gap Scores for each of the statements that constitute the dimension and dividing the sum by the number of statements making up the dimension. Step 3. In TABLE 1 transfer the average dimension SERVQUAL scores (for all five dimensions) from the SERVQUAL instrument. Sum up the scores and divide it by five to obtain the unweighted measure of service quality. STEPS TO OBTAIN THE WEIGHTED SERVQUAL SCORE Step 1. In Table 2 calculate the importance weights for each of the five dimensions constituting the SERVQUAL scale. (The instructions are provided along with the table). Step 2. In Table 3 enter the average SERVQUAL score for each dimension (from Table...

...76 range. Organizations with employees who score low are more likely to experience higher absenteeism and turnover. Gary is reliable and always on time. He is frequently counted on to ensure tasks are completed by other employees and has good leadership qualities. His time management is definitely a concern. He waits until the last minute to accomplish tasks and leaves team members scrambling when trying to accomplish tasks. Am I Engaged? Gary scored a 9 indicating that he is very detached from his current duties. Those who score high are more likely to have job satisfaction, work through problems and challenges, and devote more time to their jobs. Gary has the ability to overcome his lack of interest in his position though his work ethic. If challenged with different tasks it will spark his creative side and gain his attention again. If Gary has no interest in his assignments then he won’t give 100% to the team which will lessen his engagement. How Are You Feeling Right Now? Gary scored 33 from a range of 10 to 50. Higher numbers indicate more positive emotions, which benefit the organizational culture. Gary knows how to compose himself when in a work setting. He does fly off the handle at employees or make anyone nervous. Gary focuses on the negatives rather than the positives. This action tends to bring employees down around him.

...that the test was accurate because some of the questions were trick questions and I believe that there was no right answer for any of them. I do feel a simple test like the one that we had to take can determine what someone’s IQ is. The test said my IQ was an 87 and the average of people who take the test get a 100. When they say the average is 100 that makes me think of 100% and I would think the score I got would be closer to an average score. I feel that the test is biases because the way the test was conducted was not very legit. If someone else were to take it I feel as if they would be offended because they would think to themselves well I am not the average then what am I retarded. In order for it not to be biases they also need to get opinions from other sides instead of just its own because it is a computer and how can a computer tell you how smart you are. I do not like these scores being used to compare to me another person because I do not like being compared to other people in the first place. I think in order to use these scores to compare you would need more scores to use. You cannot use just one because what if this test is wrong and the IQ you got is not the right one. You will never know unless you find another site to use. Everyone has their own IQ and should not be compared to others using the average because we are all...

...ratings of job performance and of theft, discipline problems, and excessive absenteeism” (Robbins & Judge, 2011, pg. 1). As a manager for Riordan Manufacturing, three employees took a series of self-assessment tests for my organization. The analysis and interpretation scores of all three are positive and all three would make a great contribution to the organization. Positive people cognitively process more efficiently and are more productive. Job Satisfaction and Engaged High job satisfaction was above the range that determines lower levels of absenteeism, and their general attitude toward work is positive. Their engaged scores were also high, which defines these employees are in a positive state of motivation and fulfillment. “Individuals who score high in this category are loyal, dedicated, willing to devote considerable time to work, feel inspired by and proud of their work, and become immersed and absorbed while performing their work” (Stephen P. Robbins/University of Phoenix, 2005-2009). My employees are content coming to work and will possess good work ethics and values. They are self motivated will perform to high standards and will create a positive work. Emotional Emotional intensity scores for all three were a bit higher than the average scale. Emotions, moods, and dispositions have an impact on job performance, decision making, creativity, teamwork, and leadership. However, this is good if emotions are displayed in a positive and not...

I have learned and overcome many obstacles along the way. I would like to think of my career as consistent growth and change. I am always willing to adapt and adjust within my position as time goes on and technology becomes more enhanced. My career has leaded me to a path where I can always advance within my job and there is always knowledge and experience to grow from.

...Attitude Survey Paper In today’s economy, measuring attitudes is important. According to Hogan (2007), an attitude is usually defined with respect to its object. Objects include concepts, practice, group, institutions or an individual (p. 573). Attitudes consist of three components: cognitive, emotional and behavioral. I designed an attitude survey using the SERVQUAL approach to assess the attitudes of my coworkers at Ralcorp Frozen Bakery Products (RFBP). The purpose of the survey is to gain an understanding of the attitudes and perceptions that RFBP employees have toward the company. The purpose of the paper is to discuss the design, administration, scoring, and interpretation of the survey as well as any issues I experienced while creating the survey. Design According to Fink and Kosecoff (1998), surveys are a collection of data used to obtain information from individuals. The design of the survey was based on the SERVQUAL approach. The survey was designed for two purposes: employees to express his or her concerns toward Ralcorp and measure his or her expectations of the company while employed. The audience for this survey was employees who have been with the company for less than a year and for employees who have been with the company more than five years, to see if any improvements have been made. The survey will be administered two weeks after he or she comes off probation through a written format. This survey consisted of 11 items and took each employee...

Dimasacat. Mariel Garejo, Nikki Rose S. Pasia, Nekke Lettie Joy A. Submitted to: Engr. Marielli Katherine C. Untalan February 16, 2013 I. Introduction: Consumer acceptability tests are one form of quantitative affective test. Quantitative affective tests are those which determine the responses of a large group (50 to 400) of consumers to a set of questions regarding preference, liking, sensory attributes, etc. The analysts use Hedonic Scale Rating Test for determining the consumer acceptability of the product sample. This method shows the degree of liking for a product sample to be evaluated and indirectly shows preference. However, it does not show the reason for acceptability. In addition, it cannot be used for quality control purposes since it does not show product development. II. Objectives: 1. To learn to conduct acceptability tests. 2. To know and understand the different types of consumer acceptability tests 3. To understand the principle involved in consumer acceptability test 4.

...The First Time of Taking TOEFL Test Outside the window, only a few houses still had their light on. The street lamps turned the glow color from white to yellow, a warm color that could pacify the anxiety of the passerby. I looked up at the sky. The dark blue sky extended to the boundless distant place, to the other side of the earth—America—the country where I wanted to go to school. To achieve this goal, I had to take two exams, the TOEFL and SAT. I took a deep breath, thinking about my TOEFL exam. Test Of English as Foreign Language, the first barricade I need to go through, now bothered me a lot. I was forced to practice it again and again, to make sure my score was good enough to apply the American universities. But my reading, listening, speaking and writing skills could not assist me to get an excellent grade. I knew it well. So I could not stay outside for a long period of time. I needed to come inside and begin my practice once more. “It’s time”. Dad sipped his hot tea, reminding me to continue my work. “Go do your work.” His gentle voice sounded like a ringing clock, low and deep but powerful, pushing me to obey his order. “Yes”. I responded, and turned on the computer to listen to the online TOEFL course. I attempted to note down all the key point the teacher said. She then started a listening practice. As the lecture began, I worked on taking note of the key words for the questions that would come out after the lecture. Hours later, after finishing...

For the human resource frame, I scored 20. For the political frame, I scored 14. For the symbolic frame, I scored 13. I scored low in the structural frame. According to our textbook, “A low score may mean a blind spot,” (Weiss, 2011, p.154). This means that I would most likely not flourish in a bureaucratic-type culture. I find it odd that I would score so low on the structural frame as I really enjoy procedure and structure in my personal and work life. I scored highest in the human resource frame. I really appreciated scoring high in the human resource frame as my minor is in human resources. This means that I focus on people, developing their skills, seeing their growth as a personal accomplishment, and seeing them as not just a means to and end– but as the most important part of the organization. 2- Vision is the foundation of a successful organization. It is the base on which mission statements and strategies must be built on. According to An Introduction to Leadership, “It provides direction for the company’s course by outlining a destination, and invites participation through its positive and uplifting description,” (Weiss, 2011, p...
