For this elective review I decided to take the personality test. Never before have I taken a test of my personality so I was pleasantly surprised by some of the outcome and generally expected the rest of the information to align with my thinking. Interestingly enough the results of the test showed the person that I believe myself to be, but at the same time demonstrated a person whom I completely disagree with being.

Some facets that express my personality well were orderliness, dutifulness, achievement-striving, and self-discipline. These areas are valid within myself because I operate with a high moral obligation to family values and personal principles. Having self-discipline affords me the opportunity to be honest with others and more importantly myself. I can admit when I’m not doing my best or if I was wrong about something.

I have all of the tools that can bring success towards me. I try not to depend on people to hand me the opportunity because the opportunity may never come. Lastly for conscientiousness, individuals will range in different areas from low to high, however, this is not necessarily terrible to score in the lower or average
