My Latest Chapter On Personality Obsession

Improved Essays
This latest chapter on personality is eye-opening because it’s a fine line between a personality trait and an personality obsession. It’s kind of like one person can be neat and organized but if another person does that same thing just a little to much they have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Or how one person can be considered insecure but if the need constant attention they are Histrionic. I believe that this personality test will show how normal I really am. I won’t have any outrageous scores. My results were as the following: Openness to Experience/Intellect I scored a 59 in the Percentile. For Conscientiousness I scored in the 35 percentile and for Extraversion I scored a 22 in the percentile but in the Agreeableness I scored 69. …show more content…
Now I do get really nervous and anxious when I get stressed out. Thats why I probably scored so high on the neuroticism. When I get stressed I become tense and sick. I can’t help it either I have always been the kind of person that needs a plan and if I get behind on that schedule then I freak out. Like with these due dates in class, if I haven’t done something by the Thursday its due I get frustrated and screw up on everything. But when it comes to my family and friends I will stop at nothing to make sure there happy even if it means messing up on my school work. And the only way I calm down is by remembering that in two years from now I won 't even remember any of this. But what I will remember is the time I spend with my family and the activities I do with them. Now to dissect the conscientiousness category - I am a very disorganized person. I live in a pig pen pretty much but I and dependable and careful when it comes to certain things so I don’t think the score I got for that category is exactly right. I also find it funny that my score for openness to experience is so-so because I am an artist so how can I not be …show more content…
And I realize that personality disorders are serious and need a caring hand to work with but it’s not always a bad thing. It’s only bad when it is actually harming someones person or those around the person. Nobodies personality should be a burden to themselves or anyone else. The who idea of personality is suppose to be fun it’s supposed to be what makes us individual and stronger. Because if each of us has a certain thing to bring to the table then we can use it to make the situation workable in contrast to us all being the same and only knowing a certain amount of something. A example could be a group project where one person is creative and another is logic so together the make a awesome presentation. But if neither of them had that opportunity to bring their sharpened skill to the table they wouldn’t have a good project just a okay

    As previously mentioned, individuals with SPD are likely to enter remission over time. Research found that many individuals with SPD are found to have low self-esteem when it comes to identifying if they have status and wealth and successful intimate relationships (Ullrich et al., 2007). As Schizotypal Personality Disorder tends to first appear in children and adolescences, there is a good chance for SPD going into remission if situations are changed. Children and adolescents with Schizotypal Personality Disorder were found to improve when they were taken out of a negative environment and experienced positive achievement experiences and positive interpersonal relationships (Chemerinski, et al., 2013). Additionally, marriage and other positive social circumstance and role changes can also cause SPD to enter remissions (Raine, 2006).…
