Personal Assessment Of Personality Assessment

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

I was taught that everything and everyone has beauty and that I should always strive to find that

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
