Abstract
This study explores the role of self-knowledge in the development of personal mastery as it applies in the workplace. Self-perception, when compared to others' view of "self", provides feedback for evaluating personal contributions to the outcomes of interactive encounters or when contemplating behavioral or world-view changes. A personality profile instrument is used as the feedback mechanism to match the self-view versus peers'-view and analysis is from a quadrant model identifying four personality types based on observable behavior. The data show that subjects were matched by their peers less than 50% of the time and the percent of matches varied by type. Further research, in the form of a qualitative study, is needed to determine the actual experience of the subject and the peer and the actual impact of the feedback in the development of personal mastery.
