Inevitably, I have learned many personal skills and people skills while growing up. Although I have always been aware of my various personal skills, I have never actually taken any assessments to gauge my personality, interests, and values before taking this class. After taking this class, I have learned a lot about myself and the various career paths available to me. From the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test, I scored as an INTP personality type. As this personality type, it states that I am a logical person who is quiet, contained and flexible. Moreover, it states that I am skeptical, sometimes critical, and always analytical. Although I do agree with some of the information it states, I feel that I identify more with the ENTP personality type.
The Beck Depression Inventory is a testing tool which is used to evaluate the continuation and severity of the symptoms of depression, as recorded in the DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2000). The test includes questions which asses the symptoms of serious depression, which may possibly call for hospitalization. The latest revised edition replaces the BDI and the BDI-1A, which includes items intending to indicate symptoms of severe depression, which may require hospitalization. Items include been distorted to specify increases or decreases in sleep and appetite. The most important purpose of the new version of the BDI was
They suggest that measuring one’s characteristics such as sociability, drive, self-determination and demeanor can aid one to better interpret and discern them introspectively. By taking the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) I am able to compare my personality traits to careers in which I may enjoy, will fit my individual personality and enable me to be successful say Drummond, Jones & Sheperis (2016). The results of my self-administered inventory are as follows; Introvert (I) 55%, Intuitive (N) 76%, Feeling (F) 86% and Perceiving (P) 67%. The four dimensions of the inventory seem to be very accurate for the manner in which I view myself. The result of INFP suggests that my personality shows a predominant association with being in a career in which I am able to care for others, such as a healer. This is a correlate with my first career as a firefighter and
This experiment focuses on the average personality traits of Texas A&M students, which we evaluate using descriptive statistics. We can use descriptive statistics to subscribe, show, or summarize data from a population in meaningful ways. By calculating multiple factors taken from the population, we can find the central tendency and variability. These two values gives us the most important information. The central tendency gives us the most typical or most representative score. These central tendency values are mean, median, and mode. Variability gives us the extent to which the scores in a group differ from each other. These include the range, average deviation, variance, and standard deviation. In this report, by examining the
Nothing feels better than giving back to a place that has given so much to people. A majority of the little things that we do day by day are taken for granted or they are just seen as nothing major. In reality there are so many things that are given to us and we do not always see the little things in life as anything of mass importance. For our kindness project we decided that it was time for us to give a little to ensure someone had a smile at the end of the day. We partnered up with the Rho Nu club here on campus and together we made tie blankets. These blankets that we made will be donated to the Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane later this month. We decided to do this project in the hopes of giving a little, but making it count for a lot more. We hoped that the children receiving these blankets always get a smile on their face or simply that they just find comfort in these blankets. In this project I was the leader of the group and I did most of the organization of
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.
From the first survey, Jung Typology Test, I figured out that my personality type is ENTJ. ENTJ stands for Extravert, iNtuitive, Thinking, and Judging. It means that I am outgoing, rational, and perceptive. Prior to this test, I only have a slight idea that I might be confidence, logical, and have a talent in management. After taking the test, I got confirmed that I am indeed the type of person I think I would be. In addition, the extra links under the result gave me information about what potential occupations I could take in the future by giving me a thorough interpretation of what ENTJ really means. Honestly, I am going through a time of struggling: I am not sure about my major and what I could be at the career fair. Although I vaguely think that I may want to be a manager working in the technology-related areas. The result tells me that I am suitable for managing resources in companies as well as one of
Assessment techniques and the techniques used are a part of every counselor’s career. It is important that all counselors are aware of the different assessment procedures available as well as the risks and benefits associated with them. I chose to assess the case of Jessica, a medical resident, who has a very high pace and stressful job. She is also a perfectionist and can be very self-critical. Lately, she feels that she is not performing at the level she once was. As a result, she has been experiencing feelings of shame and worthlessness. Jessica has also been increasingly fatigued yet is having difficulty falling asleep at night. She also admits having difficulty concentrating, little interest in sex and has become increasingly irritable
Personality simply can be defined as the character of someone. It is the set of emotional qualities, thinking, ways of behaving, feeling and so on. Personality differs from one person to another. Similarly, my personality is also quite different from others. I get a chance to know about my personality by trying a test which I have never tried before.
After taking the personality test, some of the things I already realized I do or are too familiar. The test labeled me as in an INTP, which stands for introvert, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving. Introvert basically means that you’re more focused on the internal feelings and thoughts within the person rather than the things that are on the outside. I always find myself trying to read a book whenever I’m just sitting around the house and sometimes I just want to be alone and I want peace a quiet. I know that when I’m at work, I always try to put some headphones in so that I can’t hear anything else around me. Although I’m not really listening to the headphones, I give off the illusion that I don’t want to be bothered.
Being an INTP means being a highly analytical and pensive person and I find that I fit this personality type to a tee. However the article also claims that the P (Perceiving) trait, has a 3% difference from the J trait. This means that I may have characteristics from both INTP and INTJ. As the description for INTP claims, I am often lost in thought, to the point that I can cleanly detach myself from an ongoing conversation, and still nod and say yes at all the appropriate times. I am also an argumentative person if I believe my beliefs and person are being challenged. Another point the article shines light on that resonates deeply with me is the characteristic of having a haunting sense of impending failure, however this is where I notice myself

You can see below the results of two personality tests I have taken. The results differ due to the questions asked but the personality types are similar. From me personally, I would say that I am more ESTJ than ISTJ, but I have qualities in both of them. I would guess a 60/40 split. What is interesting is that my personality of ESTJ is the complete opposite personality that would be asked of a teacher. ESTJ is the personality of someone with a supervisor position, maybe a dean or principle would be a more appropriate career for me, but that is not what I have a passion for at this time. I will not let this "most forceful" personality test result stop me from my goal of becoming an educator. Instead, I will grow from this and work with my students'
With my personality type being ISFP, I have learned that I am able to collect a large amount of information at one and that I am able to think before I speak. I would strongly agree with this personality type. I put other people’s feelings before my own. Another thing I have learned is that I should find a job where I am able to work with people and find a job were I will be able to make good use of my ability of being able to understand facts. My possible strengths would be to make being feel comfortable and valued.
An introverted intuitive thinker otherwise known as an INTP personality type is who I am.
According to my personality test it says that ISTP’s are open and straight forward in their communication. I do say that I would have to agree with this. When I am communicating with someone, I like to be open and straight forward most of the time about what I think. Even if they do not ask for my opinion; some people may be able to see it on my face. I do not hide much of what I am thinking, so I am open about the communication.
