The online test scores are relatively accurate compared to my self-ranking scores. The only marked difference is observed in Neuroticism as my online test score says that I am neither “nervous or calm” while I consider myself someone who is easily stressed in certain situations. The low scores in both Openness to New Experiences and Extraversion confirm that I am not only a conservative, but also an introverted person. I received a high score for Conscientiousness and Agreeableness confirming that I am self-disciplined and compassionate to others. 5. My proposed future profession is becoming a pharmaceutical scientist working in drug research. My personality assists me in becoming an effective professional as I am well-organised and diligent when it comes to completing tasks on time (2). When working in groups, I not only am a reliable and productive team member, but I can also co-operative with other members (1,2). I am also aiming to develop medication to help others, which hopefully can aid in alleviating their pain. However, in situations when I am required to do individual work, I will work more efficiently as I am a quiet and independent worker (2). My personality score for Openness to New Experiences is low indicating that I work well in established environments, such as drug research, where I would follow strict protocols and would not be required to design new interventions or methods (2). Therefore, when working in this particular profession I would not be anxious
or worried as there is structure to prevent unfamiliar circumstances from arising.
According to the IPIP-NEO personality assessment I am average when it comes to extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness but, rank low on the neuroticism and openness to experience categories. When I read the title ‘openness’ I assumed that it would mean friendly or something along the lines of that. After I read the description of what openness truly means I was a bit offended at first because I believed the score was telling me that I was not a smart person. As I read deeper into the meaning that the assessment gave I realized that “down to earth, practical, and conservative” (Johnson) were not insults but adjectives that I would have chosen for myself, minus the conservative part. Conservative is not a word that I would ever use for my way of thinking and that one section of openness to experience did not correlate with me. I am not a person who likes to think critically and that may be the reason why I dislike math so much. I refuse to
It took me a little while to think on some of the questions because I had to think about what the true answer was and not just how I wanted to view myself. I’d say most of the results are accurate except for competition and significance. They do not describe my personality because I’m a pretty laid back person and I do not like to measure myself according to other achievements because it would drive me crazy to live my life that way. I’m the type of person that doesn’t care about what other people think about me unless it is my close family and friends. On the other hand discipline was very accurate. I’m the type of person that will get things done because I control that part of my life. I need to be in control of most things in my life or it is too unpredictable and that scares
The Myers and Briggs personality test is unlike many of the personality tests you will find randomly online because it was designed to examine the ways in which you focus on the world and make everyday decisions. After taking this test myself I have found out a few things about myself that I did not really notice before. According to the Myers-Briggs test my personality type is INFP, which stands for Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perceiving. At the start of this test I had no idea that I was considered an introvert because as far as I can remember I have always loved being around people and never really thought about things before acting, which is the exact personality of an extrovert. The end of this personality test has a section that describes the different traits of those under that category and as for what it says about me I do feel that it matches some of my traits to a tee, but at the same time I feel like there are a few traits that are a bit off. Perso...
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.
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,
Neuroticism boldly contrasts with the other personality traits in the Five Factor Model for personality (Openness, Agreeableness, Extraversion, Contentiousness, and Neuroticism). An individual being high in any of the other four traits could hardly be considered pathological. For example, high levels of agreeableness, within reason, would probably be considered to be a positive and healthy characteristic. However, the discussion regarding neuroticism certainly takes a darker turn. Gunthert, Cohen, and Armeli (1999) in their study, operationally define neuroticism as a predisposition to experience negative affect (negative emotional systems). Lahey (2009) defines it slightly differently, as the tendency to “respond with negative emotions to threat, frustration, or loss.” More generally, the personality trait is characterized by anxiety, angry hostility, depression, self-consciousness, impulsiveness, and vulnerability (Cervone & Pervin, 2010). Neuroticism has critical implications outside of personality psychology. Some researchers suggest that neuroticism is significantly correlated with both physical and mental health issues more so than any other personality trait variable. This increased risk is not just for a particular group of pathologies; neuroticism has been linked to Axis I and II disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) across the board (Lahey, 2009). In some occupational performance studies, negative affect was negatively related to job performance (Kaplan, Bradley, Luchman, & Haynes, 2009). This may be extrapolated to individuals high in neuroticism, as it the trait is the predisposition for the experience of negative affect. Research on daily stress and coping showed th...
The Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) is a widely used personality inventory. It has sixty questions using a Likert scale that measures five personality traits: OCEAN – openness (to experience,), conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. My overall results from the NEO-FFI were low in neuroticism, low in extraversion, high in openness, average in agreeableness, and high in conscientiousness. Likewise, my results were fairly consistent with what I had originally perceived my scores to be. Overall, I do agree with my results since there were many consistencies I recognized. Yet, at the same time, my behavior could fall into both categories of high and low compared to the norms. Additionally,
The results that I have obtained from the personality assessment were: INTJ. These results identify that I am an introvert; I tend to be intuitive; I am a thinker; and that I need closures and feel the need for things to be organized or structuralized. I personally believe that the results I have obtained from this assessment truly reflects who I am. If I contemplate about it, I need to be able to grasp onto things before processing the next information, especially when people are telling me multiple things at a time. I enjoy to be myself and sometimes, around a group of other people. But, I mainly tend to study alone and stay to myself rather than engaging with other people. In addition, part of my intuitive resorts to me assuming certain things without using any sort
Openness, the first area of the personality test, is described as a person’s ability to think in abstract, complex ways. In this section, I scored a 70% which means that I am moderately open to experience. People who are creative, intellectual and adventurous tend to score higher, whereas people who are dull, practical and more concretely focused tend to score lower. Since I scored moderately, I fall in between both
The 50 item Australian Personality Inventory (API; Murray, Judd, Jackson, Fraser, Komiti, Pattison, & Robbins, 2009) was used to measure each of the Big Five personality traits; openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. The API indicates that I am higher on neuroticism than conscientiousness (33 and 26 respectively). Furthermore I scored higher than average on extraversion (36) and openness (36) while scoring slightly lower than average on agreeableness (37). Therefore…
Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment. The difference between average and outstanding employees can often be solely personality related. As the employee is the most valuable asset to the company, ‘selecting the right employee during the process is critical’ (Carbery and Cross, 2013, pp. 41-53)
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.
A friend of mine took this simulated NEO PI-R inventory and saved the results.Her score on extraversion is low, indicating you are introverted, reserved, and quiet. She enjoys solitude and solitary activities. Her socializing tends to restricted to a few close friends. Her score on agreeableness is low, indicating less concern with others' needs Than with your own. People see her as harsh, critical, and uncompromising. Her score on conscientiousness is average. Meaning she's reasonably organized, reliable and self-controlled. Her score on neuroticism is low, indicating that you are exceptionally calm, composed and unflappable. She does not react with intense emotions, even to situations that most people would describe as stressful. Her score
The results described me as being low on extraversion, average on agreeableness, high on conscientious, low on neuroticism, and low on openness to experience. Looking at my final scores, I see that the test did a very good job of characterizing how I think my personality is overall. I believe the test worked extremely well in capturing my personality. For example I am an introvert. I do not like having a large group of friends and I would never walk up to someone I didn’t know and began talking to them because that makes me extremely nervous. The test really summed up my personality and how I act on a daily basis. What I thought was really interesting was looking at the break down of each category. The neuroticism category was very amusing to me because it says my self-consciousness was high. I do know that I’m very aware of everything and I’m very sensitive and get embarrassed easily. Even though people try to make a joke about me even if we’re related or I’ve known them for a while I still get embarrassed, so I try to remain invisible in a sense. I think the test worked very well o...
In class we read four stories about immigrants and their experiences. Out of all the stories the one that touched me and I could relate to the most was “No Speak English” by Sandra Cisneros.
