...an effort to better understand myself and why I make some of the choices in my life, I have taken two personality profile questionnaires online; the first was one recommended by my professor, called Keirsey Character Sorter, the second was of choosing and that led me to Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test. After careful dissection of the results I found that even though some of the findings were similar, the two tests painted different pictures of my personality. I will contrast and attempt to compare both examinations, showing why I believe the Keiser test is a more accurate description of my personality and character. I took both tests within one day of each other, to avoid an influence from one test on the other. After completion of the Keirsey test, I found the results to be surprisingly accurate, especially its description of the way my type makes decisions and view important choices. As for the Jung Typology test, I found it to be only accurate in generalities; the same way a daily horoscope found in the back of a newspaper would be. Both tests consisted of more than 60 questions with only two possible answers, all of which I answered with an open mind and honesty. The Keirsey test described my personality as a Rational Inventor or (ENTP), in it I found deep connection with its key characteristics, specially the first paragraph where it describes how this type of personality “is always trying to build a better mouse trap”(Keirsey, n.d., para1). From a very young age I found...

Topics such as human and social sciences interests us the most. While we learn new theories easily, we also tend to apply and validate these theories in real life....

...Personality Profile MGT/360 The Dictionary.com (2012) website states that the definition of sustainability in the view of environmental sciences is “the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance”. To me a sustainable business leader is one who has the ability to think out of the box and look at a situation from an outside perspective. A leader can do this not only by looking for problems, but also by rewarding and continuing the processes already in place. Leaders need to be proactive in the ecological effects of their company. I chose to research Anita Roper of Alcoa, a company in East Iceland. This company announced that it would build a smelter and hydroelectric plant in a populated area. This caused unrest among the population in the area and Anita was responsible for forming a Stakeholder advisory group which was responsible for developing indicators to measure the performance of the plant against sustainability. These metrics were divided into four main categories. “Direct-Alcoa (or Landsvirkjun) has sole accountability for the respective performance (e.g., plant air emissions). Indirect-Alcoa or Landsvirkjun has some level of influence; however, other stakeholders also influence performance (e.g., the number and proportion of jobs in key economic sectors nationally and in the local community). Induced-The project will affect changes in the community; however, Alcoa or Landsvirkjun...

...After discovering my personality/behavioral blend as depicted in Uniquely You DISC Personality Profile developed by Mels Carbonell in 1987, I finally understand what makes me who I am and how I might use these behavioral style blends as a way to frame my interactions with others both personally, spiritually, and professionally. According to Carbonell (2014) as an “S” type I do exhibit and am known for having a “humble spirit and quiet demeanor” (p. 7). Unfortunately, as a former victim of childhood abuse (different forms) and abandonment I sometimes “feel inadequate and unworthy” (Carbonell, p. 7) and I have been labeled as damaged by some experts in the field of psychology and other professions. Today because of all that God has done for me...

...PERSONALITY PROFILES FOR DOGS Dog owners know that dogs’ variances are numerous. There are hundreds of different breeds and types of dogs, each breed with its own distinct personality traits and behaviors. These distinctive behaviors can be broken down into six separate categories based on the dog’s breed and instinctive qualities. These six categories are aggressive, confident, outgoing, adaptable, insecure and independent. These categories can be broken down individually, listing main characteristics for each division that will separate and individualize each category and can lend valuable information to potential dog owners when choosing a pet. The first division is the aggressive dog. This dog has an extremely dominant personality. He or she can be easily provoked to bite. The dominant nature of this dog can make him or her extremely resistant to human leadership or dominance. This type of dog will need persistent and rigorous training. This dog type will need a human to provide precise guidance and instruction. This type of dog does best with a one owner household or dominant alpha figure. They make excellent guard dogs or police dogs. Such examples of this being the German Shepard, Chow Chow and Doberman Pincher to name a few of the top nine most aggressive dog breeds. The next division would be the confident dog. This dog can be dominant and self-assured. This category can also be provoked to bite, but perhaps not as easily as the aggressive division...

...Galura The aim of this study is to describe and identify the most common types of coping strategy used by wives who were affected by the infidelity of their partner. It also sought to provide demographic profiles of these wives. The researchers’ motivation of choosing this topic had been influenced by the everyday situation of people they knew who had experienced being separated to their husbands due to infidelity. Also, the media had contributed to their choice because nowadays, infidelity has been featured to many movies, television shows and social media sites. In this study, the researchers have employed a descriptive design. The participants involved in this research were 40 wives, age ranging from 25 to 65 years old and coming from different cities and towns of Pampanga, who have experienced infidelity of their husbands. Their sample was gathered through snowball sampling. For their theoretical framework, the researchers used the Lazarus model of stress and model of behavioral self-regulation. To quantify it, they used the Coping Orientation to Problem Experienced (COPE) inventory of Carver, Scheier, and Weintraub (1989). With the help of a professor, they have translated the inventory for their Filipino participants. They have also developed a demographic profile checklist. There were five variables in the checklist which were age, socio economic status, educational attainment, religion and occupation. The results showed that majority of the wives used turning to...

...Alyssa Miller MKTG 320 SWOT Analysis Las Vegas The LVCVA has a strength with predicting trends and for the most part has been on top of changing their marketing techniques to suit those trends. Las Vegas is one of the most famous cities in the world and it is known for a great and crazy time. Las Vegas also has an enormous customer base. Las Vegas’s image is weak in the fact that it only appeals to some customers. The smaller audience it attracts and that there are almost no options for any other age group besides 21-50 year olds also weakens it. Las Vegas has an opportunity to expand and make it’s business and experience even bigger because almost no one is competing with them. There is also an opportunity to improve hotels, casinos, resorts, and other main attraction buildings with all the new technology that comes out every year. Las Vegas has an opportunity to expand their customer base and try to reach different and new demographics. The business also has an opportunity to try and make its large industry greener. They could find ways to save electricity and water at hotels and casinos and be sure that all public bathrooms in the city have automatic air hand dryers. A threat in Las Vegas’s microenvironment is that since they virtually have no competitors, it could eventually become a boring trend or a place that everyone’s already been to. On the other hand, places like Dubai are becoming trendy with new modern infrastructure and many opportunities to attract...

Ever since we have been connected to the digital highway through internet access, computers have been vulnerable to malicious intrusion by programs that were designed with intent to do harm.

...Growth Stocks vs. Value Stocks Thomas Anderton MBA 570 Professor Scott Growth stocks generally come from companies of high quality and who are considered successful. Investors expect the earnings of these companies to keep growing above the market average. If an investor were to analyze the companies with growth stock they would notice that these stocks have high price to earnings ratios and high price to book ratios. The price to earnings ratio shows the market price per share divided by the earnings. In order to have a high ratio generally the market price per share is high. Value stocks are the exact opposite of growth stock in terms of their price per earnings ratio and their price to book ratio, which means they generally have low ratios. These companies are generally expected by investors to increase in value when the rest of the market recognizes their potential. According to Bryan Rich of Forbes, “Value stocks are stocks with the lowest P/E, price to book, price to sales and price to cash flow. Other twists on value investing are simply looking at the lowest priced stocks in a major index or stocks with the highest dividend yield in a major index” (Rich, 2016). To some investors, growth stocks may seem to be expensive and at times overhauled, which could cause them to invest in value stocks. Investors may chase value stock because they don’t have as much money to invest as other investors who choose growth stocks. Some investors may choose to invest in growth...

...Gmo: the Value Versus Growth Dilemma GMO: The Value Versus Growth Dilemma | 1. What is value investing? What is its rationale? What are GMO’s main arguments in favor of value investing? Value investing is a way of investing in company stocks that are considered either undervalued or out-of-favor by the market. In other word, a value investment is one where the intrinsic value of the stock is not accurately reflected in the current market valuation. The underlying reason of too much decreasing in the stock price is that the company may be losing market shares or even in trouble due to market’s panic attributed to negative rumors as well as having management problems. Since the market price has dramatically descended, the book to market ratio of that stock will conversely increase. Consequently, this fraction is an important indicator that value investors will look at in order to justify if a particular stock is value stock or not. The rationale for investing in such value stock is that after the forces that are depressing the stock have diminished, the market price of value stock can only go upward from the bottom position to realize the stock’s hidden potential value at some point in the future. Notably, the key assumption is that once the market finally acknowledges the inefficiency that the price is too low when compared to the expected future returns, it will bump up the price and the value investors will directly benefit from the capital gain on those value stocks.
