Personality Tests

Jung Typology Test:

After answering 72 yes or no questions, I received the letters INFJ. This means I strongly prefer introversion over extraversion (78%); I prefer intuition slightly over sensing (12%); I slightly prefer feeling over thinking (12%); I also moderately prefer judging over perceiving (56%). At first, I thought it was interesting how the test says that I prefer feeling over thinking. I always thought of myself as a logical person. I also found it interesting how accurate the others were. I am definitely a shy and reserved person. I usually do not like to mingle with people or start conversations with them. Additionally, I do tend to judge others by their appearances (maybe too much). Overall, I thought most of the results were accurate, and it was fun trying to figure out my true personality.

Art and Personality:

During this test, I had to rate different paintings on how much I liked them. I also had to rate how talented I thought the artist was then take a mini personality test at the end. According to the test, I like Impressionism. Impressionist paintings usually appear on mugs, calendars, and posters. They were also criticized for attempting to capture the effect of light and color found in nature. Here is a link talking more about Impressionism and a little bit of its background: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/imml/hd_imml.htm. The personality test predicts that I have low extraversion, average agreeableness, and high conscientiousness. I thought the test was pretty accurate overall. The personality test described me almost perfectly. I am more of a reserved girl, and I also try avoiding offending someone so I guess you can say I have average agreeableness. I am definitely an organized person who likes to prepare beforehand so the test was accurate in that area as well. I thought this test was fun, and it was interesting to see how it could predict my personality just by rating some pictures and answering a few questions.

Careers:

The purpose of this test was to see what kind of job would best suit me. According to John Holland, there are six main types of person: realistic, conventional, social, enterprising, artistic, and investigative. My results suggest that the investigative, conventional, or social types of work might suit me best. Investigative types usually like to work with ideas rather than people which is very accurate. Typical roles with this type include scientists, engineers, computer programmers, and lab workers. I find this interesting because I am actually considering going into the engineering field so I think this type really suits me. Conventional types like to be organized, and they tend to focus on accuracy and efficiency. This also accurately describes me because I usually like to be organized and have a schedule that I must follow. The test also describes me as the social type, which like to help or teach people rather than do the thinking. I think the test is inaccurate in this area because I usually like to solve the problems and do all the thinking rather than teaching and assisting other people.

The Sim's Personality Test:

For this test, I had to rate a series of personality statements from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The purpose of the test is to predict my personality based on the Sim's game. I received an 8 for neat (vs. sloppy), 4 for outgoing (vs. shy), 4 for active (vs. lazy), 4 for playful (vs. serious), and 8 for nice (vs. grouchy). My first impression of this test was that it was going to be inaccurate and a waste of my time; however, the results matched up pretty closely to the previous tests'. Just like the other tests predicted, I am a neat-freak and I do have to have things organized and planned out beforehand. As for outgoing, active, and playful, I received slightly lower scores which are also accurate. I am a shy, somewhat lazy, and somewhat serious person. Last but not least, I consider myself a very nice person. I am rarely grouchy and I usually give people the benefit of the doubt. The results also state that other Sims may take advantage of the nice Sims' good nature. Unfortunately, that is the downside of being too nice.

Implicit Association Test:

I thought this test was the most interesting of all the ones I took. Instead of answering a bunch of questions, this test has you matching a picture or a word to its correct category. In this case, the 4 categories were Black, White, Bad, and Good. If a picture of a black or white person pops up, you have to match it to the correct category; also, if a positive or negative word pops up, you have to match it to its appropriate category. You must try to answer all the questions as fast as possible without stopping to think about the answer. My results suggest that I have a strong automatic preference for white people. I never thought I was a racist person, but even the website states that our conscious and unconscious attitudes and beliefs often conflict. It does not mean that one is right and the other is wrong, so I guess this test is pretty accurate. I found it interesting that nearly 2 out of 3 white Americans show a moderate or strong preference for whites, as do nearly half of all black Americans. I guess it is true that everyone is racist in some way even if it is only unconscious.
