possible way. Not only does he try to put his own ideas but he also encourages others to

participate in conversations. He likes to debate on a variety of topics and adds humour to

every possible thing and creates a very light environment for everyone around him. He is

not reluctant in sharing his opinion in front of anyone. There have been instances where

the entire group had a particular opinion and Raj had another opinion but he made sure

that his opinion gets considered if he is putting a rational point behind it. He is always up

for a conversation and tries to negate others' points in a satirical fashion.

On being interviewed, Raj shared his interest in partying with his friends. Even if this

schedule is hectic he tries to take out some time for his friends and enjoys gathering

whether at home or outside. He tries to have informal conversation with as many people

as possible. His friends usually reach out to him whenever they feel low and Raj tries to

interviewing him and another by observing him during group projects and casual

conversation that occurred as a part of group study.

tactfully and make his stance clear. Hence he tends to be agreeable but not gullible.

conversation with others. He is open to learning new ideas and style of working. In a group

setup he tries to listen to everyone around him. In a few cases where he has a very strong

opinion and others differ from him, he would smartly handle situations like this. he will

agree with them in a very friendly manner and would show friendly gestures as a sign of

agreeableness but will swiftly change the topic to his opinion and try to convince others. It

is a very desirable trait. He usually does not give up on agreeing to others’ ideas unless

they have a very strong rationale behind it. He has a learning attitude and hence he tries to

6
be cooperative with people who have knowledge so that he can extract as much

information from them as possible. His curiosity encourages him to participate in different

activities and also take up different responsibilities with others. If a person tries to

convince him and that ultimately moves in a direction which is not favourable for Piyush,

he tends to resist the idea but makes sure that the relationship between them does not

suffer.

time he felt cheated by others for their own personal benefits.He also has a great

influence on him of his father which has shaped his personality in a way which is difficult

to mould. He tries to resist changes which are against the strong belief system which was

established during his childhood. He tries to be as Cooperative as possible in a professional

setup but he is reserved when talked about personal life matters. Few instances in his life

where he felt that his dear ones have cheated him and betrayed him for their personal

benefits. This has led to development of Trust issues in his mind when he deals with

personal matters. He takes up time to know a person before he fully starts believing in

them. When asked to work in a group, he will always make extra efforts in completing his

work and he’ll agree to do a part of others work as well if there are genuine issues. If in a

subordinate role, he will show full devotion to the superior person he is reporting to. If he

starts trusting others' work, he blindly agrees to their ideas and concerns but it takes time

to make him trust in their work.

Person taking the interview: Shreya Maheshwari

Person being interviewed : Piyush Rohilla

Personality Trait: Agreeableness

Shreya:

Hi! Hi, Piyush! How are you?

Piyush:

Yes, I'm fine. How about you?

Shreya:

17
I'm good. I'm good. I'm really good. So let us start with the interview now. So, I'll just put up
the first question directly then. In your own opinion, how do you define yourself? Define
yourself as a open and happy go lucky person, or do you define yourself as a more
reserved and conservative person?

Piyush:

Fun and happy go lucky person. Sometime I choose to be reserve. Actually it totally depend
on the person. I like to meet new people and talk about their life experiences. According to
me every person holds different personality. By knowing them it helps me to learn new
good or bad things that might be helpful for my future life too.

Shreya:

Okay. All right. All right. Okay. And how do you, how do you think, or can you just explain
with an example, if you are, if you are a sympathetic person, if you're an empathetic and
sympathetic.

Piyush:

Okay. I see myself as both empathetic and sympathetic person. I can give an example. I
have done my Bachelor’s from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I used to travel 20km on bike. One day
while passing from the overbridge I saw a earthen pot seller trying to drag his Cart along
with two small children who were helping his father to cross the over-bridge. I stopped
their and went to help them. It was the afternoon time as usual the temperature was 47
degree. I helped them to cross the bridge and offer some water. After drinking some cold
water the two tiny were smiling like they have got some precious gift. So, I thought to offer
them some money. But, their father refuse to take money. On asking why, he told me the
golden words which changed my thoughts completely .He told me” No Sir, I can’t take this
money. I’m not a begger and never choose too. I only accept the money which I earn by
selling this pots in a respectful manner. I’m very thankful to helped for crossing the
bridge.” That day I understood money is not a thing for every person. Each person wants
the respect even if he is big business men or a pot seller. The hardwork he was putting to
earn the money with respect and making his children learn the golden life lessons.

Shreya:

I mean, that's, that's a really good thing that you just told. Yeah, thanks for that answer.
Can you just describe a situation like, where, what you wanted to convey wasn't necessarily
accepted by the others? Like your opinions differ from your teammates or maybe your

18
friends or your colleagues, or some of your batch mates’ opinions extremely. And then,
they were not agreeing to what you were saying and what, how did you feel in wanting to
do in that situation? How will you cope with this sort of situation? How do you tackle it?

Piyush:

Okay. I joined a group for the thesis work. The group five people were completely new to
me. We all were from different sections and got together because of the same topic
selection randomly We all meet first time and introduce each other . Two persons having
the field experience of 2 years. I was selected as a leader mutually. We discussed about the
topic in detail way and shared each other points. We have short duration to submit first
draft. We all were thinking differently no one was ready to adjust follow one way so that we
can start our first draft. I was facing the major issue as I was very good interactive with
each of them and no one was trying communicate with each other other than me. The two
experience hold members were more practical and other two are referring more to the
research work. In mid , I faced chaos as no one was to ready to finalize the final pathway.
So, I Decided to set up a meeting and divided a a plan that two persons will do research
work and we three will prepare a draft . Other two will look after the practical data
collection and do the editing work to finalize the draft. After going through this process we
completed and submitted the draft on time.

Shreya:

Okay. Okay. yeah. So another like on similar lines question, is that, are you usually
impressed by someone? Do you follow someone? Do appreciate someone like the better
things in someone, do you vocally or by your actions, show people that, you know, they
deserve that recognition, that credibility or something for or some words for what they're
doing. So do you usually do that in your team or in your friends, or maybe in your
colleagues as well?

Piyush:

Yes, I observe a person in many ways. I try to understand the thought process in all
possible ways. As I am never ashamed to apologize to the person if I had made a mistake.
I’m usually impressed by the person who are doing the great things in a simple way and
then also not even bragging about themselves. In the group assignment we used to do the
work equally but sometimes anyone makes a extra effort for the work. I appreciate him\her
and learn how he done something new. I welcome new ideas and discussion on them.

Shreya:

19
Okay. Okay. So, yeah. Alright. And how often are you impressed by someone and how do
you try to follow someone? Like usually, you know, everyone has some ideas, but not
necessarily like A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, but people around you basically, how often are you
impressed by our people around you and what do you do about that?

Piyush:

Yes, I am impressed with many of the people as I mentioned earlier that I like to talk to new
people. Honestly, I see my father as my role model. I have been handling and learning
Family business since I was 19 years old. I saw him doing struggle in many ways. He was
failing in the new ideas but never gave up. He made me learn life lessons in a very detail
way by observing people what they want from you, How you can manage to earn profit in
difficult ways. If you start something new how you can face challenges and come up with to
new idea to deal it with. So, I have passed all my childhood by learning business from my
father and I think I have learned a lot of theories and practical ways to make my future life
better.

Shreya:

All right. All right. Okay, another question, how do you rate yourself? This is the last
question. So how do you rate yourself compared to your peers? How do you think about
yourself as compared to your peers or your friends? Where do you keep yourself in terms
of, you're not just giving you, give yourself a rating basically, and justify it,

Piyush:

I can’t rate myself as I am not use to compare myself with any one else.

Prithviraj:

No relative, not absolute relative to your friends and your peers and everyone. Yeah.
Everyone, people around you, you interact with,

Piyush:

In what sense, because everything has a different scenario.

Prithviraj:

Just the general rating. How do you consider yourself as a person, as in comparison to
others around you? That sort of rating? Basically.

20
Piyush:
