Guidelines for Assignment
In this activity, you will focus on a reflection on yourself, on your personality. In order to write
this paper, you are required to first take the given assessment test and then based on the scores
you get, you are required to reply to the questions regarding counterproductive work behaviors.
Another link labeled “Counterproductive Work Behaviors” provides an article you are to read
in order to reply to the questions regarding counterproductive work behaviors. I am also
providing you with the web-link (see below), where this assessment test can be accessed. LIST OF ASSESSMENT TEST IS AS FOLLOWS with WEB-Links:
I. Personality Self-Assessment Test Link:
Your reflection paper must not be less than 2 full pages nor more than 3 pages in length, 11- or 12-point Times New Roman, double spaced with 1 inch margins.
In this paper, you will reflect upon what you learned about yourself from the assessment. You must share your score/results, the description of the scores, and/or individual test
items in your reflections in your discussion.
You are also expected to tie in your own reflection regarding counterproductive work behaviors and personality traits (as specified in the article).
The assignment is due in two weeks. Please use the link provided in the assessment folder for submissions.
Late papers will be accepted with a daily reduction of 15 points. Assignments will be graded as Pass, Deficient, or Fail, based on the following grading
scheme.
Pass = Assignment fully completed, with terms and theories from the textbook used in your paper and highlighted in BOLD or CAPS, personal examples, on-time,
scores revealed, and all the conditions listed above are duly met. Full points (100).
Deficient = Any of the following missing: Misspellings, poor grammar, partial completion, insufficient critical reflection evident, No use of terms/theories, no-
personal examples and any violation of the above requirements. Half points (50).
Fail = Not enough effort to be considered deficient, not prepared according to
requirements (length, margins, type, format. No points (0).
Requirements:
You must include your score/results, the description of the scores, and/or individual test items in your reflections in your discussion. Do you agree with your scores?
Why or why not?
You MUST include a section on how you can use this self-assessment to analyze your own counterproductive work behavior probabilities based on your assessment.
For example, the article discusses the personality traits that have been cited in the
literature as individuals most likely to behave counterproductively or the opposite,
less likely to behave in a counterproductive manner.http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/

Based on the recommendations (in article and in textbook), what plan would you implement if after a personality test, employee(s) showed that they may have a
tendency to behave in this manner.
This is a practice, of course. Your results are based on one assessment and may not reflect your true identity. The activity does serve to help you learn more about how
personalities reflect individual organizational behaviors and how to modify
individual behaviors so that counterproductive work behaviors do not affect your
organization.
