Similar Minds Personality Test

The name of the career/ business assessment that I took from the Module is the Carolyn Kalil's Free Personality Quiz. The website that provided the quiz was http://www.innerheroes.com/quiz.asp. This website provided the quiz free of charge. The purpose of the Carolyn assessment is to evaluate an individual’s primary personality. After doing so, the information can be used to better understand an employee in the workplace. The test identifies thinkers, helpers, planners, and doers. Each one of these personalities can help build and support a business in a different aspect as long as the skill sets are implemented correctly.

Who are you? Many fortune cookies, horoscopes, and other whimsical devices attempt to tell us our personalities, or our combination of traits and behaviors that make up who we are. However, psychologists today deviate from those unsubstantiated methods and have concocted various personality tests that give us a better understanding of who we are. One such test is called the Myers-Briggs personality test. Based on theories by Carl Jung, but primarily created by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs, the test gives people a standardized survey of questions to answer. Standardized, meaning the test is given and scored in the exact same way every time to give unbiased and accurate results. It scores people in four pairs of characteristics, so there is a total of 16 possible personality types. Each pair of characteristics are opposites and a person can fall anywhere between the extreme end of one opposite to the extreme end of the other. The pairs are extroverted and introverted, sensing and intuition, thinking and feeling, finally judging and perceiving. A person can have strong, moderate or weak tendencies towards a preference. (Rathus, 2010, p. 420) There is some criticism of the Myers-Briggs test however, not everyone fits into the categories. People may answer according to socially acceptable norms instead of their honest answers. Not all of the theories were proven, Carl Jung made many observations and deductions but they weren’t formally

John Adams once said, “Thanks be to God that he gave me stubbornness when I know I am right”. John Adams, like myself was introverted, intellectual, thinking, and judging, or an INTJ on the Myers Briggs personality test. Like all INTJs, Adams was stubborn and flouted the ideas of others that he did not agree with. By using my results from the Meyers Briggs personality test, I can examine how I react to certain things and use this to improve my Spirituality, my relationship with God, and ultimately my relationship with others through Christ.

the only area which I felt were not accuract to my personality were the career list it gave me. It gave me a lot of jobs that insist on mathematically reasoning, which is not a strong point of mines. Other than this I was surprised at the test’s accuracy.

I was very happy to have been given the opportunity to take these self-assessment tests. I always had an idea as far as what my personality is defined as, but it’s interesting to see where my strengths and weaknesses are. With the Jungian Typology test I scored 59% Introvert, 34% Sensing, 19% Thinking, and 31% Judging. After receiving this score and reading how each is defined, none of this surprised me. Sharing the results with my mother, her response was, “No surprise there!” I have always tried having some understanding of my personality in hopes of finding the right career path for me. I must admit that this has opened my eyes to how detail oriented and focused I can be, especially if it’s something I care about. This can be both good

In taking the Big Five Personality Test, I find the results to be consistent with my personality. According to the results, I am a conventional and down to earth person that is very well-organized and can be relied upon. Furthermore, I am a nervous and quiet person with the tendency to be mean and rude to others. These findings are pretty accurate because I know for a fact that I am a very well-organized person with no intention of being center of attention in a room full of people. Furthermore, my friends are always telling me that I am rude and harsh on certain things. Finally, I prefer to see things realistically rather than using my imagination and being creative.

My results for the MBTI personality test was ISTP. Which represents me as introversion, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. I have personally never taken this test but I believe I got put into the right category. I was slightly introverted which wasn’t too much of a surprise for me because I am pretty shy sometimes. I love hanging out with people and never pass up an opportunity for a good time, so I would say I am more towards the middle between extroversion and introversion. For example, I wouldn’t go up and talk to someone out of the blue, but if anyone ever asked me to go meet people or do something I would usually say yes. The result for the way I make decisions seem very accurate to me. I usually always think logically and would think

Other than that, I found the following to be accurate on my personality. Granted, I think the following results are useful to me because the personality test gives me options on a certain career fields I could potentially consider for my personality type. The information will help me in figuring out my future career because I am one of those people who has not figured out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I think the results will help guide me into the right direction for a career. Finally, after exploring the personality page links, I learned that I appear to seem like an extrovert but I am an introvert. The following means that I am so well at connecting with people that it seems like I am an extrovert. Also, I learned that I am strongly humanitarian in outlook. I am not surprised by this because I have been told by others that I am an individual who always tries to help make things better for not just a community but for others. Overall, I found the personality test to be very informative and I am definitely going to pay close attention to certain areas about my personality type to see if my personality really is like the test says it

Who knew the 16 Personalities Test would know my two of my biggest strengths which are being extremely creative and having dedication. I also learned that sometimes these good traits could get the better of me and hurt me if I go to far with them. Being a Mediator from the 16 personalities test I “combine their visionary nature with their open-mindedness to allow them to see things from unconventional perspectives.” They have a big imagination and are very creative also because of this many Mediators are poets and/or authors. Because I am very creative, it is not as hard for me to think of something extraordinary as much as it would be for other people. For example in my history class we had to write a story about Mr. LaFramboise’s past with

Overall, I believe that the test was fairly accurate in measuring certain factors of my personality so much so that it was difficult for me to find certain factors that I did not agree with. However there were two factors, E (dominance) and Q1 (rebelliousness), which I believe were a bit overrated in myself. Aside from these the test seemed to adequately define facets of my personality. For “warmth” (factor A) my sten score read 4, indicating that I am slightly more reserved and critical that easygoing and good-natured. I scored a 7 in “ego strength” (factor C), classifying me as more stable and emotionally mature and less emotional and changeable in attitudes. In dominance (factor E) my sten score read 8, meaning I am more assertive, competitive and stubborn rather than submissive, dependent and humble. I received an average score of 5 in “impulsivity” (factor F) indicating a slightly more serious and sober approach to the world over the cheerful and enthusiastic view. As for “boldness” (factor H), I received a sten score of 4 signifying a more shy and restrained approach to things as opposed to an adventurous genial one. I received a median score of 5 for “emotional sensitivity” (factor I) demonstrating my slightly more tough-minded and self-reliant view in contrast to a sensitive insecure one. For “imagination” (factor M) a score of 8, indicating that I am more imaginative, unconventional and absorbed in ideas and am less so for practicality and the prosaic.

The sixteen personalities test was the only test that I took which was why it was the most accurate for me. I am unpredictable, some days I will help people if they ask me for help, and one example of that is I was helping Greg Pelleran spell and read in resource. If that is not believable then just ask him and sometimes I would not help. My moods to help others is sometimes unpredictable. I could lose my temper in a spectacular way, if someone says something rude or offensive to me I could I get irate or I could laugh about it, but usually when I do get mad I will just be silent and try to calm down. One of my weaknesses that the sixteen personalities test listed is that I am unpredictable, and another weakness that the sixteen personalities

This assessment shows its strength by the fact that I feel as though it matches with my life. Through this, I have gain insight to the fact that I could be helpful but almost to the degree in which I could be harmful to me. While reading the description, I was proud at some parts and discourage at others. However, I do have the understanding that every personality-type as a flaw. This assessment was useful in terms of gaining insight to my motivation, strengths and weakness of my personality. This can be a useful tool to use with clients.

They describe most traits one would have. Although they are broad and can be construed in different ways. The report from the personality test described me fairly accurately. Although some people might think that they have a certain personality and may answer the questions inaccurately. What would happen if the questions were answered by someone who knows the subject very well? Would it be a different result? I believe that most people would fit into one of the big five personality dimensions, which are extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience. I also believe that people can have the traits of all five or a number of them at one time. I do believe that a person can perceive themselves in a different way then the results show. Looking at the results, helped me to see some things that I may need to work on to be a better person.

The Big Five personality test was created in the 1970 's by two independent research teams. One team with Paul Costa and Robert McCrae, and the other with Warren and Lewis Goldberg. The two teams had different methods that they tested but in the end they both ended up with the same results. The results were that no matter what culture, race, or language people have their personality fits into five dimensions of personality. The five dimensions were created after reviewing lots of surveys and data analysis called factor analysis. Now, just forty years later the Big Five is one of the most commonly accepted personality models.

There are a number of personality assessments available for clinicians to implement with the same intended purpose- to obtain a deeper understanding of an individual’s personality. Whether the answers to the questions are self-reported by the individual taking the assessment, or recorded by the clinician, the answers themselves are not what is most important. Whether it is related to a specific diagnosis, or a previous experience, these tests are administered to gain insight into an individual’s thought processes and psyche, and may be used to help with the diagnosis of psychopathology. Many of these assessments achieve their insight by asking a series of questions in a questionnaire format, while others use a technique to encourage the individual to provide information in their own way. One of these assessments is the Rorschach test, which is intended to use the answer to the assessment as a basis for determining the thought process of an individual, and determining a psychiatric diagnosis. While the Rorschach test may be a useful tool for gathering information and insight into an individual’s thoughts, its use as a diagnostic tool is debatable.
