Option #1: Leadership Style – (hoping for help on short notice)

Self-assessments enable you to learn more about yourself. These instruments feature behavioral questionnaires that address a variety of personal attributes, such as personality, emotional intelligence, communication abilities, motivation, and decision making. The overall expectation is that these instruments will provide you with value-added results, which will help you to hone your skills as a solid decision maker and leader.

Discuss the outcomes of the assessments in a paper by specifically addressing:
Your individual personality
