Personality Tests Self Expressive Paper

After investing my 15 minutes on this test I found that this test was not credible at all. It was just a method of luring people to know about their personality and getting hits on their website. The test was utterly meaningless. The questions seemed to be simple yet direct in the beginning but later on they became repetitive and boring. There was nothing that could make me ponder over some aspect of my own persona.

As I reviewed my MBTI results, most of my percentages have not drastically changed over time. This gives me continued confidence in the following MBTI results which indicate I am an ?ISTJ?: introvert (16%), sensing (9%), thinking (31%) and judging (53%) (Jung Typology Test, 1998-2017).

However with advantages come disadvantages. For example, with correlational studies there is no background information obtained. Therefore, the reliability of the correlational studies is questioned.

One of The most common problems that I face in life, is the need to get to know myself a little better. Whereas it is easy for me and others to get to know other people, it is quite difficult to know who you are, what you like, and what your interests are. Fortunately, personality tests such as the ones that are included on this paper, were extremely helpful at giving me some insight about my own personality. As a result, both test indicated some aspects of my personality that I can agree to, and other perspectives about myself that I never took into consideration.

I personally think that this test got some of my personality traits but not all of it was spot on. It said that I am an

a. According self tests using the Five Factor Model, my personality has low extraversion and emotional stability, a high degree of openness, and moderate levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness. Low extraversion is demonstrated in both professional and social envionments. While working a corporate job as a financial analyst, taking the time and initiative to interact with coworkers beyond the scope of the job was limited to a brief conversation once a day with the same two people. In large social gatherings, interactions are limited to familiar people with whom I have pre-existing friendships. If I attend a concert by myself, I will bring a book to read in between musical acts to prevent people from speaking to me. Low emotional

I believe what these results say about me because I have found myself wanting to go out more and do exciting things which explains my 28% percent extraversion over introversion.

This personality test came out to be valid, measures what is says it measures, because it describes a lot about my personality. According to the test my percentage for introvert ranged from 83%-94%, meaning I don’t really socialize or get out much. A few years ago, there was a vehicle accident in front of our house. I used to live in front of the highway so we've seen many accidents, especially during the winter, but this time was worse than all of the others. It was around 1 a.m. when I heard a lot of banging coming from outside. I already knew it was an accident, so I hurried and put my shoes on then ran outside. My mother and brothers were already outside looking towards the accident. Once I seen it I ran towards the vehicle and helped those that I could. There was a man in the back seat that was already in heaven, bless his soul, but a lady kept doing CPR while he was sitting up. Another gentleman was on the floor in critical condition so I did everything that I could to keep him still and comfortable until the paramedics arrived. It was a crazy experience because that what my first time seeing a person die covered in blood. I just reacted without thinking, a big rush of adrenaline took over, and pushed my emotions back. Having this experience is what made up my mind about becoming a nurse. Helping people in need is something I focus on to get through and not give up. Which is why I think the test is valid, no one thought I would be the one to run towards the

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.

The big five personality test gave your results in a acronym (OCEAN) form. Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism are the words that make up the acronym. My results were Openness to Experience/Intellect- 96 percentile, Conscientiousness- 41 percentile, Extraversion- 64 percentile, Agreeableness-32 percentile and Neuroticism-49 percentile. Overall, I liked the Big Five website however I personally enjoyed taking the Jung typology test better as I thought that it had more accurate results. I liked how the Big Five test did not put you into a specific category and just showed your percentiles. It compared your percentages to others who have taken this test before which I thought was an interesting way to get

Some key personality concepts that define who I am is introvert, intuitive, intuitive feeling, and judging. Introverted intuition allows me to appreciate a better clarity of perception of inner unconscious techniques. It allows me to act spontaneously and insightful as original resolutions present themselves, on a case by case basis. Basically this means that I follow my intuition and not how I may sense something.

These tests are designed to inform us of our personality, and advantages and disadvantages that may come with it. The goal is to characterize patterns of behavior, emotions, and thoughts that a person has carried throughout their lifetime. Understanding these patterns of yourself and of those around you is beneficial for group dynamics. The more you know and understand your personality the better you will be able to see how others view and react to you. Personality assessments can help us locate and change our weaknesses. They can help us better understand our motivations, styles of communication, strengths and how well we work with others.

Over the last several days, I have been wracking my brain with ways to open this journal. I sit here, fascinated, with the fact that the Jungian Typology Test confirmed my introvert personality, along with even more relevant information regarding other aspects of my personality. I literally am reading the information you (Professor) posted in my discussion post about INTJ’s in the workplace and clapping aloud in amazement. I have always been captivated by astronomy, I absolutely love watching documentaries on the universe, dark/matter, black holes, etc. Seeing that my personality is the same as inspiring people like Stephen Hawking, Sir Isaac Newton, and even Hillary Clinton, is incredibly inspirational. But we are also, apparently,

Personality is a big part of who we are. Each personality is different. They all very in their strengths and shortcomings. Whatever type of personality a person may have, it is going to affect every aspect of their life. This is very true when it comes to their chosen career path. Your place of employment is one of the only places as an adult, that you can’t control who you interact with. It is great to understand how your personality can shape your career path, your leadership style, and how you interact with co-workers. A better understanding of your personality can help you create a better future for yourself.
