My test results came out with a dominant C (conscientiousness) and a lower D (dominance). Although the difference was only one point between the score of these two- 11 points to the C and 10 points to the D- I think the results are pretty accurate describing my management orientation. A person with a dominant C is a person that thinks analytically, weighing pros and cos, uses a systematic approach to situation solving and it is diplomatic with people. But at the same time because my lower D, I'm a person that accepts challenges, questions the status quo and likes to take authority on solving problems.
Would I like to have a different type of management orientation? Perhaps not totally different, but I have always thought that there should be balance on everything, so I wouldn't mind having a little bit of Influence orientation, the type of people that initiates the contact among its peers, generates enthusiasm and creates a motivational environment and also have more of Steadiness trait where the person demonstrates patience (something I lack of) is a good listener and creates a stable, harmonious work environment.
I think it is helpful to determine one's management orientation because it not only helps you to identify the areas on management where you will excel, but it also help you realize where is that you need improvement and perhaps support from your peers/co-workers. However, I don't agree that decision on hiring or promoting a person should be solely based on this type of tests. Moreover, this test is only helpful on the area of management, but to a personal level, I think it can help you notice what kind of person you are, and perhaps look room for improvement. :D
