The Personality Test: Humanmetric Jung's Typology Test

The Personality test that I have chosen to critique for this assignment is called “Humanmetric Jung’s Typology Test”. It is an online questionnaire which uses a series of 64 multiple choice questions with a set of scalar options with “uncertain” in the middle to calculate what traits best represent you and by what percent. The four categories tested for in this test were very similar to the five-factor model of personality traits (Krause et al, 2018) and were listed as: extraversion versus introversion, intuition versus sensing, feeling versus thinking and perceiving versus judging.

Overall, my expectations for the tests reliability are high for finding the traits which it seeks out however low for the ultimate purpose of the

For this reason, the test would be able to see the basic trend in answers favouring towards extraversion and still give the same result even if not all answers were exactly the same. Along with this, I was able to identify certain validity scales talked about in lecture which had been put in place. Firstly, the test used a fair amount of questions which, as discussed in lecture, forces the testee to answer based on their initial feeling instead of analyzing each question and choosing what they deemed the best response. Along with this, there was an option for uncertain which was placed as the middle scalar in each question. After an attempt to complete the quiz once with a majority of uncertain answers, I was prompted to take the test again before I could be given a result. This was an example of the “? Scale” talked about in lecture. An area of improvement which could have been incorporated into this test would have been the use of an “F-scale” which is incorporated in the MMPI. I was able to hypothesize that no F scale factored in since there was not any questions which seemed like they would have been very out of place if they would have been answered yes which
