This question has two parts; be sure to answer both. First, identify and define the Big Five personality dimensions. Second, assume that you are a recruiter for a local company interviewing at your school. Describe how you might assess the extent to which an applicant has each of the Big Five dimensions. The Big Five personality dimensions are:
What will be an ideal response?
Extroversion: how outgoing, talkative, sociable, and assertive a person is.
Agreeableness: how trusting, good-natured, cooperative, and soft-hearted a person is.
Conscientiousness: how responsible, dependable, achievement-oriented, and persistent a person is.
Emotional stability: how relaxed, secure, and unworried one is.
Openness to experience: how intellectual, imaginative, curious, and broad-minded one is.
Dimensions in the Big Five have been associated with performance, leadership behavior, turnover, creativity, and workplace safety.
For the second part of the question, students should then explain how they think a recruiter can uncover the Big Five dimensions in job applicants—how would they assess that an applicant is extroverted? or open to experience?
