Abstract

Compared to more complex personality assessments, Wired That Way by Marita Littauer, presents four personality types that students find easy to understand and internalize: Popular Sanguine, Powerful Choleric, Perfect Melancholy, and Peaceful Phlegmatic. Students’ awareness of their own and their peers’ classification in this comprehensive personality plan can be useful in the administration of group projects and other classroom activities. The understanding and application of the innate strengths and weaknesses of each personality type in a group setting provides tools and language that enable students to navigate challenges. This Teaching Brief presents the benefits and process of incorporating Wired That Way into the administration of group projects. Recommendations are based on analyzing the outcomes of a group project over 6 years for 402 students in 125 groups in 18 sections of an upper-division undergraduate Business Administration course in Tourism and Hospitality Management. Analysis results demonstrate that the personality makeup of individuals in a group can influence project component grades, most notably how the personalities in each group influence creativity, group cohesion, and overall project performance.

你的学生是“天生如此”吗?:将个性类型整合到团队项目的管理中
与更复杂的人格评估相比,Marita Littauer的《Wired That Way》提出了四种性格类型,学生们觉得很容易理解和内化:流行的多血型、强大的胆汁型、完美的忧郁型和和平的粘液型。在这个全面的人格计划中,学生对自己和同伴的分类的认识可以在小组项目和其他课堂活动的管理中发挥作用。在小组环境中理解和应用每种人格类型的先天优势和弱点,为学生应对挑战提供了工具和语言。本教学简报介绍了将有线方式纳入小组项目管理的好处和过程。这些建议是根据对旅游和酒店管理高级本科工商管理课程18个科125个组402名学生6年小组项目的结果进行分析得出的。分析结果表明,群体中个体的个性构成可以影响项目成分的等级,最显著的是每个群体的个性如何影响创造力、群体凝聚力和整体项目绩效。
