Assignment direction

Once you have completed your Self-Assessment: What Motivates You in MindTap you will receive an interpretation of your results. You will then write your response to the following prompts:

1. Write a summary of your results (do not copy and paste the interpretation; use your own words to convey what your results mean). Discuss what you believe the results mean about your ability to function in the workplace.

2. Find an article that explains and/or develops the scale used in your Self-Assessment assignment, or one similar to it. Write a summary that gives a brief overview of the article and then discusses 5 specific issues regarding the scale/assessment used: how many questions, how many sub-factors, what its reliability/validity is, how it is scored, etc.

3. Write a response to the following applied question(s):

Think of a coworker, family member, classmate, or friend whom you perceive to be both a Type A individual and successful in his or her professional aspirations. Interview that person via phone or email, or face-to-face. Start by asking the individual why he/she believes he/she has been successful in his/her career. The answers will probably include both traits and behaviors. Then ask about his or her greatest strengths and weaknesses. Write an essay starting with a very brief description of the individual and his/her position, followed by how, or if, the person’s answers are relevant to Type A competencies. Provide specific examples. Were the answers consistent with your original opinion of the person’s Type A personality—did your perception match his/her responses to you? Why or why not?
