The Multidimensional Coping Inventory personality test looks for what kind of coping strategies are people more inclined to use. It looks at problem-focused coping, emotion-focused, and avoidance coping strategies. On the problem-focused coping it measures the inclination for someone to actively cope, plan, suppress completing activities, restraint, and the use of instrumental social support. My scores for these were all high compared to this mean. This indicates that when I have a problem I am less likely to avoid the issue and more likely to want to immediately fix the problem. I am the type of person who cannot just sit there but needs to immediately make a plan and will use her resources such as friends to help her in making that plan.

It goes off of two scales, the avoidance scale and the anxiety scale. Specifically this test focuses on how you feel in romantic relationships. It tests more generally as opposed to only the relationship you are in now. My score on the avoidance scale was a 67 which relatively high compared to the average norm for college students. To me this indicates that I am not comfortable with being close to people and relying on them.

This means that in general I do not get too worried about how availbale my partner is and that I am relatively fine with some space. Although I do appreciate if my partner is more …show more content…
This test was originally created in order to see which people were type A or type B because it was shown that Type A people participated in activities or behaviors which were prone to heart attacks. On this scale I scored a 12 and compared to other college students it shows that I am above the mean of 8.4 which means that I have more Type A tendencies. This result was not surprising because people who know me have referred to me as very structured and someone who gets under a lot of stress if there is no plan for an activity of some sort. Also a question that specifically stuck out to me were the questions about problem solving because when I am under stress it is really hard for me to just sit around and do nothing I have to be productive. Also I have always been very driven and goal-oriented. I always have to be working toward something and if I don't I feel like I have no purpose and it makes me anxious. Furthermore, I have always aimed to work hard and could never be one of those people to just “go with the flow”, frankly those people worry me sometimes. All these examples are very type A, and contrast to the Type B persons who are usually more easy going and take their time with
