Basic Characteristics of People Definitions and sources Ways of looking at personality MBTI Big 5 Locus of control Machiavellianism Self-esteem and self-efficacy Risk taking

Definitions Personality: “The sum total of ways in which an individual reacts and interacts with others” Afffect: “A broad range of feelings that people experience” Emotion: “Intense feelings that are directed at someone or something” Moods: “Feelings that tend to be less intense than emotions” Felt vs. Displayed Relatively Stable

Personality: Where From? Heredity Environment Situation Interaction of all 3 Factors

From Personality to Behavior HeredityEnvironmentSituationPersonality Behavior

What is the MBTI ? A personality inventory that assesses normal psychological functioning A tool to help people in organizations: The MBTI measures 4 scales:

Basic Principles Individuals possess unique and different styles for the way they are energized, prefer to perceive their environments, make decisions, and how they live their lives These different styles can be categorized into 16 basic styles or psychological types Each type represents a set of strengths and weaknesses (situationally defined) Each type needs its opposite

Extraversion and Introversion

Extroverts in General Are interested in the world of other people and events Like to influence others and are easily influenced Are joiners — enjoy lots of activity and noise — go along with the crowd Are concerned about the image they project to others — others' judgments are important.

Extroverts at Work Like variety and action — they are impatient with long, slow jobs Act quickly, sometimes without thinking Find phone calls a welcome distraction Develop ideas by discussion.

Extroverts and Communications Prefer face-to-face communications Seek opportunities to communicate in groups Communicate energy and enthusiasm — quickly, without long pauses to think Focus of talk is on people and things in the external environment In meetings, like talking before moving to conclusions.

Extroverts - Recap Do — think — do Blurt it out External Involved with people and things Outside thrust Interaction and action

Introverts in General Are interested in what is happening inside their head — understanding their inner world of thoughts, ideas, and reflections Often feel lost and lonely in large crowds Don't trust others and are inhibited around most people Are not easily influenced by other people.

Introverts at Work Like to work alone, to work with ideas, and will work well on one project for long periods of time Don't like to be interrupted when working and when working, find phone calls intrusive Like quiet so they can concentrate Like to think before acting; sometimes,don't act Develop ideas by reflection.

Introverts and Communications Prefer written over face-to-face communication Keep energy and enthusiasm inside — hard to read Think before responding and need to be drawn out Seek opportunities to communicate one-on- one In meetings, verbalize well thought out ideas.

Introverts - Recap Think - do - think Internal Keep it in Depth Work with ideas and thoughts Concentration, reflection

Sensing and INtuition

Sensing in General Take in information by using their five senses Are mostly concerned with the present Are interested in practical matters Don't trust hunches.

Sensing at Work Seldom make errors of fact Work steadily Like things to be orderly, precise and clear Like using experience, developed skills, and standard ways to solve problems May distrust and ignore their inspirations Like to present details of their work first Prefer continuation of "what is", with fine tuning.

Sensing and Communications Like evidence, facts, details presented first Want to see practical realistic applications Use orderly, step-by-step approach in presentations In meetings, follow the agenda.

Sensing - Recap The five senses Practical Present-oriented Fact, detail oriented Uses established skills Utility, step-by-step

Intuitives in General Take in information through a "sixth sense" Are interested in the possibilities, in what "might be" Are always looking ahead to the next idea Often come up with hunches "out of the blue" and easily follow their hunches — good or bad.

Intuitives at Work Like solving new and complex problems Like to do things with an innovative bent Often make errors of fact and are impatient with details Prefer change — sometimes radical — to continuation of "what is" Enjoy learning a new skill more than using it.

Intuitives and Communications Global schemes, with broad issues presented first Want possible future challenges discussed first Rely on insights and imagination to provoke discussion Like suggestions to be novel and unusual Bypass agenda in meetings Refer to general concepts.

Intuitives - Recap “Sixth sense” What “could be” Theoretical Novelty Insights Leap around

Thinking and Feeling

Thinking in General Make decisions in a logical, fact-driven way Often hurt people's feelings without knowing it Organize and structure information to help in decisions.

Thinking At Work Find it easy to be firm-minded and give necessary criticism Can work in situations where people do not get along well Like logical analysis to reach conclusions Decide impersonally, without sufficient attention to people's wishes Look at principles involved in a situation.

Thinking and Communications Like to be brief and concise when they talk to others Are persuaded by cool, impersonal reasoning Wants pros and cons of each alternative to be listed Can be intellectually critical and objective Present goals and objectives first In a meeting, seek involvement with tasks.

Thinking - Recap Head, not heart Logical Objective Justice Critique Reason Principles Firm, but fair

Feeling in General Make decisions in a personal, value- driven way Heart over head Concern for others.

Feeling at Work Work best in situations where people get along well Avoid telling people unpleasant things Enjoy pleasing people, even in unimportant things Let decisions be influenced by own and others' likes and dislikes Look at underlying values in a situation.

Feeling and Communication Are sympathetic Like to be sociable and friendly when they talk to others Are persuaded by enthusiasm and personal information Present points of agreement first In meetings, seek involvement with people Can be interpersonally appreciative.

Feeling - Recap Heart, not head Values oriented Subjective Mercy Compliment Empathy Harmony Compassionate

Judging and Perceptive

Judging in General Like to have a planned and organized life Like to plan their work and work the plan Like to get things settled and finished Make decisions quickly

Judging at Work Set tight deadlines Don't like surprises; like planned activities Seek structure and schedules Tend to be satisfied once they reach a decision on a thing, situation, or person May not notice new things that need to be done Sometimes resistant to change

Judging and Communications State priorities and decisions clearly Talk of purpose and direction, schedules and timetables In meetings, focus on task at hand Want advance warning

Judging - Recap Planful Regulated Control Settled Run one's life Set goals Decisive Organized

Perceptive in General Like to live a spontaneous and flexible life Feel closed-in by routines and schedules Adapt well to change.

Perceptive at Work Like to leave things hanging in case last minute changes are needed Often second guess their decisions Postpone making decisions and unpleasant tasks that need doing Enjoy flexibility in their work Tend to be curious and welcome new light on a thing, situation, or person Feel restricted without change.

Perceptive and Communications Will discuss schedules, but uncomfortable with tight deadlines Enjoy surprises and adapting to last minute change Expect others to adapt to situational requirements Communicate options and opportunities Talk of customizing and flexibility In meetings, focus on the process to be appreciated.

Perceptive - Recap Spontaneous Go with the flow Adapt Gather information Let life happen Flexible Tentative Open

Problem Solving Using Type Preferences Sensing and Intuition Thinking and Feeling

Problem Solving Model SENSING (facts) SENSING (facts) INTUITION (possibilities) INTUITION (possibilities) FEELING (impact on people) FEELING (impact on people) THINKING (consequences) THINKING (consequences)

Sensing and Intuition Sensing What are the facts? What exactly is the situation? What has been done? What am I and others doing? How would an outsider look at this situation? Intuition What are the possibilities? What other ways are there for solving this problem? What do the data imply? What are the implications beyond the facts? What is this problem analogous to?

Thinking and Feeling Thinking What are the pros and cons of each possibility? What are the logical consequences of each possibility? What is the cost of each? What are the pleasant and unpleasant outcomes of each? What is the consequence of not acting? Feeling How much do I care about what I gain or lose in each alternative? What are the values involved for each possibility? How will the people concerned react to the outcome? Who is committed to carry out the solution? Will the outcome contribute to individual or group harmony?

More Implications of Type Communications Time management Work style

Individual Differences - Big 5 Extroversion (ambition, sociability) Sociable, assertive, talkative, active Emotional stability Emotional, nervous, insecure, excitable Agreeableness Courteous, flexible, trusting, good-natured, cooperative Conscientiousness Responsible, organized, planful, persevering, willing to achieve Openness to Experience Imaginative, curious,original, broad minded

Locus of Control Internal: Belief that you control your own destiny External: Outside forces (luck, chance) control what happens Results? Externals less satisfied with jobs, less involved with work Internals tend to do better on jobs requiring initiative and independent action

Machiavellianism The degree to which an individual is pragmatic, maintains emotional distance, and believes that the ends justify the means Good or bad? Depends on the requirements of the situation

Machiavelli and His Words …the gulf between how one should live and how one does live is so wide that a man who neglects what is actually done for what should be done learns the way to self- destruction rather than self-preservation

Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy A person’s degree of linking for him or herself; positive self-image Levels of self-esteem Global self-esteem Situational self-esteem Organization-based self esteem (OBSE) Self-efficacy: the belief that one can perform a specific task

Risk What it involves How long it takes to make a decision How much information you gather before making a decision A basic personality variable: risk propensity Good or bad? Depends on the circumstances Moderate levels of risk propensity are associated with high need for achievement

Risk Taking Actual risk taking depends on Individual level of risk propensity Situation Different situations Most folks tend to avoid risks when looking at possible gains Conversely, people take more risks when looking at losses Escalating commitment, or throwing good money after bad

Other Related Personality Variables Sensing / Intuition (MBTI) Sensing = look at facts Intuition = look at possibilities Openness to Experience (Big 5) Imaginative, curious,original, broad minded Locus of Control Internal: Belief that you control your own destiny External: Outside forces (luck, chance) control what happens Self-Efficacy Self-efficacy: the belief that one can perform a specific task

Collective Emotion: The Madness of Crowds Collective behavior: Shared beliefs Shared emotions Shared motivations Mass hysteria, “madness of crowds” A baseless belief that spreads rapidly and widely, then dies down just as quickly Often accompanied by irrational behavior Examples Salem witchcraft trials Dutch tulip frenzy dot com
