IPIP NEO, 16 Personality Test, And The Colour Quiz

Improved Essays
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. What mood set I was feeling as I took those tests had an important role as to what results I got. My previous personality tests indicated that I was very shy and hidden from society. The results said that I am emotionally unstable due to the feeling of isolation and that I lack motivation. I already knew for that I was feeling helplessly down that my answers would lead to the results mentioned.

This self-assessment was spot on it was a tad scary; Extraverted I enjoy social interaction and being in slightly intimidating situations. Intuitive seeing as I love to learn about other people's perspective on things because my ideas aren’t necessarily the only or best ones out there. I enjoy creating hypothetical situations and sometimes just wonder... Thinking, the majority of the time I think more with my mind instead of my heart because sometimes that’s just a lot more practical and most times has better outcomes (in my opinion).…

    Assessment one “My Basic Personality” showed that I was indeed an ENTJ. Those of the ENTJ personality type are born leaders. 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.).
