The Enneagram personality test results were very interesting. I took one of the two test that were recommended for us to take: The Enneagram User Guide test. The Enneagram Test allowed me to learn a lot about myself. I was able to confirm most of the results of this test, as most of the personalities predicted for me where true. The Enneagram User Guide test predicted that based on the answers to the questions that were given, my tritype was 4-5-8; 4 was my first preference and with 8 being my last preference. This test also included the wings that went along with my personality. Wings within the Enneagram personality test indicate where the person’s personality type mixes. This is because not every personality is pure and our individualism is due to the product of having mixed personality types. Type 4 is within the heart center of intelligence and perception, also known as the emotion center. The heart is based off of feelings, whether they are positive or negative. This type is focused on success and relationship. Type 4 is known as the romantic. I feel this to be very …show more content…
This really does go along with my personality because as I mentioned before I struggle with trusting others. In order for me to trust another person I must gain a sense of security with the other person and feel that I am able to relate to them. I think about how I may benefit from their friendship and how they can help me be a better person. I am somewhat surprised that this was not my second or even first personality preference. Trust is a very important to me and I struggle trusting others. I would say at times that it is my weakness because I constantly think on scenarios where I get hurt from putting my trust in the wrong person and it causes me to be a more introverted person. It’s hard for me to make friends, however, when I do learn to trust a person, I show them who I truly am and I don’t have any
Thomas Chou's use of Ennegram gives nine personality types to distinguish what type each person is. The Enneagram is one of the newest personality systems to become widely used, and is best known for its ability to identify psychological motivations. The Ennegram provide insights into how other people see the world differently, and it has become particularly popular within the self-help and personal growth movements. The nine types of Ennagram given by Chou are: reformers, helpers, motivators, romantics, t...
During the power point on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, as the instructor went through the different types of personalities, I was able to recognize which subcategories I fall into almost instantly. When my computer personality test results were returned, I was correct. As I read the type descriptions of Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging- ENFJ- I quickly recognized myself within the descriptive words.
I pride myself in knowing that people can declare me extremely trustworthy. In everything I do, I establish myself as someone anyone can count on, from school work to their deepest secrets. While attending hospital occupations, I have made enduring
My personality type is Extroverted, intuitive, feeling, perceptive or ENFP. According to the description in the exercise, ENFP's are warm, enthusiastic and live their outer life more with intuition and their inner more with feeling. This assessment is consistent with the results that I received in part I of the exercise. I am an extroverted person who enjoys being around and working with people.
Trust is the one thing in this world that lots of people desire. Who wants to have any type of relationship without trust? It is not something that should be automatically given though, trust has to be earned. People should not automatically trust just because they know them or have been knowing them for a while.
If I had to pick one that I feel suits me best, it would probably be number nine. Type nine is also nicknamed the peacemaker or mediator. This describes me pretty well as I hate conflict and just wish everyone could agree to disagree. According to the results, at my best I am peaceful, patient, and diplomatic. I have to agree with these traits for myself, as they are also described by my two colors, specifically blue, from the True Colors Quiz. It also informed me that I am forgetful and apathetic on my worst days, this couldn’t be more of the truth, though I find that I am forgetful even on good days. When I am having a bad day all I want to do is go to my room, curl up in bed and sleep. I tend to not care about things that I normally do care a lot about. One of the things in the results that I absolutely love is that I love discussion but hate confrontation. I love talking about controversial subjects with people who are mature enough to agree to disagree. One of the practical suggestions for nines is to avoid acting like everything is fine when it is not, this one speaks directly to me. I always pretend that everything is fine even when it clearly is not, and this course has helped me learn that I really need to work on
Within the Jung Typology Test (JTT) it states that my type of personality is introverted, sensing, feeling and judging. The results indicated I am an introvert over extrovert, the score showed 56%. There was a marginal or no preference to sensing over intuition at 1% for this result. Moderate preference to feeling over thinking at 25%, and a strong preference to judging over perceiving at 78%. So this is saying that I am an introverted sensing with extroverted feeling.
When viewing myself I see myself as loyal, hardworking, dedicated, and honest. I never thought of myself as a judging individual however, thinking about my personality test results I discovered that I don’t open up to people at first and that trust must be built first; perhaps this is my judging traits coming out.
When you first meet someone, the first thing you notice about them is their personality. They way they carry themselves or how they proceed to talk to you can give you insight as to what kind of person they are. Every single person on the planet has a different personality, and that is what makes us all unique in our own way. According to the American Psychological Association, personality is defined as an individual's differences in characteristic patterns such as thinking, feeling and behavior (“Personality” 2016). In class, I learned a lot about personality and the many different theories that early researchers came up with. There are two theories that I most agree with and that fit into my personality and beliefs would be, Freud’s psychodynamic theory and Rogers humanistic theory. Both of these theories have given me a better understanding on my own personality and the way I carry myself.
After taking the survey, my results depicted that my primary style of thinking is Affiliative. I find this someone accurate in how I live my life, however there are characteristics I exhibit which diminish my affliliative personality. I find that I am continuously trying to find that perfect relationship or bond with someone. Frankly, I find it hard to make connections with others because my continuous need to be perfect. I find that my closest and best relationships are those who have common values, way of living, and ideals about living life. Once I find a relationship that is trusting, I try to maintain it to my best ability. I am very easy to talk to, however my best communication is with others that have the same values. I express my liking for the other person by showing some generosity and kindness.
When I took the Jung Typology Test I received the letters of ENFJ which stand for extrovert, intuitive, feeling, and judging. I was happy with the results that I received because I thought it was spot on with how I usually act in my day to day life. For instance, I received extrovert which holds true to the way I act in that I am very outgoing, and I am never shy to approach people and strike up a conversation. This would come as a shock to people I was friends with in high school but after putting myself out there
Trait approach covers the big five personality traits: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. These five traits have been identified as the most identifiable personality traits, even across cultures and societies. According to McCrae, Costa, and Busch’s (1986) study on personality system comprehensiveness, the big five personality model included the five traits most identified with by individuals asked to describe themselves and others. I found this segment of the class especially intriguing as it helped me not only learn so much about myself, but also take a deeper look into the personality of my family, peers, and even strangers. I am also more conscious of how I self-monitor my personality traits. For example, I am very much so an introverted person but at times I try to be extroverted based off the environment. In highly social environments, I consciously smile and try to talk to people because I want to be perceived in a favorable light, not actually because I feel the need to be sociable. In other words, I don’t want to be perceived as odd. I believe I developed this form of self-monitoring because when I am introverted at social events people will constantly ask me if I’m ok since I’m quiet, which makes me uncomfortable as they make me the focus. Being the center of attention makes me anxious, and therefore to prevent that I have developed being a fake-extrovert to avoid it. This exemplified how I apply self-monitoring to my everyday life. Trait approach gave me insight into how to identify vastly accepted personality traits, as well as, how each of these traits can be influenced and
I remained very shy and quiet except around those who were close to me most of my childhood years. After connecting the dots and reflecting upon my shy personality, it all comes back to events that occurred with an old best friend. In elementary school, I had a best friend who consistently deceived me and went behind my back. Being raised carefully I am able to keep that trust with people, but due to past events with a friend I have found that it is extremely easy to lose that trust and is hard for me to gain
I have always had a hard time learning how to trust people. The one person I found that I could trust with everything was my sister Brittany. I could always go to her and let her know if I had done something wrong. She would assure me that she would not tell anyone if I didn’t want her to. I knew all my secrets would be safe with her and that nobody would find out unless I told them. This was very important to me because I haven’t had very good luck in finding people whom I can trust. Brittany has never told anyone a secret that I told her. Knowing that I could trust my sister with anything helped make our relationship stronger.
You may be one of the people who have never had any problems with friends, so you trust people more. Maybe you’re someone who’s scared of being alone so you need friends there to help you cope with your fear. To have a good friendship, you have to have trust. If you don’t trust your friend, well, they’re not really your friend. I think you should be able to tell your friend anything that comes to your head.
