Personality test

The test I took happened to be a personality inventory. Instead of being presented with an image and told to describe what i saw like a projective test, I was asked to rate myself on a scale one to five about how I function and my behavior. It is often called a objective personality test because its results come from comparing an individuals answers to the standardized norms collected from groups of people. I agree with the results from the personality test I took. I received close to the…

1. Some of the basic issues of personality theory are how to answer the following questions, what is the unconscious? We are influenced by own internal forces, forces of which we are unaware, have feelings towards, or urges we do not quite understand. “We face the battle of conscious versus unconscious determinates of behavior” (p. 17). This is the struggle that personality psychology tries to understand, how and to what extent the unconscious forces plays a role in human behavior. Are there…

commonly employed and examined psychological test in all of existence, The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), was originally developed by a psychiatrist and psychologist in the 1930's (Hathaway and McKinley), as primarily a means of assessing and diagnosing a wide variety of mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc...; personality characteristics, like psychopathy, narcissism, etc..., and general personality traits like ‘type A…

there are five controversial predictors when it comes to employment testing. Those five predictors are drug testing, polygraphs, integrity tests, graphologies, and genetic screening. Each of the predictors has their own set of controversies, but integrity testing is the predictor that caught my attention. Integrity tests are predictors that assess personality traits in future employees, such as honesty, trustworthiness, and dependability. If the individual is found to have low integrity, it…

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…

Strengths When I received my personality test results I did notice that most of the strengths it had me under were a correct fit for me as of right now. For starters I do feel as if I’m supportive. Anytime I have a friend who is going through something, a family member that is upset, or even someone I hardly know that seems to be hitting a rough patch in their life I feel that I should be there for that person. Next the test results showed that I am reliable. I know if someone is counting on me…

rest of my life. My personality craves challenges and I am not be satisfied unless I push myself.

Answering personality questions about myself on a website brought up my personality type. I found myself to be extraverted, intuitive, feeling and prospecting. According to this personality profile, I…

Having never taken the DISC assessment before, I was unsure about what to expect. I thought it was fairly accurate in many ways, but I felt that it very much tapped into what I consider my “work” self and did not cover much of who I am outside of that. I scored a high average score on the D spectrum. This seemed accurate, as I am relatively competitive overall, I like looking at the big-picture, I don’t mind taking risks, I can be critical of those that don’t measure up to my standards and I am…
