SSCI – 203
Homework #3 Personality Test The test that I chose to take is called the IPIP-NEO (International Personality Item Pool). I took the condensed version which is 120 questions long. It scores you on Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience. The scores go from 0 – 99. It can be found at www.personal.psu.edu/~j5j/IPIP/. The reliability of this test is high. I took it twice and both times I scored close to the same in each category. The construct validity of this personality assessment is accurate because it measures what it is supposed to measure. It measures all the traits mentioned above. Reactivity for this is low. I didn’t change my answers just because

    The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment. "Perception involves all the ways of becoming aware of things, people, happenings, or ideas. Judgment involves all the ways of coming to conclusions about what has been perceived. If people differ systematically in what they perceive and in how they reach conclusions, then it is only reasonable for them to differ correspondingly in…

    Since the test is 144 questions long, it can wear down the subject and lead them to answer honestly instead of trying to manipulate the test into certain results. The way the results are given are also a way to try to minimize manipulation of the test since each of the types have a variety of characteristics, with some overlap, it makes it hard to choose results in a way to guarantee a type. The answers available in the test are either statement or skipping the question, which is similar to another well-known personality inventory, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and it is one of the ways that the MMPI ensures a high validity from its test (McCord 2018). The RHETI has low construct validity which is roughly, whether the thing being measured by the test is real or not (Cronbach and Meehl, 1955). This is because the types of the Enneagram are defined by characteristics which are correlated with each other and form a personality type which contradicts the big five personality trait approach.…

    Others the results were right on target and the test described me very accurately. As I mentioned I am a reserved person that I select when I will allow myself to be the center of attention and be part of the spotlight. As a result, I have concluded that I am a very passive person where I tend to stay on the sidelines and observe what might be going on. I was shocked the type of profession would best suit me. All though I have chosen a very different profession.…

    The Myers-Briggs Personality Test is an assessment tool used to offer insight into how individuals think, function, and thrive (Myers & Briggs Foundation, 2016). The results of my Myers-Briggs Test revealed that my personality was ENFJ, extraverted, intuitive, feeling, judging (Humanmetrics, Inc. , 2016); my temperament was NF, or idealist (BSM Consulting, Inc., 2015). A Worldview is an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual framework by which you view reality, make sense of life and apply meaning to every area of your life (Kahlib Fischer, 2016). Worldview and personality type combine to construct a lens for how we view, interact with, and react to our environment. Step 1 Extraverted…

    The analysis results from the various self-assessments have afforded me the opportunity to notice hidden aspects about myself. I have been able to perform contemplative and thorough self-examinations of my personality in order to determine viable methods to enrich my overall personality. It has been my experience that organizational behavior in many ways are similar to the institutionalized behaviors exhibited by those in orphanages or prisons. The similarities reside in the fact that the workplace is an environment where people from very different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities and religious beliefs find themselves compartmentalized into an environment, directed towards a new way of life and then ordered to play nice…
