Personality Test Reflection

Taking any type of personality test can lead to a lot of thought and reflection on yourself, how you live, and how you interact with other people. I have taken some personality tests in the past that seemed to have been way off from what I believed about myself. This could be in part because I took them at a younger age and didn’t really “know” myself at that time. The results of the JUNG Typology test and the DISC Assessment actually proved to be fairly accurate to how I view myself today. While the tests weren’t exactly eye-opening for me, they did serve to confirm many beliefs and views that I had toward myself, my interactions with others, and what
I enjoy in life.
JUNG Typology
My results for the JUNG Typology test were INTJ (Introvert,

INTJ’s also have a tendency toward perfectionism and this fits me as well. I’m constantly trying to improve on things that I do on an every day basis (work, house work, cooking, etc.) to make them better and more efficient, and I put a lot of focus on improving with my schoolwork by reading and analyzing assignment feedback on from professors and peers.

DISC Assessment
I had a little more trouble figuring out the DISC Assessment at first and had to read deeper into this assessment then I did the other one in order to find the explanation of the analysis report. For the “D” (decisiveness) score, I scored moderately low and the description that goes along with this score fits me for the most part. For instance, I tend to lead by “doing” and I definitely hesitate to share my views and opinions on certain topics. I also tend to be conservative when making big decisions. My “I” (interactive) score was high average. Out of the whole assessment, this was the only area that I didn’t feel was as accurate. While I have an
“open-door” policy with the people in my life and I’m confident when meeting new people, I definitely do not like having a lot of contact with other people. I do tend to prefer solitude

I often exhibit these personality traits while I’m at work (I’m a
Corrections Officer), and my job is often chaotic but I always appear calm even when during a high stress and high risk situation. I am also good at calming people when they are upset, which is part of the reason I chose to become a Social Worker. My score for “C” (cautiousness) was high average which was once again fairly accurate for me. I like activities that require me to think critically and I prefer attention to detail, and keeping my home and work space clean. I felt that overall, the DISC Assessment was very accurate for me aside from just a few sections.
Conclusion
I was surprised at the accuracy of the JUNG Typology Test and DISC Assessment. It was amazing to me that in just a few questions, the analysis painted a pretty accurate picture of who I am and how I am with very few things that I would disagree about my personality traits. I

did enjoy taking the tests and reading the results, and I hope that I will be able to use the information that I gained to help me learn even more about myself and therefore be able to
