I took the test again at a different time and got a slightly different result. Despite the fact that the results were different, they were pretty similar besides one letter. The downfall to this exam is that humans are incredibly complex and cannot just be put into one category such as one hundred percent introverted or extraverted. Most people are a combination of both which is not a bad thing. Another negative aspect of the Myers- Briggs Indicator is that taking a test like this may hinder persons potential.…
A weakness that I have is that I do not know how to say no to individuals that ask me for help since I love to help people. It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.…
When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…
Who am I? For some people the answer to this question is simple. They are able to answer this question without much thought. However, while some find solace and pride in answering this thought provoking question, it has always stirred in me a feeling of angst and confusion. These uncomfortable feelings emerged because of my interracial background and upbringing.…
I find that the sixteen personalities test was more accurate for me because tests with more questions and outcomes would become more accurate. According to the sixteen personalities test, I am a “Defender” The personality exactly explains me with these quotes, “Excellent analytical abilities.” and “Found in lines of work with a sense of history behind” This would be true because I gathered nine of my friends and surrounded a bully while I went and got the teacher, this all happened in second…
Do What You are Assessment When I initially took the "Do What You are Assessment" the findings were inconclusive and misleading. Originally, I felt like the results of the assessment were vague and didn't describe me whatsoever. The test pretty much told me that I was withdrawn from emotion; I was someone who wanted to think logically, only wanted facts, and I just wanted people to work in a neat and organized fashion. Those characteristics might describe me in my work life, but in my personal life I am completely different, so after taking the test I shared my negative feedback with the online assessment.…
The initial assessments methods all in some way have their usefulness. However, some may have more advantages over the other when evaluating their overall effectiveness. Resumes and cover letters are written from the viewpoint of the applicant and the information provided controlled solely by the applicant thus providing possible significant problems when assessing the validity of the information. According to our reading “résumés posted on its website and found that nearly half (42.7%) had “significant inaccuracies.”…
The test results appear to be pretty accurate on my personality, however, I did disagree with one of the results. Some of the parts that I did agree with include that the test shows that I am well-organized, introverted, and that I generally tend to worry about things. However, I scored low on the “Openness to Experience/Intellect” aspect which I don’t think reflects me. I believe that I belong more in the high scorers area because they tend to be more creative, curious, and complex. This test was supposed to help me find out more about my personality, however, I personally don’t think that it did a great job at that.…
There is a lot of controversy over personality testing as well. The most common criticism touches validity and reliability of this method. Annie Murphy Paul in her book “The Cult of Personality” questioning validation and reliability of personality testing. She says: “often invalid, unreliable, and unfair”. She describes personality test as an industrial astrology and critics this form of assessment as “slippery, often underground, hard to monitor and measure “In her opinion very often tests are conducted by people without qualifications and it is leading to misinterpretation of tests results.…
If I had to rate myself it would have to be at least a two and a half. I thought that I did pretty well with the organization and presentations of my writing. With Ideas and sentence fluency I could have done much better. Those two sections with my writing were the weakest in this essay. I think if I thought about a better way to make my transitions into paragraphs my grade would have improved.…
For my second well-being strategy I focused on gratitude. I wasn't surprised that this was one of my best-fitting strategies because I firmly believe in the power of gratitude. In order to make sure I was expressing gratitude every day I decided to make my evening prayers focused on only expressing thanks. This also takes a little from the spirituality activity since I would be focusing my gratefulness on God, even though it wasn't one of my best-fitting strategies (which did surprise me). I had thought of gratitude as simply saying thank you for something, however, my view changed after reading Lyubomirsky's perspective.…
Career Assessment When I was told we were going to be taking a personality test, I was really at the least enthusiastic about it. In high school I was taken through countless tests that would “find the perfect job” for me, and they never seemed to help. This Jung Typology test was different, I was pleasantly surprised. The questions were much more motivation based instead of interest based. For me, interest based tests are unreliable, considering the fact that I am interested in everything.…
Personality tests have been a way for people to figure out their strengths and weaknesses for decades. These tests also help determine jobs that would be suitable for the person based on their personality traits and how they would respond to a situation. The two personality tests that I will be evaluating and testing today are the Jung Typology test and the Holland Code Quiz. Using these two tests, I will be able to discover what traits I have that are my defining features as well as the jobs that are recommended for the selected personality.…
I took three individual personality tests to discover if they are credible and correct to how they relate to me. The three personality tests were the IPIP NEO, 16 Personalities Test, and the Colour Quiz. Before taking these personality tests, I believe that they do not work. I have actually taken a few personality tests while I was taking therapy lessons for my depression and anxiety issues. It seemed like the questions I had answered portrayed how I felt during the time.…
Ever since I could remember, I have always been skeptical about personality assessments because I simply assumed they all have high levels of generalizability. However, this class has helped open my eyes to the different forms of personality tests and their benefits. I never took the time to think about the different forms of determining qualities of an individual’s personality. Whether it is a projective test (e.g., the Rorschach Inkblot test) or objective test (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory), psychologists have utilized multiple forms and variations of personality assessment to aid individuals, and psychologists, in better understanding that individual. It is important to note that the personality assessments outlined throughout…
