Personal Description of the Assessment & Assessment Experience When I was asked to take the Jungian/Myers-Briggs Personality Type assessment I was skeptical of what it would show. My thoughts went to “how could a test explain my personality and who I am?” I tried to keep an open mind while I was answering the questions to the best of my ability. However, the results of this assessment impressed me. I feel that it was able to adequately describe three out of the four things that it was testing. My Results & My Cultural Influence A lot of what this test showed I would have to agree with, according to this assessment I am ISFP, which is Introvert, Sensing, Feeling and Perceiving. ISFPs tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get …show more content…
The first thing that this test shows is whether a person is an extrovert or an introvert. An extrovert’s source and direction of energy is mainly in the external world, while an introvert focuses mainly on their own internal world. According to this assessment I am considered an introvert, however I know that I am not an introvert, I am very loud and boisterous. I am a type of person that holds nothing in whether good or bad. I am outgoing and friendly. So, this part of the assessment I cannot agree with. I think that my family culture plays a great deal into this personality trait. In my home, my father was always outgoing and loud, I would classify him as an extreme extrovert. I spent a lot of time with my father growing up, and because of my time with him I learned to be loud and outgoing as well. I was taught to be myself, no matter what. I was taught that everything and everyone has beauty and that I should always strive to find that …show more content…
I would put these three things under the culturally biased because in most cases especially from the town that I am from, these would be solely girl or boy attributes. What I mean by this, a man would choose puts stuff where ever, uncomfortable with emotions and follows the head. Most men are taught at a very young age that you should not do anything that could show a sign of weakness. And these things could be construed to be feminine. Woman are raised to be a homemaker and mother so therefore most would choose to keep a clean room. According to some cultures woman are a weaker softer sex therefore they would value emotions and woman would be taught that they should always follow their heart, instead of following their head. Men are the ones that must do the thinking, while woman are to do the feelings and everything that goes with
From the above test I undertook, it is evident that I incline more to being an extrovert than an introvert. Even though I strongly disagree with the fact that my emotional intelligence is low, as per the results, I think the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test was unbiased and precise. This can be proven from my personality class, which is EFNJ.
I took the Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test. This test is based on Carl Jung’s and Isabel Briggs Myers’ typological method to assist in understanding personality type. What a person receives from this test is a 4 letter formula which helps them learn about their personality type. The test also helps them understand what career or occupation they might be interested in and what jobs would use their personality traits. I was surprised at my results and it helped me understand myself a little better.
The questions were very thought out and not too broad which was an intelligent idea because if you want to achieve specific answers in a personality assessment, there needs to be specific questions. I read a book about the Big Five before this assignment was assigned so while I was taking the test I could partially tell which questions corresponded to which division of the Big Five. Nevertheless, that did not have an impact on how truthful my responses were. If I were to take the test again I do believe that I would get a similar score because I answered honestly and the answers I chose were the ones that represented me the best. I assume that the test would produce results for diverse groups of people as long as the information about gender, age and country were answered correctly. I thought that having a test that compares similar types of people to each other was a brilliant idea for the reason that it could have been too generic if
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,
The Big Five Personality Test provided an interesting account of my personality. Although the majority of the results were accurate, I was surprised by two of the outcomes. According to this test, I am a closed-minded, unmethodical, social butterfly that is well-mannered towards others and composed under pressure (John, 2009). First, the results were completely accurate as I am extremely extroverted. I never meet a stranger, and I carry on conversations with anyone. From the custodian, to the cashier, to a random person on the street, it gives me a great sense of fulfillment to engage in dialogue with others from all walks of life. Second, I agree that I am polite and supportive, especially with family and friends. Overall, I try to always
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
The Myers and Briggs Analysis is a series of questions that when answered are examined and grouped together in order to determine the personalities of those taking this test. This particular test can result in sixteen different outcomes or types of personalities, which is determined by four different categories that judge if you are introverted or extroverted, use your senses or your intuition, your choice to think or use your feelings, and finally if you are judgmental or perceptive. These series of questions are designed to judge our personalities and help us to determine which career pathways we will be most suited for based on our personality traits and abilities to work well with others, which is important for our future decisions.
I found the results of my self-assessments to be a very insightful and accurate description of myself. The results of the learning styles test and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II are very valuable for examining my personality traits and learning style and making improvements as needed.
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
Based on “The Myers Briggs Type Indicator” self- assessment, my results reflect myself. I've taken similar tests in the past to see how I would collaborate with people that had similar interests as me. My results were ISFJ, meaning Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judgement. It’s based of Extraversion- Introversion, Sensing- Intuition, Thinking- Feeling, and Judging- Perceiving.
The test overall did a fairly accurate job in measuring the various factors of my personality. I only disagreed with two of the ten factors, which I merely saw as an overt measurement. The test appeared to be valid for the most part pertaining to my case, and since validity correlates with reliability, its reliability appears to be relatively strong. However this is merely an opinion based on my interpretation of my own personality. It could be equally likely that other people may get many scores in which they totally disagree on. Since this test was written 20 years ago the question of re-standardization also comes into play. As for cross-cultural differences discussed in the introduction, to me it is unclear whether or not the questions are common to all cultures and backgrounds, yet among English speakers the questions seemed well structured. While no test is perfect, the 16 PF does seem to have relatively high reliability and validity, making it ideal in measuring personality traits.
I’ve been introverted all my life and if I could change any characteristic and result of the personality test, it would be this one. Introverts tend to think first and act second which I believe is a positive characteristic that applies to me. I’m not a “spur of the moment” type of person in the least therefore I like to think of pros/cons and negative/positive consequences of a decision or action. I also value my alone time and prefer to spend most of my time either alone, with my husband, or with a small group of people.
Taking a personality test is something that I have had to do a few times. First in college while going for my bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, then while attending Airman Leadership School, and finally for this class. Taking these test all three times I have received similar if not the same results so I think that I have answered these truthful each time. Some of the tests that were required for this class were more in depth, taking 82 sub test
