My Personality Test: The Myers Briggs Personality Test

I was extremely excited to participate in this personality test, for the Myers Briggs test is vastly popular among others like it. The version provided was not the actual Myers Briggs personality test, but it was set up to provide alike results. While taking the test I was measured to determine my personality based on extraversion over introversion, sensing over intuition, feeling over thinking, and perceiving over judging, but it was not set up to measure in that particular order.
The Test
After taking the personality test I was matched with a ESFP personality type. This simply means that I am an outgoing person who is spontaneous and loves to have fun. Which, if I may say, matches my real-life personality perfectly. One statement explains,

This is exactly how I am during conversations. I tend to become overly excited and bounce back and forth from one topic to the next as I speak. Which can prove to be challenging when I am trying to make a valid point to someone. The highest results from this test showed feeling at 38% (Humanmetrics, 2017). Having a high feeling score shows that I care deeply for others and make decisions to benefit everyone, not just myself. My next scores came in as a tie, for both my extravert and sensing scores were ranked at 12% (Humanmetrics, 2017). These results again acknowledged the fact that I am an outgoing person intrigued by new items and adventures. The sensing factors such as taste, touch, and feeling, hearing and sight have been known to be a reasonable factor as to why extraverts are known to crave adventure and new stimulating experiences (Humanmetrics, 2017). Coming in at the smallest percentage, perceiving was ranked as 6% on my personality test (Humanmetrics, 2017). This small percentage still play a great role in helping shape my personality. For a personality can be described as, “The relatively stable constellation of psychological characteristics and behavior patterns that account for

One of the greatest advantages of having an ESFP personality for they are known as easygoing, generally kind, and sociable (Nevid, 2015). Great social skill, such as being outgoing, can greatly increase one’s chances of making friends or gaining work promotions. For example, a person interviewing for a company may have higher chances of landing the job if they are able to speak clearly and show self-confidence. Having an ESFP personality type would allow that person interviewing to be seen as being fully composed of great assertion skills that could be beneficial in the work force. Therefore, a person with an extraversion personality may find it easier to be hired for a job than someone with an introversion personality. Another advantage of an ESFP personality includes sociability skills. This means that people with extraversion personality may find it easier to make friends, especially in new environments, than those with an introversion personality. Nevertheless, there are some disadvantages of having an ESFP type personality. One explanation states, “Extraverts may require more stimulation to raise their arousal to optimal levels, which could explain why they are drawn to more exciting activities” (Nevid, 2015, p. 419). This means that people with extraversion type personalities are more likely to attempt and participate in dangerous activates. For example, a person with an extraversion personality may
