In the past, I remember having experienced taking several different personality surveys when I was taking a psychology course in high school, in addition to taking this same exact survey in Professor Zinger’s class during spring quarter. Although I took it twice, I enjoy taking personality surveys because I get to learn more about myself and think about questions I haven’t had the chance to consider before. But overall, I thought this survey was very useful and easy to complete. It was also very easy to follow, understand, and didn’t take long to get through. In reference to the survey, I scored 33 for neuroticism, which is considered being high in neuroticism. Therefore, I am characterized as sensitive, emotional, and prone to experience …show more content…
I try my best to be understanding of others in what they choose to do; however, if I do not agree with what they say or do after listening to how they feel, I will state my opinion and justify it according to how I feel about it. I am very stubborn when it comes to topics such as sports. I’ve played volleyball and badminton throughout my years in high school. I just started to play intramural volleyball at UCI and I still have a lot to learn and practice because it has been so long since I last played. However, when it comes to learning the right techniques, I am stubborn in the way that I like doing them the way I am used to. I am aware that learning the correct way is more efficient, but the fact that I’m so used to how I played before, I don’t want to allow myself to change. I am open to my friends teaching me and demonstrating how it should be done, but I will still continue to play the way I am comfortable with, regardless of how persistent they are. In addition, when it comes to competition, I have to be good or better than my teammates. Because of my previous exposure to intense conditioning and workouts, I push myself to get back in shape, especially when I work out with friends. Competition has always been my …show more content…
I like to keep my belongings organized. Although it does get messy, it won’t bother me unless it’s everywhere. I also used to be strictly all about achieving my goals and I tend to get anxious if I don’t get things done ahead of the deadline. But I’ve learned to give myself a break and some leisure time because being so hard on myself about my work and my grades isn’t good for my health. For example, I used to stay up so late just to complete an assignment that wasn’t due until 6 o’clock in the evening the next day. Although it isn’t a bad idea to get the essay done early, I compromised my sleep and ability to focus throughout class the next day due to my high standards of completing everything early. However, now, I am able to give myself a break and possibly hang out with a few friends without the stress affecting
Understanding why people do what they do has baffled people for centuries. The Myers-Briggs Personality test has answer a few of these questions. Are you an Extrovert or an Introvert, Sensor or iNtuitive, a Thinker or a Feeler, a Judger or Perceiver? Once you have the tools to understand yourself, you are capable of understanding others. How does your personality complement a coworker, a family member? How can I be more understanding based on my knowledge of how a coworker comes to conclusions about life and their surroundings?

For the Openness to Experience/Intellect, my score indicated that I prefer traditional and familiar experiences. While that may be true, it also indicated that I was uncreative and had narrow interest. I think I am a very creative person, because some In allowing them to have a voice, they will be able to offer feedback or contributions (positive or negative) that can be instrumental in some decision making. I will set the example by being a good role model, so that they will not only hear what they are expected to do, but also see.
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?

It only took about five minutes to complete, which isn’t long. While taking the survey, I had to double-read the question at times because I didn’t know the answer. Some habits are easy to see and some I had to think about it because I never fully took into account every detail of my behavior. Also, it was interesting to learn that my behavior has changed. I think it is easier for others to see changes than yourself, unless there is a significant event in your life. Hence, I didn’t realize my neuroticism has decreased significantly over time. Also, I found this survey was well-organized. When I went back to look at the questions, I found that each trait had twelve questions asked in five sets. Mixing the traits made the survey easier to go through for me in
The ability to be self-aware, identify specific personality traits, and assess personal strengths and weaknesses are powerful tools for lifelong personal and professional success. One of the most popular and trusted personality assessment tools utilized today is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (CPP, 2016). According to Meyers-Briggs Personality test my personality type is ESFJ also known as “The Caregiver.” An ESFJ is one of 13 personality types identified through the Myers-Briggs assessment tool (HumanmetricsInc, 2016). This assignment will identify the different aspects of my personality and how they work together. It will also evaluate strengths, weaknesses and organizational behaviors in an effort to maximize professional performance.
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,
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.

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
I started playing volleyball in seventh grade, and I had completely fallen in love with the sport. Growing up in a small town, our school always struggled to find coaches that were not related to players. In middle school, I would always be so angry that the important named kids got to play in the A team, while I was stuck in the corner with the B team. Eventually, eighth grade year I decided to join a club team, and increase my skill for freshman year. I enjoyed club, I had actually made the one team, and I had virtually no problems with anyone or anything that season. But, just as soon as freshman year rolled around my attitude changes a lot. I’ve gained the perfectionist trait from my mother, and with this mindset in a sport, you’re almost guaranteed to struggle. Freshman year I had just come off of club, so I knew so much more about the sport and its movements. Naturally I wanted to be perfect, I personally believe that I had done really well as a freshman, but when I messed up I became silent.
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...
Taking any type of personality test can lead to a lot of thought and reflection on yourself,
Personality is the expression of a person’s traits according to ones feelings, mentality and behavior. It involves understanding individuals’ traits such as withdrawal and willpower and how various parts of an individual link together to form personality. Personality expresses itself from within an individual and is comparatively regular throughout in an individual’s life. Different people have different personalities dependent on factors such as environment and genetic composition. Our personality is dependent on the success or failure of our development in the eight stages of life. This is proposed by Erik Erikson. Success in the development stages lead to virtues while the failure leads to malignancies.
