Reflection On Personality Type Test

Improved Essays
In taking the personality type test my results indicated that I’m a reliable realist, who is strongly introverted and judging. The test also connoted that I’m slightly more sensing and thinking rather than intuitive and feeling. As a reliable realist I’m denoted as having a serious and quiet demeanor, as well as having the traits of being thorough, responsible, well organized, dependable, hardworking, and having the ability to accomplish most goals that I set my mind to achieve. The test also stated that I have high propensity for concentrating and that I strive for security and peaceful living. The analysis of my personality that I received from the personality type test accurately describes my personality. There are many ways to describe …show more content…
From the scale given to me on the test I would predict that out of a hundred I’m perceived as being fifty-five percent more sensing and thinking over intuitive and feeling. The test states that I have strong ties to both in the two groups but I’m more sensing and feeling. These descriptions of my personality are visible, in that when studying I always gather all the facts and to try and remember them, but I might occasionally apply something memorable to the information. The test states that I’m seventy five percent an introvert and that I’m judging. I’m truly an introvert, because when at family functions although I like to listen to the conversations around me, I prefer to sit by myself and read one of my many books. I’m not the type of person who needs to be around a lot of other people to enjoy myself and be comfortable. The test does mainly describe my personality accurately, but I do slightly disagree with one notion of the …show more content…
In trying to accomplish my goals and attaining the life that I want, like for instance in class or at work, I tend to be quiet and serious. The variation in my demeanor arise when I’m around family and friends. The reason that I don’t see the test’s description of my personality as wrong is because I tend to be more serious and quiet, with bouts of talkativeness and loudness. The test’s analysis of my personality as a reliable realist who is introverted, sensing when processing information, thinking when making decisions, and judging in structuring my life is eerily accurate. The way that the test set up the psychological functions so that they were on a scale, adds to the accuracy of the test because this shows that an individual is not just entirely sensing, but intuitive as well. This test is a great way to determine your personality

They can become frustrated and impatient when things don’t unfold according to their expected plan or time frame, evoking notions of the “Type-A” personality (Drenth, n.d.). Assessment two “Ambiguity” showed me something new about myself. Having intolerance of ambiguity means that you tend to perceive situations as threatening rather than promising (Robbins, 2008).…

    The results of my personality inventory indicate that I have a Type A personality (350 out of 380). Type A personalities are often impatient, have difficulty relaxing, and are competitive (Gray-Stanley, 2009). My impatience is evident when I take my dogs out for their bathroom breaks. As dogs will do, they sniff every bush in the yard before urinating and I find myself scolding them for being too slow. In addition, relaxation is not part of my vocabulary at this time as I constantly feel the need to complete homework or study for a test.…

    I found the results to be in sync with the Jungian 16-Type Personality test results which labeled me as an INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging) personality type. Additionally, the Prentice Hall’s Self-Assessment test results mentioned that those who highly value structure, self-respect and security over comfort and creativity resemble those in leadership or managerial positions. Also, in tandem, the results of my instrumental values are in sync with management as well. The results relate to high value I place upon truthfulness and dependability.…
