Personality is defined as the organized pattern of behavioral characteristics of the individual, according to www.dictionary.com. I recently took two different personality tests. I have to admit, I was very impressed with the results. The first test I took determined if I was Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic, or Melancholy. I had ten descriptions for each category. I totaled seven in the D/Commanding Choleric section, four in the I/Cheerful Sanguine section, five in the S/Calm Phlegmatic section, and eight in the C/Clever Melancholy section. This means that I am primarily Melancholy and secondarily Choleric. My understanding of the word Melancholy is that I am sensitive and introverted, meaning that I would rather be to myself and I am not outgoing. This is exactly how I thought of myself. I feel like others cannot be trusted sometimes and other times I just feel like it is more stressful for me to talk to other people so I just keep things to myself most of the time. I also pay very close attention to details when I am doing any task. I am sort of a perfectionist. When things are not perfect of the way I want things it causes an issue for me. I am also goal-orientated. I set a goal for myself and I do not let anything come in the way of me accomplishing that goal. I may have some rough times trying to reach that goal but I always come out on top. Now my understanding of the word Choleric is that it is in some way the same as Melancholy but it still has its differences. When I say I am Choleric this means that I am determined, dominating, and outspoken. Basically it is my way or the highway. I want everything done in my own way at the pace that I set, which is usually right at that very moment. My basic desire, according to the test...

...de because I show no emotion and this could cause me to lose customers. Some of my results I did not agree with. For example, when I researched my personality type on www.16personalities.com it said that I was patient and had the ability to concentrate. I am very impatient and I am easily distracted especially when under stress. Other than those two descriptions I think that these tests really helped me further understand my personality. I do hope to change a few things about myself in the future. I want to be more caring and open to people. I do not want to give off any bad impressions to anyone any more than I already have. I believe that if I began to trust people more my personality would change tremendously. Overall, I really enjoyed both of these tests. I hope to take more time out to research more about my personality just to see if anything changes over time.
Personality is the individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. To me, personality means uniqueness. It is what sets us all apart from one another. Personality psychologist has coined five different traits into the Big Five. It consists of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. Extraverts are people who are relatively sociable and outgoing while on the opposite end individuals who are introverts are people who would much rather enjoy the company of close friends and family. People who are high in agreeableness are more likely to be trustworthy. Those who are high in conscientiousness are goal-oriented. Individuals high in neuroticism
While taking this test and reading about the information that was provided I was not really surprised about what information was given about my personality. I am 95% of what this test says I am. This exercise helps very little because I arty new 95% of the information is going to give me, it is a good tool to give you that support he would need if you are doubting yourself.
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,
In conclusion, personality is a term that refers to the many patterns of similarities and patterns of differences among individuals. There are various ways with psychologists have examined individual differences in personality including the use of genetics. Through this method, psychologists have mainly examined biological underpinnings that contribute to individual differences in personality. While these measures provide some insights regarding personality, individual differences in personality cannot be adequately explained with reference to genes because of the weaknesses of these theories and the effect of environmental factors.
The first personality test was the basic personality test. The assessment from the basic personality type indicated that my personality classification is an ESTJ (Llorens, 2010). The results found that I am more extroverted than introverted; I tend to be more sensing than intuitive, more of a thinker versus a feeling individual, and I am judging versus perceiving. The interpretation indicated that I am realistic, logical, analytical, decisive, organized, and I like to run things. The results were interesting, the analysis and interpretation was extremely accurate to my tendencies and my current role in my organization. The result provided me with insight to my tendencies and approaches to situations that I face each day as a leader in a multi-faceted organization (Llorens, 2010). Additionally the results indicated that my personality type matches my career aspirations as an Executive Program Manager in a corporate setting. Understanding and accepting my tendencies as an ESTJ personality type helps me be more introspective and insightful of my approaches and how I treat people and convey expectations will make me a more aware of weaknesses and strengths and use the knowledge to improve how I engage with others.
The term personality depicts a profoundly ingrained example of behavior and the aspect in which individuals understand, relate to, and ponders about themselves and their world. Personality traits are distinguished characteristic of personality and are not necessarily pathological, although undoubted styles of personality may induce interpersonal problems.
Personality is a set of individual differences that are affected by the development of an individual: values, attitudes, personal memories, social relationships, habits, and skills. Different personality theorists present their own definitions of the word based on their theoretical positions. The term "personality trait" refers to enduring personal characteristics that are revealed in a particular pattern of behaviour in a variety of situations. Personality can be determined through a variety of tests. However, dimensions of personality and scales of personality tests vary and often are poorly defined.
Utility of assessment. Why are these types of personality assessments useful? Did you find the results useful? Why or why not?
I think overall the test was very accurate in describing my personality type. I am a nurturer, kind-hearted, and want to believe the best in people. The portrait of ISFJ’s was spot on, however, I disagree with some of the relationship weaknesses. They described my personality to be very emotionally needy, with a difficult time leaving a bad relationship, or moving on from an ended relationship. I have to disagree with this because I feel I am the type of person that once you lose my trust in a relationship, I am done with trying to make that relationship work. Once I have something against a person, it’s hard for me to over-look the issue, and just keep staying in the relationship. I am very independent and don’t rely much on others for my
Personality is a “dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences his or her cognitions, motivations, and behaviors in various situations (Americcan Psychological Association, 2014).” Psychologists have been trying to understand the complexity of personality and how it affects us for many years. One portion of this understanding is gaging what traits are associated with what personality types. In other words, defining the many types of personalities there are. The human mind is not so easily generalized but many psychologist agree to set broad categories on personality. This is evident in the types of personality tests commonly taken. Two of these tests are the Big Five and the MBTI, both of which I took.
Personality is a branch of scientific discipline that studies temperament and its variation among people. It is a dynamic and a set of characteristics possessed by their atmosphere, cognitions, emotions, motivations and behaviours in various things. Personality conjointly refers to the pattern of thoughts, feelings, social adjustments and behaviour consistently exhibited over time that powerfully influences one’s exceptions, self-perceptions, values and attitudes. It also predicts human reactions to different folks, problems and stress.
Although some would argue that their results are nowhere near correct, I would say that mine were, for the most part, spot on. I did conjure up a few disagreements; however, a more detailed and longer test might be able to give me a more in depth and accurate rating of my personality. The conclusions of my test say that I am moderately open to experience, highly conscientious, moderately extraverted, and high in both agreeableness and
The first temperament is melancholy. Melancholies are introverted sensitive perfectionistic. They have unrealistically high standards for themselves, and others. They want things to be a certain way, and when they are not they get distressed. Many people with a Melancholy temperament wish to understand the details of everything in life. The reason is because to be uninformed is to stray from perfection. They assume the worst out of situations.They are very pessimistic people. They usually ask very specific questions. They do this to get a clear understanding of the subject. If something seems wrong they will not be able to let the situation be. When they argue they argue for the situation not themselves. They also plan before acting. They do not make rash impulsive decisions. They complain a lot. Not in a demanding way rather th...
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.
Taking any type of personality test can lead to a lot of thought and reflection on yourself,
