HRMT 300 Assignment 1 - Personality Dimensions

Due: Week 3 (7.5% of final grade) Submit via Dropbox

The purpose of this individual assignment is to learn about personality tests and to learn about
yourself using personality tests. Complete each test based on your preferred state of being, not how a
situation forced you to behave (i.e. in a way that you would not normally behave). I do not want to read
that your response depends on the circumstances. Answer the questions truthfully to indicate who you
are, rather than who you want to be or think you should be. There are no good or bad answers and often
your first instinct is your true response.
Obviously this is individual work and should be completed on your own. It should also be
obvious that copying someone else's work is a violation of academic integrity and will be graded
accordingly.
I do not need a copy of all test answers - just the results.
