I enjoyed taking the True Colors and Strengths Quest Assessments. They both were surprisingly accurate, and had different approaches, and layouts. The True Colors assessment was good for giving a quick, general description of myself using colors that represent certain characteristics, and Strengths Quest was much more in-depth and personalized, and gave titled themes in order of most like me to least. The True Colors assessment was very good at giving an overall summary of my traits with a color coordinated format. Based upon the True Colors Personality Assessment I resulted in 16 Orange, 15 Green, 9 Gold, and 8 Blue. It was clear that I was somewhat even, but had a lot more characteristics in the Orange and Green sections. There were and were …show more content…
I know a fellow classmate who is almost equally Orange and Green, like me, but when we took the Strengths Quest Assessment, we didn’t share a single Top 5 trait! How can this be? Although I found True Colors accurate, I found Strengths Quest much more accurate. My top five themes from most to least are “Includer”, “Communication”, “Positivity”, “Woo”, and “Activator”. The overall description is the same, but I like how this one focuses on what makes us stand out. As an “Includer” I stand out because I can find something good in each person I meet, which makes me a very likeable person. I will befriend just about anyone who is in my life. Seems very “orange” to me. As a Communications major, I was glad to see Communication as my second trait. As a “Communicator” I am very loquacious or fond of talking, so fond that I am comfortable telling personal stories describing my experiences. Communications is very much a descriptor of both orange and green in the True Colors assessment. My third descriptor was positivity. This is absolutely an orange trait, and even a little blue. I am optimistic, and will have fun whether I win or lose a contest. I often keep my distance from “Debbie Downers”, or “Negative Nancys”, (or the male versions), and although I open myself to a wide range of people, I try to be around more optimistic people. Woo! I thought that was a hilarious abbreviation for my next descriptor. WOO means to Win Others Over. I want people to like me. I am very sociable, friendly, and interested in people. I can easily go from group to group, and people appreciate my unreserved, gregarious, and friendly nature. This is very “blue” and “orange”
The questions were very thought out and not too broad which was an intelligent idea because if you want to achieve specific answers in a personality assessment, there needs to be specific questions. I read a book about the Big Five before this assignment was assigned so while I was taking the test I could partially tell which questions corresponded to which division of the Big Five. Nevertheless, that did not have an impact on how truthful my responses were. If I were to take the test again I do believe that I would get a similar score because I answered honestly and the answers I chose were the ones that represented me the best. I assume that the test would produce results for diverse groups of people as long as the information about gender, age and country were answered correctly. I thought that having a test that compares similar types of people to each other was a brilliant idea for the reason that it could have been too generic if
At the end, I disagree and agree with the test results because it somehow shows where I am at within my level of personality. When my received my results, I was shocked because my expectation was the complete opposite. I wish I had someone to explain to me why my view and the test results were different when I took the time to complete all 300 questions. I agree that self-report cannot be reliable compare to having a psychologist test an individual. Hopefully retaking both test will have different results than the first time I have taken it.
October 18, 2016 the Career Services Center collaborated with Tracy Flynn Bowe from New Directions to bring SCSU What Color Is Your Personality. The lively event was held at 12:30pm in the Cascade Ballroom, located in the Atwood Memorial Center. The purpose of the event was to gain more self-awareness and embrace our personalities. It was an informative, exuberant, entertaining seminar that was worth attending. It jumpstarted the catalyst to start becoming more aware of who we are and our personal traits.
The True Colors Personality Test was created as an informative way to find the keys to success based on one of four metaphorical personality “colors”, orange, gold, blue and green. Most teenagers have an orange personality because of their spontaneous, carefree demeanor and curiosity. Amelia Earhart, the first female to fly a plane across the Atlantic Ocean solo, fits into the orange personality category. According to True Colors, after her first flight crashed, she emerged with a bruised lip, torn dress, and a “sense of exhilaration” and exclaimed, “Oh, it's just like flying.” Not only does this quote show her playful, humorous personality, but it shows that she’s welcome to new ideas since she had never flew before.
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
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.
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
Being bold is what makes you successful with anything you decide to tackle. I admire how you speak your mind and aren't afraid to do it. The most important trait that you embody, however, is being unforgettable. When you enter a room your strong and compelling presence can be felt. Closing my eyes to think of you, I envision yellow, like the sun. Your energy is warm and radiant.
There are four colors that exist in this personality test: blue, green, gold, and orange. One word to describe blue would be caring. People who have blue as their most dominant color are usually caring, social, and empathetic. These people go into careers having to do with the fine arts, education, motivating others, nurses, and other careers that help people. People with green as their dominant color are problem solvers. They love challenges, are dedicated, are a bit introverted, and love to explore and invent. Greens usually go into professions that include change into routine (like a traveling job), gathering new knowledge (like scientists), or where they have to think with their heads and stay objective (like a judge). People with gold as their most dominant color are organizers. The golds are usually prepared, clean, and traditional. They go into jobs that have to do with planning and organizing. Now, the people with orange as their dominant color: they are
fan. One trait about oranges that I don't agree with is the character trait of expressing impatience. The True Colors activity describes me as an orange and I can agree with the fact that we love sports and are natural entertainers. I don't, however, agree that we all express impatience.
Do you ever wonder who you are or how others view you as a person? The color code quiz presumes your characteristics and brings you more knowledge of yourself. Based on my results, I share many qualities of the color, blue. What does it mean to be a blue? Blues are motivated by intimacy, and genuinely desire close relationships with others, and in return, they expect to be understood and appreciated. However, one color does not necessarily define my whole character, rather I am a diversity of many traits.
I am a lucky person. I was raised by a very caring pair of parents with three very good siblings in an extremely affluent town. I attended the best grammar and high schools in the state, continued on to graduate from one of the best universities in the world, and had no idea what to do next. My drive to excel was both internal and external—I really do love success, but I was equally pressured by outside sources to succeed. The advantages I was given served both to help me start ahead of others and stay ahead in life, and to cripple me once I had traveled through those first two decade’s worth of rites of passage.
After taking the Big Five Personality Test I’ve concluded that it is a fairly accurate assessment of my personality. 1) On Openness to Experience/Intellect I ranked at the 53 percentile, with the description that I don’t typically seek out new experiences. I would agree with this assessment. While I am somewhat creative, I am no artist. It takes me more time to do something creative than something analytical, but I do still like to be creative on occasion.
...iod when it comes to paying bills, arriving on time to work or simply having open communication with someone those are all characteristics of responsibility. One distinguishing personality trait that makes me exceptional is outgoing personality. This is paired with my developer strength and my inability to connect with people. I have the capability to see the potential in others. In my circle of friends I have became the confidant and the one the call for advice, this also balances my developer trait because others seek me out for help and encouragement given on some level they know that my helpfulness is both genuine and fulfilling. I’m compassionate about the success of my family and friends and the ones that truly care for me. Having a positive attitude and spreading a big smile is an act of kindness that I try to exhibit through the daily roles I play in life.
Hundreds of personality classifications exist. (Already the ancient cultures created their own character ideologies.) I can’t review all, this pile of information is as high as the Himalaya. I will only have a short look at some basic treats from you can hopefully find the one that suits best to you. The traits consist of the next elements:
