There is a reduction in error because there is no proctor present and the instructions are easy to read.…
According to Stenudd (N.D), Carl Jung’s theory on archetype referred to fictional type-roles like the hero. However, archetypes were also keys that symbolize human’s personality and values. Furthermore, some archetypes could be seen as mixes of other archetypes. Followed by the explanation of Golden (n.d), Jung defined 12 primary types that shown the personality of the character, motivation, and set of values. The Jungian theory suggested the primary archetypes of Self: self, ego, shadow, persona, anima/animus. This theory was applied in analyzing the complex characters in the film (Gunston 2004).…
The Jung Personality test is also known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which is an assessment that is designed to help someone who is taking the test understand his/her preference towards perceiving and judging information through four categories; Sensing vs. Intuition, Thinking vs. Feeling, Perceiving vs. judging and Extrovert vs. Introvert. After taking the assessment, the results indicated that I have a slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion (22%). I also have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%) as well as a moderate preference…
According to Jung Typology Test’s result, ENTP is my personality type. The accuracy of personality tests are doubtful for me. They seem to me like the given descriptions by horoscopes, any one gets this result would probably think it was he or she, especially since it is mostly praising. So that, I looked at the weakness to figure out whether ENTP describes me exactly or not.…
I must say that I do agree with the results of the test, but there are some aspects of it that I feel to be untrue. In general, I have to always stay busy and involved with various activities. I like being around people, leading, teaching and stimulating others into positive performances. I also like to act on things as opposed to just talking about it. Other people view me as having an outgoing personality. I also am able to relate to and have friends from all walks of life. On the other hand, I am one who does have to think things through, plan ahead, and am very structured (with things in order). I think that I am more a Sensing personality than a Intuitive one. I am more practical and a more hands on individual. Meaning, I often use and trust my experience before words and symbols. (Humanetrics.com, 1998-2011)…

The test determines one's personality type based on four parameters – an introverted/extroverted…

Among Freud, Jung, and Adler, Freud is indisputably the most towering monolith. It was Freud's pioneering use of the term "the I" "das Ich" in his native German, which was then translated into the Latin "ego" that brought "ego" into common parlance and popular interest to the process of self-consciousness. Adler's school of psychology, which he called "Individual Psychology," was based on the idea of the indivisibility of the personality. His most significant divergence from Freud's premises was his belief that it was crucial to view the human being as a whole not as a conglomeration of mechanisms, drives or dynamic parts. And in contrast to most psychological thinking of the time, Adler believed that, fundamentally, human beings are self-determined.…
In the Myers-Briggs Type indicator/Jung’s Typology Test results I scored ENFJ, which stands for extrovert, intuitive, feeler, and judger. These results seem extremely accurate to me. I do enjoy spending time with people, talking to them, and trying my best to understand them. People fascinate me yet I find it difficult to open up to the people around me, which is a common characteristic among ENFJ’s. Being intuitive, I tend to look at the big picture rather than detail. I rely on my gut rather than my conscious. As a feeler, the decisions I make tie in with the values I grew up learning, leading with my heart and naturally gravitate towards people. Lastly, as a judger, I am super organized! Having a preference towards planned and settled activities.…

Based on the career matches of my interest profiler by the University of Phoenix, I am conventional, enterprising, and realistic. Conventional meaning that I like a routine in my daily life. I am always striving to maintain a normal flow in my life and I don’t like when things change abruptly. I like the idea that I know exactly what is going to occur when I get to work each day and it has always been like that for the past 7 years or since I began my job as a data collector. The equipment changes, but it’s always the same procedures. I truly hate when someone tries to make some real drastic changes at work. Conventional can also refer to someone who prefers to work with data or detailed information. That’s probably why I do real well at my job collecting data on a daily basis. Saying that I am enterprising is saying that I would like to be a leader and someone who makes important decisions and also be able to take risk and like the business aspect of things. I was a leader for many years while serving in the United States Army and I led my soldiers in carrying out numerous tasks on a daily basis. Performed countless exercises throughout my military career. I took charge and made some very crucial decisions that involved lots of risk, while putting the life of my soldiers in danger ways. I tend to be a very realistic person, especially at home. I spent a lot of time tending and caring for my garden. It keeps me very occupied throughout my weekends at home. I also like to work on my cars and constantly doing modifications to them. Being realistic also involves working outside and I love the outdoors. Being outdoors make you enjoy life to its fullest, by appreciating nature and all its living creatures. I could not take an office job ever again, so I hope so. So based on the results from the interest profiler, I am not one bit surprise by the outcome. This is who basically I am.…
The career interest profiler shows I am mostly investigative, with a score of 30. Considering my background, I strongly agree with the results. Investigative interest deals with thinking rather than working with or leading people. Investigative people tend to look for facts, and try to figure out problems. I am the type of person who likes to work alone, because it is the most efficient for me. Working alone allows me to think more comfortably, rather than discussing a solution with everyone.…
After reviewing John Holland’s personality descriptions, I felt my evaluation with the O* NET profiler was correct. I am artistic based on my interests, need to be expressive, independent, open, and original (Niles & Bowlsbey, 2013, p. 70). After reviewing this list from Holland’s description of Artistic, I realized I fit this group in more ways than I had first understood. My list of traits could easily incorporate all of Holland’s examples. This was also the case with the social category according to Holland. I relate with traits like social, cooperative, sympathetic, and helpful. I think this grouping incorporates my interests and passions towards my goals for Clinical counseling (Niles & Bowlsbey, 2013, p. 71). .…
Who would have thought that such a little booklet could contain such personal and accurate information about each individual’s personality simply by filling in bubbles to answer simple multiple-choice questions? Upon first glance, I thought that “The Keirsey Temperament Sorter” would never be able to correctly depict my personality. However, I still managed to fill out the questionnaire in a careful and truthful manner despite my convictions. After taking the personality questionnaire, my results showed my personality type falling under the category “Idealist” as an ESFP. To my surprise, I found this to be quite similar to how I would describe my own personality type. By further research, I determined that ESFP actually stands for extraversion, sensing, feeling and perceiving. The description described an ESFP as a friendly person who helps others enjoy life. Also, it stated that they tend to make warm and enthusiastic friends and are more likely to pay attention to details and value a realistic approach to solving problems. Taking into my major in nursing at MSU, I decided to research if this would fit my ESFP personality type. After reading the ESFP description more thoroughly it gave several career suggestions such as nursing, child care, restaurant work, sales and counseling. Also, it mentioned that ESFP’s look for a job that is fun and prefer to work with others in groups.…
