Exercise:  Measuring Personality for Use in Career Development
Psychology of Adolescence (PSYC 322)
Using a personality test to help someone make decisions about his or her career is a well-established process. The basic idea is that your personality type fits best with some careers and not so good with other careers.  Therefore, recommendations can be made as to which careers you are best suited.  Many people dispute this and say that personality tests cannot tell you anything about which career you should pursue. They liken it to a horoscope; the information applies to everyone.  Imagine that your friend has said that personality tests are a bunch of crap.   I want you to gather personal evidence to support or disconfirm this statement.  You will take a personality test which has been used in career advising, and then determine whether or not you think this is a valid and useful process.  The test you will be taking is an online version similar to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).  This is very much so an informal version of the Myers-Briggs.  Please do not consider this version to be psychometrically sound, and thus results from it sound be interpreted with caution.
After you have taken the test, write a persuasive essay in which you convince your friend and/or other readers who are not familiar with the use of personality testing in career decision-making, that this is a valid process or not such a valid process.   
Step 1:  Take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.  To take the test, follow these steps:
1)  Go to the following website:
            www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/Jtypes1.htm
2)  Take the test by clicking on “Do It”
3)  Answer the questions; when finished, click on “Score it”
4)         From here you will find out your personality type and a brief description of the type.  You will also get four categories of information.  You want the categories under “You.”  Read the categories in the “You” section.
Step 2: Write a persuasive essay in which you answer the following questions.  It would be a good idea to take some time to think about the answers to these questions before you begin to write.
1)      Open your paper with a discussion of the reason you are writing your paper.  What is the purpose of the paper?  What position are you taking on the use of personality tests to help someone choose a career field? Make sure you focus on using personality tests to select a career and not using personality test for hiring decisions.
2)      Provide some background information about the use of personality tests in career decision-making. This information should be about using personality tests in career selection.  How does it work?  What is theory behind this idea?  Don’t focus on describing the MBTI or using personality tests for hiring decisions.  This information must be cited.
3)  Describe your personality based on the type you received from the Myers-Briggs. Describe both the individual letters and the entire type.  For example, if you are an ENFJ. Describe what E/extraversion means, N/intuitive, F/feeling, and J/judging AND then describe the ENFJ type.  The descriptions of the individual letters can be found at the website: http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/my-mbti-results/ or other such websites.  The description of the entire type (ENFJ) can be found on the testing website.  These descriptions should be written in your own words. You may have no more than 3 direct quotes/sentences.  These descriptions should be your understanding of the type and NOT a word-for-word description from the website. 
3)   Provide at least 2 examples each of how your type has been evident in your behavior/actions. In answering this question you need to be sure to list specific (concrete) behaviors or actions.  Do not just list personality characteristics similar to those listed by the test, and say, “This is me.”  For example, don’t say “I’m prone to procrastinate.” Say something like this, “I’m prone to procrastinate.  An example of this is…..”  Your information should not pertain to career choice because this is addressed below.  You need a total of 2 examples; not 2 examples per personality trait.
4)   Provide at least 2 examples of how your type has not been evident in your behaviors/actions.  In answering this question you need to be sure to list specific (concrete) behaviors or actions.  Do not just list personality characteristics similar to those listed by the test, and say, “This isn’t me.”  For example, don’t say “I’m not prone to procrastinate.” Say something like this, “I’m not prone to procrastinate.  An example of this is…..”  Your information should not pertain to career choice because this is addressed below.  You need a total of 2 examples; not 2 examples per personality trait.  Even if the test described you perfectly, you still need to answer this question.
5)   Explain how information regarding your personality type (as indicated by the letters) might relate to your career choice.  In answering this question, you will need to indicate your career choice, the personality characteristics that you think are necessary for this career choice, and whether or not the Myers-Briggs indicates that you have these personality characteristics. You may also want to consider including information on whether or not your MBTI results indicates that you would be well suited for this profession.  You can find websites that list specific professions for each personality type.
6)   What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this method?  You must address at least one of each. However, a well-written paper will point out more advantages if you support the use of personality tests and more disadvantages if you do not support the use of personality tests in career decision-making.
7)   Based on your experience using tests similar to the Myers-Briggs and all of the information discussed above, what do you think about the idea of using personality tests to help young adults pick a career?  Bottom line, if you were a career counselor, would you recommend the use of the Myers-Briggs in career advising?  In supporting this opinion, summarize the major points of your paper that are consistent with this view.
** You must cite the website(s) used for this exercise.  It is considered plagiarism to use information from this or other websites without appropriately documenting this information.  This is the case even if you paraphrased from this website.  There is a “help” document located in the Assignments link on Blackboard.
Note:  “Persuasive writing, also known as the argument essay, utilizes logic and reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action. The argument must always use sound reasoning and solid evidence by stating facts, giving logical reasons, using examples, and quoting experts.” Passage taken from:  http://essayinfo.com/essays/persuasive_essay.php#.UC45Xd2PUpU  You may find additional information about writing persuasive essays at this site.

Issue Analysis and Leadership Action Plan
Prepare an issue analysis of an incident that occurred in a health care organization and create a leadership action plan (8-10 pages) that will help to address the specific incident but will also help to drive safety and quality improvements throughout the organization.
In this third assessment in the course, you will assume the role of a newly promoted quality manager at your local hospital. This role requires you to address deficiencies by improving organizational culture, providing leadership oversight, and cultivating staff relationships within the organization. While you have many priorities in this new role, one of your first is to analyze a recent incident that occurred within the organization and to create a leadership action plan with recommended strategies and tactics to address not just the specific incident, but to drive safety and quality improvement throughout the organization.
This assessment differs from the first assessment in that with this assessment, as the quality manager, your focus is broader. Rather than focusing only on identifying specific actions the organization can take to remedy a particular incident that occurred, you are concentrating on what steps you will take as the quality manager to influence the organization’s leadership to cultivate a fair and just culture. You will determine what departments, what leaders, and what personnel you will collaborate with to improve quality for the whole organization. In this type of culture, safety is at the forefront of everyone’s job and all associates welcome the opportunity to highlight issues—without fear of reprisal—so that they can be addressed at a systemic level throughout the organization. 
You may find it useful to review the short document CQI Importance and Features [PDF] as you gather your thoughts about the key elements you want to include in your assessment, Issue Analysis and Leadership Action Plan.  Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:  Competency 4: Apply leadership strategies to quality improvement in a health care organization. Apply the IHI Triple Aim to develop a health care leadership strategy that focuses on optimizing health care system performance. Propose evidence-based leadership strategies that will help to establish a safety and quality culture. Propose evidence-based leadership and collaboration strategies to enlist the aid of key organizational leaders in establishing a safety and quality culture. Determine opportunities to enlist the governing board’s aid in fostering a fair and just culture.   Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with health care professionals. Write a clear, organized, persuasive, and generally error-free issue analysis and leadership action plan that promotes a culture of safety and quality and is reflective of professional communication in the health care field.  Provide citations and title and reference pages that conform to APA style and format. Preparation
To help prepare for successfully completing this assessment: Select one of the three incidents from the Vila Health: Patient Safety simulation you completed in Assessment 1. These are common incidents you are likely to encounter in the health care field. These included a patient HIPAA/privacy violation.  Consider these analysis questions once you have selected the incident on which you will focus: What information do you possess about the issue? (Note: You may not be able to answer all of these questions; just include the information you know.) Consider: Who was involved? During what process (clinical, communication, operational) did the issue occur? When did the issue occur? During a particular shift? On a particular day? During peak hours? Under certain clinical circumstances?     Where did the issue occur? What additional data about the incident would you like to collect and analyze? Which best practices may not have been adhered to that may have contributed to the issue? (Note: This information will prove useful to you as you complete your analysis and leadership action plan.) Instructions
Write an analysis and leadership action plan for the issue you selected that will enable you to address the issue on an organization-wide basis. Please make sure to include all of the following headings and answer all of the questions underneath each heading. Issue Summary How would you summarize the key elements of the incident that occurred? What is your goal in addressing the issue? Which two to three key items will be your focus? For example, you may elect to focus on nursing staffing levels if being short staffed in nursing is contributing to compromises to patient safety. IHI Triple Aim What is the IHI Triple AIM?  How does the IHI Triple Aim apply to this specific incident? What IHI Triple Aim elements will you incorporate into your organizational improvement strategy?  Culture What is culture? Why is culture a critical organizational priority for safety and quality? Based on the knowledge you have about the selected issue, what do you know about the existing organizational culture? What are some of the evidence-based strategies you are considering you could employ to cultivate a culture of safety?   Collaboration Which key departments need to be directly involved with the corrective action process? What is your rationale for selecting these departments? For example, you may want to involve nursing because many of errors involve nurses and obtaining their buy-in is critical to achieving the organizational priority. Which specific senior leader, front line staff member, and clinical expert will you include in your action plan and hold accountable for implementation?  What are the implications of not engaging with all departments toward making safety and quality top of mind?  How might you involve other departments in addressing the specific issue and the cultural issue?  Leadership Which specific leaders within the organization could assist you in addressing this issue and in making patient safety and quality top of mind throughout the organization? Examples for you to consider include the chief nursing officer, the chief medical officer, the patient safety officer, et cetera. What role do you expect these leaders to play in addressing the specific issue and the issue of culture? What best practices would you employ to enlist their aid in the improvement effort?  What role does the organization’s governing board have in terms of quality and safety in the organization?  How could you enlist the governing board’s aid in your improvement initiative?  What additional information could you provide them to increase their involvement in the organization’s safety and quality improvement efforts? Leadership Action Plan What are three evidence-based actions you recommend that would help to solve the incident that arose? What are three evidence-based best practices you recommend to address the issue on an organizational level? Conclusion How will you summarize your analysis of the incident and your leadership action plan?
Remember that health care is an evidence-based field. You will need to cite a minimum of two credible references to support your analysis and action planning process.
In addition, in the health care field, your analysis and action plan would not typically be written in APA format. Do ensure that it is clear, persuasive, concise, organized, and without errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Do provide citations and title and reference pages in APA format. Other leaders in your organization are going to want to know what sources you relied on to prepare your analysis and action plan. Additional Requirements Length: Your incident analysis and leadership action plan will be 8–10 double-spaced pages, not including title and reference pages. Font: Times New Roman, 12-point. APA Format: Your citations and title and reference pages need to be in APA format. The body of your analysis does not need to be written in APA format. It does need to be well written, include the headings specified in the instructions, and address the questions listed under each heading. Scoring Guide: Please review this assessment’s scoring guide to ensure you understand how your faculty member will evaluate your work.
