JUST FOR FUN


OCEAN

This is the speech which I gave as a part of our training at Staff Training College of State Bank of Hyderabad. The option was we could speak on any topic of our choice. So what I did is I selected some litrary and screen characters and tried to explain the Big Five Personility Traits wid the help of them.

The First character is the richest duck in the world. Very miser and would hire you immediately if you would work for free. But what he teaches us is the respect for hard work and self dependence. Despite owning everything he desires he continues to work and explore new opportunities. Some what like greek demi god Sysphus, you have to work for next thing when one thing ends. So what we learn from Uncle Scrooge is Openness to New Experience, the first personality trait.

The Second character which I have selected is another billionaire, he was voted as the number one Super Hero by the public of USA well ahead of Superman and Spiderman. He is the Cape Crusader- The Batman. Why he won was simple because he doesn’t have any superpower. He is simple human being in flesh and blood like us but he plans and organize everything to perfection. For every situation he has plans not one or two plans but multiple plans taking into account multiple variables and you would not believe it but he has a secondary plan to solve the problem even if he dies. Thus for his planning, organizing and performing to perfection Bruce Wayne is an example of Conscientiousness.

The third character is from very popular TV series How I Met Your Mother. He can speak the language his customers are speaking whether its French, Japanese or Thai doesn’t matter, always suited up, can sell any idea to you by just looking into your eyes and has slept with over 200 women. He is Barney Stinson for you. He is perfect example of 3rd personality type extroversion.

Next in line is Sameer from Dil Chahta Hai. He is cute, He is innocent and he is fun loving. But, he doesn’t know what to do in his life. So whatever is proposed to him he agrees to do it without thinking about results. Whether its about breakup with his girlfriend or going to Goa. He represents Agreeableness.

And now we come to final personality trait Emotional Stability (opposite of Neuroticism ). The Character which I picked up to represent it is the man who says “Keep Your Friend Close and Enemy Closer”. He is the perfect marketer because he will make you an offer you can’t refuse. He is the Original Don, the Godfather- Don Corleone. Whatever the situation is he never gets angry he never losses his cool.

With this the BIG 5 Personality Trait are complete also represented by abbreviation OCEAN (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism)
