Personality and Teams

 

 

 

 

Identify another trait from the Big Five for your selected profession and describe how scoring low, high, or mixed on that trait might influence how that professional conducts their work or interacts with others.
For example, it may be important for a lawyer to score average to low on agreeableness. They need to be able to present an opposing view and fight for their clients, but they also must be able to cooperate and work with others within the court system.
Explain whether you think it is better to have a diversity of traits within the same profession or among professionals with the same role or whether it is better for the professionals to exhibit the same traits. Justify your response.
For example, some lawyers are extroverted and some are introverted. Regardless of how they fall on this trait dimension, they can likely perform their job well. Also, some lawyers are less agreeable than others. Depending on the case, having a choice in the type of lawyer selected can be helpful to meet client needs.
