1.A. Personality Test: Guardians
I have already done this kind of test more than twice before, and I always got the same result, which is ISTJ. This website didn’t tell which personality type I have, but they told me I am a Guardian (SJ’s), and ISTJ is one of the four types of Guardians. The part that I totally agree with is that I am following the rules and cooperating with others, not very comfortable blazing new trails, cautious about change, honor customs and traditions, and believe in law and order. Many people say that I am very tradition and somewhat conservative, but I am also kind of flexible and open-minded. I understand others and love what others think and see, but I just have my own strict rules for myself.

I think I am a pretty nice person who listens and embraces other people and tries to do all works in order. When my two friends took the quiz for me, the results were different. One result was 13 out of 19, which is still high but lower than my result. Another result was 11 out of 19, which is high but lower than other two results. One skill that no one marked during the quiz was ‘have people acumen- able to judge, grow and coach people.’ I really agree with this because I am not good at judging and coach people. I feel like I am not good enough to coach others even though I do my best at work. I don’t want others to get hurt by me or hate me because of my acumen behavior. That one is the weakest skill I have. I try to be accommodating to others as much as possible and understand their mistakes. I think many people already know what mistakes they had and they know as many as I know. I think I don’t need to point out their mistakes or weaknesses, but I like to point out and compliment their strengths and good …show more content…
It says that I am fairly adept at interpreting other people’s words and actions and seeing things from their perspective but the rare misunderstanding may occur. I agree with the result because I think I am a good listener than a talker, and I can interpret their meanings. I found many interesting facts during the test. When I was taking the test, I feel ashamed of some questions that I am not good at, such as “I try to divert or end conversation that don’t interest me.” I always listen to everything even if a conversation doesn’t interest me, but I usually don’t focus on the conversation that doesn’t interest me when I talk with my family and boyfriend. I found out that I am doing two behaviors to two different people. For example, I try to stop my boyfriend in mid-sentence if I disagree with his statement, but I never stopped my best girlfriends in mid-sentence even if I disagree with them. I realized that I am too comfortable when I talk with my close people and usually miss what they think and say. I only spend more time and focus on my friends and other people in church and school. I need to pay more attention to the message I am receiving from my close people, especially from my boyfriend and my mother. I like them the most, but I was a bad daughter and girlfriend who don’t listen

    According to the Jung Typology Test, I have the personality type "INTJ". This indicates that I am mostly an introverted, thinking, and judging personality. While I consider these characteristics to be natural tendencies that I have, it is important for me to remember to avoid using labels as excuses for who I am in the flesh. I have a "moderate preference of introversion over extraversion" (humanmetrics.com) according to the test. I am shy and reserved around most people, and I often find a lot of group interaction stressful.…

    The Keirsey Report asked good questions to really help me think about what kind of person I really am. I concentrated on the wording of the questions, as you went further along I felt I could see the flow of the questions. Then I realized the questions were not asking me the same thing just worded differently, each question was truly different. Each question really made me question the scenario, and try to place myself in such a scenario. I would ask my 16-year-old son, and my husband what they thought and several times we had same answers.…
