The online test scores are relatively accurate compared to my self-ranking scores. The only marked difference is observed in Neuroticism as my online test score says that I am neither “nervous or calm” while I consider myself someone who is easily stressed in certain situations. The low scores in both Openness to New Experiences and Extraversion confirm that I am not only a conservative, but also an introverted person. I received a high score for Conscientiousness and Agreeableness confirming that I am self-disciplined and compassionate to others. 5. My proposed future profession is becoming a pharmaceutical scientist working in drug research. My personality assists me in becoming an effective professional as I am well-organised and diligent when it comes to completing tasks on time (2). When working in groups, I not only am a reliable and productive team member, but I can also co-operative with other members (1,2). I am also aiming to develop medication to help others, which hopefully can aid in alleviating their pain. However, in situations when I am required to do individual work, I will work more efficiently as I am a quiet and independent worker (2). My personality score for Openness to New Experiences is low indicating that I work well in established environments, such as drug research, where I would follow strict protocols and would not be required to design new interventions or methods (2). Therefore, when working in this particular profession I would not be anxious
The Myers and Briggs personality test is unlike many of the personality tests you will find randomly online because it was designed to examine the ways in which you focus on the world and make everyday decisions. After taking this test myself I have found out a few things about myself that I did not really notice before. According to the Myers-Briggs test my personality type is INFP, which stands for Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perceiving. At the start of this test I had no idea that I was considered an introvert because as far as I can remember I have always loved being around people and never really thought about things before acting, which is the exact personality of an extrovert. The end of this personality test has a section that describes the different traits of those under that category and as for what it says about me I do feel that it matches some of my traits to a tee, but at the same time I feel like there are a few traits that are a bit off. Perso...
According to the IPIP-NEO personality assessment I am average when it comes to extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness but, rank low on the neuroticism and openness to experience categories. When I read the title ‘openness’ I assumed that it would mean friendly or something along the lines of that. After I read the description of what openness truly means I was a bit offended at first because I believed the score was telling me that I was not a smart person. As I read deeper into the meaning that the assessment gave I realized that “down to earth, practical, and conservative” (Johnson) were not insults but adjectives that I would have chosen for myself, minus the conservative part. Conservative is not a word that I would ever use for my way of thinking and that one section of openness to experience did not correlate with me. I am not a person who likes to think critically and that may be the reason why I dislike math so much. I refuse to
At the end, I disagree and agree with the test results because it somehow shows where I am at within my level of personality. When my received my results, I was shocked because my expectation was the complete opposite. I wish I had someone to explain to me why my view and the test results were different when I took the time to complete all 300 questions. I agree that self-report cannot be reliable compare to having a psychologist test an individual. Hopefully retaking both test will have different results than the first time I have taken it.
Confidence is key in the working world. It shows that a person is self-assured with their work. Positivity in one's work can help promote positivity in the entire workplace which is pleasing to employers. However people that score high in the neuroticism trait tend to "...worry more, … (are) insecure, … (are) self conscious, … (and) temperamental" (Lebowitz). These are all negative traits to have in the workplace. Employers do not want any kind of negativity where they work because it can discourage people from getting protective work accomplished. Businesses can be driven into the ground by workplace negativity. So it is reasonable to see why employers would not want the negativity any where near their business and that's why they typically will not hire people that give off any type of negative feelings. Neuroticism is typically tied to the “Dispositional effect," which is a predictable use of a trait, and as the "negative affect... (it is) characterized by distress, anxiety and hostility; it is reflected in a generally grouchy, unhappy, and unpleasant demeanor" (Personalities and Careers). Negative emotions can turn people away from a person and scare off any and all employers. It can also scare away customers for a business. During our class, we scored around the same as the national average, which is right in the middle on the one to fourteen number scale. This means that we are pretty much in control of our emotional side and that we are fairly confident in all of our
Neuroticism boldly contrasts with the other personality traits in the Five Factor Model for personality (Openness, Agreeableness, Extraversion, Contentiousness, and Neuroticism). An individual being high in any of the other four traits could hardly be considered pathological. For example, high levels of agreeableness, within reason, would probably be considered to be a positive and healthy characteristic. However, the discussion regarding neuroticism certainly takes a darker turn. Gunthert, Cohen, and Armeli (1999) in their study, operationally define neuroticism as a predisposition to experience negative affect (negative emotional systems). Lahey (2009) defines it slightly differently, as the tendency to “respond with negative emotions to threat, frustration, or loss.” More generally, the personality trait is characterized by anxiety, angry hostility, depression, self-consciousness, impulsiveness, and vulnerability (Cervone & Pervin, 2010). Neuroticism has critical implications outside of personality psychology. Some researchers suggest that neuroticism is significantly correlated with both physical and mental health issues more so than any other personality trait variable. This increased risk is not just for a particular group of pathologies; neuroticism has been linked to Axis I and II disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) across the board (Lahey, 2009). In some occupational performance studies, negative affect was negatively related to job performance (Kaplan, Bradley, Luchman, & Haynes, 2009). This may be extrapolated to individuals high in neuroticism, as it the trait is the predisposition for the experience of negative affect. Research on daily stress and coping showed th...
The Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) is a widely used personality inventory. It has sixty questions using a Likert scale that measures five personality traits: OCEAN – openness (to experience,), conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. My overall results from the NEO-FFI were low in neuroticism, low in extraversion, high in openness, average in agreeableness, and high in conscientiousness. Likewise, my results were fairly consistent with what I had originally perceived my scores to be. Overall, I do agree with my results since there were many consistencies I recognized. Yet, at the same time, my behavior could fall into both categories of high and low compared to the norms. Additionally,
The results that I have obtained from the personality assessment were: INTJ. These results identify that I am an introvert; I tend to be intuitive; I am a thinker; and that I need closures and feel the need for things to be organized or structuralized. I personally believe that the results I have obtained from this assessment truly reflects who I am. If I contemplate about it, I need to be able to grasp onto things before processing the next information, especially when people are telling me multiple things at a time. I enjoy to be myself and sometimes, around a group of other people. But, I mainly tend to study alone and stay to myself rather than engaging with other people. In addition, part of my intuitive resorts to me assuming certain things without using any sort
After taking this personality test I could not decide if I felt that my results were accurate about me or not. The personality test resulted in describing me as an extravert, intuitive, feeling, and judging (Humanmetrics,
Openness, the first area of the personality test, is described as a person’s ability to think in abstract, complex ways. In this section, I scored a 70% which means that I am moderately open to experience. People who are creative, intellectual and adventurous tend to score higher, whereas people who are dull, practical and more concretely focused tend to score lower. Since I scored moderately, I fall in between both
The 50 item Australian Personality Inventory (API; Murray, Judd, Jackson, Fraser, Komiti, Pattison, & Robbins, 2009) was used to measure each of the Big Five personality traits; openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. The API indicates that I am higher on neuroticism than conscientiousness (33 and 26 respectively). Furthermore I scored higher than average on extraversion (36) and openness (36) while scoring slightly lower than average on agreeableness (37). Therefore…
The results described me as being low on extraversion, average on agreeableness, high on conscientious, low on neuroticism, and low on openness to experience. Looking at my final scores, I see that the test did a very good job of characterizing how I think my personality is overall. I believe the test worked extremely well in capturing my personality. For example I am an introvert. I do not like having a large group of friends and I would never walk up to someone I didn’t know and began talking to them because that makes me extremely nervous. The test really summed up my personality and how I act on a daily basis. What I thought was really interesting was looking at the break down of each category. The neuroticism category was very amusing to me because it says my self-consciousness was high. I do know that I’m very aware of everything and I’m very sensitive and get embarrassed easily. Even though people try to make a joke about me even if we’re related or I’ve known them for a while I still get embarrassed, so I try to remain invisible in a sense. I think the test worked very well o...
After taking the Big Five Personality Test I’ve concluded that it is a fairly accurate assessment of my personality. 1) On Openness to Experience/Intellect I ranked at the 53 percentile, with the description that I don’t typically seek out new experiences. I would agree with this assessment. While I am somewhat creative, I am no artist. It takes me more time to do something creative than something analytical, but I do still like to be creative on occasion.
that test was my personality type which is (ISTJ) Introvert, Sensing, Thinking and Judging. I
In class we read four stories about immigrants and their experiences. Out of all the stories the one that touched me and I could relate to the most was “No Speak English” by Sandra Cisneros.
One of the most prominent trends in organization today is the use of team to accomplish the work, which have assigned to an individual. Every team is made up of specific individuals and they are specialized in certain area of interest. If one of the specifications is missing It can be reflected on their performance. It indicates that, every individual is important for the organization. An individual’s performance within an organization and its relationship with its subordinates and coworkers is highly influenced by the Big Five personality traits. My Big five test results depicted that I am traditional/conventional individual with significantly high percentile of conscientiousness and agreeableness. I also have lower neuroticism and slightly
