1.Introduction

In this portfolio, I have reflected on my experiences in BSB124. Specifically I have analysed my interpersonal and intrapersonal effectiveness. I have also determined my strengths and weaknesses as well as specified how I can overcome my weaknesses. I have analysed and determined my emotional intelligence and the strategies through which I can develop my emotional intelligence even further. I have chosen to focus on my emotional intelligence (intrapersonal effectiveness), my team roles according to Belbin (1981) (interpersonal effectiveness) and networking ability in this portfolio. My roles which I have determined through Belbin have provided me with the specific role I have on my team. It has provided me with my major characteristics and my weakness as well so that I can overcome them all the while enhancing my positive traits.

2.1The Big Five Inventory (BFI)

The so-called “big-five” is a moniker for the repeated result of five common factors (or, more accurately, principal components) of lexically defined dimensions of personality. The model seemingly originated in the 1950s as part of U.S. Air Force personnel assessments done by Ernest Tupes and Raymond Cristal (1961). They noted several recurrent personality factors, but the specifics of their research were muddled within the only report documenting their findings. Digman (1990) pushed his five factor model of personality (a supposed extension of Tupes' and Cristal's work), which Goldberg later suggested represented the highest level of personality organization (Goldberg, 1993). These five factors were considered by many to be representative of most known personality traits, and their introduction provided much needed order and stability to an area that was riddled with a confusing amalgam of smaller personality concepts.

While Goldberg and others were demonstrating the value of these five overarching factors, John, Donahue, and Kentle (1991) created a measure called the Big Five Inventory (BFI) to address the need for a shorter personality instrument that could measure the big five personality factors of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience. Measures then and now are quite lengthy (e.g. Costa and McCrae's 240-item NEO PI-R, 1992). John et al. recognized that not all information in the items added to description accuracy, and based item creation on a set of definitions developed from expert ratings - the hope was to remove the need to measure individual facets and instead capture those properties in the overarching big five factor. However, each scale (personality variable) contains items that related to the majority of the facets identified by Costa and Mcrae, thereby roughly covering the full range of each variable (John & Srivastava, 1999).

According to DiSC, I am the most “i” individual in the category. The dot is right on the advantage of the group, and based in the “i” area rather than looking after considerably toward either D or S, which creates “i” very major than “D” or “S” or “C”. Actually, I do not even have another ...
