One area of controversy is how well you can accurately assess the personalities of employees or potential employees. One popular way is through various assessment tools, such as questionnaires.

For your first post, address the following items:

Identify a personality test that you have not taken yet in this course. (You can use the link provided in your textbook, http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/, to take a personality test.)

Take the test and then compare your findings with the PsychCentral form of an MBTI test taken in the Module 1 Case Assignment.

What characteristics are measured in each of the two tests you took in Module 1?

Next, identify a third personality characteristics test and discuss the differences in its areas of measurement with the new test you took for this discussion assignment.

Also, provide the link to the test from the text or the one you found in case any of your classmates want to use it.

For your second and third posts, compare your results with those of your classmates, and try to find a classmate with opposite traits from yours as well as one with very similar traits.

Additional Key Elements of the Assignment: Your Initial Post should occur in a timely manner (by the third day of the module for full timeliness points). Include the original questions along with your initial, informative post. Support your post with information from at least one high-quality peer-reviewed academic reference and provide the complete source information (so that your peers can find the article if they wish). A high-quality reference is found in the Trident Online Library in academically peer-reviewed journals and text books. Utilize your own personal experiences, as applicable.

Note: A URL (website address) is NOT a reference. A reference always contains four parts: author, publication date, article title, and the source of the article. Sometimes there is no author, but the APA manual tells you what you can put in that spot instead. The source for a high-quality peer-reviewed journal article is the journal.

Your Subsequent Posts: Read through responses by peers and post responses to at least two classmates posts. Introduce ideas/comments and/or research not mentioned yet.

Remember: To receive full credit in this forum, you need to post a minimum of three quality posts (your own initial post, and responses to two classmates). Only one outside source is needed (in the initial post). But in any post, if you borrow ideas/information from other authors, give them credit for their work.

Now that you have completed the three assignments in this module, do you agree with the statement, “Yes, I can meet the three Module 1 learning outcomes”?

Based on Lynda.com and this week’s readings, what are some valuable strategies in establishing/maintaining influential work relationships?

First, watch this video which adds images of recent events to Gil Scott-Heron’s famous 1970 poem/anthem.

https://youtu.be/hCAFnDYiYo0

Then, consider the ideas in this week’s textbook reader to analyze the video’s argument, “pointing out the claims . . . (it) . . . makes (or implies) and then by identifying the ways it supports them verbally and/or visually” (Lunsford & Ruszkiewicz 349).

Your task here is to interpret the argument you think this video is making, NOT to give your opinion on the events depicted. Try to be objective.

Read “The Power of Visual Arguments” in the textbook Everything’s an Argument, beginning on page 347. Apply the ideas of verbal vs visual arguments to this video.

Last, read through your classmates’ responses. Look for one that offers a different analysis of the same visual and/or verbal elements. Do you find different arguments in the video? How could you combine your reading with that of a classmate?

required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

Textbook: Chapters 9, 10(the elements of moral philosophy)

Introduction
Kant’s famous First Formulation of the Categorical Imperative reads, “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” Kant taught morality as a matter of following maxims of living that reflect absolute laws. “Universal” is a term that allows for no exceptions, and what is universal applies always and everywhere. Don’t forget about the second formulation of the categorical imperative which states, “Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means.” It is just as important.

Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, address one of the following sets of questions:

What are the personal and/or communal ethical factors that may be involved in determining the moral position of either side given a contemporary debate, such as those concerning animal rights, stem cell research, abortion, the death penalty, and so forth?
Elaborate in detail the ethical positions arrived at by using the Kantian categorical imperative relative to the long standing debate surrounding the death penalty or abortion. Argue the ethics from the point of view of the prisoner or from the fetus
Evaluate the ethical positions in part two. You will want to detail whether they are convincing, logical, correct, consistent, etc.
