Concept and Brief Description:
Personality Inventories: Sometimes it is important for employers to know about candidates' personalities. For some jobs, such as the one I hold right now at Telos Residential Treatment Center, it is important that candidates 'fit' the position. There are ways to test potential employees, like giving them any of the commercial personality tests that are out there. As the book describes, there are the "Big Five" traits that are looked at: extroversion, adjustment, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and inquisitiveness.
The Hook:
There is a co-worker I have that is very uncomfortable with making the boys at Telos uncomfortable. This is a problem, since we are supposed to hold boundaries and help them in their treatment issues.
Key Points to Elicit in Discussion:
Personality Inventories can be a way for a company to assess candidates' personality traits. This is important when a company is looking for a certain type of person. Some jobs require various personality traits, however the most important trait to have according to research, is conscientiousness.
Facilitative Questions:
How does the 'fit' of employees in the workplace play a role in your company?
