1. Personality Traits that Affect How Managers Think, Feel and Behave
By: Juneza Barrera
Every individual has his own characteristic way of behaving, responding to emotions,
perceiving things and looking at the world. No two individuals are similar. Personality is
nothing but the aggregate conglomeration of memories and incidents in an individual’s
entire life span. Environmental factors, family background, financial conditions, genetic
factors, situations and circumstances also contribute to an individual’s personality. In a
layman’s language, how we behave in our day to day lives reflects our personality. How
an individual behaves depends on his family background, upbringing, and social status
and so on. Personality also influences what we think, our beliefs, values and
expectations. What we think about others depends on our personality. Personality is
defined as the personal qualities and characteristics of an individual. Personality is how
we interact with others. Personality is a sum of characteristics of an individual which
makes him different from the others. It is our personality which makes us unique and
helps us stand apart from the crowd.
According to World count, Agreeableness is one of the “super traits” in the Big Five
model of personality. People who score high on agreeableness are very trustworthy,
altruistic, honest, modest, empathetic, and cooperative which broadly categorizes
aspects of our personality. From the word “agree”, you get the impression that this trait
means you often agree with everyone and everything around you. That description is
pretty close, but there’s more to this super trait than that. In Psychology, agreeableness
measures your tendency to be kind, empathetic, trusting, cooperative, and sympathetic.
It shows you how well you harmonize with society. As the Wikipedia state,
Agreeableness is a personality trait manifesting itself in individual behavioral
characteristics that are perceived as kind, sympathetic, cooperative, warm and
considerate. Agreeableness is the way in order to have a smooth relationship to others.
In the moment we understand and agree with others opinion the sense of friendship
build suddenly but sometimes this is the cause to arise some misunderstanding
between each other.

2. Psychology says that Conscientiousness is not just about getting to church on time, in a
freshly ironed suit. It's a fundamental personality trait that influences whether people set
and keep long-range goals, deliberate over choices or behave impulsively, and takes
seriously obligations to others. Conscientiousness is a key ingredient for success, but
the off-the-charts conscientious may court perfectionism by setting sights too high.
Conscientiousness is about how a person controls, regulates, and directs their
impulses. Individuals with a high level of conscientiousness on a career test are good at
formulating long-range goals, organizing and planning routes to these goals, and
working consistently to achieve them. Despite short-term obstacles they may encounter.
Other people usually perceive a conscientious personality type as a responsible and
reliable person. As a person, being conscientiousness is very important aside from
being careful we must be vigilant not only in ourselves but also to our environment.
Extraversion (E). Carl Jung, the first to introduce extraversion, argued that a person's
libido, or sexual energy can flow in one of two different directions-either outward toward
the world or inward toward the self. For the extravert, the energy flows toward objects
and people in the world, the opposite is the introvert where their energy flows toward the
subjective world that lies within (McAdams 308). A person high in extraversion is high in
gregariousness, assertiveness, activity, seeks excitement, and has positive emotions
(McAdams 306). According to Stephanie Foley, Extraversion has become one of the
basic personality types on most major personality tests. An extravert is high on
socialibility, talkativeness, energy and assertiveness. Extraversion is the personality
traits that I need to develop as a human being. I’m lack of confident to show what I’ve
got as a student but as I learn personality traits especially extraversion it lightens my
mind to boost my confidence and don’t let anyone bring you down.
I conclude that personal traits are one factor affects our performance as an
individual.We must be personally prepared every results of our action. It is important to
enhance and to show who really we are.
