In the past two weeks, I have learned quite a bit about my personality. I have learned that I am a Blue-Gold personality and that I am also a 2-9 personality. The first of these two I found out from the True colors Personality Quiz. I had taken this quiz this summer as camp and got near results to what I did this time. This time I tied for the colors blue and gold, while this summer I scored one point higher on blue than gold. The second of these two types of personality identifiers came from The Enneagram test which uses numbers as an unbiased grouping system. I had never taken this test and it was interesting to see how many of the numbers I corresponded with. My main two were numbers two and nine, but numbers one, four, and six were all …show more content…
These traits also describe me very well. Gold personalities are rule followers and like routine. I am definitely the kind of person who likes to follow the rules and a schedule. I hate being late, and often expect others to not be late as well. According to the results, gold’s lead in a stable and organized way. They expect other people to do things the “right” way and almost never question tradition or authority. I feel that this describes the part of me that the blue personality did not describe. I also think the bad day explanation is more accurate to me than the blue one. I tend to get anxious when I am having a bad day as well as getting tired and depressed. It also says that you start getting bad thoughts about yourself and others, while I generally do not get bad thoughts about others I do have bad thoughts about myself on bad …show more content…
If I had to pick one that I feel suits me best, it would probably be number nine. Type nine is also nicknamed the peacemaker or mediator. This describes me pretty well as I hate conflict and just wish everyone could agree to disagree. According to the results, at my best I am peaceful, patient, and diplomatic. I have to agree with these traits for myself, as they are also described by my two colors, specifically blue, from the True Colors Quiz. It also informed me that I am forgetful and apathetic on my worst days, this couldn’t be more of the truth, though I find that I am forgetful even on good days. When I am having a bad day all I want to do is go to my room, curl up in bed and sleep. I tend to not care about things that I normally do care a lot about. One of the things in the results that I absolutely love is that I love discussion but hate confrontation. I love talking about controversial subjects with people who are mature enough to agree to disagree. One of the practical suggestions for nines is to avoid acting like everything is fine when it is not, this one speaks directly to me. I always pretend that everything is fine even when it clearly is not, and this course has helped me learn that I really need to work on
Thomas Chou's use of Ennegram gives nine personality types to distinguish what type each person is. The Enneagram is one of the newest personality systems to become widely used, and is best known for its ability to identify psychological motivations. The Ennegram provide insights into how other people see the world differently, and it has become particularly popular within the self-help and personal growth movements. The nine types of Ennagram given by Chou are: reformers, helpers, motivators, romantics, t...
The Big Five is the most widely accepted and used model of personality. The model consists of broad dimensions of personality traits. These dimensions are: Openness to Experience/Intellect, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism.
This was also referred to as The Advocate which I thought was very appropriate for our assingment. The results state that The Advocate has a strong sense of morality, likes finding solutions for others and one of the strengths listed was that this personality type makes excellent counselors. This type is known for seeing through manipulation and dishonesty and getting to the heart of matters with truth and sincerity. I can see that all of these personality traits are crucial for helping others and dealing with the conflict that arises when advocating for those who are oppressed and face discrimination. Some of the weaknesses stated for this personality type are perfectionist, impatient, extremely private, sensitive, and burn out easily. As I read the weaknesses, I realized that I need to keep self care a priority throughout my education and future career. It also makes sense that a lot of my self care practices are about introspection and finding balance. I think that this assessment was very accurate of my personality and I enjoyed reading about The Advocate personality
Everyone has their own personality, but each of those personalities can be separated into 9 categories through the enneagram system. Assessing one’s personality type can help strengthen and understand relationships in a person's life. I have focused on how enneagram number four, my personality type, impacts my relationship with my boyfriend Lukas who is enneagram number two. A relationship between a four, the romantic, and a two, the giver, can be extraordinarily intense. My relationship with Lukas, to put it simply, is quite intense.
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.
Another fact is that personality can be described just by the name. An example, on my research I found web sites with my name wich described my personality. Kabalarians.com/male/judith.htm., "Judith is happiest when associating with singing, dancing, and having a good time." Accordingly, all this quote describes me perfectly because I always like to be happy and having a good time with my friends. For example, If I am spending time with my friends, I like to be thinking positive and enjoying it as much as I can. I have never liked to see any of my friends sad or with problems, if that is the case I try to cheer them up. I also found some weaknesses, kabalarians.htm., "Over indulgence in food or emotional desires could cause you to have problems in your nervous system." Without a doubt this totally describes me. There is times when emotional desires get to me and take time to get them out of my activities.
A person’s personality has been the subject of psychological scrutiny for many years. Psychologists have drawn up several theories in an attempt to accurately predict and determine one’s personality. Foremost amongst these, is the “Big Five Trait Theory” which stemmed from Raymond B. Cattell’s theory.
There are many people in this world; no two people are the same. When considering personality theories it is important to note that not all theories apply to all situations or all people. Different theories have different approaches. It is important to know the person before making assumptions about the proper theory to apply to the person or in any given situation. The purpose of this paper is to analysis how different personality theorists could interoperate different individual circumstances and behaviors based on case examples provided by the instructor.
Enneagram Personality Assessments are tools for better understanding the many complicated aspects of how a person thinks and acts. Although I felt some of these traits applied more than others, the assessment provided an excellent resource, or guide, for better understanding my own personality.
In the vast and detailed world of psychology, there are a variety of different tests you can participate in. For example, you can participate in aptitude, verbal or numerical reasoning, and psychometric tests. These tests assess on a variety of different situations such as: behaviors, abilities and intelligence. Personality tests, a common and favored test, measure things such as: behavioral style, opinions, motivators, personal values and career interests. Most often, people complain or disagree with the score of some areas on their personality test; however, there are no right or wrong answers. After completing this personality test and reviewing the results, I found that the overall scoring accurately described me in most areas. The Big Five Personality test scores in five different areas involving openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.
The trait I believe I reflect most is caring. I am always available when my friends, or even strangers, need help. I hope that I am a good person for someone to talk to as I am open-minded enough to never judge someone for their misfortunes or wrong doings. This brings me to the other trait I relate to most, which is open-minded. I believe that I am able to understand most people’s point of view in situations even if they seem to be in the wrong. Two other traits I relate to very much, however not as much as the aforementioned traits, are knowledgeable and risk-taker. I am knowledgeable not only in the sense that I am intelligent but also that I am on a journey of seeking higher knowledge and the secrets the world has to offer me. Knowledgeable can help me in my area of risk-taking by allowing me to not take risks that will produce a dangerous outcome. I am a risk-taker in my personal life more than my educational one because I find joy in new experiences and enjoy being adventurous and taking risks. The traits that I particularly relate to are balanced, a thinker, and reflective. I view myself as a thinker due to the immense amount of time I spend pondering the spiritual aspect of life. Although I would possibly describe myself as a thinker, I would have a harder time describing myself as reflective because I prefer to live in the now and not reflect back onto my sad past. Balanced is a trait that I see in myself but I also me failing at being balanced always. I tend to balance time between friends poorly, however not by intention. Also, I need to work on balancing my time spent on projects and assignments in school. The traits on the list I relate to the least are principled, inquirer, and communicator. Although I am principled, I find myself being more open to ideas and possibilities, that some people believe are wrong. I am not as stubborn as many principled people are, my opinion is
I chose to take a self-objective personality assessment on Outofservice.com to analyze my own personality traits. A series of 60 questions were asked for to me to rate my behavior a scale of 1 through 5 to determine my personality. Questions ranged from, how I am at parties to how much I care for others. The website uses the Five-Factor Model to understand the way people’s personalities differ from one another’s, the same model used in general psychology. I was given a percent and a brief description on my behavior in the traits of Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Even though they are many more personality traits, each individual lies somewhere on the spectrum of these five
Personality traits are evaluated by taking different test and serves a purpose to help one figure out their personality trait. When I learned my personality trait, the first thing I read about my trait was something Joe E. Lewis said. As Joe E. Lewis stated, “You only live once- but if you work it right, once is enough.” When taking the Enneagram test, I learned that my personality type is an Adventurer and what it means to be an Adventurer not only means that I am a very optimistic person and I don’t let anything get me down. As I look more in context on my personality trait, I found that my wings are the Asserter and Questioner. Some characters of the sixth wing which is the Questioner trait is that they “tend to be more loyal, endearing,
According to the Keirsey temperament sorter assessment, the temperament type that fits my personality is ESTJ (Extroversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging) (Keirsey & Bates, 1984).
The concept of personality has numerous definitions (Fatahi, Moradi, & Kashani-Vahid, 2016). Schultz and Schultz (2009), define personality in its broad sense as the manner of an individual’s behaviour in different situations.

The results of numerous empirical research studies are examined in order to investigate if, and how personality changes over time. It will be argued that an individual’s personality has the ability to change throughout their life.
