Five Personality Assessments

Human personality is complex and intrinsic. There are numerous factors that determine one’s personality and wide variations in one’s personality. However, by taking personality assessments one is able to pinpoint reoccurring themes in their personality and behavior, providing them with an overall idea of who they are. There are times when personality assessments are inconsistent. Luckily, it is not difficult to recognize which parts of the test lack accuracy because they stand out from the reoccurring themes. It is interesting to learn and reveal new information about yourself that you may or may not desire. This gives individuals the opportunity to work towards increasing or decreasing a personality trait if desired. One of the inferences

Across these five personality assessments, I discovered three reoccurring themes; conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion. Although, the three themes I listed above are three of the five personality traits from The Big Five Personality Test each test portrayed these themes, but in different words. For instance, the Personality Atlas test stated I was welcoming (agreeableness), polite and respectful (conscientiousness), and fun (extraversion). The Big Five Personality Test gave me a 94% in conscientiousness, a 79% in extraversion, and a 90% in agreeableness. The SIE Scale tested my level of extraversion which was a 48. This scale explained that anyone above a 48 is put into the highly extraverted category. Therefore, I am extraverted, but not highly extraverted. Due to the nature of the

This personality trait can be explored through the cognitive approach. During the years of my child development, my parents continuously stressed the idea and the importance of setting high expectations for myself and that the way to reach these expectations is through making responsible decisions (McPherson, 2018). Therefore, this idea of having to be responsible in order to reach my high expectations has been primed and re-primed throughout my life (McPherson, 2018). The characteristic of responsibility became a part of my personality because the idea and importance of it was chronically accessible to me, allowing for continuous priming (McPherson, 2018). This personality trait can be seen in my academic career, in my work life, in my social life, in my personal life, and in many other areas of my life. My trait of responsibility is best observed in my academic career and in my social life. I finish homework and assignments on time, I complete my own work, I ask questions, I attend tutoring sessions, and I seek help when needed because I have been primed to be responsible in order to reach my expectation of academic success. When it comes to my social life I make decisions that pertain to who I hang out with, what I do, and how much time I spend socializing, which are stemmed by my personality trait of being responsible in order to reach my
