Personality Test Comparison

I took two personality test and scored what I think is pretty accurate. The first test I took was created by a church but still accurate in the psychology field. By taking this test it would help you figure out if your personality is one of the four types of people. The four types are choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic or melancholy. Choleric is in short words adventurous, determined, outspoken, and strong willed. Next is Sanguine which is playful, sociable, lively, and imaginative. Phlegmatic is said to be thoughtful, adaptable, attentive, and controlled. Last is Melancholy which is detailed, orderly, persistent, and deep. On this particular test I took a series of questions and gave an answer that best fitted me. In doing so I found that I have a primary and secondary personality. My primary personality was Phlegmatic which means I’m relaxed and chilled out so to speak. My secondary personality was Choleric in term means that I’m kind of commanding but like to get the ball rolling.

After looking at the results, the writer understood some of his own tendencies and consoled himself that he did not have to good at everything. He opined that the knowledge of these personality types can help in developing a deeper understanding of people around him.

The purpose of this paper is to examine a synopsis of three different common personality assessment tests. The paper discusses the comparisons and the contrasts of the Sixteen Personality Fact Questionnaire, Rorschach Inkblots, and Self-Help Books that are use to assess personality. All of these assessments were design to help

The Extraverted criterion in the ESTJ personality type indicates an individual’s social activities and the expression of the self in the external world. With my 1% score in Extraversion, I do not have a significant preference for Extraversion over Introversion. The implication of the marginal score is that I am more likely to regulate my attitude on social activities and seriousness based on the environment. This test reminds me of my 20-somethings. I used

Overview of results: I scored in the Low bracket on Extraversion compared to the general population. My raters and I disagreed significantly on my level of E as the self-other difference was above .50. Further, my raters slightly disagreed with each other regarding my level of E as their SD was between .41-.80.

Next, extraversion refers to the range of extraverts-introverts: sociable to unsociable, lively to unlively, active to inactive, assertive to unassertive, and sensation seeking to predictive live style. McCrosky et al. (2001) found that extraversion is highly related to traits of assertiveness and shyness (p.361). Extraverts have many friends and enjoy being around other people while introverts have a few intimate friends and enjoy spending their time alone. The traits in extraversion are expansive in size and direction.

I definitely believe that there is a benefit to using both the personality test and the intelligence test. People argue the validity of the tests but, it’s more beneficial for an organization to use assessments rather than not. The personality assessment helps to distinguish if an individual is fit for the job. For example, an introvert might not be the best person to hire for a sales position. Not to say that they wouldn’t do well, but someone who is introverted might have to work harder in a social atmosphere. They might not bring as much profit in sales compared to an individual who is extroverted. I think that the use of these tests is a great way to filter through many applicants. It can save the organization time and money. The intelligence

I took the big 5 personality test and scored over 50% in 4 traits. The trait that I scored the highest in was conscientiousness. I scored 97% in conscientiousness and can honestly say that I can relate to this trait. When it comes to a project I never give up no matter how difficult it may be. I am also very organized; I always keep my room clean and reorganize my purse daily. Punctuality is also important to me; I have never been late to work throughout my entire life. I usually plan accordingly so I can always make it to my appointments on time. Another trait that I scored high on was agreeableness. I scored 91% on agreeableness. Daily when I’m crossing paths with strangers I usually shoot them a smile and tell them hello. I am also very

Extraversion is one of the five core personality traits described in the big five theory of personality. This trait is characterized by sociability, assertiveness, emotional expressiveness and excitability. People who are high in this trait are often described as being outgoing ad talkative, while those low in this trait are described as quiet and reserved. An extroverted disposition ; concern with what is outside the self rather what is inside.

This paper will go over the founders of assessing personality, how it changes over time, and how the theories of personality have changed. It will also include the main trait theories and what it means when you assess your personality

The results of both my personality and career tests were either somewhat true or completely off to what I believe the results should have been. To begin with, my personality test was correct in the areas of conscientiousness (work ethic), agreeableness, and natural reactions. However, was false in the areas of openness to experience, and extraversion. The results stated that I was a traditionalist, down-to-earth, practical, and conservative individual, but, in actuality, I have an imaginative, open-minded, and experimental personality. Moreover, it also stated that I was a very reserved, formal, serious, and quiet person. This is fairly true, but I am also an outgoing, friendly, and assertive human being, who likes to work with others.

First of all, I have never taken one of these personality tests before and I must stress that it is quite an eye opener. Immediately I got my results I shared it with my boss, who was quite intrigued and wanted to take it herself. So, thank you.

There are many personality measures, and each one offers its own unique insight into what makes you who you are. Personality assessments cover a lot of ground, but all aim is to identify a person strengths, weaknesses, temperament, and style of leadership. In my opinion, I do feel that personality tests are misleading because one can be caring, compassionate and humane without being talkative and sociable. Being sociable is simply a common, and trivial, interpretation of having people skills. But in a professional setting, people skills often mean listening, reflecting, and having sympathy. Likewise, one does not need to be talkative or outgoing. Having people skills, then, really has nothing to do with being introverted or extroverted. Though

In conclusion, all the four assessments showed my leadership qualities and areas need to be enriched. Student leadership inventory showed the three areas I need to focus which are 'Inspire a Shared Vision, challenge the Process, and Encourage the Heart'. Success in enterprise and in life has been, is now, and will continue to be a function of how well people work and engage with each other. Success in leadership depends on our capacity to build and sustain collaborative human relationships.

Recently I have taken a personality test and I was placed in the category of ESTP or the “Entrepreneur.” ESTP means i’m extrovert, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. Later, traits were given to me which turned out to be very true. Two of these traits were impatient and risk-prone. Without realizing it before, I have thought of many experiences that can prove these traits to be true.
