The first personality test is called the Jung Typology Test. This test measures four trait domains:
1. How we interact with our world (the continuum with introversion on one side and extroversion on the other).
2. How we process information (the continuum with sensing on one end and intuitive on the other). Sensors are data driven and those that “intuit” tend to see the “big picture.”
3. How we make decisions (the continuum of thinking on one side and feeling on the other).
4. How we plan our day (the continuum of judging on one side and perceiving on the other). Judging in this context means planned and structured, and perceiving in this context means free-flowing and flexible.

Overview of the Five-Factor Module of Personality, also called the “Big Five”
First, watch Cambridge professor, Brian Little, explain the trait approach to personality in his Ted Talk. Who Are You Really? The Puzzle of Personality (15:07)
In the corporate world, research is done to pinpoint certain trait profiles that will result in a successful employee. Companies often give inventories when hiring, like a personality analysis based on the Five-Factor Model of Personality, commonly known as “Big-Five,” which measures five core trait domains.
1. Openness to experience/intellect: Are you eager to try new experiences and ideas, or are you more comfortable having experiences stay the same most of the time?
2. Conscientiousness: How organized of a person are you? Are you a reliable person, or are you generally careless with your actions?
3. Extraversion: Are you a social person who feels “recharged” when interacting with other people, or are you a quiet, more reserved person who prefers solitude?
4. Agreeableness: Would you say you are a compassionate, forgiving, and understanding person, or do you tend to be more critical and blunt to people?
5. Neuroticism: Are you someone who is nervous, anxious, and worries about the future, or are you calm and hard to fluster?
Step 2: Take the “Big Five” at one of the following links: https://bigfive-test.com/ or http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/.
Write a thoughtful one or two paragraph essay that addresses the following:
* Summarize your results from the “Big Five.” Do not copy/paste the results from the personality test; instead, summarize your results in your own words.
* From the perspective of an employer, explain what they may conclude, based on your results, regarding whether or not you would be a successful employee.
* Based on your results, identify one area you might like to improve. Explain what strategies you might use to implement the improvement?

What are possible negative outcomes related to the integration of new technologies, increased automation and drones and other unmanned types of transport?

Read Sage Business case:

At the end of the case study, a question is posed- “what will be necessary to allow companies such as Wing to flourish, compete, and fill this position in history?”
Reflect on material presented in the case, your coursework throughout the supply chain program here in university, as well as your own knowledge, experience and sentiment with societal transition to a ‘connected’, digital age, and answer the above question in a 5-7 page written paper. Draw from use cases for drone and other new transport technologies in the US and abroad, the rise of ecommerce, consumer delivery expectations, connected transportation and supply chain technologies to strengthen your position. Consider, as well, the impediments, hurdles and drawbacks to new transportation technologies, and particularly, a widespread and mass adoption of drone technologies. Is a positive environmental impact an absolute outcome of drones and other technologies? What are possible negative outcomes related to the integration of new technologies, increased automation and drones and other unmanned types of transport?
Your paper should answer the question- ‘what will be necessary to sustain alternative forms of transportation into the future’?
