We were advised prior to the week 10 class to undertake an online personality test. My results are shown below.
Understanding different personality types can give people in a workplace a large advantage over those who don’t. Mainly it can avoid mis communication and mis interpretations by understanding how people think, and expect to be thought about. I feel like in a workplace it could be interpreted as slightly invasive to have people undertake this test and share the results with you. However having a basic understanding of these personality types can assist in making informed decisions about a person from the outset.
Braith McClure – (AAM)
Braith in my opinion was the most interesting speaker we had for the whole semester. Firstly his ability to address and capture the audience was amazing. Following that was his content. The projects AAM are undertaking such as the building in Sydney that will move under the weight of its own construction. Braith really highlighted the value in people who can think out of the box and problem solve.
Taylor Brennan – (Coles)
Taylor was an RMIT graduate who floated around a few different things before landing at Coles. Coles uses geospatial data in order to target sales and store opening locations to target desired demographics. Aside from this I feel that Taylor’s presentation got a bit off topic and wasn’t of a great deal of interest to me.
