Personality Test

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

The Project 2 Assessment allowed me to see some personality traits that I hold (Project 2 Assessment, 2017). I found that I am an agreeable and open to experience personality. I will take opportunities to have power over a group setting. Although, at times I will agree with others opinions. I am an extremely motivated person that likes to get a head start on work. This comes from the fact that I am good with problem solving situations. It is always great to have the challenge of coming up with a solution to an issue. Another positive trait is my communication skills. I did find out that I am not exactly ready to become a leader. I still have maturing to do in my career to reach that point. When that time comes, I could see myself reaching

The test was interesting being that some of my weaknesses are listed. I see the test as an outline to the things I should work on. I have known for some time I really need to get things in order and make life easier on me with a lot of organization.

I have never taken a personality test until the Keirsey Temperament test. However, the results were not that surprising to me. I was placed in the guardian category, specifically provider and protector. The guardian temperament has many traits that I can relate to. “Guardians tend to be dutiful, cautious, humble, and focused on credentials and traditions.” (David Keirsy) Due to experiences in my past, I find myself often very cautious when making decisions and also when giving advice. The other words that stuck out to me in the description were focused and loyal. Specifically focused, I am a task oriented person and once I start something, I have to finish it. This is something most people that know me will point out also.

         Prepare a 1,750- to 2,450-word paper in which you compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of your selected personality assessment instruments.

I think one of the weaknesses that I have when it comes to trusting and believing in my intuition is that not all the time do I select the right answer or the right way of doing something. Sometimes rethinking may be required for me and in a few instances, I have had to rethink a couple of things because my intuition didn’t always pay off. Sometimes something can be so easy to do or to plan for that it’s not about intuition or anything else expect to do

Hello Classmates- The results of my assessment show that my personality type is an ISFJ, Introvered, Sensing, Feeling, Judging. So as in Introverter my main souce of energy is mainly in my own internal world. As a Sensor I believe information received directly from the external world. Feeling means that, I make decisions based on emotion. And Judging means that I organize my life and stick to a plan. Characterized above all by my desire to serve others, in a "need to be needed" way. I am often unappreciated, at work, at home, and play. I also prove over and over again that I can be relied on for loyalty and high quality work, but am also take for granted. Because of this I am horrible at delegate and would rather "do it myself if I want it done right." Although I might be treated like a doormat, I am unwilling to toot my own horn about my accomplishments because I feel that I believe credit is due, its somehow wrong to want some sort of acknowledgement or any sort of reward for doing my work.

After completing a personality test I have been classified as an Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging person (ISTJ). These four words represent my individual preferences in four dimensions characterizing my personality type. This personal could be described as an inspector who has a keen eye for what is right and what is wrong. ISTJ people know their responsibilities and are devoted to what they are doing. They run off a clock and always try to set goals of when their task should be completed. ISTJ’s can become really frustrated when other people fall through on their commitments. Although they are mad they tend to keep their feelings to themselves unless asked otherwise. They believe that truth is the key to everything. These people

In my personality assessment I learned I’m a, introverted, intuitive, thinking, and Judging (INTJ) type person. The most accurate description is that I’m only marginal (3%) introvert, which means, I can have more characteristics that apply in my world. I usually don’t volunteer to stand up and give a presentation, however, if asked to; I’m comfortable with doing so as long as I have time to prepare. I do find myself as one who prefers to be quieter while working. I enjoy pursuing perfection in all my work and tend to come across sometimes as over confident. At the same time, I am happy to share the glory of hard and success with others, and try to be as fair minded as possible. I do demonstrate an intuiting trait often. For example, I like

This essay identifies some critical reasons for why personality testing is still a key part of research today. It started by introducing a middle aged lady who was struggling with the loss of her unborn child and provided a test that could help identify her challenges and assist with a treatment. Subsequently, this essay provided commentary on four separate articles, which discussed the uses of personality testing within an organizational setting and the United States military. In addition, this essay discussed legislation concerning psychological tests throughout different states in the United States and the impact of not having the correct title and license in order to administer the tests and assessments to those in need. This essay also

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

I love personality tests and through the years I have taken many. I took this test at school and got the debater, this would be the first for this personality to show, its usually the messenger/campaigner, along with the entertainer, logician, or mediator. I am odd I enjoy both people and solitude therefore depending on my situation I will have an extrovert personality and/or an Introvert personality, the TED talk you showed talks about Ambiverts, I will have to look into this. The DISC site reinforced the Ambivert theory with giving me a 50% Extroversion on the work values test. This paper is about teamwork so I took the team test as well, that gave me a

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.

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.

I am ISFJ personality. That doesn’t seem to surprise me at all actually. I am very quiet so my job would be somewhere where I can be alone or in a small group which surprises me a lot because I do not like working alone at all. For my future career, it has me being a teacher, nurse, and social worker. I think this is accurate because I don’t totally wanna be a nurse but I do wanna work at the hospital. It says that I am bad at when I accomplish things I feel like I should be getting more which is also probably true cause I always want more and more. My strengths are my feelings and emotions. I don’t really disagree with anything besides that I like to work alone cause I would rather be with a group. I think this test is pretty accurate.
