Interpretation of Test Scores

Personality Traits

The test scores showed that among the five global factors , the client has the tendency to be unrestrained (3 ) while she is exhibited an orientation for high anxiety (7 , extraversion (6 , independence (6 ) and open-mindedness (4 . The global factors indicate the identifiable traits that all people share

hence the term global although each person differs in the extent to which they identify and exhibit the said traits . From the said scores , it can be surmised that the client has a strong personality wherein she tends to follow her own mind and is decisive . The scores also tell us that she is independent and on average is open minded but since she is unrestrained this may mean that she can accommodate other people 's views and opinions but it does not necessarily mean that she accepts it .

This job would require that the person have good interpersonal skills , can get along with different kinds of people and handle a multitude of tasks However , a limitation for the client is her tendency to be emotionally distant and forthright , which means that she may not be as accommodating and warm and that she speaks her mind whenever she wants to . Although it is not a sign of inefficiency , the administrative officer 's job makes it necessary for her to be accommodating and warm to many people and agencies because she has to work with them . Moreover , the position entails that she practice some tact and diplomacy especially in attending meetings or coordinating with the different charity activities and government officials , being blunt and straightforward would not make her popular with the rest of the people she has to work with if ever she takes on the job .
