Personality

For this elective review I decided to take the personality test. Never before have I taken a test of my personality so I was pleasantly surprised by some of the outcome and generally expected the rest of the information to align with my thinking. Interestingly enough the results of the test showed the person that I believe myself to be, but at the same time demonstrated a person whom I completely disagree with being. However, can a test be both valid and invalid in itself? Is it possible for the…

understand the concept of being different; I felt that since we’re all human, we’re all the same. As I grew older, and I learned more about life, I realized that there are a lot of attributes that make every person different, the biggest being personality and identity. Every person is equipped with his or her own sense of identity, but throughout my journey in life, my biggest realization has been figuring out that nobody has a single identity, including myself. I believe that every person…

Personality is important when analyzing an athlete because it can give key information that will help determine what type of athlete the person is, as well as how dedicated they are to their craft.

Nothing brings me more joy than knowing that I was able to change someone’s life for the better. Now that I have participated in the assessments I know that my leadership style is one that follows my personality results which…

even neurological tests. These tests may give us sufficient information about a patient as long as it has reliability, and validity. The personality assessments vary in different fields from introvert vs. extrovert to rough vs. mindfulness. The first test assessed whether I was an introvert or extrovert. The second test was a self-reflection test. The personality tests used a sequence from most like me to less like me when choosing my answers. The question were based on how I would most likely…

ran straight into a metal tray leaving a nasty scar on my face, a nasty, permanent, scar. What did I do after receiving this bleeding gash on my face? I kept on running. I guess one would say that determination has always been my more defining personality trait. From as far back as I can remember I have always been the kind of person to stop at nothing in regards to proving people wrong. From the time my aunt told me I would “never add up to anything,” to the time my boyfriend told me I was a…
