5 Personality Tests According to the Garner’s Multiple Intelligence’s Test, I found myself scoring high in Logical (Number Smart) and Intrapersonal (Myself Smart). Followed by Naturalistic (Nature Smart), Interpersonal (People Smart), Linguistic (Word Smart), Musical (Music Smart), and the lowest score was in Kinaesthetic (Body Smart). The second test, VAK Learning Styles Self-Assessment revealed that I scored high in the visual learning style, then the auditory learning style, and the last one being kinaesthetic learning style. The third test, Keirsey Temperament Sorter-II, indicated that my personality type is that of the Artisan. There are four types of artisans: Composer (ISFP), Crafter (ISTP), Performer (ESFP), and Promoter (ESTP). The fourth test I took was the Big Five Personality Test. This test shows that I ranked high in agreeableness with an estimated 83% of other people who took this test that had scored lower than me. The final test I took was the Jung Typology Test. This test revealed that my type is ESFJ (Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging). My highest percentage was a 38% in feeling.
