According to the IPIP- NEO Test, it lets the individual know what personality he/ she have by estimating each level of their five broad personality domains of the Five-Factor Model. The test contains 300 questions that uses a Likert Scale which is completed within 40 to 60 minutes. If the test is taken in a timely manner, the more likely the test and results can be reliable. If an individual rush to take the test, the less likely the results will not be what one expects them to be. The IPIP- NEO Test has a short version which people may take within 20 minutes, but there is less reliability compare to the long version of the test. A few days ago, I took the long version on the IPIP- Neo Test which it took me about an hour to complete. As I submitted the answers and waited for the results, I was thinking that it will show that I am an introvert. Once I received the results, I was shocked to see that I was 45% extravert because I feel and see myself as an introvert. The test pointed out that I received a high score in extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism, but scored low in openness to experience. After taking the IPIP- NEO test, I took the ONet Interest which helps an individual identify which career will satisfy his/her job interest. The results demonstrated that I scored high in social interest career than the other five interest. My IPIP- NEO and ONet Interest are a criterion validity since the results will more likely to be similar to one another. For example, for the first test it showed that I am an extravert and within the second test it also said that I like to socialize. Both test results point out that I am an extravert because when people are around me I am friendly, gregarious, cheerful, ... ... middle of paper ... ...do like to socialize with others. I like to offer my people my help whenever they need it such as answering questions even though I may not know, but going out my own way to see if someone else may know the answer. If there is a new student or coworker, I like to show them around and try to start a conversation or vice versa. 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.

  • Personal Assessment According To The IPIP-NEO Personality Assessment

    1039 Words  | 3 Pages

    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

    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.

  • Neuroticism and The Five Factor Model

    2561 Words  | 6 Pages

    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...

  • Neeuroticism Extraversion Openness Five Factors Inventory

    1497 Words  | 3 Pages

    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,

    According to the American Psychological Association, section 3.09, psychologists must cooperate with other professionals in order to provide the best advice, treatment, and research ideas possible (APA, 2017). Throughout this article, it is very clear that all of the professionals involved worked well together in order to provide clear information, collaborate on research theories, and to provide a new perspective on the personality theory. According to Henriques, 2017, it is not uncommon for personality researchers to mistreat individuals during within-person approach and between-person approach and the Big 5 personality test is described as questionable because it does not go into detail about the personality aspects of the within-person approach (Henriques,

    With the conscientiousness category I was rated with a 58 percentile, stating I was neither organized nor disorganized. This is supposed to state weather you are able to show self-disciple and aim for high success. Which I totally disagree with because I feel as though I am the most disorganized person of all time and can never remember where I place things or can find them if that. Furthermore, I also disagreed because I find myself as a very well disciplined individual with structure and set high priorities for myself in my life to become successful. In addition, I did not quite agree with the category of openness to experience/Intelligent. As Rentfrow states, this category is supposed to say weather you have an appraising art, sentiment, voyage and unique concepts (Rentfrow). I had scored a 20 percentile stating that I have narrow interest and uncreative. Although I might be a tad bit of an uncreative side to myself, I don’t agree however it stating I have narrow interest, because I feel as though I always think out of the box about things and try and figure out problems before they even occur. For the most part of the personality test I would have to agree with what it is stating, especially for being an online data test it sure is precise on how it describes my personality as a single

  • Personality And The Five Factor Model

    934 Words  | 2 Pages

    Personality is massive part of an individual’s identity. Our personalities dictate our patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting. An individual’s personality exposes them to predispositions and habits that influence their actions and lives. Early on, personality assessments consisted of physical features ranging from head shape and facial characteristics to body type. In today’s world, personality assessments are mainly based around traits. Traits are simply descriptions of one’s habitual patterns of behavior, thought and emotion. The most popular personality assessment is the Five-Factor Model, also known as The Big Five. This model allows us to describe people based on the five main traits/dimensions. These traits are extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. Each of these five traits measures a different aspect of one’s personality. Extraversion is based on one’s level of engagement with the world,

  • The Five Characteristics Of The Big Five Trait Assessment

    959 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Big Five trait assessment explores many different components of the personality, dividing them up into five main traits: openness, extroversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and agreeableness. There are multiple views when it comes to these traits, including the genotypic view, looking at traits as something you have, and the phenotypic view, claiming that traits are simply your tendency to act in a certain way, but not a certainty. The phenotypic view seems most aligned with how I view personality, therefore all the traits I discuss will be looking at my tendency to act a certain way. For the most part, the test results I got when taking the Big Five were accurate. My extroversion/introversion scale, aesthetics, and conscientiousness results seemed to closely mimic my behavior and cognitive processes, therefore I shall explore how those influence my
