Activity #2

1. Using your favorite search engine, search on the term “Free MBTI” and take one of the “light” versions of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.  If you have taken the MBTI and know your results you may use those.  Then search for “Free Big Five” and do the same for the Big Five model. Write a short paper providing your thoughts on the results of these two personality tests.

2. Using your favorite search engine, search on the term “emotions in the workplace” and find five webpages related to this chapter. Read the webpages and write up a two-page analysis of what you learned regarding the proper expression of emotions and moods in the workplace. Ensure you note if the webpages were in conflict with the guidance given in the textbook or agreed with it.  Exceptional students will seek out cultural differences as well.
