Mayer attended numerous lessons and activities over the years. Among those she sampled: swimming, ice skating, ballet, piano, embroidery and cross stitch, cake decorating, skiing and golf. From her activities, Mayer learned valuable life lessons that explores her creativity skills. The daughter of an engineer and an art teacher, Mayer demonstrated an early affinity for math and science. From a small town girl, with ambition. However, the significance of these humble beginnings would become forever more important from this seemingly simple and typical childhood, one of the world’s most powerful executives arose ii. His or her secondary/tertiary educational background While at Wausau West High, she worked at a local grocery store, where she memorized the prices for hundreds of items in order to streamline the checkout process. Marissa did her graduation from Wausau West High School. At Wausau West High School, she played the piano, joined the math club, debated, did ballet and led the Spanish club, among other engage ments. She was also very active in extracurricular activities at her school, becoming president of her high school's Spanish club, treasurer of Key Club, captain of the debate team, and captain of the pom-pom squad. Her high school debate team won the Wisconsin state championship and the pom-pom squad was the state runner-up. .After graduating from high school in 1993, Mayer was selected by Tommy Thompson, then the Governor of Wisconsin, as one of the state's two delegates to attend the National Youth Science Camp in West Virginia. She applied to 10 colleges, including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. After being accepted by all of them, she created a spreadsheet, ranking the schools by criteria such as median S.A.T. scores. Mayer chose Stanford University. She entered college thinking shed be a pediatric neurosurgeon, but a required computer course for pre-med students intrigued and challenged her. She decided to study Symbolic Systems which included courses in cognitive psychology, philosophy, linguistics and computer science. Although she grew up thinking she would be a doctor, while at Stanford University, Mayer developed a passion for computers and went on to earn both a Bachelor of Science in symbolic systems and an Master of Science in computer science, with a specialization in artificial intelligence . In acknowledgement of her work in the field of research, she got the degree of doctorate from Illinois Institute of Technology in 2009. iii. His or her early career background to the point reaching a business leader status. Before making her place at Google, she has had a privilege to hold key positions in research both at SRI International located in California and UBS research Centre in Zurich, after nine months of working with 30 other researchers to build a system for a website - similar to the system that Amazon uses to make suggestions for books based on previous purchases guest row. Fall 1999 is the hottest period with students graduating when a series of IT companies like Yahoo, Market Watch, VA Linux Systems, TheGlobe.com ... continue developed brightly. One evening in April, she received an email entitled "working at Google?". Her interview is Craig Silverstein, the developer of the first official Google. before starting, Siverstein suggested Mayer stop interview at 16 hours. He asked Mayer for suggestions to Google can do better. Mayer say Google needs a system to collect the site better, especially with the news page .And when she stops talking has is 16: 10. She's embarrassing excuse. In response, Silverstein smiled and said interviews are really worth. In Google, Mayer's 14th job offer came from Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who quizzed her on artificial intelligence while sitting at a ping-pong table that the company used for conferences. In 1999, Google wasn't yet an Internet search giant. In fact, the company had only 19 employees. Upon accepting an offer to lead Google's user interface and Web server teams, Mayer became the company's 20th employee and its first female engineer. Marissa became the first female engineer at Google in 1999. She became Vice President of Search Products and User Experiences after managing Local search, Google Maps and Location services. She worked in various capacities as a designer, engineer, product manager and strategic planner. She played a vital role in the development of Google Search, News, Images, Toolbar and Gmail. Known as a fashionista with an eye for design, Mayer is widely credited for the unique look and feel that has come to characterize the Google experience. .She heavily influenced the companys biggest successes such as Google Earth, Books, Images and more, and she curated Google Doodle, the morphing of the familiar homepage logo into designs and images celebrating special events around the world. Named a Vice President in 2005, Mayer most recent role had her supervising the company mapping products, location services, Google Local, Street View and many other products. During her 13-year tenure she led the product management effort for more than a decade during which Google Search grew from a few hundred thousand to over a billion searches per day. Move to Yahoo, She assumed the reins at Yahoo as CEO on July 17, 2012, Mayer was appointed president and CEO of Yahoo , a company besieged by declining stock prices, layoffs and slowing ad revenue. Tasked with course-correcting the company, Mayer became the fifth CEO hired by Yahoo in five years, as well as one of only 20 women running a Fortune 500 company. As a female technology CEO, Mayer follows in the footsteps of former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman. And many believe that she just may have what it takes to turn Yahoo around. In September of 2013, Mayer was ranked number one by Fortune magazine in its annual "40 Under 40" list of business leaders. It was also during this month that Mayer posed in the September issue of Vogue magazine. The photo featured Mayer on a chaise lounge in a form-fitting blue dress. The divisive image brought about a debate over whether the seductive pose took away from her authoritative role as a CEO. Marissa’s name was included in the list of America’s 50 Most Powerful Women in Business by the Fortune magazine in year 2008 to 2011. Her ranking in this list increased from rank 50 in year 2008 to rank 38 in the year 2011. In year 2012, she was ranked 14th. iv. Identify his or her personality traits. Each person has different character traits, but many character traits in common, so the scientists were summed and divided into five major personality or called Big Five dimentions of personality (Big Five).
Mayer is full of the 5 personalities as conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness, extraversion and openness to experience the levels from highest to lowest, respectively. The first character accounted for 86 percentage is conscientiousness. When working at Google, Mayer has worked 130 hours a week means working 20 hours a day including weekends and holidays. Mayer dedicated the work to the extent of only 4-6 hours of sleep each night to make the new technology revolution built for Google and Yahoo. Mayer's personality is not only expressed their determination to achieve results but also the discipline. Mayer had to fix Yahoo's culture of discipline for those left behind steel Yahoo tends to appear late and leaving early, or logging in from home. With 79% of neuroticism is the second personality traits of mayer. The character sidetrend toexperience negative emotions. Mayer higher neuroticism scores are particularlysensitive in matters relating to the computer software. With 73 percentage of the personality traits of agreeableness Mayer is meant facet trend compassion before others. Mayer was extremely generous, thoughtful, and caring. Mayer also create a forum where their employees can comfortably put forward proposals and solutions. Mayer has been successful in her spiritual therapy to all employees of Yahoo turning them from people drowsy, tired of working become enthusiastic and hardworking. An employee at Yahoo said: " If Mayer does not come, the good employees of Yahoo!'m left out. And that would be an end to Yahoo ".The fourth personality traits of extraversion with Mayer is 63 percent. Most CEOs like Mayer are gregarious, extroverted life and social relationships, but Mayer is not the kind of person. Mayer's colleagues say that she is the shy
type, shy and socially unaware, however with a very successful first step when designing the homepage of Google, created in the product management structure, and became the face of the company and became CEO of Yahoo. Mayer became one of the most powerful women in one of the most powerful companies in the world. The last is openness to experience with 58 percentage. The character side search trend and enjoy the experience and new ideas. Mayer has higher point “openness to experience” is usually the type of creative person, like to learn new things, and have diverse interests. v. Critically link and discuss your findings above to the concepts and theories learned in class. vi. What did you learn from your investigation From this investigation I learned that to become a great leader should have a passion, presenters have the ability to convince others and motivate others. Is anyone ever had a dream, passion or desire that as a young ? However, many young people have been living without a dream or any other main passion which makes them become passive and lacking of passion so that life becomes boring, tasteless. Life is to know passion, dream like Mayer. Google employee No. 20, Mayer can retired but she still worked from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm with passion in their work. After a workout in the gym Google, Mayer reply until 11:00 pm. A person is always knitting love energy to all his favorite activities. The second thing which I learned when want to become that leader is the ability to persuade. Every leader has the ability to inspire with great communication relationship, especially when they tell stories to create that connection between the narrator and the audience which makes the listener feel comfortable at the same time easy to remember, without feeling uncomfortable or boring. Mayer is the narrator and presented in a special way because when she discussed by using only 10 slides which are all pictures in 1 hour. Mayer does not deliver presentations. Mayer has storyteller has used the slide presentations to increase the attractiveness for the story. Lastly and most importantly I learned from Mayer is motivator. Why do people need to be motivated? An employee with a good work ethic is not necessarily motivated personnel having good working example an employee to use 1 to 2 hours of social work can be mentally very good but not productivity by others. The fact that people want to prove themselves, be successful, autonomy, etc. Therefore, leaders need to create incentives to exploit their innate ability which can be done verbally. Leaders inspire and create meaningful work for employees. Mayer has a big challenge at Yahoo, but with the ability to inspire her, she most certainly will leave a mark on the industry. vii.

In literature, a dynamic character changes significantly as a result of events, conflicts, or other forces. In the play, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Mary Warren, the young servant of the Proctor’s is a dynamic character. Throughout the play, Mary’s personality takes a turn for the better. At the beginning of the play, Mary is shy, timid girl who hides in the shadows of Abigail Williams and lets people walk all over her. As the play develops, Mary realizes that what Abigail is doing isn’t right and rebels against Abby. Instead of following Abby, she follows in the footsteps of John Proctor to bring justice to the girl’s accusing innocent people of witchcraft.
Did you know that people all around the world are forced to battle with an ongoing illness every day of their lives? It is important for every patient to be looked after and offered the best options so they could get back to living a happy and normal life. Any individual should receive undivided attention and support through their long exhausting battle, which will lead them to a clean bill of health. In the book The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green, he develops the idea that young cancer patients must endure many uphill battles during their path to recovery. Initially, Hazel and Augustus prove that relationships are hard to keep up with, but they know they are devoted to be together. However, a true friendship can last forever if it is based on pure honesty. Hazel and Augustus's distinct personalities lead them to forget about their flaws and put their love for each other first which makes them contribute to their own hardships.
Over several decades, independent streams of systematic research into personality traits have converged on the same general conclusion: the domain of personality attributes can be described by five superordinate constructs (Digman, 1990). These five general, robust factors of personality are now called the “Big Five” and subsume as well as abstract, more specific personal attributes, dispositions, habits and behaviours as a framework (cf. Digman, 1990; MCRae and Costa, 1989; Wiggins and Pincus, 1992). The five global traits in this frame work are: (1) Extraversion, described by a need for stimulation, activity, assertiveness, and quantity and intensity of interpersonal interaction; (2) Agreeableness, represented
There might be many responsible characters in this pay, but Abigail Williams is the most responsible for many bad things that occur in this play written by Arthur Miller. Abigail Williams, a main character in the "Crucible" is to blame for the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts. She is not a nice woman. She doesn't care about the people she hurts. She causes many people pain. She makes many people suffer. Abigail Williams is the most responsible for many problems because she lies, she manipulates, and accuses innocent people for witchcraft.
In the realistic fiction novel Ellen Foster, written by Kaye Gibbons, a young girl named Ellen Foster yearns for a loving family and a better life after enduring a tremendous amount of abuse and loss. Throughout the novel, Ellen exemplifies resilience by making the most of difficult circumstances and finding ways to rise above hardships. Of all of the qualities that Ellen demonstrated during the hardships she faced, resilience was the most valuable to her future success, because it enabled her to develop a strong sense of identity and bounce back from adversity.
After Allport, came along two psychologists, Raymond Cattell and Hans Eysenck, who each formulated their own theories regarding traits. Their theories have been the subjects of considerable research in the world of psychology. Cattell seemed to focus on far too many traits, while Eysenck seemed to focus on too few. As a result, psychologists have combined the two theories to make one satisfactory theory (Cherry), called “The Big Five Factors” (Myers). They are: conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness, and extraversion. These five factors merge to create the human personality (Cherry). Where people fall into these factors s...

The Big Five personality factors are the modern way of describing someone’s feelings, actions, and traits. This new factor map, improving Hans and Sybil Eysenck’s two-dimensional map which consisted of a stable/unstable axis and an introverted/extroverted axis, has five different factors. They are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism and everyone can be described using these five criteria. This paper will discuss and interpret my results from a Big Five personality test including how accurate I believe it is and how this might change in the future.
Discussed below are different researchers’ arguments and explanations on how personality predicts employee performance. This essay will explore both negative and positive ways in which personality can predict the performance, as well as explaining what personality is. Past research has “demonstrated that personality constructs are associated with work performance, with some traits like conscientiousness predicting success around jobs. Other linked with specific occupations e.g. extraversion correlates with success in sales and management as well as training performance supporting”, (Barrick et al., 2002, 87: p.43).
It is remarkable that by answering a few basic questions, a person can learn key characteristics of his or her personality. After taking the personality test, I learned my general personality type is “The Consul” (ESFJ-A). Individual traits of my personality type are more extroverted than introverted, more observant than intuitive, more feeling than thinking, more judging than prospecting, and more assertive than turbulent. My role is Sentinel and my strategy is People Mastery (“Consul Personality,” 2017). The results of the personality test offered insight into my overall personality type and its social and workplace implications.

One of the most prominent trends in organization today is the use of team to accomplish the work, which have assigned to an individual. Every team is made up of specific individuals and they are specialized in certain area of interest. If one of the specifications is missing It can be reflected on their performance. It indicates that, every individual is important for the organization. An individual’s performance within an organization and its relationship with its subordinates and coworkers is highly influenced by the Big Five personality traits. My Big five test results depicted that I am traditional/conventional individual with significantly high percentile of conscientiousness and agreeableness. I also have lower neuroticism and slightly
