The Role of Personality and Values in Human Services Practice
Your personality is a constellation of traits that influence how you think, feel, and behave. For this Journal Assignment, you complete a personality assessment based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types. The assessment will provide your scores on four different dichotomies (Kaler, 2007, pp. 676–677):
Extroversion/introversion: Degree to which you focus on and draw energy from the external world (e.g., people and things) or the internal world (e.g., ideas and concepts).
Sensing/intuition: Degree to which you focus on concrete information gained from the five senses or abstract information gained from perception.
Thinking/feeling: Degree to which you base your decisions on rationality and objectivity or values and maintaining harmony.
Judging/perceiving: Degree to which you prefer resolution or open-ended situations.
You then use the results of the assessment to draw conclusions about which of your personality traits would be particularly useful in a given human services role and which could pose some challenges. You also compare your values to the values associated with the practice of human services.

In the Week 2 Dataset 1 [DOCX], find baseline data for the youth who have entered the program. From this data, identify all of the variables represented and input the data into an Excel file. Save the file as a “comma separated values” (.csv) file and open this .csv file in JASP. Make sure to modify the data types of each variable to the correct scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, or scale).
Refer to the JASP Tutorial Video: Adjusting Data Types (Nominal, Ordinal, Scale)Links to an external site. for help.
Save your .jasp file and upload it for grading.
Note that you are not completing any analysis at this point in time. You are simply practicing entering data in Excel and saving it in a format that is then opened in JASP. You need to demonstrate the ability to identify the correct level of measurement for each variable.

Review the NASW, ASWB, CSWE, & CSWA Standards for Technology in Social Work

 
Review the NASW, ASWB, CSWE, & CSWA Standards for Technology in Social Work PracticeLinks to an external site.. Then consider a scenario of using technology in social work practice. A real experience is better, but if you do not have one, consider any hypothetical example. Briefly explain the scenario in your post and describe the relationship to the standards.
Referring to the NASW, ASWB, CSWE, & CSWA Standards for Technology in Social Work PracticeLinks to an external site., identify one or two specific standards that interest you. Why are they important? What challenges might they present? 
Go to the ASWB: Reports Home PageLinks to an external site. and find the statutes for your home state or jurisdiction, or one about which you are interested in learning. You can also go directly to the state or jurisdiction’s statutes and administrative rules website. Explore if there are any regulations about the use of technology in social work practice and discuss what you find.
Share something from the readings that resonated with you. Discuss your experiences with this concept or how you can use this information in the future.

To begin your milestone, you will first select one of the professions from the list provided. Next, use your Project Two Milestone Template Word Document to address each of the following rubric criteria in about 3 to 5 sentences:

Personality and the Individual

Identify one trait from the Big Five (openness, also known as intellect/imagination; conscientiousness; extraversion; agreeableness; or neuroticism, also known as emotional stability) that you think is particularly important for your selected profession and justify your response.

For example, it may be important for a lawyer to possess the trait of conscientiousness. Reliability and diligence seem to be an important part of the job. Being disorganized and impulsive might not serve a lawyer’s clients well.

Describe whether it would be most ideal for your selected professional to be low, high, or mixed for the Big Five trait you identified for most situations and justify your response.

For example, it may be important for a lawyer to score low on neuroticism (high on emotional stability) since they need to listen and think things through. It seems best if negative affect does not interfere with their ability to present a case. However, there are times when lawyers can be seen as emotional and even aggressive.

Explain whether you think the effectiveness of the Big Five trait you selected depends on the situation. To justify your response, provide a real or imagined example where the trait would benefit the professional and an example where the same trait would not benefit the professional.

For example, maybe openness would be important when a lawyer searches for evidence in favor of the client, but the appearance of openness to new ideas might not be as important while advocating for the client in court.

Personality and Teams

Identify another trait from the Big Five for your selected profession and describe how scoring low, high, or mixed on that trait might influence how that professional conducts their work or interacts with others.

For example, it may be important for a lawyer to score average to low on agreeableness. They need to be able to present an opposing view and fight for their clients, but they also must be able to cooperate and work with others within the court system.

Explain whether you think it is better to have a diversity of traits within the same profession or among professionals with the same role or whether it is better for the professionals to exhibit the same traits. Justify your response.

For example, some lawyers are extroverted and some are introverted. Regardless of how they fall on this trait dimension, they can likely perform their job well. Also, some lawyers are less agreeable than others. Depending on the case, having a choice in the type of lawyer selected can be helpful to meet client needs.

Personality, Stress, and Coping

Describe how you would expect your selected professional to cope with stress using a trait you identified previously or a new trait of your choosing.

For example, a lawyer would likely cope better with stress if they score lower on the neuroticism trait dimension. This means they would be more emotionally stable and less impulsive.

Explain what kind of support you would expect from a person in this profession if you were seeking help or advice. Consider how much emotional intelligence you might expect your selected professional to display.

For example, a lawyer would likely be open to hearing a client’s story and seeing it from their perspective. The lawyer would likely want to help the client and offer sound legal advice and a clear plan of action. To be able to advocate for a client, a lawyer would need to be able to step into the client’s shoes and also use legal training and knowledge to leverage the best chance for success.
