Sapa Vs Big Five

Although this test is interesting, what everyone must realize is that people are way more complex than any personality test will tell them. No test can be 100% accurate for everyone and it shouldn’t be taken as gospel. This test organizes everyone into a box; learn from it, but don’t let its walls limit

My Big 5 personality test results showed that I’m more closed minded, and prefer traditional and familiar experiences. It also states that I’m more “conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, and uncreative” (The Big Five Project Personality Test, n.d.). I do not agree with this at all. I actually find myself to be very opened minded, probably more opened minded then anyone I’ve ever met. My Jung test results identified me as an ENFJ, which illustrates a creative and idealistic personality. I think because the Big 5 personality test has fewer questions relating to this particular assessment, the test did not accurately capture my personality trade for being either closed minded or open to new experiences. I agree with the rest of my Big

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.

When discussing the accuracy of personality tests, there is no test, which will provide perfect precision. According to Dr. O'Neil, “an individual's personality is the complex of mental characteristics that makes them unique from other people” (2006, Para 1). O’Neil believes that the potential factors involved in shaping personality include values, beliefs, and expectations that are genetic and environmental (O’Neil, 2006).

I feel that my results depended on who was taking the survey. Adding other techniques of personality assessments, such as interviews, direct observation, or situational testing, would help to get more accurate results. Certain people in our lives will see us in different ways. My parents knew I was a little rebellious when I was a teenager, but my adult friend and husband wouldn’t agree with that at all. My husband knows how I can be impatient sometimes or pessimistic, but a friend or co-worker might not ever know that about me. According to Barbara Engler (2014), “psychologists regard personality as a person’s unique long-term pattern of thinking, emotions, and behavior” (Coon & Mitterer, 2016, p. 384, Engler 2014). With this type of survey, I think that the traits with the most checkmarks are the traits the person has more consistently than the traits with just one or two

The human mind is a highly researched subject that we still have much to learn from. Personality tests provide us with some capacity to understand our own mannerisms, and the areas we must grow in to become more well-rounded leaders. To gain a greater understanding

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.

I found the test results of the Big Five personality assessment to be an interesting and very accurate description of myself. After completing this assessment, I was able to analyze my personality in depth. I found this information to be helpful knowledge and provide insight about myself, as well as being crucial in examining my personality traits. The big five is also referred to the OCEAN model of personality, and stands for the main traits used to describe personalities. This acronym stands for openness to experience/intellect, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. After taking the test I was then given percentile scores that allowed me to compare myself with other people who have taken the test online as well, therefore making it a more meaningful comparison.

The Big Five is a personality test asks questions about how you see yourself. Some questions were “I see myself as someone who tends to find fault with others” and “I see myself as someone who does things efficiently”. Each question is answered on a scale 1 (strongly disagreeing) to 5 (strongly agreeing). The test is around 45 questions long. Scores were represented in percentiles so that comparison could be made between people. The percentiles were based on groups determined by location and age. My scores were for someone around the age of 18 in North Carolina. My book character’s scores were from people around the age of 17 in the UK.

The need for another personality test seems small. Personality tests have been in use in American since 1943 when the Meyers Briggs was first published (OPP, 2015). The field is now very diverse. With the Meyers Briggs and Smalley’s Animal Types on one end to What Star Wars Character Are You? On the other, these tests run the gambit from serious to funny, and then on down to time wasters. To really prove your usefulness, a new test must fill a niche in the market. Something only your test can provide. However the 34 vaguely worded themes give no great bit of detail to really

Personality tests are beyond easy to find these days. All it takes is a few clicks from your keyboard and google will present you with thousands, if not millions of personality quizzes. However, some tests happen to be more legitimate than others. Recently, I took one such test at the Career Center at Eastern Florida State College. My results were sometimes correct, but seemed to be slightly off at other times. I did really enjoy taking a test built in this format though.

Some of them I felt were truly accurate, and some of the others showed me characteristics of myself I’ve never realized that I am, like a very defiant individual because on two out of the three we took it seemed I couldn’t really be put into a certain category. The Myers-Briggs test was the only one exception because it had you definitely put into one, single group. My result was that I had the Advocate personality, in the Diplomatic arena. It said I was, “a very rare category, making up less than one percent of the population, but that they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As members of the Diplomat Role group, Advocates have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is that they are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting, positive impact. And though soft-spoken, they have very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in.” Which I believe is pretty spot on for me, though I would have never been able to come up with that description of

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

Have I ever took a personality test that answer will be no I have not taking one but will like to take one to learn more about what type characteristic shape my personality. I would expect the personality test to show my caring ability, motivation levels and strength ability. Also I would like to test tell me about my social skills as a child I did not have good social skills now as a adult I have better social skills do to self confidence that I lack as a child. My personality has grown since I was a child. A personality test will open many doors to my colorful mind.
