Assessment Description:
This assessment is designed to help you reflect on your individual personality and be more aware of how your personality can affect your interaction in a diverse cultural and professional context.

"How can you be a suitable candidate for the Global HR Director role?"

You must respond to this question using the 'Big Five' Framework and 'Global Mindset' in context to the described scenario given: explaining what aspects of your personality, using only tem (2) personality factors from your 'Big Five" Personality Profile, are suitable in fulfilling the requirements stated in the scenario brief. Your response should address aspects related to cultural competency and what value your personality brings with you in fulfilling this role. It is essential that you integrate professional and/or personal examples to relate to your profile and to support your explanation.
What you need to do:
Review Topics 1 to 3 and any other resources, recent research on cultural competence, personality and 'Big Five' framework. You should study the relevant chapter(s) in your prescribed textbook and look up recent, relevant and peer-reviewed journal articles on the topic with the help of Murdoch's online library.

Take the 'Big Five Personality' SAQ available from Topic 3 on LMS to determine your Big Five Personality.
Take the 'Global Mindset' SAQ available from Topic 2 on LMS to identify your global mindset score.
