Personal Thinking Styles
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.
My professional attitude is similar. I find that I try to communicate well with others and express my interest through body language such as smiling, eye contact, nodding of my head, etc. I do to show that I can be personable and hope to build good relationships on that. Based on my scores, I also show higher scores for Conventional, Dependant, and/or Avoidance. This is true in the sense that sometimes, if I find myself too comfortable in a situation; I tend to become withdrawn in order to protect my well being. I don’t want people to take advantage of me, so I become distant after a certain point. This does cause conflict for me both at work and in my personal affairs.
My second highest score came from Perfectionist behavior. I think this tie hand in hand with Affiliative, in the sense I am trying hard to be accepted by others. I find that I am never satisfied with a situation, and find solutions for creating a challenge. Like I stated, I don’t let myself become to comfortable, so by becoming distant, I create a challenge for myself. I am not satisfied with a relationship if I am too comfortable, I try to find ways to improve. I have high standards which result in disappointment from people and myself if they aren’t met. At work I find competition, when I am not at the best, I am trying to always improve. I find this exhausting, because it is never enough.
First, I can perform well in almost any environment. This is due to my sheer determination to reach my goals. Once I set them, it can be extremely difficult to dissuade me from pursuing my goals. I also perform well in an academic setting, owing to the fact that I have always been very academically inclined. In my experience, when I put forth any degree of effort towards them, academic challenges tend to cease being an issue. This does not mean, however that I cannot hold myself well in a professional environment. When in such an environment, I can maintain a detached, professional demeanor, while still displaying interest in any topic being
In the article “Dealing with People”, Greg McGrew explains that different types of personality to solve the problems of people’s relationship in our society. He classifies people by four types that are dominants, expressives, analyticals, and amiables. Greg begins with dominants who are forceful, confident, sociable, outgoing, and confrontational tend to threat their mental. Secondly, he describes expressives who are also quite forceful and reluctant to reject a suggestion due to concern about relationship. Talking with them is good method of treating expressive people. Then, he points out that analytical people deliberate to get the right answer. Even though they are superior in making decision, they need time to think how to answer the question.
In the Open-Mindedness personality section, my percentile is a 7. I’m more close-minded, meaning I tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative, and I prefer traditional and familiar experiences. In the Conscientiousness personality section, my percentile is an 87. I’m more conscientiousness, meaning I am reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful, very well-organized, and can be relied upon. When it comes to the Extraversion personality section, my percentile is a 7. I’m introverted, meaning I tend to be shy, reserved, inhibited, quiet, and I probably enjoy spending quiet time alone. When it comes to the Agreeableness personality section, I scored a 78. I tend to be agreeable, meaning I tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, and courteous. Finally, when it comes to the Negative Emotionality personality section, my percentile is 67. I’m a little bit more nervous/High Strung than Calm/Relaxed.
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 breakdown was as follows, in the area of self-awareness, the score was a 19, in the area of internalized moral perspective, the score was a 19, in the area of balanced processing, the score was a 14 and in the area of relational transparency, the score was a 15. The total scores received reflected high self-awareness and internalized moral prospective and low balanced processing and relational transparency (Northouse, 2013). The higher scores were indicative of me being a strongly authentic, whereas, the lower scores showed that there was some weakness in authentic leadership (Northouse,
My scores were very surprising to me, I scored very high on the Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability and my lowest score was in the Openness to Experience, which I thought was very accurate as I do find myself to be conventional. According to the “Big Five model” it is a measure of one’s reliability; also having a high score such as I did it says that I am responsible, organized and dependable (Robbins & Judge, p. 108).
I love people. Since I am 81% extroverted, I gain energy from being with others and seek to make the people I love happy and one of my greatest joys is to see those I love succeed and have their dreams come true (16 Personalities, 2017). I am loyal, but I tend go somewhat overboard when trying to avoid conflict or make things work in a relationship. I can allow myself to be hurt by being transparent and then
For me, I took a Big Five Personality Test that I found online through a google search. Through this test, I scored high in openness to experience with an 87.5%, high is conscientiousness with an 80%, moderately extraverted with 55%, moderate in agreeableness with 67.5%, and low in neuroticism with 22.5%. With my high score for openness, I am flexible and
With the conscientiousness category I was rated with a 58 percentile, stating I was neither organized nor disorganized. This is supposed to state weather you are able to show self-disciple and aim for high success. Which I totally disagree with because I feel as though I am the most disorganized person of all time and can never remember where I place things or can find them if that. Furthermore, I also disagreed because I find myself as a very well disciplined individual with structure and set high priorities for myself in my life to become successful. In addition, I did not quite agree with the category of openness to experience/Intelligent. As Rentfrow states, this category is supposed to say weather you have an appraising art, sentiment, voyage and unique concepts (Rentfrow). I had scored a 20 percentile stating that I have narrow interest and uncreative. Although I might be a tad bit of an uncreative side to myself, I don’t agree however it stating I have narrow interest, because I feel as though I always think out of the box about things and try and figure out problems before they even occur. For the most part of the personality test I would have to agree with what it is stating, especially for being an online data test it sure is precise on how it describes my personality as a single
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
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
4) With Agreeableness I ranked at 83% with the description of good-natured, courteous and supportive. Being my agreeable self, I agree with this assessment. I have a natural affinity for empathy and sympathizing with others. 5) In Neuroticism I ranked at 37% - generally relaxed. This is also accurate. I would probably rank lower if it weren’t for being a worry wart, which is linked to my high conscientiousness. People often comment on how easy-going I am, but if they could see what goes on underneath th...
The personality test I took had five major categories: open mindedness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and negative emotionality. My scores were relatively low in every category with extraversion being the highest at 53. Personally, I would disagree with this assessment and give myself a score of 80. Growing up as an only child, there wasn’t really
When it comes to openness, I’m more practical, traditional, and most comfortable in familiar surroundings. I tend to focus more on things that are more concrete and straightforward rather than abstract. People who score low in openness tend to have more conservative political views and enjoy mainstream entertainment rather than going to the opera or ballet. I fall into both of those, I vote conservatively, and I would much rather listen to pop music and see a movie rather than an opera. I do understand the importance of art though and enjoy some things that people who score lower in openness don’t. I don’t consider myself to be completely conservative, as I lean more liberal on some issues. Another characteristic of openness I don’t feel like I completely fall into is not enjoying arts. I appreciate art, and enjoy going to art museums and theater performances. So, while I don’t score highest in this, I don’t believe that I am not at all open to experience. Lastly, I score low in agreeableness. Those who score low in this tend to put their own needs and interests in front of others. While, I don’t think I’m completely untrusting of others and selfish, I do tend to show those traits sometimes. I am selfish when it comes to people I’m not close to, and I think this stems from me not being open and comfortable around new people. I think I can tie in my insecurity and being more reserved into why I am like this. When I meet a person, I don’t automatically trust that they are good and nice, it takes time for me to get to know them and make sure that they are. I am untrusting and selfish, but only at the beginning of my relationships. I don’t think these are necessarily negative traits to possess, I believe that if you’re trusting of everyone and completely self-less you’ll be taken advantage of. Although you shouldn’t be completely trusting of every single person you meet I also don’t believe
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.
