    1. Differences in Self/Other Perceptions and Personality Randall H. Lucius & Carolyn Turknett Turknett Leadership Group Atlanta, GA

    2. 2 Abstract Personality differences between those who rated themselves higher than how others perceive them (over raters) and those who rated themselves lower than how others perceive them (under raters) on a 360 leadership instrument were studied. Results found that over raters are more extroverted than under raters, while under raters are more anxious than over raters

    3. 3 Introduction Most studies of self/other differences in 360 assessments argue over accuracy vs. value of variation from multiple raters What about individual differences in self/other difference scores? This study explored personality differences associated with those who over or under rate themselves.

    4. 4 Introduction (cont.) Past Findings: MBTI: ISs have most accurate self perception (Roush & Atwater, 1992) Self-Esteem: those low in self-esteem less likely to over-rate (Baird, 1977) Those high in Intelligence, nAch, internal locus of control are more accurate (Mabe & West, 1982). Gender differences equivocal.

    5. 5 Introduction (cont.) Importance Accurate self-perceivers make better decisions (Bass & Yammarino, 1991) Inaccurate self-perceivers more likely to deny problems, give up, and fear failure (Wohlers & London, 1989) Moderates leader performance (Atwater & Yammarino, 1992) Can strain CEO/TMT relationship and affect strategy (Ashford, 1989)

    6. 6 Method Subjects: 186 executives who participated in the Turknett Executive Development Program. 25% female Age range: 37 to 55; Avg=44 360 instrument: Coworker Rating Scale (Hagberg, 1984). measures 47 different behaviors E.g. decisiveness, thoroughness, forthrightness, consideration, adaptable, self-confidence, motivating others, empowerment

    7. 7 Method (cont.) Personality: Jackson Personality Inventory (Jackson, 1994) & Personality Research Form (Jackson, 1989). Difference score computation: co-worker ratings (superior, peer, subordinate) were averaged together by item and subtracted from self score. An average difference score across items was computed

    8. 8 Method (cont.) Difference score computation (cont.): Two groups were formed: those who tend to overrate themselves and those who underrate. Differences between over and under raters on the JPI and PRF were assessed via t-tests.
