The Use of Personality Assessment in Team Decisions

[Ali Ahmed]

Last year Team 4 the personality test as a guide for our Big Gear, Little Gear program. We would have each student take the test then paired upperclassmen with compatible lowerclassmen. It worked similar to a Big Brother/Sister Little Brother/Sister program. It worked out pretty well except for the fact that we had way more lowerclassmen than upperclassmen so each Big Gear had 2-4 Little Gears. That ratio is not conducive to a mentoring relationship. This year we plan on having more of a one-on-one relationship.
