Personality + Cultural Influences Presentation General Guidelines This assignment will require a little research on your part. One of the most important aspects of organizational behavior is understanding people – this starts with oneself. The purpose of this assignment is to help you gain a better understanding of who you are (lead, communicate, sense-making, perspective, etc.). Additionally, this assignment will help raise self-awareness and awareness of others’ preferences. Finally, this assignment situates you in the global context and your interactions in intercultural interactions and multicultural settings. Cultural preferences are learned through our interactions and experiences. What preferences “look like” in action, therefore, reflects the culture’s values, beliefs, and expectations. Together, the 2 required instruments highlight your personality-encouraged preferences and your preferences in action. Together they provide valuable insight to you and others in interactions, on teams, in organizations, and the communities in which you operate. This assignment requires the use of 2 instruments: 1. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator MBTI Personality Type Test (UHD SP25).pdf The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the most well-known personality type instruments used globally. The MBTI is based on research by distinguished psychologist Carl Jung, and is designed to identify a person’s personality type, strengths, and preferences via self-report. In other words, the MBTI results reveal insights about YOU as an individual, from your point of view. 2. The Culture Map Personal Profile The Culture Map Personal Profile (CMPP), based on the well-established research of Hall, Hofstede, and other cultural anthropologists and interculturalists, builds upon the MBTI. Like a snapshot, the MBTI reveals personality-related data. The CMPP, via self-report, reveals the behavioral manifestations that reflect a person’s values and preferences/. In other words, CMPP focuses on preferences in action – in particular, 8 preferences relevant to organizational behavior (communicating, decision making, delivering negative feedback, persuading, dealing with conflict, etc.). Which came first, the personality or the culture? It’s chicken and egg; one influences the other, but it’s difficult to say which came first. The important part is to be aware of influences that make us each who we are – not better or worse, just different. This understanding contributes to your management and leadership capacities as well as your ability to lead and leverage organizational behavior.
