Self Assessment Reflection Essay: You are required to turn in one self-reflection paper in this course. This paper is your
reflection on yourself. In order to write this paper, you are required to first take a few assessment tests and then based on
the scores you get on the tests, you are required to write one reflection paper. I am also providing you with the web-links
(see below) where these three assessment tests can be accessed.
LIST OF ASSESSMENT TESTS IS AS FOLLOWS with WEB-Links:
I. Reflection paper on Personality and Values
http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/
II. Self-Assessment test on Emotional Intelligence (I have given two links, use the one that works – your preference)
OR
http://psychology.about.com/library/quiz/bl_eq_quiz.htm
As you can see that these self-assessment tests cover your overall personality – Big Five and Emotional Intelligence.
You need to integrate the information, results from the above two tests into one reflection essay.
This paper must not be less than 3 full pages nor more than 5 pages in length, 11- or 12-point Times New Roman,
double spaced with 1 inch margins.
In this paper, you will reflect upon what you learned about yourself from the assessments. You must share your
score/results, the description of the scores, and/or individual test items in your reflection. Do you agree with your
scores? Why or why not?
You MUST include a section on how can you use these self-assessments to become more successful and effective in
your personal relationships, group memberships, work, classes, or other aspects of your life?
You must tie in theories/terms from the textbook and highlight them in BOLD or CAPS. Only use terms that have
some substance in them, do not just put anything that comes to your mind.
Personal examples are required to back-up your reflections.
Reflection paper is due on their due date.
No late self-assessment reflection papers will be accepted. Early submissions are welcome. No make-ups. Late or
missed assignments will get a ‘Zero’.
Reflection papers will be graded as Pass, Deficient, or Fail, based on the following grading scheme.
Pass = Assignment fully completed, with terms and theories from the textbook used in your paper and highlighted in BOLD or
CAPS, personal examples, on-time, scores revealed, and all the conditions listed above are duly met. Full points (100).
Deficient = Any of the following missing: Misspellings, poor grammar, partial completion, insufficient critical reflection evident,
No use of terms/theories, no-personal examples and any violation of the above requirements. Half points (50).
Fail = Not enough effort to be considered deficient, not prepared according to requirements (length, margins, type, format), not
timely submitted, or not done, no use of theories/terms from text, no personal examples. No points (0).
