This journal analysis will cover my personal results for the big five personality traits test

in chapter one of our virtual textbook (Soomo Learning, 2026). The results of my assessment are

as follows in image one.

I think that a score of high openness will benefit me as a leader. Being open to new

opportunities or methods is a key attribute to being a good leader. This represents a passion for

learning and teaching, being motivating, and caring deeply about the impact and importance of

consistently positive results. I do think that there can be consequential downsides, such as being

too trusting of others. That is an observation I will continue to keep in mind as an aspiring leader.

Additionally, I scored moderately high on conscientiousness. This is a term that I am very

familiar with as it is a way that I have always described my work ethic. I always carry the quality
of wanting to complete work as thoroughly and accurately as possible. This includes diligence

and strict attention to details are rules. This is a quality that I often look for in friends and

colleagues because, to me, it says a lot about a person. An aspect of the results that I appreciate is

how it highlights that although I hold high standards, I understand that absolute perfection cannot

be always expected. This is another value that I have learned to hold that I think is a good value

to have as a leader. There is a considerable impact when motivating colleagues to achieve high

levels of performance that should also come with the ability to sympathize and be considerate to

variance in performance.

I think that being aware of the impact of leadership is important because it helps

organizations identify the qualities and behaviors that drive positive outcomes. We know this

because leadership shapes the direction, culture and effectiveness within organizations. As a

leader, it is essential to set clear visions and motivate teams which will influence employee

engagement and productivity. Being able to adapt to change while holding these ideals provides

organizations the opportunity to invest in the development of leadership to promote long-term

growth. Understanding your personality is very important to being a leader for me so that I can

adapt and grow to goals and the people I want to support in the workplace.
