What was your personality type?
Personality Packet
This activity has two parts. This first section requires you to take and compare two personality tests and answer some questions about them. First access the link named personality test 1 on the course website on this week’s lesson page and take that test. The link to this test is also found here:
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
Once you finish you need to read your results carefully and answer the following questions.
1. What was your personality type? Make sure to give the four letters here and the percentages for each.
Now read the full description of your type listed just below your score (and slightly to the left…it should say something like ENTP type description). Read all the way down through the functional analysis section of the description. Then google your type (for example, ENTP) and read the short descriptions offered at 16personalities.com and the personality page (which offers a portrait of your type). These should be the first two links that come up, or very close to that. If for some reason they are not functional, you can choose two other sites to read descriptions of your type.
2. How accurate were these website’s description of your personality? Include details and give a paragraph response on how valid you found the descriptions of your personality and why.
3. Now access the link named personality test 2 on the lessons page and take that test. The link to this test is also found here:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/personality-quiz/
Once you take that very short test then read the results that pop up below your score on the website. If you scroll down it explains what each of the categories in your personality score means. Once you have done that then compare this second personality test to the first one you took. In at least a full paragraph give your score, and then describe which one you think better captured you and was more accurate. Explain why.
5. What have been the dominant influences on your personality? Why are you the way you are? What, if anything, would you like to change about your personality and how would you go about doing that?
Once you finish reflecting and writing on these questions it is time to complete the self-actualization interview portion of this activity. On the next page you will find information regarding this second part of the project. Simply follow those directions, complete the interview, and answer the questions on that sheet. You will turn in both these questions and the interview questions together as one word document or pdf file on the course Sakai site through the “assignments” tab on the left of the course home page to receive your grade for this personality packet activity.

Negotiation Process – Part 1 Bus340: Contract and Purchasing Negotiation Techniques
1. Identify and examine similar services that your company’s competitors offer. They both examine security solutions. Includes high tech tools and services that help protect organizations against hacks, which can result in application intermission, thievery of sensitive data, vandalization to reputation, conformity fines, and other unfavorable consequences. Develop at least two potential selling points that your team will be able to use to overcome any objections on price or quality of your service. The two potential selling points that my team will be able to use to overcome any objectives on price or quality of service is come prepared and thinkgeek. According to Emma Brudner, “You never want to go into a negotiation blind — these aren’t the kinds of discussions you can wing. You need to be thoroughly prepared with a solid grasp of some key elements of a deal. For one, you have to have an intimate understanding of your prospect’s business, their buying power, their pain points, and the other solutions they’ll consider if your negotiation falls through. That last point is crucial. You need to have a picture of both your and your prospect’s BATNA — best alternative to negotiated agreement — the walkaway line that frames whether a negotiation is worth continuing. If you don’t understand where that line is for both parties, you’re giving up considerable leverage and setting yourself up for potentially making a deal that isn’t worth your time. As I said, you can’t go into negotiations blindly — avoiding that starts with you conducting thorough research on your and your prospect’s circumstances.”
2. Describeatleasttwokeyapproachesthatyournegotiationteamshoulduseto research the negotiators representing the government and the government’s overall operations. The two key approaches are distributive and integrative that my
negotiation team should use to research the negotiators representing the government and the government’s overall operations. Distributive is one in which one group wins, and other loses. Integrative is a negotiation in which the two-party finds a commonly acceptable mixture and achieve something. According to Sampson Quain, “The primary difference between these two bargaining strategies is that in distributive bargaining, you don’t take the other party’s needs into consideration when making a deal. You are simply concerned with losing less than the other party, and all your focus is on getting a better deal than the other side. In contrast, integrative bargaining begins with the assumption that both parties need to feel as if they gave up an equal amount or that they compromised equally to complete a deal. Distributive bargaining is often filled with conflict, because both parties maintain an intractable position in their attempt to lose less than the other side. Integrative bargaining is typically less fraught with tension, as both sides enter the negotiation with the willingness to compromise to achieve a consensus.” Provide a rationale for the approaches.

Do you consider yourself an advocate, educator, activist, facilitator, mediator, or broker?
Do you consider yourself an advocate, educator, activist, facilitator, mediator, or broker? Social workers take on all of these roles at various times. For example, a social worker may initiate and uphold change through social action. Alternatively, certain factors, such as race, social class, mental health, or sexual orientation may influence the social worker’s role. Therefore, the social worker must understand the client issue in order to be an effective helper. Regardless of the role, the direct practice social worker has the obligation to serve clients in multiple roles on many levels—micro, mezzo, or macro.
In this Discussion, you examine the multidimensional roles social workers fulfill in order to serve the best interest of the client.
