Personality Analysis
Going into taking these assessments I had absolutely no idea what kind of result I would receive. I always find it very nerve racking taking a test and awaiting the results, especially when it is going to potentially describe my personality. The way an assessment basically knows who you are by just answering a few questions continues to blow my mind daily. After finally completing both and getting my results, they seemed almost spot on. There were some similarities between the two assessments but then there were also some on each that were not mentioned on the other. Seeing my results makes me believe that those traits that are not so good, I can change and evolve myself into someone better for future endeavors.

The S in DISC is about how I handle change and that I am not always good at letting things go. The F in the personality assessment relates to how easily it can be for me to get hurt. As I read the information from both assessments and pieced the puzzles together I could definitely see how this aspect comes into play with my life. Often times I let those who should not have any sort of effect on cause me to be super upset and when this happens I am unable to let the situation go. Both of those factors play into the S and F of the …show more content…
Moving on to the last letter for DISC, C, it relates to how I can handle rules and procedures set out by others. To me when I look deeper into that meaning I notice myself kind of annoyed at the situation that someone can have so much authority over me and neglect to see where I am coming from. Adding with that the last letter of the personality assessment J is best understood as the organizational part. Looking closer at the last two letters you can see the connection they share. In previous situations I have noticed myself getting more annoyed at various situations when someone who had authority over me used too much power and made me feel as if I had been belittled. There have come times when varieties of issues have arose and I have had multiple ideas that I feel would work better in that particular time, but those who have more authority over me look past my ideas and carry on with the same ole thing that has not seem to get them over the issue. Sometimes I find myself past my point of annoyance and ready to go

    Personality tests are widely used these days in both professional and informal settings. One may take a personality test online, for example; in order to determine how much like a film character they are, or they may take one in an employment process or clinical setting. This essay, however, will only be looking at formal tests. The tests have many uses, including recognizing psychological disorders or calculating future behaviour (Plotnik, 2002). It is important to note that personality tests are like any other instrument used to increase understanding of a topic and, like all instruments and methods, their use can cause both affirmative and undesirable results (Anastasi & Urbina, 1997). We will look at both projective and self-inventory tests and compare their methods in terms of their validity and reliability. There are many different personality tests available today but we are only concerned with the Rorschach Ink Blot test (henceforth referred to as the Rorschach), the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2 (MMPI-2). Before the discussion of validity and reliability of the tests it is essential to comprehend just what personality is and to obtain an elementary outline of the three tests being discussed.…

    The accuracy of this test was limited to my exact personality. Some of the similarities that the test had with my personality are easy going, kind-hearted, and composed. The best way to describe my overall personality is easy going and this test hit it on the nail by saying that. I have always just went with the flow and never made a shift in the current. A characteristic that I have in common with the test’s description is being kind-hearted and compassionate. This part of the test was accurate in saying that I am good at finding what others are feeling and show compassion for them. This is one of the consistent characteristics that SPPS has brought before me.…

    Throughout each of the personality tests took this semester, there is not much surprise in accordance to the way the results came out. First, in the "Big Five" Test or also known as Five Factor Model for Personality Dimensions, the scores for each category (Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness to experience, and extroversion) are absolutely right. Conscientiousness is described as the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses (IPIP-NEO, 2014). In this category, I scored 99/100 (high) which means that I am referred to as reliable and hard-working because I set clear goals and pursue them with determination. Agreeableness reflects individual differences in concern with cooperation and social harmony (IPIP-NEO, 2014). In this category, I scored 46/100 (average) which means that I have some concern with others needs but I am unwilling to sacrifice myself for others. Trust is an attribute that people are not just give but need to earn. Helping other people really does go a long a way it is an enjoyable thing, but when people decide to take advantage of that there is no sympathy. Neuroticism is described as a condition by mental distress, emotional suffering and an inability to cope effectively with normal demands of life (IPIP-NEO,…

    The acronym OCEAN stands for those 5 traits, which are: open or closed to new ideas, conscientious or negligent, extroverted or introverted, agreeable or antagonistic, and neurotic or calm. The test has the same format of "agree or disagree" questions as the 16Personalities one did, as well as the questions having almost identical subject matter. However, the results of this test is handled differently. Instead of giving you a set type like in the Myers Briggs assessment, they total up how much you have of different personality traits, which include five factors: extroversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and intellect/imagination. The higher you scored, the more of that trait you had, and if you had a low score on one of these, it could mean you're introverted, neurotic or unemotionally stable, critical or aggressive, impulsive or disorganized, or open to experience. I thought this was an interesting and well-done way to evaluate personalities, since they tend to be in a large, broad perspective of traits, and not everyone acts the same. My scores on this test are listed…

    The assessment results come out that I am an “ESFJ” person and my Holland Interest Codes are “ASC”. During the assessment test I scored a 28 on artistic, a 25 on social, a 20 on conventional, an 18 on enterprising, a 9 on Realistic and a 5 on investigative. As you can see, some of my scores are really close together, however, the three that stood out are artistic, social and conventional. After reading all of the portraits, I would say I learn more about myself; however, there are some descriptions and points existed that are different with what I think about myself. Artistic people are people with artistic ability and appreciate making original work. They like dealing with ideas rather than things. I didn’t expect “A” as my highest code because I would say I enjoy dealing with things rather than ideas. The reason why “Artistic” has the most points is that probably I am interested in photograph and the test guides me to “A”. However, I just enjoy stopping along the way and shooting the…

    I took both tests within one day of each other, to avoid an influence from one test on the other. After completion of the Keirsey test, I found the results to be surprisingly accurate, especially its description of the way my type makes decisions and view important choices. As for the Jung Typology test, I found it to be only accurate in generalities; the same way a daily horoscope found in the back of a newspaper would be. Both tests consisted of more than 60 questions with only two possible answers, all of which I answered with an open mind and honesty. The Keirsey test described my personality as a Rational Inventor or (ENTP), in it I found deep connection with its key characteristics, specially the first paragraph where it describes how this type of personality “is always trying to build a better mouse trap”(Keirsey, n.d., para1). From a very young age I found myself fixing radios, televisions and toys. Tearing things apart and putting them back together was a favorite pastime of mine, now as an adult I still display the desire to build a better product in my workplace every day. This contradicts the Jung Typology test, which described me as an ESTJ or Extravert Sensing Thinking Judging; according to their description this personality “thrives on order and continuity and is content to enforce the…

    According to the test, my personality type is ENFJ (Extraverted Intuitive Feeling Judging). For extraverted my percentage was 56, for Intuitive 38 percent, feeling was 50 percent and judging was 67. This numbers describe me as moderately expressed extravert, moderately expressed intuitive, moderately expressed feeling, and distinctively expressed judging. I believe this test is partially right. I’m easily sympathized for others. I don’t feel I judge a lot, so I think this part is not too accurate, unless I’m unaware of this personality. The extrovert part, I also believe this part is inaccurate because at times, I follow my instincts, but at others I rely on logic.…
