Assignment 3
Assignment Instructions. 1. After interviewing Jordan Carter it seems to me like he is very entrepreneurial and driven. It was funny giving him the test because his results had a little of each, but the most answers he had was at being a fantastic manager. After I read him the results he was very confused and shocked because I believe he thought that he was going to hear something differently even saying “what if I don’t agree with the results?” When it comes to success in the real world compared to the test I gave him, it doesn’t seem to me like it is that accurate. Jordan Carter has been having a very good time with success. His sales are sky rocketing and his team might look to expand next year. Unfortunately I do not know if using my assessment results would help him much in the business world, but I think talking about why he believes he is successful, where he sees the business going and where his goals are directed for the next year, may be a factor in making him think about new ideas to continue in a successful direction. I really enjoyed talking business with him and just seeing his goal orientated mindset play out in real life. He seems to be all about customer service and rewarding his employees which obviously plays a factor in why his business has been and will continue to expand. 2. After giving him Test 3 from the last assignment, it was really funny to see his reaction. He said “wowwwwwww” in almost a shocked kind of way because it told him he would be better as a manager than an entrepreneur which he did not agree with. Even though the results were mainly managerial, he still had a pretty consistently even dispersal of answers throughout A to D and after talking through why he may have answered more of the manager questions as correct, he seemed okay with it.
