Jacques Tati's Playtime (1967)
For most weeks, we will meet each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in Manning Hall, room 0307, from 1010-1100 Eastern Time.
Today we'll look over the course, note the schedule, review our expectations, and begin to get ready.
topThink about what you hope to get out of this course and plan to help guide the sessions to that end.
In semesters past, we have used the Myers-Briggs Personality Test as a way of learning a bit more about ourselves and to gain a piece of of information as a tool to help us form groups for this class.
However, this tool has not won unanimous support as a predictor of personality. one of the comments about it says
Research conducted in specific career fields shows that MBTI profiles don't predict job ... team development ... Furthermore, even the Myers-Briggs Company noted that the test was not intended to predict job performance or employee selection and recruitment.
But
In contrast, conscientiousness - one of the Big Five Dimensions of Personality, a model that breaks personality down into five components - is considered a potent predictor of occupational performance ... However, the effects are still relatively small, and it is unlikely that personality assessments alone would suffice for occupational use ... Despite the criticism of the MBTI's inaccuracy and lack of utility, many corporate businesses worldwide still use it today to assess applicants and employees.
So, before next class session, take the Big 5 Personality Test and send in your results
OCEAN
to Canvas discussions. We will use this small peice of information as a tool to help us form groups for this class.
